| Langjan | Morning Kilos howzit | 04:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Kilos | hi Langjan | 04:50 |
| Kilos | ok ty and you? | 04:51 |
| Langjan | OK thks just burned the midnight oil then got lost | 04:51 |
| Kilos | lol | 04:51 |
| Kilos | what do you need to know with kde | 04:52 |
| Kilos | took me a while to get used to it, but once you are familiar with it it works better | 04:52 |
| Langjan | For starters this thing says proprietary drivers might be required to enable additional features | 04:53 |
| Kilos | yes then just tick it | 04:53 |
| Kilos | and it will look for drivers for graphics cards etc | 04:53 |
| Langjan | refresh driver list? or just ok | 04:53 |
| Kilos | ok | 04:53 |
| Kilos | if you have nvidia graphics card then install nvidia-current | 04:54 |
| Langjan | Have no idea what graphics | 04:55 |
| Kilos | using the propriety ones you sometimes need to do a reinstall after kernel upgrades | 04:55 |
| Kilos | it will tell you | 04:55 |
| Kilos | oh maybe you should have done the refresh thing | 04:55 |
| Kilos | then it looks for drivers | 04:55 |
| Langjan | make up your mind, I dont have one here | 04:56 |
| Kilos | click the launcher and type in drivers | 04:56 |
| Langjan | I wanted to make a short cut to her documents then it tells me to enter file name and path | 04:57 |
| Kilos | then tick additional drivers | 04:57 |
| Langjan | ok one thing at a time | 04:57 |
| Langjan | whwres the launcher | 04:57 |
| Kilos | they blue K bottom left | 04:57 |
| Kilos | everything is found from there | 04:58 |
| Kilos | when you got time explore all it can do | 04:58 |
| Langjan | nothing there about additional drivers | 04:58 |
| Kilos | type in additional then | 04:59 |
| Kilos | mine shows it | 04:59 |
| Langjan | type in where | 05:00 |
| Kilos | when you tick the blue k type | 05:00 |

| Kilos | nee man | 05:03 |
| Kilos | when you tick the blue K bottom left it opens a small window | 05:03 |
| Kilos | at the top is a line where you can type in | 05:04 |
| Kilos | maybe you need to tick it to focus | 05:04 |
| Langjan | it opens a menu but no type box | 05:04 |

| Kilos | can you type in there | 05:06 |
| Langjan | so obviously if you use kde you need lots of help | 05:06 |
| Kilos | no man | 05:06 |
| Kilos | have you updated/upgraded | 05:06 |

| Kilos | but the desktop reinstall is lots | 06:34 |
| Kilos | basically the whole system | 06:35 |
| Kilos | as long as it doesnt show error messages you just leave it to run | 06:35 |
| Kilos | but im sure that was a bad install from scratch | 06:35 |
| Kilos | maybe some bad sectors in the drive | 06:36 |
| Langjan | Aptitude is 11 MB | 06:36 |
| Kilos | aptitude installs in seconds on a good drive | 06:36 |
| Langjan | I have not got to desktop yet | 06:36 |
| Langjan | only aptitude | 06:36 |

| Langjan | revenge for 15-man fiasco | 07:07 |
| Langjan | I think my dvd's are not good, none will boot, only 10.04 which does not seem to have disks available. Will try to burn new iso | 07:33 |
| Kilos | use 10.04 | 07:33 |
| Kilos | and gparted | 07:33 |
| Kilos | delete every thing and make new drive | 07:34 |
| Langjan | is it called disk utility? | 07:34 |
| Kilos | ext4 and you can name it i think | 07:34 |
| Kilos | disk utility is good too | 07:34 |
| Langjan | its a sata disk | 07:35 |
| Kilos | thats ok | 07:35 |
| Kilos | gparted will fix it if no disk utility | 07:35 |
| Langjan | ok now its New Volume 39GB ext4, is that it? Now fresh install | 07:37 |
| Kilos | yes | 07:37 |
| Langjan | Going for Ubuntu 14.04 | 07:38 |
| Kilos | new volume is a stupid name for a drive | 07:38 |
| Kilos | i name them according to size | 07:38 |
| Kilos | like 40g | 07:38 |
| Langjan | Whats in a name | 07:38 |
| Kilos | when you do paths one day to find something you will see | 07:38 |
| Kilos | short clear name | 07:39 |
| Kilos | easier to track | 07:39 |
| Kilos | no spaces or funny characters | 07:39 |
| Langjan | It refers to a required firmware update | 07:44 |
| Kilos | install from scratch | 07:44 |
| Langjan | I saw the same error in kde install but it passed on before I could get all the details | 07:44 |
| Kilos | firmware for where | 07:45 |
| Kilos | the motherboard | 07:45 |
| Langjan | will have to restert and get back to that message | 07:45 |
| Kilos | ok | 07:45 |
| Langjan | can nthe screen be frozen on that message? | 07:48 |
| Kilos | maybe with pause button | 07:48 |
| Kilos | i have no idea | 07:48 |
| Langjan | did not pause, all I got was error dev sr0 sector 107900 and then where was a weblink that I could not get | 07:50 |
| Kilos | ok try the install | 07:51 |
| Kilos | we can look for bad blocks later | 07:51 |
| Kilos | the bad blocks command marks them so they arent used | 07:51 |
| Kilos | same as scandisk in old windows and chkdsk in later ones | 07:52 |
| Langjan | then funny install screen with three horizontal bars, black top and bottom and red in the middle, same screen showed with kde install and disappeared afterwards, I thought it was as it should be but also shows on Ubuntu install | 07:52 |
| Kilos | but we will first check if there are bad blocks | 07:52 |
| Kilos | dont forget all linux is more sensitive to faulty or weak drives than windows is | 07:53 |
| Kilos | tell the tannie to save for an ssd | 07:53 |
| Langjan | Cursor shows inside a 20 x 20 mm red block that moves around with it | 07:53 |
| Langjan | window does not respond to click | 07:54 |
| Langjan | ok ts going now | 07:54 |

| Kilos | lol | 07:56 |
| Langjan | I had two 512 modules that I donated | 07:56 |
| Kilos | good man | 07:57 |
| Kilos | store up blessings in heaven not here | 07:57 |
| Langjan | what about the firmware warning? | 07:58 |
| Kilos | lets see if it works first | 07:59 |
| Kilos | could be a fujitso mb upgrade | 07:59 |
| Kilos | thats major work | 07:59 |

| Langjan | I think you think right for a change, lmga! | 08:07 |
| Langjan | See my mail re paypal, does not recognise tara's id | 08:08 |
| Kilos | oh my | 08:09 |
| Kilos | see pm | 08:10 |
| Langjan | The link looks like this, I googled the part I could get down: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211 | 08:12 |
| Kilos | lemme see | 08:14 |
| Langjan | install screen is not clear tells me things are not kosher | 08:20 |
| Kilos | try this | 08:21 |
| Kilos | use gparted again | 08:21 |
| Kilos | make a 5g partition and dont use it then make a partition for the rest of the drive and install there | 08:22 |
| Langjan | must I abort install? It's done about 70% | 08:22 |
| Kilos | or install xp on 5g | 08:22 |
| Kilos | well see how far it goes first | 08:22 |
| Kilos | dont abort | 08:23 |
| Kilos | it will tell you if it cant complete | 08:23 |
| Kilos | the first 5g is where most damage occurs | 08:24 |
| Kilos | boot sectors and so on | 08:24 |
| Kilos | i have used widows to use that part of the drive and installed alongside | 08:24 |
| Kilos | oh no | 08:24 |
| Kilos | not alongside | 08:25 |
| Kilos | in the left over part of drive | 08:25 |
| Kilos | but i think then you must make partitions for / which is root and /swap and /home | 08:25 |
| Langjan | Seems to be installing | 08:28 |
| Langjan | configuring now | 08:28 |

| Langjan | Running nicely on ubuntu 14.04 with gnome desktp, diska shows no bad sectors | 13:11 |
| Langjan | disks | 13:11 |
| Kilos | run that command in the mail | 13:11 |
| Langjan | it is pretty hot | 13:11 |
| Kilos | it will check properly | 13:12 |
| Langjan | ok | 13:12 |
| Kilos | we 39°c here atm | 13:12 |
| Langjan | let me check | 13:12 |
| Kilos | just the first command will show the state of the drive | 13:13 |
| Kilos | if no bad sectors then no further worries | 13:13 |
| Langjan | 35 in the shade but with ceiling insulation we close windows and curtains mid-morning then inside keeps cool | 13:13 |
| Kilos | yeah that could help | 13:14 |
| Kilos | they got wonderful coolers in melbourne | 13:14 |
| Kilos | water coolers | 13:14 |
| Kilos | big square thing on roof | 13:14 |
| Kilos | cools whole house to where i shiver | 13:14 |
| Langjan | invalid last block | 13:17 |
| Kilos | then run the next command and it will mark it | 13:18 |
| Langjan | my cuz reckons Steve Biko is your best bet | 13:18 |

| Langjan | Pretoria, old H F Verwoerd | 13:19 |

| Langjan | Aussies are well-organized | 13:23 |
| Langjan | blanke toesig | 13:23 |
| Kilos | oh | 13:26 |
| Kilos | i had a friend pass in that hospital | 13:26 |
| Kilos | service and care sucked | 13:26 |
| Kilos | kalafong is good | 13:27 |
| Kilos | had my hernia done there | 13:27 |
| Kilos | but far from rustenburg | 13:27 |
| Langjan | # sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda1 > /tmp/bad-blocks.txt | 13:30 |
| Kilos | that should tell you if there are any | 13:30 |
| Kilos | look in tmp folder and read | 13:31 |
| Langjan | service and care sucks in all hospitals, even private ones | 13:31 |
| Kilos | lol | 13:31 |
| Kilos | njono | 13:31 |
| Kilos | nono | 13:31 |
| Langjan | few exceptions | 13:31 |
| Kilos | kalafong was great when i went midyear about | 13:31 |
| Langjan | it looks like its checking | 13:32 |
| Kilos | and the hernia op was well done with no comebacks | 13:32 |
| Langjan | yes I remember you had good experience there well then you gotta go for it | 13:32 |
| Langjan | where is kalafong | 13:32 |
| Kilos | and | 13:32 |
| Kilos | proffesors do the serious work while interns watch | 13:32 |
| Kilos | south of pretoria along church street | 13:33 |
| Kilos | but thats also too far from here | 13:33 |
| Kilos | ian says he hears good stuff about swartruggens hospital | 13:33 |
| Langjan | ok I see it, its closest to you where you live? | 13:33 |
| Kilos | busy enquiring more | 13:33 |
| Kilos | yes | 13:33 |
| Langjan | so whats the prob? | 13:34 |
| Kilos | what prob? | 13:34 |
| Langjan | you looking for advice about where to go | 13:34 |
| Kilos | oh ye i was hoping to find a good one in rustenburg area | 13:35 |
| Kilos | time away from work costs ian money | 13:35 |
| Kilos | and adds to workload later | 13:35 |
| Langjan | swartruggens is not too far from there but seems like Rustenburg is not to be recommended, pity Jak is no longer there. | 13:36 |
| Kilos | yes swartruggens is 40 ks | 13:36 |
| Langjan | They appointed a nurse that he trained as super above him, then he upped and left | 13:37 |
| Kilos | eish | 13:37 |
| Kilos | thats whe way things are done | 13:37 |
| Langjan | that machine is still checking, says (read only) test - is it a long process? | 13:38 |
| Kilos | it checks the whole drive | 13:39 |
| Kilos | sector by sector | 13:39 |
| Langjan | 38 million sectors so I suppose it will take its time | 13:39 |
| Kilos | lol | 13:39 |
| Kilos | try it on a 1tb drive | 13:39 |
| Langjan | eish...I can imagine | 13:40 |
| Kilos | but then you know where you stand | 13:41 |
| Kilos | it always happens that your most critical system functions always land in bad areas | 13:42 |
| Kilos | ive had those invalid sector probs before and only way to get rid of it was to zero the whole drive | 13:44 |
| * pavlushka just added the layout and its working. yay. | 13:52 | |
| Kilos | cool beans pavlushka | 13:53 |
