<montgoej> update manager is being mean to me today :(

<etank> what do you mean

<montgoej> it won't install 4 packages...it recommends that I do a dist-upgrade

<montgoej> apt-get upgrade just says the packages have been held back

<montgoej> I made a post in the forums about it but noone responded yet :(

<etank> try sudo aptitude update ;; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

<montgoej> ah I see...but why did it have to be dist-upgrade and not just regular upgrade?

<etank> not sure

<etank> I always use aptitude instead of apt-get

<montgoej> hm...

<montgoej> I'm gonna restart x chat real quick, brb

<montgoej> okay, I'm back

<Zuph_> Holy crap, 300

<Koji-Murasame> Zuph: Good?

<jkeyes0> woo, borat!

<X626> Hello.

<etank> hi

<X626> Wow...this is the quietest I

<X626> 've seen this channel.

<X626> Stupid enter key.

<etank> too quite

<X626> Yeah, I know.

<X626> Heh...I forgot about using visudo to edit the sudoers file....I remembered it after I made a post about it (though I never really use it....I like vi). I'm kinda....mad....that I forgot about it.

<etank> what post are you refering to?

<X626> I'm referring to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2274239 aysiu pretty much reminded me about it.

<etank> aysiu is a machine

<etank> (s)he know just about everything I think

<X626> Yeah, I've noticed that. aysiu posts in about every topic, and always knows the answer.

<etank> i dont know how many times i have posted replys to questions that have links to his site

<X626> Reading the flames on linuxsucks.org is pretty funny. I don't think they have even spent 5 SECONDS with Linux...I don't like the site, though. I just find it good that people who like Linux have joined it to prove a point.

<X626> I at least try to LOOK at something (for more than just a few minutes) before giving an opinion like that about anything.

<etank> i agree

<etank> however I do not think that I will be doing any Vista installs

<etank> that is unless a company wants to pay me to do it

<etank> i am going to take the stand that a few others have had and not support Vista for friends and family

<etank> i will however help them switch to Ubuntu (or any other version of Linux)

<X626_> I really hate dial-up. I seem to get disconnected all of a sudden. It used to not happen much, but it's getting worse and worse now...

<X626_> AND I always have to wait for my other nick to time out before I can get it back. I wish I had high-speed Internet.

<X626_> I think I'm gonna go...Too quiet in here.

<|{evin> wake up, america

<etank> why?

<|{evin> because

<|{evin> I have almost-new server racks I need to get rid of

<etank> not good enough.

<etank> on the second thought

<etank> what kind of racks

<|{evin> IBM, front and back doors, extended back

<jkeyes0_afk> racks, you say?

<etank> hey i was here first :)

<etank> jkeyes0_afk: i thought you were afk

<jkeyes0_afk> :) sneaky sneaky. reading through backlogs of the forum while waiting for parents to show up.

<etank> |{evin: what are you going to do with it

<|{evin> "it"?

<jkeyes0_afk> actually, I have nothing to do with racks atm, so it's all you, etank.

<|{evin> I think you mean "them"

<etank> them it whatever

<jkeyes0_afk> how big are they?

<etank> jkeyes0_afk: im just kidding anyway

<|{evin> full height

<jkeyes0_afk> :P

<etank> how many are there?

<|{evin> 42 U or whatever

<jkeyes0_afk> wow

<|{evin> about 7 I think

<etank> WOW

<jkeyes0_afk> time to start an ubuntu datacenter?

<etank> are you selling them on ebay or something

<|{evin> I thought about it

* etank agrees with jkeyes0_afk :)

<etank> lets all start a company

<etank> sounds like we have part of the equipment

<|{evin> but why fuck with ebay and paypal.. If I can pawn them off locally I can just use my truck and drop them off

<jkeyes0_afk> I don't own any rack-mount servers yet. and the wife would kill me. :P

<etank> i dont either but it would be cool to have them

<|{evin> Computer Outlet.. rack-mount 4u... ~ $150

<etank> where did you get them

<etank> or can you say ;)

<|{evin> ancient chinese secret :)

<etank> thought so

<jkeyes0_afk> what was that about computer outlet for $150?

<|{evin> 4U Rack Mount case

<|{evin> somewhere around that price.. I can't remember exactly

<|{evin> $127 sticks in my head.. but I can't remember

<jkeyes0_afk> very nice. put a decent server mobo and components in that, you've got a server for $600 or so.

<etank> so about that start a company idea. any takers?

<|{evin> shiit

<jkeyes0_afk> what sort of company?

<etank> i dont care

<|{evin> I build pretty decent machines from there for around $300

<jkeyes0_afk> where is computer outlet?

<|{evin> Bluegrass Industrial Park

<|{evin> right next to 64, between Hurstborne and Blankenbaker

<jkeyes0_afk> ah, louisville. so not too far from here, really.'

<etank> with 7 racks we could start an isp, consulting company, off site storage, etc

<etank> jkeyes0_afk: you are in Frankfort right

<jkeyes0_afk> yes I am.

<jkeyes0_afk> start an ISP to compete with plant board. haha

<etank> TheLighty might be interested that. he owns an isp

<jkeyes0_afk> really? wow.

<etank> yep

<etank> near indiana i think is what he said

<|{evin> right across the river, I believe

<jkeyes0_afk> only problem is, you have to have money for a startup. I had a small company in Georgetown for about a year, and finally gave up on it

<etank> there is always a catch

<jkeyes0_afk> family's here. I'll be back later tonight. later guys

<etank> cya

<etank> so what are you going to do with the racks |{evin

<|{evin> sell them to whoever wants them

<etank> aah

<etank> have you set a price yet

<etank> not that i could afford them

<|{evin> no

<etank> |{evin: does the computer place you mentioned earlier have a web site?

<|{evin> www.computeroutlet.net

<etank> thanks

<etank> anyone know how to remap a drive on Windows XP

<|{evin> what do you mean?

<etank> the OS crashed but reformatting was not an option because of data on the disk

<etank> so i used partition magic to shrink the two partitions that were on the drive

<etank> one of the partitions is still seen as C: and a system drive

<etank> the new install went to a L:

<etank> i want to remap the L: to C: and the current C: to something else

<etank> I know that there is a tool on a Citrix disk that allows you to do this but I can not find anything other than that

<etank> and I dont have a Citrix disk with me

<|{evin> there's a way in the registry

<|{evin> it does pretty much what the citrix tool does

<|{evin> but I'll be damned if I can remember where I found it

<etank> I tried using the UBCD4Win CD and it remapped it but it only lasted while the CD was running

<|{evin> nah, gotta do it in the reg

<|{evin> http://www.petri.co.il/change_system_drive_letter_in_windows_xp.htm

<etank> trying it now

<etank> rebooting

<etank> God I hope this works

<etank> hanging

<etank> this is becomming a PITA

*** TheLighty is now known as TheLighty[BNC]

<etank> and im not even getting paid
