<0> i am off to bed soon too
<0> ttyl mate
<1> went to bed around 5 am drunk as **** haha
<0> haha
<0> while i was in germany
<0> i had so much to drink
<1> lol
<0> i even puked from water the next day
<0> just normal water
<1> i don't even remember going to sleep lol
<0> warer swallowed
<0> water
<0> 2 seconds later
<1> hahaha
<0> ughghhh
<0> lol
<0> ;-p
<2> I need to backup some stuff on a hard drive with an installation of linux (suse 10). When I insert the hard drive on my other computer (Windows XP), I see the hard drive in the computer management but I cannot ***ign a drive letter or anything to view the files and backup the data.
<2> Does anyone know how to solve this?
<3> you can't see linux file systems in windows
<3> windows is too stupid to see linux file systems
<3> you can view windows xp's NTFS but you may not beable to write to it
<3> depends on the module you installed for ntfs in your linux kernel/mod
<2> ok
<2> so there's no way of solving it?
<3> what I would do
<3> yeah
<3> do you have a cd burner or networking?
<2> yes
<2> and yes
<3> setup Samba
<0> there are fs extensions for winblows
<3> DR-Evil, screw that
<3> they ****
<0> !google windows ext3
<4> http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
<3> he can transfer his files from linux to windows using networking
<2> yes melio but that's not a solution
<0> true
<2> thing is
<0> yes it is
<3> dodey, you have two computers or just a hd
<2> I have linux on it but I switched hardware
<2> and I don't know how to recompile suse10 to work on the new hardware
<2> :P
<0> and ?
<0> it should work anyway
<2> and... I can't boot it on the new hardware
<2> no, it's a different chipset
<0> in 95% of cases
<2> yes but it doesn't
<2> it stops
<3> dodey, ok so the harddrive is basicly unbootable linux
<3> dodey, you can always use knoppix
<3> mount the drive
<3> configure samba tempoarly and do some network transfers
<3> Live CD boot
<3> wonder if DSL has samba built in
<3> dam small linux boots off a usb drive
<0> dsl ?
<0> ohh
<0> nm
<3> DR-Evil, it's actually a good os :P
<3> I wouldnt use it as a primary desktop
<3> I use way more space then a usb drive can handle
<0> same as ubuntu
<2> hmm ok so I take knoppix, insert the cd, fix the networking and then transfer it to this comp?
<3> well not fix it
<3> but configure it so you can see your windows box
<3> then just mount the hd and do some file copies
<2> KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.iso
<3> dodey, knoppix is a very well known linux rescue cd
<2> is that the one?
<3> yep
<2> k
<2> downloading @ 3,4 MB / s
<2> ;)
<3> i'm surprized suse doesnt have hardware detection like fedora does
<3> I suppose if I dropped a fedora harddrive into another pc with a differnt motherboard it might flip out too
<2> hmm well
<2> I tried to use Installation -> Repair
<2> but that didn't do it
<2> I just got a ****load of errors
<2> :)
<3> you shoulda just reinstalled over top
<3> your home dir woulda been fine
<3> just pick a differnt home user name so it doesnt overwrite it
<2> but it asks me to partition the hard drive etc?
<3> i'm not sure how suse handles it
<3> but most linux distros will take pre-existing partitions and not wipe them
<2> ok
<3> so it's possible to reinstall over top
<3> I'v done it before
<3> I did have to reinstall all my personal apps
<3> but I didnt loose any of my images, software archive ect.. mp3s
<3> but that was fedora. I dono how suse would handle it
<2> ok
<2> I'm gonna try knoppix first
<2> and see what it can do
<3> sure
<2> perhaps I can load it on this windows machine
<3> that you can
<2> and transfer the stuff I got on the linux disk to the windows disk
<3> just set your cdrom drive as bootable in your bios if it's not already
<2> if it supports the NTFS properly
<2> yes
<5> you are going to run into trouble there
<2> magikman really?
<2> :(
<3> dodey, knoppix doesnt handle ntfs nicly
<5> you aren't going to be writing to NTFS from knoppix ;)
<3> dodey, keep this in mind. Linux and NTFS are not perfectly talking yet
<5> nor will they ever
<2> ok
<2> man I hate this :)
<3> magikman, it's good to hope :P
<5> :)
<3> dodey, take your time and don't stress
<3> dodey, simply mount your old hd. and use samba networking to transfer your data
<0> magikman, how does one add a launcher into a gnome menu ?
<5> i think the issue with them adding write support into the kernel has nothing to do with the code, but rather a law.
<0> hi btw
<5> i don't use know
<5> ewrr
<5> gnome
<0> bah
<5> i wouldn't know
<3> DR-Evil, I do
<0> i should ban you all
<0> lol
<0> Melio, tell me
<0> ;-D
<3> what do you want?
<0> i hardly evewr used the gui
<3> a menu item?
<0> yah..ive got the launcher
<0> i wanna move the launcher into the menu
<3> grab it and drop it
<3> should just go there
<0> dont work
<0> lets try again
<3> is it on the desktop?
<0> sec
<3> right click it, add to launcher
<3> then grab it and move it from the bar
<3> ya know DR-Evil I just put stuff on the bar
<3> if it gets to be too much. I install something using gnome desklets
<3> and make a seperate menu for whatever catogories I want
<0> i dont want it in the panel
<0> i want it in the menu hehe
<2> btw, why do people recommend fedora over suse?
