<0> linuxnew: Anyway, the Ubuntu install CD is a "live CD", which means you can run it right off the CD without installing it. You could try that and take it for a spin before you take the plunge and install it on your hard drive.
<0> It will be slow, because CD-ROM drives are slower than hard drives, but it will give you a feel for what you're in for if you decide to install Ubuntu.
<1> at the laundrymat...no ****ing power outlet inside...gotta sit in the truck to charge my laptop
<2> i see
<2> a rely
<2> that nice
<2> Not does your ubut is server or computer normali?
<3> English please
<3> If you don't speak English please go elsewhere. We speak English, not babelfish.
<0> linuxnew: Ubuntu can be used on either servers or desktops.
<2> ok thanks
<0> linuxnew: There are different install CDs depending on which one you want, but really the only difference is that it won't install the graphical interface and all the eye-candy on a server.
<2> yes i need graphic interface
<0> Well then, the head over to http://www.ubuntu.com/ and grab yourself a copy of the desktop install CD.
<0> Burn yourself a nice toasty CD, drop that puppy in your CD-ROM, reboot and giv'er.
<2> thanks
<1> some fine *** women here at this laundry mat though....****in fine as hell
<1> too bad they dont speak english
<4> Why is that bad?
<4> All you have to do is teach them one sentence... "On your knees"
<1> haha
<1> good call
<4> Why, thank you. ;)
<1> i need to find a power outlet though...battery draining quickly with this wireless modem
<4> Steakk: Wanna go for a drive today? ;)
<1> syn-ack, is that a remark based on how I used to drive and IRC via my blackberry?
<4> Nope
<1> how far is that from MKE WI?
<4> I dont know, leeme look
<1> checkin now
<4> I know Im about an hour south of Chicago...
<1> 128 miles
<1> from MKE WI to Monee IL
<1> what are you doing there?
<4> Im waiting on a load back west
<1> Ah, tractor trailer driver
<4> Um, yeah for the last year now. :p
<1> I try not to pay attention to everyone elses lives...hard enough to keep track of my own :P
<1> how often are you up in this area?
<4> Steakk: Not to often. I usually run only in the 11 Western States.
<1> Next time you are around here (N of Chitown) lemme know...I'll take ya out for a beer
<1> well, not a beer if oyu have to drive :P you can have a soda pop :)
<4> Steakk: heh, will do
<1> wee, I found a power outlet!
<4> Streets and Trips is telling me its 117.6 miles from MKE to Monee, IL :p
<1> syn-ack, when is your load due?
<4> Steakk: Im not on any right now, Im sitting.
<4> Still waiting for one, that is
<1> and oyu have no idea how long you will be sitting for, eh?
<5> hi all
<1> drive N towards Chitown, I'll meet ya 1/2 way :)
<4> Steakk: more than likely till tomorrow.
<1> alo Viking667
<1> 1/2 way would be about waukegan IL, maybe a lil south of there
<1> (milage wise)
<1> More like Northbrook I would say
<4> Steakk: hrm, I dont know if I can get away with that because of planning reasons. Right now, Im only 20 miles from the terminal which is optimal for their purposes.
<1> ahh
<4> I could also get the fuel bill for going out of route and ****
<1> seriously though, next time you are around, drop me a line
<4> Steakk: of course.
<1> I've met a few ppl from #linux for drinks, lets add another
<6> anyone know anything about ATX PSU's?
<1> Speaking of drinks, Emerson, when you getting up to OH again?
<4> Steakk: Hell, I could be deadheaded to your neck of the woods to get a load of b33r or something
<1> schitzo, what about em?
<0> schitzo: A bit, I'm in the process of taking one apart at this very moment.~
<1> syn-ack, you drive for Miller or smth?
<6> the color on the cables.. which is what to measure for dc power to see if it's toast or not
<4> Steakk: I pull loads for Swift. I work for a company out of Tucson called Digby Southwest
<1> Swift? haha...spell it backwards: Two Faggots In a White Semi
<0> schit: red = +12V, black = GND, yellow = +5V, I _think_. There should actually be a legend on a sticker on the PS itself.
<1> syn-ack, I used to work at a few truckstops in the area, I know how you drives are
<0> then orange = -12V and white = -5V. But I could be on crack and you should not trust my words. ;)
<1> this mexican guy next to me keeps eyeballing my laptop
<7> any pinoy here?
<1> brb, checking laundry
<4> Jaycee: any WHAT?
<7> filipino
<7> ??
<3> Who cares
<3> We speak English here.
<1> 3 mins left
<1> alo Peter
<7> any from phil
<3> Steakk: m00
<1> o1nk!
<1> :P
<0> Can someone give me a b33fk0w?
<6> NotDigital: heh, pulling it out now to see what it might sya.
<1> Lion-O, boot Jaycee outta here
<0> schitzo: I'm pretty sure most of the PSes I have seen have a legend.
<1> Jaycee, I NEVER gave you ANY indication that you could msg me, or anyone else
<1> so STOP
<3> Steakk: I gave at the office ;)
<1> hrm?
<7> hello
<7> Strider
<7> Steakk
<7> anyone here
<1> Jaycee, the key in #linux is to talk really fast, as many lines as you can
<0> schitzo: Standard disclaimer here that you probably already knew about power supplies having a whack of juice stored in caps long after you unplug them, etc.
<0> schitzo: And if you're testing with a voltmeter be aware that PSes will refuse to turn on when there is no (or a negligible) load.
<4> HAHAHAHA, the website for my company says they have "New Equipment" Is that why I was in an 04?....
<1> LoL
<1> okay, lanudry needs to be switched...bbiaf
<4> but, I am now in a nice, shiney 2006 Volvo. So Im happy
<0> Does that Volvo run Linux?
<6> NotDigital: well see.. that's what I'm trying to figure out. IF the PSU is toast or not..
<6> NotDigital: ohh and no legend
<4> NotDigital: It very well could... Afterall its got 7 different computers in it.
<0> schitzo: Well, all you really need to know is that black = GND and the other pins are going to be +/- 5,12V.
<0> so if you see anything else you should be suspicious.
<4> NotDigital: The Quallcomm system I use runs AIX, does that count?
<0> However, you'll need to give it some sort of load to make it consider starting up. I would suggest connecting some old hard drives or something you don't care too much about.
<0> Since if it's toast it could very well send something extremely unpleasant to whatever is connected to it.
<6> NotDigital: I'm hoping that wasn't the case.
<6> HJmm old hard drive
<0> syn: No, it has binary files in /etc. That is a heresy.
<4> HAHAHAHA
<0> schitzo: I'm in the same boat, I blew up a power supply in my desktop and am going to replace the fuse and hope that's all that broke.
<4> NotDigital: I think you're going to fit in well here.
<6> NotDigital: hmm, do I have to short the green adn black or should be be providing 5 or 12 v anyway?
<4> schitzo: Those for the power signal, iirc, they dont supply any voltage
<6> syn-ack: yeah, but will the PSU still supply power if it's not shorted to make it think the computer is on?
<8> power-on needs to be tied to ground to power up
<5> if that's green on an ATX plug to mobo, that's the Power-Good signal.
<4> thats what i was just going to say
<5> s/good/on=
<0> schitzo: I have heard tell that you shouldn't just short power-good to ground, because bad things will happen to the PS.
<6> but if that's not shorted should power still flow to something on the power bus?
<8> NotDigital didnt notice anything bad happening
<0> Someone sharper than I in electronics said it could cause it to overheat if you leave it on for any amount of time.
<8> unless you count one pupil using the 230/110V switch :p
<5> You _are_ supposed to provide a "load" for tche powersupply when you power it up...
<9> twat
<4> BALL
<10> that wasn't very nice
<8> Viking667 yeah, power isnt really stable but i havent noticed anything really bad happening
<4> it is bouncy.... oooh
<3> jdh: ****ing up nick completion with one of our regulars also isn't nice.
<4> jdh: We never said anything about being nice in here.
<0> Let me guess: You don't even run Linux!
