| 05:34.49 | maquis | RyanE: yes! |
| 05:34.53 | maquis | that describes my life! |
| 05:35.15 | RyanE | successful google search terms: xkcd things break in my presence |
| 05:35.20 | maquis | aha! |
| 05:35.30 | RyanE | link in the reddit on page 1 |
| 05:35.39 | maquis | i was remembering skynet and drones, but it didn't get me to it |
| 05:36.31 | maquis | so... has anyone ever had the problem where you installed linux on a machine... and when it rebooted, it could not find *anything* bootable, including the cd that you originally used to install from, so it won't let you go anywhere besides the bios? |
| 05:37.24 | maquis | it was ubuntu-server, if that makes a difference |
| 05:37.58 | maquis | and if you have had that happen.... what in the world is the solution? |
| 05:39.24 | maquis | it wasn't an attempt at dual-boot or anything. just... |
| 05:39.25 | maquis | bah |
| 05:40.11 | RyanE | yeah, I got nuthin'. :) |
| 05:40.12 | RyanE | sorry |
| 05:40.22 | RyanE | be luckier??? :) |
| 05:41.14 | maquis | i swear computers hate me almost as much as printers hate me... |
| 05:41.27 | RyanE | printers hate everyone. |
| 05:42.53 | maquis | so... funny thing... 2 months ago, my dad was asking me for advice on debugging a printer problem he was having... I didn't have any suggestions, and was stupid enough to recommend my current printer, because it is the first printer we have had very minimal problems with... |
| 05:43.15 | maquis | 3 hours later.... my printer was misbehaving in *exactly* the same way he had been describing to me. |
| 05:43.23 | maquis | they aren't even the same *brand* |
| 05:43.56 | RyanE | heh. It's catching. |
| 05:44.33 | RyanE | I'm using the same parallel-port Laserjet 5L that I've had for nearly 20 years. |
| 05:44.57 | RyanE | Had to buy a USB<-->Parallel port adapter when I upgrade my computer this past year. No parallel port on the mobo. |
| 05:45.06 | RyanE | plugged it in, fired right up. |
| 05:45.14 | maquis | heh |
| 05:45.15 | RyanE | but inkjet, etc. hate. |
| 05:45.36 | RyanE | I did buy a fix kit for my LaserJet 5L about 8 years ago that replaced the rubber parts and made it feed well again. |
| 05:45.46 | maquis | that is awesome |
| 05:46.03 | RyanE | it came with a video file on *a CD* that had the instructional video. Pre-Youtube... :) |
| 05:49.10 | maquis | we have gone through so many printers over the years. currently there are 2 printers sitting on the floor in the "office" at home. |
| 05:49.28 | maquis | not including the one currently used... |
| 05:50.42 | maquis | HA! |
| 05:50.47 | maquis | youtube to the rescue! |
| 05:50.59 | maquis | needed to enable CSM booting in the bios |
| 05:51.04 | maquis | why? no idea. |
| 05:51.26 | maquis | didn't need to have that there to boot from the cd 2 hours ago, but apparently i do now. |
| 05:52.23 | maquis | now... to convince the computer to play nicely with wifi... |
| 05:52.24 | maquis | heh |
| 05:54.01 | RyanE | congrats |
| 05:54.07 | maquis | thanks |
| 05:54.24 | RyanE | here's to little victories. |
| 05:54.31 | maquis | notes that the people hanging around here have changed a bit in the past 9 years |
| 05:54.52 | RyanE | some have, some of us have just gotten older. :) |
| 05:55.01 | maquis | true that |
| 05:55.32 | maquis | wish I could hang around more often, but I only get to do computer stuff after the littles are in bed. |
| 05:56.51 | RyanE | mine are old enough now that some of them go to bed *after* me. :) |
| 05:57.04 | maquis | not looking forward to that |
| 05:57.22 | RyanE | it's a bit weird, my oldest is sitting on the couch with his GF *right now*... |
| 05:57.31 | maquis | scary! |
| 05:57.35 | RyanE | indeed |
| 05:57.38 | RyanE | but at least she's nice |
| 05:58.08 | maquis | that's good |
| 05:58.25 | maquis | mine are 6 and 3, so I still have a bit before I have to worry about that |
| 05:59.52 | RyanE | my youngest is a 12yo scout at Klondike Derby tonight. |
| 06:02.41 | RyanE | I take it back. Its' just winter scout camp. |
| 06:02.42 | RyanE | :) |
| 06:02.48 | maquis | :) |
| 06:29.36 | maquis | ha. wifi working! |
| 06:30.06 | maquis | now maybe i can get it to start on its own at boot :) |
