| 12:44.02 | AlexAnteMachina | lol |
| 12:44.15 | AlexAnteMachina | some thousand miles between. |
| 12:44.20 | she_dyed | heh |
| 12:44.46 | she_dyed | i was trying out the e17 theme cerium |
| 12:44.52 | she_dyed | its pretty slick |
| 12:44.57 | AlexAnteMachina | cerium? |
| 12:45.03 | AlexAnteMachina | what's a cerium? |
| 12:45.11 | she_dyed | yes, off the exchange/community page |
| 12:45.24 | she_dyed | by Toma who seems to hit perfection everytime |
| 12:45.58 | she_dyed | cerium is a silvery theme for e17 |
| 12:46.05 | she_dyed | veeeerrrry nice |
| 12:50.10 | AlexAnteMachina | ah! |
| 12:50.23 | AlexAnteMachina | where is it available? |
| 12:50.39 | she_dyed | 1 sec |
| 12:51.12 | she_dyed | http://exchange.enlightenment.org |
| 12:51.25 | she_dyed | in the showcase under simply white |
| 12:54.21 | AlexAnteMachina | it's nice. |
| 12:54.37 | AlexAnteMachina | but it's hiding the dock now. |
| 12:54.57 | she_dyed | but when you mouseover the tooltips show? |
| 12:55.03 | she_dyed | where the dock used to be |
| 12:55.03 | AlexAnteMachina | yes |
| 12:55.07 | she_dyed | hmmmm |
| 12:55.45 | AlexAnteMachina | this theme is really beautyful |
| 12:55.58 | she_dyed | i was going to try, shelf settings |
| 12:55.59 | AlexAnteMachina | except its background. |
| 12:56.05 | she_dyed | 'on top of everything' |
| 12:56.11 | she_dyed | maybe it will redisplay |
| 12:56.41 | AlexAnteMachina | I'll try to relogin. |

| 13:02.56 | AlexAnteMachina | the theme is really nice. |
| 13:03.20 | AlexAnteMachina | but one should tell the developer about its problems. |
| 13:04.32 | she_dyed | wait is it still invisible dock |
| 13:05.34 | AlexAnteMachina | yes. |
| 13:05.53 | *** part/#elive ma_tex (n=mateusz@88-199-25-130.tktelekom.pl) |
| 13:06.15 | AlexAnteMachina | and the shutdown, reboot... etc Menue is a pain. |
| 13:06.36 | she_dyed | i remember, no text nor tooltip |
| 13:08.59 | she_dyed | no wonder it took you awhile |
| 13:09.12 | she_dyed | after you said, ...will relogin |
| 13:09.24 | she_dyed | did you click on something else by accident |
| 13:10.25 | she_dyed | did you see THana's new SPecial Thanks page, its there on http://elivecd.org |
| 13:11.02 | AlexAnteMachina | ive seen that page, yes. |
| 13:11.22 | AlexAnteMachina | well, the menue made me klick on some hibernation/sleepmode thing. |
| 13:11.34 | AlexAnteMachina | which did not work properly. |
| 13:11.55 | AlexAnteMachina | so finally I had to hardreset the whole system. |
| 13:12.43 | she_dyed | i have always been anti-tutti frutti icons and candy color Fisher Price icons |
| 13:12.54 | she_dyed | that hardly show what they mean |
| 13:13.13 | AlexAnteMachina | yup. |
| 13:14.15 | AlexAnteMachina | the whole theme is gray but tose Icons look like kindergarten group-symbols. |
| 13:14.17 | AlexAnteMachina | ;) |
| 13:15.22 | she_dyed | you only see that menu for a short while so whats wrong with plain text or something |
| 13:16.23 | AlexAnteMachina | how about asking the its developer? |
| 13:16.30 | she_dyed | i will |
| 13:17.27 | AlexAnteMachina | nice! |
| 13:17.34 | AlexAnteMachina | your english is better than mine. |
| 13:19.38 | she_dyed | wait on the about page |
| 13:19.48 | AlexAnteMachina | y? |
| 13:20.00 | she_dyed | he has recommendations 'Use Bling' |
| 13:20.15 | she_dyed | maybe it will correct some, i will try later when I reboot |
| 13:20.37 | she_dyed | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:21.26 | AlexAnteMachina | he's talking about compiz,too. |

| 13:28.56 | AlexAnteMachina | she_dyed, what's lost? |
| 13:29.01 | she_dyed | hey there |
| 13:29.23 | she_dyed | 'all is lost' is an expression that means something like 'i give up' |
| 13:29.41 | AlexAnteMachina | k |
| 13:29.42 | she_dyed | i was hoping the theme would stay pure |
| 13:29.54 | mnzt42yd | hmmmm lol looks like im not the only one like that then |
| 13:29.55 | she_dyed | and clean as a demo of e17 |
| 13:30.12 | she_dyed | hey mnzt42yd we were just checking out a theme |
| 13:30.16 | she_dyed | called cerium |
| 13:30.17 | AlexAnteMachina | well, you could tell that guy about your struggle. |
| 13:30.43 | she_dyed | yes maybe he can have one version for it |
| 13:30.53 | she_dyed | another for them unwashed masses |
| 13:31.03 | AlexAnteMachina | maybe he's got a heart for Elive. |
| 13:31.09 | mnzt42yd | hmmm i must admitg i had tried a few themes ... but cant say iv seen the one your talking about |
| 13:31.25 | she_dyed | its on exchange, take er for a spin |
| 13:31.47 | she_dyed | http://exchange.enlightenment.org |
| 13:31.51 | mnzt42yd | might if i c lolan get my problem sorted out first |
| 13:32.01 | she_dyed | ah ok |
| 13:32.35 | AlexAnteMachina | she_dyed, that guy's right. When using BlingModule and setting background to 255 255 255 128 it's got nice transparency. |
| 13:32.57 | she_dyed | what happens to cock? |
| 13:33.02 | she_dyed | sorry dock! |
| 13:33.06 | AlexAnteMachina | lol |

| 13:33.24 | she_dyed | quack quack |
| 13:33.25 | AlexAnteMachina | Dios mio! |
| 13:33.42 | she_dyed | the bar-cursor had to be right there |
| 13:33.50 | she_dyed | lol |
| 13:34.05 | she_dyed | sounds like one of them lame gamers excuse |
| 13:34.20 | AlexAnteMachina | seems like there is some weird problem with itaskNG |
| 13:34.34 | AlexAnteMachina | by default, e17 uses it's own dock. |
| 13:34.45 | mnzt42yd | hmmm had a look at that theme ... (on exchange looks very clean (Y) |
| 13:35.03 | she_dyed | did your ibar reappear AlexAnteMachina? |
| 13:35.19 | she_dyed | or had nothing to do with bling |
| 13:36.05 | she_dyed | hey good news! i was able to 'shade' gkrellm |
| 13:36.14 | AlexAnteMachina | it seems like it's ibar again, yes. |
| 13:36.31 | she_dyed | via commands, almost like enlightenment_remote |
| 13:36.34 | AlexAnteMachina | its invisible, but the way the tooltips are moving looks like ibar. |
| 13:36.56 | she_dyed | like its there huh but TRANSPARENT=MAX |
| 13:36.58 | she_dyed | lol |
| 13:37.19 | mnzt42yd | ok someone care to help with a serious problem ... |
| 13:37.28 | she_dyed | share it anyway |
| 13:37.37 | she_dyed | unless it needs a doctor |
| 13:37.43 | mnzt42yd | roflmao |
| 13:38.28 | she_dyed | wait are you n00b, intermediate, advanced, l33t? |
| 13:38.46 | she_dyed | oops left out cliche |
| 13:38.50 | mnzt42yd | def noob |
| 13:39.00 | mnzt42yd | and proud of it tow lol |
| 13:39.05 | mnzt42yd | two |
| 13:39.06 | she_dyed | but played around with e, nah interm |
| 13:39.38 | she_dyed | n00b would go what is this 'e' you speak of |
| 13:40.22 | mnzt42yd | ok system starts to laod as normal ... get to flashing blue line ( i asume scanning for network) just sits there for a few mins and system dies wont go any further) |
| 13:40.50 | she_dyed | oh hit escape to view text |
| 13:40.59 | mnzt42yd | ok |
| 13:41.02 | she_dyed | so you can see where it would hang or freeze |
| 13:41.12 | mnzt42yd | ty ... |
| 13:41.25 | she_dyed | in fact, on the boot/splash screen before yo make a choice |
| 13:41.38 | she_dyed | you can replace 'silent' or quiet with 'verbose' no quotes |
| 13:42.01 | she_dyed | so intead of seeing that blue you will see diagnostic text |
| 13:42.43 | mnzt42yd | ah see a whole pile of fails |
| 13:42.56 | she_dyed | is it new hardware? |
| 13:43.09 | she_dyed | bleeding edge or...'living on the edge' |
| 13:43.12 | mnzt42yd | naw system was working perfectly |
| 13:43.26 | mnzt42yd | but daughter was playing with it |
| 13:43.37 | mnzt42yd | i told her to be carefull |

| 14:15.09 | mnzt42yd | baisically i dont mind wiping the system later complete fresh reinstall |
| 14:15.18 | she_dyed | <PROTECTED> |
| 14:15.52 | mnzt42yd | however iv a few tel numbers and we addys stored in notepad i need them .... |
| 14:15.57 | she_dyed | i got that |
| 14:16.08 | she_dyed | the install might zap root |
| 14:16.15 | she_dyed | and bye bye numbers |
| 14:16.21 | mnzt42yd | :)))))))) |
| 14:16.32 | mnzt42yd | i figured that one |
| 14:16.38 | she_dyed | <PROTECTED> |
| 14:16.42 | mnzt42yd | im trying to avoid it if possible |
| 14:17.42 | mnzt42yd | or im looking start entrance start/stop/restart |

| 14:24.09 | she_dyed | <PROTECTED> |
| 14:24.24 | she_dyed | pushing the up arrow will recall the commands you typed in |
| 14:25.04 | mnzt42yd | ok back to terninal prompt |
| 14:25.10 | she_dyed | pushing the up arrow will recall the commands you typed in |
| 14:25.20 | mnzt42yd | cp . /home ? |
| 14:25.43 | she_dyed | does ls list /root's files> |
| 14:25.44 | she_dyed | ? |
| 14:25.50 | mnzt42yd | yes |
| 14:26.21 | mnzt42yd | ok cp /root/. /home |
| 14:26.24 | mnzt42yd | ? |
| 14:26.34 | she_dyed | ok |
| 14:26.46 | mnzt42yd | is that right or is it just specific files |
| 14:27.04 | she_dyed | i was thinking you only needed a few |
| 14:27.31 | she_dyed | your call |
| 14:27.42 | she_dyed | i say only the text ones |
| 14:27.46 | she_dyed | ditch the rest |
| 14:27.53 | mnzt42yd | am .... if this was microshaft np but as i say noob in linux terms |
| 14:28.09 | she_dyed | do you have a username there in /home |
| 14:28.24 | she_dyed | i'd put it there |
| 14:29.43 | mnzt42yd | so cp /root/. /home/<username> |
| 14:30.14 | mnzt42yd | im just trying to idiot proof myself here lol |
| 14:31.11 | she_dyed | i use * not ., somebody told you to use '.'? |
| 14:31.48 | she_dyed | better unlearn that fast |
| 14:32.14 | she_dyed | imo |
| 14:33.39 | mnzt42yd | yea i know what you mean im still thinking in M$ terms but i know what your saying |
| 14:34.11 | mnzt42yd | said couldent copy a few directory but done |
| 14:34.55 | she_dyed | were you nesting your critical stuff, like subfolders and sh** |
| 14:35.02 | she_dyed | a heirarchy |
| 14:35.03 | she_dyed | ? |
| 14:35.43 | mnzt42yd | nothing criticxal on this machine except what was in notepad |
| 14:36.04 | she_dyed | can you verify that those files are in /home/user |
| 14:36.20 | she_dyed | because you're now about to begin the reinstall |
| 14:37.35 | she_dyed | its at this point where install YES or NOT YET is about to be decided |
| 14:37.50 | mnzt42yd | roflmao ..np |
| 14:37.55 | she_dyed | and we issue the customary disclaimers |
| 14:38.28 | mnzt42yd | <------ it was him he made me do it |
| 14:38.37 | she_dyed | so if I asked, hey mnzt42yd you have so n so's phone number |
| 14:38.53 | she_dyed | you can say, think i'm a complete n00b? |
| 14:39.17 | she_dyed | 'its right here in /home/user' |
| 14:39.18 | mnzt42yd | naw my friend i KNOW i AM whats your excuse |
| 14:39.25 | mnzt42yd | ? |
| 14:39.41 | she_dyed | i found myself on this channel i thought was the suicide hotline |
| 14:39.59 | mnzt42yd | roflmao |
| 14:40.17 | she_dyed | turned out to be some sort of tech help desk |
| 14:40.23 | she_dyed | ok guy |
| 14:40.34 | she_dyed | remember when its partitioning time in the install |
| 14:40.46 | she_dyed | format /home is to be unchecked |
| 14:41.06 | she_dyed | you know which partition its in? |
| 14:41.12 | she_dyed | do a df -h on the command line |
| 14:41.50 | mnzt42yd | think its hda1 |
| 14:41.52 | she_dyed | this is the 'logical' location on the drive |
| 14:42.17 | she_dyed | hda1 we usually save for / and root and system |
| 14:42.32 | she_dyed | did you just use one MASSIVE partition? |
| 14:42.35 | mnzt42yd | i didnt create a seperate home partition |
| 14:42.38 | mnzt42yd | yep |
| 14:42.40 | she_dyed | uh oh |
| 14:42.52 | mnzt42yd | again maby inexperience |
| 14:43.01 | mnzt42yd | (on my part) |
| 14:43.03 | she_dyed | if you cant wait for that usb, i'd say burn a CD |
| 14:43.14 | she_dyed | got some blank ones to save the data? |
| 14:44.10 | she_dyed | hey isnt this networked to some other PC |
| 14:44.28 | she_dyed | are you on a laptop that can 'see' the troubled PC? |
| 14:45.01 | mnzt42yd | naw im on friends machine at min win7 |
| 14:45.23 | mnzt42yd | other box with enlightenment wont start |
| 14:45.35 | she_dyed | k |
| 14:45.50 | mnzt42yd | but are both in same place |
| 14:46.21 | she_dyed | but its not linux on that, its win7 that pretends not to knowof other OSes |
| 14:46.46 | mnzt42yd | my friend i hear you |
| 14:47.52 | she_dyed | would you be able to burn a CD with /home in it |
| 14:49.08 | mnzt42yd | im just about to burn another cxd on this machine ill load it on other box |

| 15:14.14 | mnzt42yd | ok whats easiest way to mount hard drive on this system ? iv tried mounting it in gparted on /mnt/sda1 but no joy |
| 15:15.10 | she_dyed | the mount command |
| 15:15.23 | she_dyed | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hda1 |
| 15:16.21 | she_dyed | but if you're going to partition it...maybe thats why gparted was reluctant |
| 15:20.24 | mnzt42yd | hmmmmm says same as gparted message cant mount .... also mentiones something about possible bad superblock |
| 15:20.27 | mnzt42yd | ? |
| 15:20.59 | she_dyed | ok what are trying to do |
| 15:21.53 | mnzt42yd | ok im trying to load the hdd into live cd so can read it |
| 15:22.11 | she_dyed | backup |
| 15:22.27 | she_dyed | so you booted to a liveCD |
| 15:22.29 | she_dyed | ? |
| 15:22.32 | mnzt42yd | yep |
| 15:22.43 | mnzt42yd | as i said was downloading |
| 15:22.57 | she_dyed | what makes you think it hadnt mounted |
| 15:23.10 | she_dyed | df -h shows nothing? |
| 15:23.11 | mnzt42yd | couldnt read the directories |
| 15:24.13 | mnzt42yd | i can read the directories on the live cd but not the actual disk itsel |
| 15:24.24 | mnzt42yd | itself* |
| 15:24.38 | she_dyed | are you on teh GUI desktop |
| 15:24.44 | mnzt42yd | yep |
| 15:24.55 | she_dyed | so now its a live CD you're running |
| 15:25.03 | she_dyed | alt-esc |
| 15:25.13 | she_dyed | urxvt on the run command |
| 15:26.01 | she_dyed | got the terminal going? |
| 15:26.03 | mnzt42yd | yep |
| 15:26.12 | she_dyed | dmesg | grep sd |
| 15:26.30 | she_dyed | will show the messages with the sd drives detected (aka hd) |
| 15:26.52 | mnzt42yd | ok |
| 15:26.57 | mnzt42yd | i see that |
| 15:26.58 | she_dyed | so you have what, sda1 |
| 15:27.02 | she_dyed | thats it? |
| 15:27.03 | mnzt42yd | yes |
| 15:27.11 | mnzt42yd | correct |
| 15:27.19 | she_dyed | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/<TAB> |

| 15:28.14 | she_dyed | with the dash and you will be root |
| 15:28.18 | she_dyed | from that point on |
| 15:28.42 | she_dyed | does tab give you anything |
| 15:28.52 | mnzt42yd | nope |
| 15:29.05 | she_dyed | ok mkdir /mnt/sda1 |
| 15:29.26 | she_dyed | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/<TAB> |
| 15:29.39 | she_dyed | should give you sda1 and you can hit enter |
| 15:29.42 | mnzt42yd | thast what im telling you i already see that dir in the gui but no file structure ie. directories in it |
| 15:29.44 | she_dyed | so its mounted |
| 15:30.03 | mnzt42yd | or files |
| 15:30.33 | she_dyed | mount it on the command line |
| 15:31.05 | she_dyed | the dir will always always be there, without mounting anything you wont see anything |
| 15:31.15 | mnzt42yd | ahhhh :) |
| 15:31.24 | she_dyed | i can mkdir /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda3 all of them to /mnt/sda99 |
| 15:31.38 | she_dyed | but without associating a drive, nothing will magically appear |
| 15:32.00 | she_dyed | you have to MOUNT the f*g drive |
| 15:32.10 | she_dyed | pardon the french |
| 15:32.14 | mnzt42yd | lol |
| 15:32.26 | she_dyed | and then refresh the display |
| 15:32.38 | she_dyed | you should be able to drill down then |
| 15:37.22 | mnzt42yd | ok says wrong file type bad option bad superblock on dev/sda1 missing codepage or helper program or other error try dmesg | tail ... which gives lees info |
| 15:38.53 | she_dyed | this came out after you tried what |
| 15:39.32 | mnzt42yd | mounting it at terminal command prompt ( same as message that was in gui) |
| 15:40.25 | mnzt42yd | bad superblock would indicate bad sector ? |
| 15:41.08 | *** join/#elive Elive_user26_es (n=Elive_us@81.203.32.204.dyn.user.ono.com) |
| 15:41.15 | she_dyed | not sure but it could be one of the other issues |
| 15:41.37 | she_dyed | is it a newish drive |
| 15:41.51 | mnzt42yd | same age as lappy |
| 15:41.55 | mnzt42yd | oroginal |
| 15:42.01 | mnzt42yd | original* orry |
| 15:42.26 | she_dyed | have you made a backup yet |
| 15:43.19 | mnzt42yd | of what i cant access the drive todo lol |
| 15:43.21 | she_dyed | whats the command you used to mount, what did you type sometimes a typo can result in errors |
| 15:45.10 | mnzt42yd | ok typed in su first then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 |
| 15:48.54 | she_dyed | ok here's the short of it |
| 15:49.04 | mnzt42yd | im stupid |
| 15:49.06 | mnzt42yd | lol |
| 15:49.20 | she_dyed | booted off the live CD but its blind and cant see existing drives |
| 15:49.26 | she_dyed | (feel free to counter) |
| 15:49.28 | mnzt42yd | yep |
| 15:49.47 | she_dyed | you can reboot to existing OS partially hosed but CAN see some drives like /home/user |
| 15:49.56 | mnzt42yd | yep |
| 15:50.31 | she_dyed | i say, run gparted on old OS |
| 15:50.49 | she_dyed | split it there, separate home so its sage |
| 15:50.51 | she_dyed | safe* |
| 15:51.20 | she_dyed | over there, you MIGHT have a shot to 'fix' bad superblock error |
| 15:51.46 | she_dyed | but at least we might be able to move or copy home |
| 15:52.06 | she_dyed | the quickest way would be to get a $5 stick at the pharmacy |
| 15:52.16 | she_dyed | and copy those files NOT entire /home |
| 15:52.19 | she_dyed | and reinstall |
| 15:52.30 | she_dyed | or install the newest dev |
| 15:53.06 | mnzt42yd | hmmmmmmm well thansk anyway for your time its appreciated |
| 15:53.11 | she_dyed | ok |
| 15:53.18 | she_dyed | just tell us how it worked out |
| 15:53.20 | she_dyed | later |
| 15:53.36 | mnzt42yd | left hand right shoulder of the top of my head lol |
| 15:53.47 | she_dyed | IF the vista can burn a CD, theres Parted Magic liveCD |
| 15:54.34 | she_dyed | but you may want to see how far the OLD os can retrieve stuff |
| 15:54.55 | she_dyed | or partition it |
| 15:55.18 | she_dyed | but jey i'll be lurking here |
| 15:55.24 | mnzt42yd | np as i sadid thanks for YOUR time intrying to help me its appreciated very much and i appoligise for interupting anything you were at your a good person |
| 15:55.47 | she_dyed | hey np here too |
