| 16:02.14 | jsmith | plarsen: You alive? |
| 16:02.28 | jsmith | plarsen: If so, ping me (or if I don't respond, call me!) |
| 16:02.49 | plarsen | jsmith: ping :)\ |
| 16:02.54 | jsmith | Ah, you are alive |
| 16:03.04 | plarsen | jsmith: hard to call when you don't have a number ;) |
| 16:03.10 | jsmith | I was wondering if you were going to be around tonight, if I can pick up some laptop parts |
| 16:03.16 | plarsen | I'm moving to a new laptop ... |
| 16:03.21 | jsmith | I was in the middle of messaging you my number |
| 16:03.27 | plarsen | I'll be in culpeper after 8pm |
| 16:03.42 | plarsen | I was planning to work from home today - but that didn't happen |
| 16:03.56 | jsmith | OK... my local church had a laptop get fried in the thunderstorms, so I'm hoping to cobble something back together |
| 16:04.20 | plarsen | Sure - give me a call. But I won't be able to get home before 8pm |
| 16:04.23 | jsmith | It's an older-model D510, so it should be fairly close to the laptops you had parts for |
| 16:04.31 | plarsen | After that, I have all the latitude parts in my trunk |
| 16:04.42 | jsmith | That's fine... I probably won't get out to culpeper until 8 or later anyway |
| 16:04.43 | plarsen | Most likely the internal power supply |
| 16:04.50 | jsmith | Right... |
| 16:04.52 | plarsen | jsmith: do you have my cell? |
| 16:05.40 | jsmith | I do now :-) |
| 16:05.54 | plarsen | hehe |
| 16:07.32 | plarsen | Funny - I tired to get rid of the last 4 at Novalug this weekend - but they didn't want to take the chance of looking cause they knew they would get some ;) |
| 16:07.42 | plarsen | too much to do for all of us :( |
| 16:08.27 | plarsen | stickster: Have you seen if there's a fix for the F11 vmware bug? |
| 16:08.46 | stickster | Is this a bug in VMWare, or in F11? |
| 16:09.16 | plarsen | hehe - I knew you would ask |
| 16:09.44 | plarsen | Depending on who you ask ... there's been done some kernel changes, so some of the symbols that vmware depend on aren't there anymore |
| 16:09.51 | plarsen | Lets start the blame game :) |
| 16:10.27 | plarsen | I've seen reports on the problem - but nothing at vmware that talks about fixing it - and strangely enough nothing on the fedora11 kernel (other distros too) that talks about fixing it either |
| 16:10.49 | plarsen | Ohhh - I think I found a f11 install bug. |
| 16:10.59 | plarsen | Kick me if I forget, but I'll try to file the bug this weekend |
| 16:11.31 | plarsen | Try to run the installer on an existing system with an LVM group with two physical devices associated with it ... it goes ARGGH and crashes |
| 16:12.04 | plarsen | And somehow the installer doesn't allow you to add new physical volumes to existing volume groups |
| 16:12.10 | plarsen | That may be a feature - not a bug ;) |
| 16:14.35 | jsmith | No, it sounds like a bug |
| 16:14.43 | stickster | It does sound like a bug. |
| 16:15.02 | stickster | The vmware thing is vmware's problem, there's no blame game to be had :-) |
| 16:15.08 | jsmith | wishes he had the bandwidth to download F11 |
| 16:15.35 | jsmith | plarsen: Any chance you could burn me an F11 DVD before I show up tonight? I'd be happy to pay you for the media or bring you some blanks... |
| 16:18.53 | plarsen | I have the ISO with me, not sure I can find a blank DVD here at work |
| 16:18.59 | plarsen | I'll give it a try jsmith |
| 16:20.11 | jsmith | plarsen: Worse comes to worse, I'll bring an ethernet cross-over and copy the ISO directly |
| 16:21.59 | plarsen | heh - you're gonna kill me. My new laptop's core OS is still windows. I'm fighting to get a F11 vm up but alas there's a big compile issue I'm searching for a resolution on. But I'm willing to give it a try. I have usb drives I can use instead if worse comes to worse. |
| 16:22.42 | plarsen | I'll prolly do cross-over office and have MS Outlook running once I get that problem solved (getting rid of the big virus!). |
| 16:23.17 | plarsen | Evolution and Thunderbird simply aren't good enough for "prime time". I'm tired of loosing mail and very very slow processing. |
| 16:24.37 | plarsen | Does anyone know who this is?? |
| 16:24.38 | plarsen | red.sonja.m31@gmail.com <red.sonja.m31@gmail.com> requested to join the |
| 16:24.40 | plarsen | FredLUG group and is awaiting approval. |
| 16:31.29 | jsmith | No idea |
| 16:53.05 | plarsen | ok, lunch time |
