[08:35] <Puck`> hi everyone (:
[08:48] <steevB> hola
[09:24] <Booya2332> ok i suppose im a beginner
[09:24] <Booya2332> cause i dont have a clue what the people in the main channel are talking abt
[09:25] <Booya2332> I logged on to Ubuntu 10.04 afet a long time
[09:25] <Booya2332> and decided to upgrade to 12.04
[09:26] <Booya2332> I cant seem to find the update on the update manager
[09:26] <Booya2332> so I downloaded the ISO onto Ubuntu 10.04
[09:26] <Booya2332> can I extract it from there
[09:26] <Booya2332> ?
[09:26] <Puck`> nope
[09:26] <Booya2332> ok so what are my option
[09:27] <Booya2332> since i spent 30 mins downloading the 700MB file
[09:27] <Puck`> open Update Manager and click on reload, I think that option is still there
[09:27] <Booya2332> Puck : i havent used 10.04 for a while
[09:27] <Booya2332> Im assuming they are giving me older updates firs
[09:28] <Booya2332> So can i got to windows and extraxt it t here?

[16:23] <yeehi> hello bodhi_zazen ! How are you? Do you have a bit of time now?
[18:52] <vinnie_> hi folks
[18:55] <vinnie_> Does anyone have an opinion on how safe it is to leave an old PC on 24/7 as a server?
[19:06] <SkippersBoss> Safe in what way ??
[19:08] <vinnie_> well am bit of a nueb, but i've managed to get zoneminder workin -its a cctv programme, and if i head off for a week and leave it running i'd be worried about the PC overheating -perhaps catching fire? etc
[19:10] <SkippersBoss> i do not now what the power output of the machine is. but I and I am sure a lot of users here have had their machines up and running for quite a while
[19:13] <vinnie_> thanks for that , and i'll do more research on power output, and the fans ect, - but generally do you think alot of folks here would leave a 'standard' enough machine running for long periods...
[19:13] <SkippersBoss> i have in the past
[19:16] <SkippersBoss> some people run mail servers/ or file servers... usually discarded machines just just for a specific purpose. I would clean (remove dust) the inside of the machine. Spent time on the fans and ribs on the processor. If after that the machine doesn't mae any specipic noises / have a nice holiday :-)
[19:18] <vinnie_> ok, cool - yeh its a noisy machine alright! Thanks for that!
