If it hasn't, maybe it should. It's strange tho, I have good luck with |
10 |
a lot of things, even computer hardware really, but messing with some |
11 |
new software generally leads to trouble. Hal was the first really bad |
12 |
thing. There was some other thing that popped up that I can't recall |
13 |
and recently the init thingy kept me from booting. I then booted the |
14 |
init thingy off here. I just keep a up to date Kubuntu disk laying |
15 |
around. ;-) New software just doesn't like me or my rig much. Older |
16 |
stuff seems to work fine. It's the things that seem to be new that |
17 |
really crawl under my skin. It seems they always bite me even when it |
18 |
works for most everyone else. That was pretty much the case with hal. |

It just would not work on my rig. I give the dev credit tho, he |
20 |
realized it was a mess and started over from scratch. At least he |
21 |
realized the boo boo. |

On this old drive. I got my data copied over and tested the stuffin out |
24 |
of the new drive and then tested it a few more times. Looks good for |
25 |
the new drive. I'm doing a dd on the old drive now and I plan to let it |
26 |
at least get to where that bad spot is. I figure if I let dd do its |
27 |
thing on the whole drive, that should get it, unless I lose power or |
28 |
something and have to stop it. After that, I'm going to put a file |
29 |
system on it and fill it up and test it and see what it says then. |
30 |
Maybe it will fix itself and I can at least use it as a occasional |
31 |
backup or something. I dunno. |

|
33 |
I noticed when I copied the data over that some files had a line of |
34 |
question marks in the name. Since a question mark is a wild card, I |
35 |
can't find them now. How does one search for a file name that has a |
36 |
wild card in it? |
