Re: OT: Flat Swap Vienna - London
The suburbs aren't that scary. Most of zone 3 is but a short hop
from interesting places. And indeed, there are interesting places
out in the wilds too!

Hi!
My family (me, girlfriend and my younger son (13)) are currently thinking
of spending two to three weeks in London this summer. But instead of
staying in a hotel, we'd like to find somebody who wants to swap
appartments with us.
We live (with a cat!) in a sunny apparment in a nice and central area of
Vienna, Austria, very near to the Riesenrad / Prater. We're looking for an
appartment / flat / whatever in London, prefering a central-ish location to
something in the suburbs, for three people (it would be ok for me if my son
has
to sleep on some sofa :-)
So if you want to spend a few weeks in Vienna somewhen between ~14th July and
~20th August, or know somebody who might, (or need someone reliable to water
your plants and/or feed your cat while you're neither in London nor Vienna)
please send me an email!
Thanks,
domm

One off job helping with Linux partition
Hi all, I am a latent perl programmer (was NY.pm in the day, YAPC 19100, etc) - it's been a few, um 5 or 6, years since i have coded regularly - and I've just tried installing Ubuntu on my windows 8 machine with no success - had no cd drive and it complained and then won't let me boot in - but, hopefully I have not lost my files - I did a back up first... Anyway, unless i can find an easy answer and fix myself, I would pay a reasonable price for in person help recovering my data and getting two partitions in place, win 8 and either Ubuntu, Debian, or some other flavour of Linux ... Asking here because I trust perl mongers, and would rather have help from a perl programmer who could get me in shape to resume programming on Linux and teach me while helping... Any takers? I'm thinking range of 50-100 quid depending how long it takes... Thanks all! Guinevere -- http://economicliberty.net/

If you’ve got a backup, how did you take it? Assuming everything you require is in that backup, I think you should be able to sort this out yourself without too much hassle. So the questions: - How many partitions are currently on that disk? - Are any of them bootable at all? - How did you attempt the installation? USB key? - Which image did you download and how did you write that to whatever installation medium? - Do you have a CD drive? - Does the backup have all of the files you need? James
Re: One off job helping with Linux partition
Thanks James! You deserve a pint! I do not have a cd drive. I installed from a USB, it allowed me to partition and then gave me the error during install. Then, after I tried again using net install, and got same error, it suddenly would not let me boot into windows or Linux, it just goes to the bios boot screen. Using a bootable windows 8 I can get to troubleshooting options, but I am very nervous about losing critical files, so I have not tried to reinstall windows - my backed up data is giving me permissions errors when I try to access from another computer... I took the backup using Macrium software. There are now a few partitions - windows plus 3 Linux partitions I created. I believe the backup has all the files tho I have not been able to confirm, given the permissions errors. Hopefully I have answered all your questions - thanks so much!!
