[11:41] <H264> ay
[11:43] <nalioth> hi
[11:43] <nalioth> have you restarted the afflicted machine?
[11:43] <H264> no, I thought it might be recoverable...
[11:43] <H264> not that it matters I guess
[11:43] <nalioth> let's restart and see what we get
[11:44] <H264> heh, I would guess it would be fine... :)
[11:44] <H264> umm, the two computers a ~80 feet apart from eachother
[11:44] <H264> in different buildings
[11:44] <nalioth> oh
[11:44] <nalioth> no ssh access?
[11:44] <H264> and everybody is asleep
[11:45] <nalioth> !xcfg
[11:45] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[11:45] <H264> can I by default?
[11:45] <nalioth> H264: write this down:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:45] <nalioth> if restarting the machine doesn't fix it, use that command at a console
[11:45] <nalioth> choose the "VESA" driver
[11:46] <H264> hmm, ok
?
[11:46] <nalioth> you can choose the default answers until you get to the driver option
[11:46] <H264> tired? of ppl like me asking dumb questions?
[11:47] <nalioth> why would i be?

[11:47] <nalioth> i'm tired of people changing the factoids on me
[11:48] <nalioth> i made the !xcfg factoid to show you the above command with a short explanation of how to use it
[11:48] <H264> oh, the bot responce?
[11:48] <nalioth> and somebody changed it
[11:48] <H264> I see
[11:49] <H264> well, I'm off on the yellow brick road
[11:49] <nalioth> enjoy
[11:49] <H264> brb
[12:06] <H264> still there?
[12:07] <nalioth> i am
[12:07] <H264> ok, I am logged in on the other computer as X704
[12:07] <H264> will join this room soon :)
[12:08] <nalioth> :)
[12:10] <X704> Hi
[12:10] <nalioth> howdy
[12:10] <X704> now, what do you suppose the problem was again?
[12:10] <X704> I have installed Kubuntu Saturday, and no problems
[12:10] <nalioth> is it working now?
[12:11] <X704> seems to be, but I have not ran any programs other than this IRC program yet
[12:11] <nalioth> is it a gui irc program?
[12:12] <X704> yeah, came with Ubuntu
[12:12] <nalioth> then it sounds as if it was just an upgrade glitch
[12:13] <X704> hmm
[12:13] <X704> verry well...
[12:13] <X704> one more question...
[12:14] <nalioth> of course
[12:14] <X704> I have this older computer (AMD K6-2 475Herz)...
[12:14] <X704> with 128 MB ram...
[12:14] <X704> and I installed Xubuntu on it
[12:15] <X704> with the same wireless network card in it as this computer
[12:15] <X704> but the other Xubuntu install won't work with it
[12:16] <X704> on the other computer
[12:16] <nalioth> !wireless
[12:16] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:16] <X704> any idea?
[12:17] <X704> I was wondering why the other Ubuntu installs worked with it by default and Xubuntu won't
[12:18] <nalioth> can you install ubuntu on it, and just run xubuntu after the install?
[12:18] <X704> that's all :)
[12:18] <X704> umm, maybe
[12:19] <X704> it has an eathernet card in it that works quite well...
[12:20] <X704> I'll just do something that way
[12:20] <X704> I guess
[12:20] <X704> I gave away 3 CD's of Ubuntu :)
[12:21] <nalioth> excellent  :)
[12:21] <X704> today and yesterday
[12:22] <X704> that's what I thought when I put in the live CD and everything worked
[12:22] <X704> heh, I was ready for the worst from Linux
[12:23] <X704> anyway
[12:23] <X704> thanks for being around for the late nighters
[12:24] <X704> (like 2 or 3 AM here)
[12:24] <nalioth> it's 5:24 here
[12:24] <nalioth> i've been insomniac lately
[12:24] <X704> heh
[12:25] <X704> what's the difference between Ubuntu and EDUbuntu?
[12:25] <X704> more programming tools?
[12:25] <nalioth> you would ask that...
[12:26] <nalioth> visit www.newsforge.com    there is an article on it on the front page
