[12:59] ketrox: also, for the time being you might want to kill gdm and start x from the console [12:59] edmash i tried this too [12:59] but it is still the same thing [12:59] ketrox: the proper way to do that is to F1 to switch to the text console [01:00] login, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [01:00] so what do i do? [01:00] then you can start x11 with startx [01:00] i did exactly that edmash still the same [01:01] right [01:01] but now can you put the errors into a pastebin so I can see them?

[07:13] i didnt wordd that well [07:14] Chikubu: so having the same IP address point to two machines? [07:14] or even just have it point to two adapters? [07:14] thats what i dont understand [07:14] yeah... i'm not sure i understand by reading your description. [07:15] the access point you connect straight to wired router (acting as hub here) or right into lan card to configure via webbrowser, i assigned the acces point a static ip [07:16] so you bring in a pc with a wireless adapter, it communicates with the access point, using the static ip of the access point i assume [07:16] doesnt seem like it leaves much room for another pc with wireless adapter to come in and use that one ip [07:17] unless the access point is doing something i dont understand yet [07:19] i guess i dont understand how the gateway works completly yet, ill read === insmod [n=insmod@d141-13-36.home.cgocable.net] has joined #xubuntu === AlexTheGreat [n=ajriddle@CPE-75-81-121-242.kc.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu [07:46] hello [07:49] hi [07:50] and bye everyone === jrsims [n=jrsims@c-24-7-153-83.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [08:02] weird. when I go to use lynx and open google.com, suddenly a gui text editor opens with the page contents of google.com.

Sometimes things get messy. But basically they should stay. That is the idea of upgrading. [12:04] MaxFrames, depending on what way of upgrading you chose, the application might ask if it should keep the configuration for an application or use the new one provided with the package. [12:04] A little trick i figured [12:04] backup all your hidden files/folders in /home/ [12:04] heh [12:05] I reformatted and put them back in. Didnt even need to sign-in to forums [12:05] panels and everything was just like how i had it [12:07] i guess there is no way to pause the upgrade process and put the PC into standby? It will take another 1:45 hours and I have to leave in 2 hours [12:07] and i will come back only thursday [12:10] MaxFrames, it might be possible if it is still downloading packages, not instlaling yet. [12:11] it's already installing big time :P [12:11] MaxFrames, if so, it should pick up from where it left next time. Because apt caches downloaded packages. so they must not be downloaded again.

[01:44] yes [01:45] hm then it shouldnt be intrusive or anything [01:45] eh I mean harmful [01:45] hm in /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird is an option for enabling debugging, you could try that. [01:46] maybe it's just for the script though [01:47] how do i enable it? [01:49] gksudo mousepad /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird then look for the line "set -x" and remove the # infront to enable it. add the # later again. [01:49] but I fear that is just for debugging the script that launches the thunderbird binary [01:50] you can still try to reinstall thunderbird.
