| harlemtech | I wanted to put beryl on my feisty fawn, and it instructed me to go to restricted manager but it wont open | 12:26 |
| harlemtech | I'm new to ubuntu | 12:26 |
| jrib | didn't you have a different error before? about restricted-modules? | 12:26 |
| harlemtech | yes | 12:26 |
| jrib | what was it? | 12:27 |
| harlemtech | every time I go to restricted manager it tells me this: You need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server for this program to work. | 12:28 |
| jrib | ok | 12:29 |
| jrib | now open a terminal | 12:29 |

| jrib | you'll only have one that says "generic" | 12:50 |
