[12:24] <jrib> harlemtech: hi
[12:24] <harlemtech> hey thanx for responding
[12:24] <jrib> harlemtech: can you repeat your error here, so I have it for reference?  What is the output of 'uname -a'?
[12:25] <harlemtech> Ok
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <jrib> what was it?
[12:28] <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.
[12:29] <jrib> ok
[12:29] <jrib> now open a terminal
[12:29] <harlemtech> please bare with me I'm not a good typist
[12:29] <jrib> !terminal

[12:29] <jrib> and type the following and press enter:  uname -a
[12:29] <jrib> then give me the output
[12:29] <harlemtech> okay

[12:48] <harlemtech> how do i do that
[12:49] <jrib> when your computer boots, it should display the grub menu or tell you to press ESC if you want to see it
[12:50] <harlemtech> and which to choose, how would i know whats the latest?
[12:50] <jrib> you'll only have one that says "generic"
[12:50] <jrib> and the latest would be the one with the biggest number
[12:50] <harlemtech> okay
[12:51] <harlemtech> thanx so much

[12:58] <jrib> you didn't choose generic
[12:58] <harlemtech> it gave me no option
[12:59] <harlemtech> it just rebooted and prompt me to put in my user name
[12:59] <harlemtech> and passwd
[12:59] <jrib> you need to press ESC then

[01:01] <jrib> reboot and press ESC
[01:01] <jrib> when it is booting
[01:01] <harlemtech> when i see the ubuntu logo
[01:01] <jrib> it should say "press ESC to see menu"...  But if you can't get to the menu, return and ask in #ubuntu, I have to go now
[01:01] <jrib> before taht
[01:02] <harlemtech> press esc when?
[01:02] <jrib> when it starts booting

[03:35] <jrib> go to medibuntu.org and read the instructions there
[03:35] <harlemtec1> You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[03:35] <harlemtec1> harlemtech@unbuntu:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[03:36] <jrib> you missed a step when you enabled medibuntu repos
[03:36] <harlemtec1> how do I fix it
[03:36] <jrib> the medibuntu.org website has 2 commands and you did not do the second one
[03:37] <harlemtec1> how do I fix it?
[03:37] <jrib> do the second command
[03:37] <harlemtec1> what is it
[03:37] <jrib> medibuntu.org
[03:38] <harlemtec1> dont understand
[03:38] <jrib> visit medibuntu.org in your browser and click on "repository howto".  Didn't you do this before to add the medibuntu repos in the first place?
[03:40] <harlemtec1> man I had a dist of dapper drake, and I upgraded all the way to feisty, I cant remember have of the things I did. lol

[03:47] <jrib> you have a duplicate entry in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:47] <harlemtec1> what  do I do?
[03:48] <jrib> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:48] <jrib> remove the duplicate entry
[03:48] <harlemtec1> how?
[03:49] <jrib> it's  text file
[03:49] <jrib> you delete the text that's a duplicate
[03:50] <jrib> and this resulted because I am guessing you ran both commands at medibuntu.org instead of just the second one
[03:50] <jrib> harlemtec1:  pastebin your sources.list when you are done
[03:50] <harlemtec1> okay Im going to finish this tomorrow, thanx so much

[10:07] <nalioth> jrib: you ARE a machine.
[10:07] <harlemtech> now I put in the command sudo apt-get install, right?
[10:07] <nalioth> jrib: got time to help me with beryl/compiz/whatever all that fancy stuff is?
[10:08] <jrib> nalioth: do I pass your turing test?  I don't know too much about it, but you can try me
[10:08] <nalioth> ah, you seem to know everything, i just thought i'd keep you in practice here  :)
[10:08] <harlemtech> you get that jrib
[10:09] <jrib> harlemtech: 'sudo apt-get update'
[10:10] <harlemtech> did that

[10:10] <harlemtech> no, it fetched the packages
[10:10] <jrib> ok, then that error is gone
[10:11] <harlemtech> what do I do next
[10:12] <jrib> what do you want to do?
[10:12] <harlemtech> get beryl to work
[10:12] <jrib> did you install it through synaptic?
[10:13] <harlemtech> no apt-get
[10:13] <jrib> ok, can you run 'beryl-manager'
[10:13] <harlemtech> yes
[10:13] <jrib> do you get an emerald in your notification area?
[10:14] <harlemtech> yes
[10:14] <jrib> harlemtech: right click on it, select window manager, beryl   what happens
[10:15] <harlemtech> hold on whats the notification area?
[10:15] <jrib> the thing by the time with all the icons
[10:17] <harlemtech> I only have a red diamond icon, that says beryl manager no emerald
[10:17] <jrib> yes, that is what I mean
[10:17] <jrib> yeah i guess emerald is green huh
[10:18] <harlemtech> but emerald theme manager is in >systems>Preferences
[10:18] <jrib> ok
[10:18] <jrib> harlemtech: right click on the red diamond, select window manager, beryl   what happens
[10:19] <harlemtech> my whole screen flickered
[10:22] <harlemtech> it closes my windows and then when i go back to window manager, beryl, it's switched back metacity
[10:23] <jrib> harlemtech: try #ubuntu-effects, I haven't seen that before
