[06:34] <DShepherd> can someone explain to me what happens when /etc/init.d/gdm start is executed versus startx?
[06:58] <tjaalton> DShepherd: startx runs /etc/X11/Xsession, gdm runs /etc/gdm/Xsession
[06:58] <DShepherd> tjaalton, thanks
[07:15] <DShepherd> tjaalton: where you the person i was talking to yesterday about my start and gdm problem?
[07:15] <tjaalton> yes
[07:15] <DShepherd> were*
[07:15] <tjaalton> it's not a problem in X
[07:16] <DShepherd> tjaalton: i think i agree with you
[07:17] <DShepherd> tjaalton: would you find it interesting if i remove metacity. I can login just fine in gutsy
[07:17] <DShepherd> if i == that I removed*
[07:18] <tjaalton> so rm -rf ~/.metacity and try again
[07:18] <DShepherd> tjaalton: did that already, reinstalled metacity and still no joy
[07:18] <tjaalton> have you tried asking on #ubuntu?
[07:19] <DShepherd> tjaalton: yeah, some guy said he had some similar problem and it was related to xgl being installed. removed it and he was fine
[07:19] <DShepherd> tjaalton: no xgl here so that didnt help much
[07:20] <tjaalton> well now you have more information to share..
[07:20] <tjaalton> I don't know whats wrong, and it's offtopic here anyway ;)
[07:20] <DShepherd> tjaalton: again, i dont think its X problem, so I dont expect you guys to chip in
[07:21] <DShepherd> tjaalton: aight, thanks again for lending an ear
[07:23]  * DShepherd wonders if gdm was updated recently
[07:23] <tjaalton> please
[07:23] <tjaalton> ..not here :)
[07:24] <DShepherd> srry
[09:01] <pwnguin> so do the nvidia drivers work now?
[09:02] <tjaalton> should work
[09:03] <pwnguin> ok
[09:03] <pwnguin> time to test ^_^
[09:06] <pwnguin> appears to
[09:12] <tjaalton> good
[09:58] <pwnguin> i wish nvidia had a public bug tracker. publishing a change log that says "fixed a bug" isnt very descriptive =(
