| Balsaq | hey _Techie_ are you a channel manager now or something? | 01:51 |
|---|---|---|
| _Techie_ | huh? | 01:59 |
| _Techie_ | what would give you that idea? | 01:59 |
| _Techie_ | Balsaq- what gave you that idea? | 02:02 |
| HyperHacker | hello, I have a Xubuntu 8.04 AMD64 system which needs some packages installed, but can't access the internet... any way to download the necessary files on another machine? | 02:14 |
| _Techie_ | HyperHacker- http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 02:21 |
| HyperHacker | thanks | 02:22 |
| _Techie_ | no problem | 02:22 |
| ramseize | hello can anyone tell me what best dock for xubuntu ? | 02:25 |
| webbb82 | when i started xfce the gnome panel was in place so i del it but how do i add the xfce panel if there isnt one already there to click add new panel | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | i remember someone asking the same question awhile back | 03:28 |
| HyperHacker | Alt+F2, run a new instance of "xfce4-panel" | 03:28 |
| webbb82 | that didnt work | 03:29 |
| webbb82 | i got it | 03:30 |
| yanger | having some issues with karmic install of xubuntu... but, all my windows are stuck at the top left corner.. is this normal for xfce? | 03:42 |
| HyperHacker | I should think not | 03:42 |
| HyperHacker | you can't drag them? | 03:42 |
| _Techie_ | !karmic | yanger | 03:43 |
| ubottu | yanger: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 03:43 |
| yanger | i thought the window manager was better than this.. heh.. | 03:43 |
| yanger | ahh.. | 03:43 |
| HyperHacker | it is, normally >_> | 03:43 |
| yanger | HyperHacker: negative. stuck no pane | 03:43 |
| yanger | i'll ask in +1 | 03:43 |
| yanger | :P | 03:43 |
| HyperHacker | ah no titlebar? | 03:43 |
| yanger | HyperHacker: yep. no titlebar | 03:43 |
| HyperHacker | so you don't actually have a window manager running | 03:43 |
| yanger | HyperHacker: what does xfce's window manager? i used it in the past, but that was 6 years ago when it wasn't so mature, and on slack | 03:44 |
| HyperHacker | I think xfwm4 | 03:44 |
| HyperHacker | best thing I find if your WM crashes often is to put a shortcut on your panel that will start it, so you don't have to try to navigate command windows | 03:44 |
| HyperHacker | last it happened to me I found I could hit Alt+F2 for the run prompt, and not type in it, but could paste in it and click OK | 03:45 |
| webbb82 | has anyone ever used lubuntu | 03:45 |
| webbb82 | lxbe | 03:45 |
| yanger | ah. manuall ran xfwm4 and the titlebars came alive ;) | 03:45 |
| webbb82 | lxde | 03:45 |
| yanger | although, i think i have two menubars on top now. thanks! | 03:46 |
| HyperHacker | ah good | 03:46 |
| HyperHacker | it can be difficult to actually run the program when you can't click a window to type in :-p | 03:46 |
| HyperHacker | happened to me often with older versions of Compiz | 03:46 |
| _Techie_ | HyperHacker- happened to me aswell, so i gave up on trying to get dual head + opengl | 03:47 |
| HyperHacker | I had to switch to an nVidia card to get it working | 03:48 |
| tehC0unt | yoooo | 04:08 |
| webbb82 | im running wifi but if i [plug in my ethernet wire will it stop wifi and auto run off the ethernet | 04:10 |
| _Techie_ | no, your wifi connection will remain | 04:13 |
| _Techie_ | and i would think that any connections established over wifi would remain so | 04:13 |
| webbb82 | how can i swich to ethernet | 04:14 |
| _Techie_ | plugi it in and disable your wifi | 04:14 |

| any5468456 | for instance the FF "about" popup window, doesn't, and shows nothing | 04:32 |
| any5468456 | any ideas about upgrading FF or why the popups don't ? | 04:33 |
| any5468456 | i used the package manager to dl a .deb ,, which apparently didn't work | 04:34 |

| Balsaq | did you save them to your desktop any5468458? | 04:40 |
| any5468456 | i did till 5 minutes ago, then del'd them | 04:40 |
| any5468456 | i am bak at the mozzilla site, however | 04:41 |
| Balsaq | who was helping you ..or did you do it yourself | 04:41 |
| any5468456 | myself | 04:41 |
| Balsaq | what are you trying to accomplish? | 04:41 |
| any5468456 | total noob on nix boxes, never saw one working before in my life, been using winders for 15 yrs | 04:41 |
| any5468456 | upgrade ff 3.1 to 3.5 | 04:41 |
| any5468456 | got xchat installed and working :-) | 04:42 |
| Balsaq | were you doing the driver thing for online video purposes? | 04:42 |
| any5468456 | driver thng? | 04:42 |
| Balsaq | bz2? | 04:43 |
| Balsaq | 23:37 | 04:43 |
| any5468456 | bz2 = cmpressed install file, according to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html | 04:43 |
| Balsaq | tring to upgrade ff | 04:44 |
| any5468456 | there's a .so file in it, which doesn't actually install anything | 04:44 |
| Balsaq | i ws trying to install a driver file to help speed up online vids | 04:44 |
| any5468456 | and i tried the .deb file from canonical, which also failed to upgrade | 04:44 |
| Balsaq | actaully i was tring to figure out what version of ff i have now...just got buntu about 10 days ago and ff was on it | 04:45 |
| any5468456 | i just got this puter this afternoon, never been at a nix box before | 04:45 |
| Balsaq | what is nix? | 04:46 |
| any5468456 | abbr for linux/freebsd/bsb/debian/etcetc | 04:46 |
| any5468456 | yeas, i know they are not all the same family | 04:46 |
| Balsaq | ok so it was a linux puter fromday one? | 04:47 |
| any5468456 | i do not know, i suspect it was a winxp home edition when it was oem'd | 04:47 |
| Balsaq | hmmm wonder if i upgrade ff if it will speed up the utube vids | 04:47 |
| any5468456 | it's said that 3.5 is faster, i dunno, prolly depends on your isp bandwidth more than anything | 04:48 |
| Balsaq | how can i tell which cersion of ff i have now? | 04:48 |
| Balsaq | version* | 04:48 |
| any5468456 | in FF, under Help tab, click "about" | 04:49 |
| Balsaq | 3.0.14 ty | 04:49 |
| Balsaq | hmm possible fix there if i am real lucky | 04:50 |
| Balsaq | cant hurt to take the upgrade right | 04:50 |
| any5468456 | well, i been trying to do that, with no sucess | 04:51 |
| any5468456 | on winxp home and pro, it worked right the first and every time | 04:51 |
| Balsaq | how old is yout nix | 04:51 |
| any5468456 | i just upgraded to new packs an hr ago | 04:51 |
| Balsaq | how old is your computer | 04:52 |
| any5468456 | i think it said 2006 | 04:52 |
| Balsaq | mine is from1998 | 04:52 |
| Balsaq | well the one i am on now ids a g4 lapper | 04:53 |
| Balsaq | well i think i mat as well try the ff upgrade | 04:53 |
| Balsaq | should i hit "open with" or save file? | 04:54 |
| any5468456 | all i could do was save | 04:54 |
| Balsaq | is it better to go open with if i can | 04:54 |
| any5468456 | i do not know! this is why iam in here now, oting is working | 04:55 |
| any5468456 | nothing | 04:55 |
| Balsaq | attempting the open with thing now | 04:56 |
| Balsaq | well see | 04:56 |
| any5468456 | ahh, it worked!! | 04:56 |
| Balsaq | did you do the open with? | 04:56 |
| any5468456 | i saved the .bz2, unzipped it, executed "FireFox" | 04:56 |
| Balsaq | i put in desktop...still doing it | 04:57 |
| any5468456 | now, i have no clue where that unzipped folder is....... | 04:57 |
| Balsaq | see i thought it would just go in the lil ff icon on top of my screen | 04:57 |
| Balsaq | hit applicatiion and put it under save as | 04:58 |
| Balsaq | i didnt want it to hide in some file ill never find so i went to application..archive...ansd save as | 04:58 |
| Balsaq | cant believe this old relic of a puter runs around like this | 04:59 |
| Balsaq | hmmm got the new ff on my desktop wonder if i am done? | 05:00 |
| Balsaq | nope now i gotta figure out how to install it | 05:01 |
| Balsaq | man i suck at computers | 05:02 |
| Balsaq | pretty good at plantin sh*t on my desktop though | 05:02 |
| any5468456 | can't get FoxTab to show in the toolbar | 05:03 |
| Balsaq | yeah i ahvent figure it out yet | 05:03 |
| Balsaq | must have some kind of install tool to use now? | 05:03 |
| any5468456 | ok, the taskbar/tookbar thing in FF allows the foxtab button to be manually added to the bar | 05:06 |
| Balsaq | how do i do that | 05:07 |
| any5468456 | first, get FoxTab from Mozzila | 05:08 |
| Balsaq | so i go back to mozilla? | 05:09 |
| any5468456 | umm, yes | 05:09 |
| Balsaq | ok am there | 05:09 |
| Balsaq | oh and hit the dload thing for linux? | 05:09 |
| any5468456 | no, unless that's what you want to do | 05:10 |
| any5468456 | i thought you already installed Firefox, and wanted Foxtab,, do you even know what Foxtab is? | 05:10 |
| Balsaq | no | 05:11 |
| any5468456 | then why do you want it? | 05:11 |
| Balsaq | i want the ff as my browser and now only have it as a file on my desk | 05:11 |
| any5468456 | FF != FoxTab | 05:11 |
| any5468456 | ok,, i am going to go out and bite something | 05:12 |
| Balsaq | !foxtab | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about foxtab | 05:12 |
| _Techie_ | heya bal | 05:30 |
| Balsaq | where ya been i need some help here man | 05:35 |
| techie | heya Balsaq | 05:47 |
| Balsaq | WASSUP | 05:47 |
| Balsaq | 2 techs here now? | 05:48 |
| techie | oh whoops, forgot to change my login details under *buntu | 05:48 |
| Balsaq | Techie_ and techie | 05:48 |
| === techie is now known as _Techie_ | ||
| _Techie_ | there we go | 05:49 |
| Balsaq | so now it wont ping unless i go _Techie_ right? | 05:49 |
| _Techie_ | what gave you the idea earlier that i might have been a chan op? | 05:49 |
| Balsaq | cause you are up top | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | dunno name change | 05:50 |
| _Techie_ | yeah, my name is _Techie_ now, i got sick of not being able to kill my ghosts | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | ghosts wtf? i was trying to hot wire in some drivers to force my ole ati card to play the vids faster but ended up with2 files of them on my desk thats all didnt finish the jod, then found out my home ade fix may be a lot better and safer | 05:53 |
| Balsaq | jod=job | 05:53 |
| Balsaq | was told those forced type repairs can make the display freak out and cause me to have to reinstall | 05:54 |
| _Techie_ | werent the open source drivers working for you? | 05:56 |
| Balsaq | i was gooing to ask you which fix is safer and better? 1. but an nvidia geforce fx 5200agp, install it because it works with 220w PS and nvidia has the drivers support for buntu OR 2. force a fix using the stuff i dloaded today that may freak my puter but if it works will fix it with my ole card | 05:57 |
| Balsaq | ? | 05:58 |
| _Techie_ | whats your current card? | 05:59 |
| Balsaq | techie if there are open source drivers for my 1998 ATI 8mb agp card-no they are not working well, the dadgum vids play slow | 06:00 |
| _Techie_ | pastebin your xorg.conf please, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | so i called nvidia and told them all my specs and told them to figure it out...they said get the geforce fx 5200 128mb agb because it works with my computer and buntu | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | and they have binyu drivers | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | buntu i mean | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | seem a lil too easy huh | 06:02 |
| _Techie_ | well a 128mb card will definitely do the job | 06:03 |
| Balsaq | well i think that number has nothing to do with it thoug does it? seems like its all about the coordination of the OS, processor and the card...but from what i can tell the support aint there for the drivers because ...they vids played well with w98 and they dont play well now...but they play | 06:05 |
| _Techie_ | ati has horrible support for linux | 06:05 |
| Balsaq | so some dude on another channel had me hot wiring it and right after i got the filed on my desktop and renamed em he disappeared? | 06:06 |
| _Techie_ | lol | 06:06 |
| Balsaq | we did the termianl thing and all...and right when the final install was getiing close....poof | 06:07 |
| _Techie_ | anyway, could you pastebin me your xorg.conf | 06:07 |
| _Techie_ | and ill take a look | 06:07 |
| Balsaq | you know i dont know that | 06:07 |
| Balsaq | hey maybe that is a ghost! | 06:07 |
| Balsaq | and i am so tired of getiin jerked aound i dumped the dell and pulled out the good ole g4 | 06:08 |
| Balsaq | i was workon on the ole clunker for hours i am dead | 06:08 |
| _Techie_ | i know how you feel | 06:09 |
| Balsaq | almost like the fu | 06:09 |
| _Techie_ | ive pulled all nighters working on computers | 06:09 |
| Balsaq | flu | 06:09 |
| Balsaq | been doin in alot did 2 days and nights no sleep including my full time job | 06:09 |
| Balsaq | kinda dumb too cause the friggen thing works perfect...but the slows vids pisc me off | 06:10 |
| Balsaq | i can gamble on my fix fir 20 bucks | 06:11 |
| Balsaq | the guy said his fix is dangerous so maybe he bailed when he thought old betsy was ready to blow | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 06:12 |
| Balsaq | i wonder if the new ff browser would fix my prob | 06:18 |
| _Techie_ | wouldnt think so | 06:18 |
| Balsaq | i tried to get it , ended up with a nice icon on my browser..no clue how to make it my new browser thoough | 06:20 |
| Balsaq | icon on my desktop i mean | 06:21 |
| Balsaq | i swear when i had windows i installed browsers before...would just click on the icon and the browser woukld load,,,i click on the new icon for ff and i get a damm window or file | 06:22 |
| Balsaq | _Techie_ can you look at the vid card i am prolly going to buy if i tel you how to get there? | 06:42 |
| _Techie_ | the umm, geforce fx 5200 128mb agp | 06:43 |
| Balsaq | go to ebey type in geforce fx 5200 agp ..YES on ebay | 06:43 |
| Balsaq | it the one for 10 bucks used | 06:44 |
| Balsaq | they tell me to but it and then i look and there are a few different ones allw itht the same name but slightly different make ya wonder if it really fits | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | one sec re installing alsa | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | if its AGP, then itl fit into an AGP slot | 06:46 |
| Balsaq | ok | 06:46 |
| _Techie_ | what you see is the same chipset thats been sold to different manufacturers | 06:46 |
| Balsaq | but they are all different even thought they have the same name | 06:46 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 06:46 |
| _Techie_ | for example theres an ati HD3650 and a sapphire HD3650 | 06:47 |
| Balsaq | so i better get one that says dell? | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | they are both essentially the same card but the sapphire is made with a higher clock speed for better performance | 06:47 |
| Balsaq | plus my card says 2x and those are 8x? | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | try look around for a card that supports the 2x speed | 06:48 |
| Balsaq | mine says 3d...dunno if they are 3d | 06:48 |
| Balsaq | see noone has ssaid that yet at dell or nvidia i just noticed it | 06:48 |
| Balsaq | and i specifically asked them to tell me the right one? | 06:49 |
| Balsaq | evrytime i look closer i see another detail the pros didnt mention | 06:49 |
| Balsaq | is the 3d thing an issue too | 06:50 |
| _Techie_ | where does it say 3d? | 06:50 |
| Balsaq | on my original invoice | 06:50 |
| Balsaq | where it describes the ATI card i have | 06:51 |
| _Techie_ | that would have been directdraw 3d | 06:51 |
| _Techie_ | which is oldschool compared to opengl | 06:51 |
| Balsaq | id that a code i need to match up when i buy a card like the 2x 8x thing | 06:51 |
| _Techie_ | nope | 06:52 |
| Balsaq | is the 8x a problem | 06:52 |
| _Techie_ | sort of | 06:52 |
| _Techie_ | if the card carent clock down to 2x then it wont work in your system | 06:52 |
| _Techie_ | i suggest getting another system and work on that one, it will be easier | 06:53 |
| Balsaq | well i have a couple used optiplex in less than a week but ill never quit messin with the ole boat anchor-it will still run long after the newer ones have died | 06:54 |
| Balsaq | whisper quiet, runs cool... | 06:55 |
| Balsaq | ill call the vnidia tech back he may have already known the 2x 8x thing is backward compaqtible | 06:56 |
| _Techie_ | ive heard of cards being backwards compatable between 4x and 8x but im unsure about 2x | 07:08 |
| Balsaq | so why is yur name up under channel serv now | 07:22 |
| Balsaq | join #nvidia | 07:40 |
| Biggee | !list | 08:19 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 08:19 |
| Balsaq_ | ok...tried to update FF ended up with a folder on my desktop, went to the synaptic package manager, found the new FF in there, do i now have to highlight it to actually make it my new updated FF browser? _Techie_ | 08:32 |
| Balsaq_ | another one? | 08:46 |
| techie | yes, i shall TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! | 08:46 |
| Balsaq_ | i got my 2nd wind and came back down to the basement where the beast (dell ) lives | 08:46 |
| techie | the beast in the basement | 08:47 |
| Balsaq_ | the 1998 dell we fight with | 08:47 |
| Balsaq_ | the one you want me to bury in the yard | 08:47 |
| techie | i dont want you to bury it | 08:47 |
| techie | i just think it will do better as a server than a workstation | 08:48 |
| Balsaq_ | if i see the FF browser insynaptic pkg mgr and check it and apply it will that install the new browser? | 08:48 |
| techie | yes | 08:48 |
| techie | it should | 08:49 |
| techie | btw if you ever want to set up a server i can help | 08:49 |
| Balsaq_ | cause right now all i got is the file on my desk, after i install it will i then get rid of the darn file on my desktop | 08:49 |
| Balsaq_ | i will do it not now | 08:49 |
| Balsaq_ | when i get the 2 optiplex | 08:49 |
| Balsaq_ | see my above question | 08:49 |
| Balsaq_ | so after synaptic, do i get rid of the FF file on my desktop | 08:50 |
| Balsaq_ | or willl the real install get it off | 08:51 |
| techie | is the file on your desktop a .deb? | 08:51 |
| Balsaq_ | bz2 | 08:51 |
| techie | remove it now and install the version from the repo's | 08:52 |
| Balsaq_ | what are repos | 08:52 |
| techie | synaptic | 08:52 |
| techie | apt-get | 08:52 |
| Balsaq_ | oh so it was already there before i dloaded it from mozilla? | 08:52 |
| Balsaq_ | the new FF | 08:52 |
| _Techie_ | dont mind these links, im posting them for use between my laptop and desktop | 08:53 |
| _Techie_ | http://sprunge.us/TYgJ | 08:53 |
| _Techie_ | http://sprunge.us/LHPf | 08:53 |
| techie | okay | 08:54 |

| Balsaq_ | atta boy | 09:08 |
| __techie__ | now what i need to do is set up an IRC bouncer that accepts multiple connections for a single user | 09:12 |
| __techie__ | that way i can have one name on here and switch between my desktop and my laptop transparantly | 09:13 |
| ablomen | __techie__, install irssi on a server/computer thats always on, configure irssi-proxy and connect to that from your irc client :) | 09:18 |

| _Techie_ | okay, i have figured out my plan | 09:38 |
| _Techie_ | i shall persuade a friend to lend me his botnet and i will FLOOD THE IRC WORLD WITH TECHIES!!! MWAH HA HA HA HA | 09:39 |
| _Techie_ | whoops, wrong plan | 09:39 |
| Balsaq_ | hey what about a simple vid issue 1st! | 09:46 |
| Balsaq_ | i think i got it this time! | 09:46 |

| Balsaqio | whaddya do with em all | 11:24 |
| _Techie_ | tunnel | 11:24 |
| Balsaqio | yup i figured | 11:25 |
| Balsaqio | when one tunnel is blocked you can always escape thru the other | 11:25 |
| _Techie_ | yeah, or tunnell the tunnel | 11:25 |
| Balsaqio | like i have a flippin clue | 11:25 |
| Balsaqio | so really what a pro hacker doin in a family oriented place like this? | 11:26 |
| Balsaqio | this is milk an cookies aint it? | 11:26 |
| _Techie_ | im not pro | 11:26 |
| Balsaqio | how do you distinguish a pro from a minor leaguer | 11:27 |
| _Techie_ | a pro can break a systems security from outside, i specialise in breaking it from the inside | 11:28 |
| Balsaqio | yikes are you inmy puter? | 11:29 |
| _Techie_ | nope | 11:29 |
| Balsaqio | its empty | 11:29 |
| _Techie_ | not that you would know | 11:29 |
| Balsaqio | pretty interesting | 11:30 |
| _Techie_ | and its not the computer that i look at, its whats connected to it | 11:30 |
| Balsaqio | thats we we never put nuthin init of any value | 11:30 |
| _Techie_ | you have an internet connection, thats good enough | 11:31 |
| Balsaqio | lots of people put personal dtuff in there i onlyuse it as a net runner | 11:31 |
| Balsaqio | so you use otheres connections | 11:31 |
| _Techie_ | yep | 11:31 |
| _Techie_ | and sometimes their hardware | 11:31 |
| Balsaqio | what for | 11:31 |
| _Techie_ | hosting | 11:31 |
| Balsaqio | host for what | 11:32 |
| _Techie_ | my australian box has css, znc, http, https, ssh, webmin | 11:32 |
| _Techie_ | my box in finland also has ssh and a setup so i can tunnel through heavily restrictive firewalls | 11:33 |
| Balsaqio | do you think lots of people are doing this | 11:33 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 11:33 |
| Balsaqio | like millions | 11:33 |
| _Techie_ | theres people all over the world | 11:33 |
| Balsaqio | what do you do with their hardware | 11:34 |
| Balsaqio | put files in it | 11:34 |
| _Techie_ | nah, mainly host | 11:34 |
| _Techie_ | if i really wanted to use their harware for something decent i would have them crack wireless keys | 11:35 |
| Balsaqio | its seems like noone knows about it | 11:37 |
| _Techie_ | they know im there | 11:37 |
| Balsaqio | why do they know | 11:37 |
| _Techie_ | they gave me the access | 11:37 |
| Balsaqio | i dont get it | 11:38 |
| Balsaqio | why give you access | 11:38 |
| _Techie_ | because its for a good cause | 11:38 |
| Balsaqio | you are acharity too? | 11:38 |
| Balsaqio | what is the good cause | 11:39 |
| Balsaqio | i personally think the net should be free to all | 11:39 |
| _Techie_ | helping out someone with the same morals | 11:39 |
| Balsaqio | so al these folk i see on the right what the heck are they doin...so quiet just stiin over there | 11:41 |
| _Techie_ | over half of them are AFK | 11:41 |

| psicobra | how do i tell it it should be 1024x768 | 16:09 |
| cj__ | psicobra: cli: xrandr .. | 16:13 |
| cj__ | psicobra: .. and take a look, whether the desired resolution seems possible. | 16:13 |
| psicobra | it says maximum resolution is 800x600 but it is incorrect | 16:13 |
| likemindead | Very helpful -- dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg -- psicobra. | 16:14 |
| likemindead | Oh, and add sudo to that command. | 16:14 |
| psicobra | k 2 secs | 16:14 |
| likemindead | Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and restart. See if that does it for you. | 16:15 |
| psicobra | xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration | 16:16 |
| psicobra | file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20091007161545 | 16:16 |

| jmadrid | Hi, thanks! Well, I've been struggling trying to find a solution in the forums for my GeForce4 420 Go and Xubuntu. | 17:52 |
| jmadrid | It didn't worked at first. I went to the forums and found solutions... but now I' trying to find a solution the following: | 17:53 |
| jmadrid | Xubuntu defaults to the external VGA connector and not the laptop LCD. | 17:53 |
| jmadrid | When the machine is turned on, I have to connect it to an external monitor, and from there, enable the LCD. | 17:54 |
| likemindead | Sorry, I don't know of any solution for you. | 17:57 |
| likemindead | I'd just Google like crazy. | 17:57 |
| jmadrid | Interesting. My crazy googling showed me this chatroom! :D | 17:58 |
| jmadrid | I know I'll find it, though... just hope it doesn't take too long. | 17:59 |
| likemindead | Someone, somewhere has a xserver-xorg that'll sort you out. ;-) | 18:00 |

| Pres-Gas | I do miss that mouse | 18:03 |
