[00:08] likemindead, no, Just xubuntu. I went back down to the previous kernel and it is able to boot now. [00:08] Good! [00:08] I'd give it a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for good measure. [00:10] likemindead, i have removed the new kernel for the time being so i can use my machine. Another dude in #ubuntu had the same problem with his dell laptop. [00:10] Bummer. [00:10] did anyone file a bug for it? [00:10] not sure what that is/how to do it [00:10] Glad you've got it sorted. You should file a bug and post your experience to the forum. [00:11] file a bug - ubuntu-bug linux [00:16] random question: I installed ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on my machine when it came out. then decided i wanted to use xfce, so i installed that over top of whatever was there before. would i benefit from removing everything and installing from a pure xubuntu iso? or would it be the same? [00:16] don't know. Never looked at netbook remix [00:17] oh [00:18] when i was doing the dist. upgrade, i noticed a whole bunch of gnome packages being downloaded and installed....and i'm pretty sure i'm not using any of them [00:18] what's up with that? [00:18] xubuntu does use some of the gnome packages [00:19] oh [00:19] good to know [00:19] We use whatever is easiest for us to maintain, if it works the best for Xubuntu [00:19] That makes sense.... [00:20] the name 'gnome' does not mean the software is not the best or lightweight. It simply means the developer of the application used gnome in the name. [00:22] Has someone of you experience with Intel? [00:22] Not me, I threw the intel motherboard away [00:22] I mean from an working point of view not regarding the products. [00:23] * charlie-tca has no working experience with intel, either. [00:23] ok, thx :-) [00:23] Maybe hang around, see if someone has any [00:24] sure I will. :-) [00:25] charlie-tca, when is the next IOS rebuild and what was the birthdayparty like (the one you went to two weeks ago)? [00:25] (iso) [00:26] The iso's should be ready to test around the 31st of May, with Alpha1 due out June 3 [00:26] the birthday I can't actually remember. I tend to block what I don't need anymore [00:27] huh? Wasn't it your grandson (I mean the son of your son)? :-/ [00:28] But it is not necessary to remember it after it is over. I have enough to try to remember with a bad memory. [00:28] Now that you mention it, I think it was my grandson's party [00:29] Your memory has become bad over time? Really? [00:30] yeah, I used to be able to recall almost anything, now I do good to remember things from day to day [00:30] Isn't that why they make calendar programs? [00:30] :-/ [00:31] Will your memory at least stay that way? [00:31] We can hope [00:32] but I keep a calendar, both written and on the computer. That works for me [00:34] <_Techie_> Aquina, you were looking for someone with experience with Intel? [00:41] yes [00:41] <_Techie_> what exactly was it you were wanting to know, ill have an ask around [00:42] They made men an offer. I heard 'things' about Intel though and so I'd like to hear an insider opinion. [00:42] (me an offer) [00:42] <_Techie_> i figured [00:43] :-) [00:44] <_Techie_> so what should i be asking [00:44] I see, charlie. [00:45] It's not so much a specific question (except the usual like payment and how much they care) but rather a ggeneral statement and experiences I'd like to hear (e.g. ones pros and cons/whatever comes into that persons mind first). [00:46] Also things to watch out for, what's important for the Intel administration, etc. [00:47] <_Techie_> so was this offer to do with employment with them, or distribution or something else [00:49] employment [00:49] <_Techie_> i see [00:53] <_Techie_> anyway, im gonna head into town [00:54] <_Techie_> ill have a good think and see if theres anyone i can ask for ya Aquina [00:54] <_Techie_> anyway, catcha later [00:59] :-) === anom01y is now known as Anom01y === Anom01y is now known as anom01y === anom01y is now known as Anom01y [04:41] my 10.04 goes in to some sort of panic mode switching between ttys...can't get out of it [04:42] it's happened about 4 times since i did dist upgrade [04:43] one screen is black i think, the other is black w/ like 4 white lines...back and forth, back and forth...all i can do is reboot w/ ctrl+alt+del [04:43] any ideas? [04:51] cripes it just happened again [05:27] hello, is there a bug or something not allowing 10.04 to do shift plus symbols. ever since i upgraded to 10.04 tonight i can't shift anything mind you i am remote controlling but all worked before [05:27] i can paste a shifted character in from another window though [05:39] What's your keyboard layout, Hoochster? [05:39] us defaults [05:40] was running karmic before the upgrade and all was fine [05:40] but after upgrade and reboot noticed i could no longer press the pound key etc heh, but i can cut/paste into it from another window [05:40] i am using x11vnc to control it [05:40] i will note this is on a vmware server but again no issues before [05:40] if you have any ideas i am open heh i have googled for awhile now [05:45] Sounds strange, for sure. [05:45] trying to connect to my vmware server to try via console to see if it is just a vnc thing [05:59] hello anyone here? [05:59] Yes. [06:01] likemindead, seems to be a bug with x11vnc, I finally found a workaround to get me by till they fix it. [06:02] Neat. I've yet to use/have a need for VNC or VMWare. [06:03] well I just have 1 main server, and I run linux-vserver for most stuff but due to display sharing I run vmware-server for stuff like this which is my irc/im server that I leave connected all the time and just remote it from wherever I am heh [06:04] http://www.bramschoenmakers.nl/en/node/714 [06:04] is the workaround if anyone else runs into the issue [06:04] You should post it to ubuntuforums.org for others.
