[05:28] hello [05:29] anyone here? [05:29] yup! [05:30] hello [05:30] yep, I would hope so [05:30] This is the first time this has ever happened. When I rebooted, my computer goes into text mode. If I try to manually start gdm, it says it is already started [05:30] gantrixx hypatia: how are you both? [05:30] MattQC, I'm frustrated [05:30] how are you? [05:31] hmm, odd? [05:31] never had that happen before [05:31] ctrl-alt-F7 just results in blank screen [05:31] I'm okay, seeing I don't have a verbose login problem [05:32] I think that's what they call it, verbose mode, no? [05:32] I'm vacillating now between Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 10.10 [05:32] oh, I think I might know what it is [05:32] gantrixx: can you kill it and then restart it? [05:32] that's odd [05:33] what do you think it is? [05:33] fglrx [05:34] I was trying to remove mysql-server [05:34] ahh [05:34] for some reason it had some dependency on fglrx [05:34] and it couldn't uninstall fglrx [05:34] so maybe it partially removed it [05:34] there are some weird things with 10.10 [05:35] that is mega weird [05:35] well that was it [05:36] I've always been an Ubuntu type, but wanted to give Fedora a look see with the new release [05:37] how's that been working, MattQC ? [05:50] hypatia: back [05:50] wb [05:51] hypatia: Thanks. Now chatting from Pidgin, via Windows :( [05:51] :( [05:51] at least it's pidgin! [05:51] Okay, I am going to ditch Fedora I think, and head back to Ubuntu [05:51] Yes yes, indeed [05:51] welcome back, i guess? :) [05:51] I´ve become used to XChat however [05:51] yes yes [05:51] Just easier to configure the installer, and on my ThinkPad too [05:52] checked power consumption on the other distro via PowerTop, and it´s about the same [05:52] I am going to head to bed shortly however. It´s almost 2am here in Montréal
