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