andrewpleia2: Thanks for the card. I had to do a double take to see that it wasn't (originally) ubuntu-branded.01:17
pleia2hehe01:18
pleia2welcome :)01:18
pleia2"I need to get rid of these old branding Ubuntu stickers... OH!"01:18
andrewhaha01:19
saculHELP!  I installed the proprietary drivers via the system menu for my ati card and now I get a black screen on boot up.. can't ctrl+alt+f1 to a tty to fix it or anything! Just a black screen!  any ideas?01:49
ChinnoDogoh. I did that too.01:54
* ChinnoDog ponders the fix01:54
ChinnoDogI think it is a bat kernel version iirc01:56
saculi don't know if I disabled the grub menu or what but I can't even get to that... its quite annoying01:56
saculcan't get into that machine at all01:56
ChinnoDogSome people fixed it by removing fglrx but I think ultimately you need to blacklist the bad kernel so you don't get it01:56
ChinnoDogBoot from a CD and chroot01:56
saculcan't get into that machine at allxd01:57
saculs/allxd/all DX01:57
saculwhoops01:57
saculstupid up arrow01:58
* sacul doesn't want to download the iso allllll over again DX01:58
saculi never keep my disc...01:58
ChinnoDogSorry! I don't know another way01:59
ChinnoDogIf you google it a bit you might find parameters to pass to the kernel that will let you limp along enough to fix it01:59
saculits all good.. just whining cuz its going to be such a pain01:59
ChinnoDogbut I think the easiest way is to boot to CD, chroot, and then either downgrade or upgrade your kernel02:00
ChinnoDogsacul: you don't have an older kernel listed in the boot loader you haven't removed yet?02:00
saculi don't get a grub menu...02:00
ChinnoDogYou don't? I thought everyone did...02:01
saculi have no idea why to be honest02:01
ChinnoDogSomeone confirm if I am crazy. doesn't everyone get the grub menu for a few secs?02:01
ChinnoDogOr is it because I always make a separate /boot?02:01
saculgoes straight from bios to the ubuntu logo.. which quickly disappears and black screen02:01
ChinnoDogsacul: hit escape when it is booting02:02
saculand when i hit ctrl+alt+delete.. screen comes back and i can switch to tty but can't stop the reboot rocess at that point02:02
ChinnoDogyou are supposed to be able to get to grub menu that way02:02
saculno dice02:03
sacul:(02:03
saculubuntu loading screen still comes up.. you know with the scrolling dots.. and then disappears to black02:04
saculargh02:04
ChinnoDogYou should never get to ubuntu splash02:05
ChinnoDoghit esc repeatedly starting at POST02:05

ChinnoDogI have booted many a scratched up disk02:16

ChinnoDogbut, you could have fixed it...02:40

daanishhey ya'll03:22
ChinnoDoghello03:23
daanishchinnodog: how goes it?03:24
ChinnoDogIt goes fine. I am trying to set up VirtualGL on my desktop.03:25
daanishchinnodog: sounds like fun!03:25
ChinnoDogSetup in Ubuntu is easy. I am struggling with cygwin on my windows laptop though. The chooser screen baffles me. I can't tell what packages are installed.03:26
ChinnoDogdaanish: what brings you to our fine channel?03:37
ChinnoDogpfft04:05
ChinnoDoghi nvsbl04:37

ChinnoDogNot me. I'm still trying to get latest catalyst driver to work on desktop.06:21
ChinnoDogI surrender07:00
ChinnoDogI can not get catalyst 10.4 driver working on my desktop07:00
ChinnoDogI can build the install packages and instal it, and clearly it is installed. The VESA mode for the command prompt is now set correctly, But, running aticonfig gives me "No supported adapters detected".  glxinfo shows that rederer is mesa.07:02
ChinnoDogIf someone knows the answer to this, plz let me know and I will investigate more tomorrow. I'm off to count sheep now.07:02
