[00:51] <rmg51> looks more like a dancing turkey ;-)
[00:59] <MutantTurkey> :p
[01:17] <andrew> pleia2: Thanks for the card. I had to do a double take to see that it wasn't (originally) ubuntu-branded.
[01:18] <pleia2> hehe
[01:18] <pleia2> welcome :)
[01:18] <pleia2> "I need to get rid of these old branding Ubuntu stickers... OH!"
[01:19] <andrew> haha
[01:49] <sacul> HELP!  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?
[01:54] <ChinnoDog> oh. I did that too.
[01:54]  * ChinnoDog ponders the fix
[01:56] <ChinnoDog> I think it is a bat kernel version iirc
[01:56] <sacul> i don't know if I disabled the grub menu or what but I can't even get to that... its quite annoying
[01:56] <sacul> can't get into that machine at all
[01:56] <ChinnoDog> Some people fixed it by removing fglrx but I think ultimately you need to blacklist the bad kernel so you don't get it
[01:56] <ChinnoDog> Boot from a CD and chroot
[01:57] <sacul> can't get into that machine at allxd
[01:57] <sacul> s/allxd/all DX
[01:57] <sacul> whoops
[01:58] <sacul> stupid up arrow
[01:58]  * sacul doesn't want to download the iso allllll over again DX
[01:58] <sacul> i never keep my disc...
[01:59] <ChinnoDog> Sorry! I don't know another way
[01:59] <ChinnoDog> If you google it a bit you might find parameters to pass to the kernel that will let you limp along enough to fix it
[01:59] <sacul> its all good.. just whining cuz its going to be such a pain
[02:00] <ChinnoDog> but I think the easiest way is to boot to CD, chroot, and then either downgrade or upgrade your kernel
[02:00] <ChinnoDog> sacul: you don't have an older kernel listed in the boot loader you haven't removed yet?
[02:00] <sacul> i don't get a grub menu...
[02:01] <ChinnoDog> You don't? I thought everyone did...
[02:01] <sacul> i have no idea why to be honest
[02:01] <ChinnoDog> Someone confirm if I am crazy. doesn't everyone get the grub menu for a few secs?
[02:01] <ChinnoDog> Or is it because I always make a separate /boot?
[02:01] <sacul> goes straight from bios to the ubuntu logo.. which quickly disappears and black screen
[02:02] <ChinnoDog> sacul: hit escape when it is booting
[02:02] <sacul> and when i hit ctrl+alt+delete.. screen comes back and i can switch to tty but can't stop the reboot rocess at that point
[02:02] <ChinnoDog> you are supposed to be able to get to grub menu that way
[02:03] <sacul> no dice
[02:03] <sacul> :(
[02:04] <sacul> ubuntu loading screen still comes up.. you know with the scrolling dots.. and then disappears to black
[02:04] <sacul> argh
[02:05] <ChinnoDog> You should never get to ubuntu splash
[02:05] <ChinnoDog> hit esc repeatedly starting at POST
[02:05] <sacul> yup
[02:08] <sacul> letting wifey have her computer back.. will report back later :P
[02:12] <ChinnoDog> kk
[02:13] <sacul> found a disc.. hoping its not too scratched to use
[02:16] <ChinnoDog> I have booted many a scratched up disk
[02:23] <sacul> i have a separate home partition so I'm just doing a fresh install.. we'll see what happens
[02:40] <ChinnoDog> but, you could have fixed it...
[02:59] <jedijf> sacul: hit shift at boot
[03:00] <jedijf> oops way back in the log
[03:22] <daanish> hey ya'll
[03:23] <ChinnoDog> hello
[03:24] <daanish> chinnodog: how goes it?
[03:25] <ChinnoDog> It goes fine. I am trying to set up VirtualGL on my desktop.
[03:25] <daanish> chinnodog: sounds like fun!
[03:26] <ChinnoDog> Setup 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.
[03:37] <ChinnoDog> daanish: what brings you to our fine channel?
[04:05] <ChinnoDog> pfft
[04:37] <ChinnoDog> hi nvsbl
[04:52] <nvsbl> hey there
[06:10] <MutantTurkey> o/
[06:10] <MutantTurkey> :[ bed time
[06:21] <ChinnoDog> Not me. I'm still trying to get latest catalyst driver to work on desktop.
[07:00] <ChinnoDog> I surrender
[07:00] <ChinnoDog> I can not get catalyst 10.4 driver working on my desktop
[07:02] <ChinnoDog> I 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] <ChinnoDog> If someone knows the answer to this, plz let me know and I will investigate more tomorrow. I'm off to count sheep now.
[07:15] <andrew> ChinnoDog: How many are you up to?
