canthus13Unit193: Mine routes quite well.  And some of them have a telnet interface that you can activate...00:14
canthus13It's a little sluggish, but I have no complaints in general.  I've got a v7 that only gets reset if there's a power failure. :)00:15
Unit1931Know anything about v5?00:31
Unit1931I like irssi better then I did last week... but I still like finch better00:31
Cheri703I have my biggest dog curled up next to me on the couch...she kind of stinks00:34
dmcgloneHi all, I have grub installed on my 2nd drive and I thought it was installed on my 1st drive, does anyone know how I can install it on my 1st drive instead?00:37
Unit1931heya dmcglone!00:37
dmcgloneHi00:38
dmcgloneis sata hot swappable?00:40
Cheri703not as far as I know00:40
dmcgloneI had to get me a new dvd rom and it's sata and I only have 2 sata power cords and I'm trying to unplug my 2nd hard drive to use the power cord for the dvd rom but if I unplug the 2nd drive I can't boot because it seems I accidently installed grub on my 2nd drive instead of on the MBR00:42

Unit1931dmcglone: Been having fun with moonlight? (been moonlighting :D )02:20
dmcgloneCheri703: , them grub pages didn't work :-(02:34
Cheri703that sucks02:34
dmcglonenah Unit it's basically like flash02:34
dmcglonewhat's screwed up is my grub is on my 1st drive, but when I remove my second drive it croaks and won't run02:35
dmcgloneI'm about to boot into windows and restore the MBR and then re-install grub later02:36
dmcgloneAll I want to do is temporarily plug in a dvd player till I can get a splitter or adapter for the power cord02:37
dmcgloneI'll be back02:38

dmcglonegood thing I still remember how to use pico04:12
Unit193Messed with the display?04:16
canthus13pico/nano. :)04:18
dmcgloneYeah I'm messing with my monitor displays. as you all can see I've had a lot of crap going these past couple days.. LOL04:20
dmcgloneanybody know what's wrong with this:04:21
dmcglonexrandr --output VGA-0 --auto right-of DVI-004:21
dmcgloneIs it wrong?04:21
* canthus13 usually uses Nano.04:22
Unit193I just gotta ask: Did you issue the pico command?04:22
dmcgloneYes Unit04:22
dmcglonecanthus13: I never did use nano04:22
* Unit193 doesn't like vim04:22
Unit193pico = nano04:22
dmcgloneno Unit04:22
* BiosElement kills Unit193 for not liking vim04:22
* canthus13 never knew pico was available in ubuntu.04:22
dmcglonefor some reason pico just always clicked with me04:23
canthus13Oh. heh. pico <whatever> launches nano.04:24
Unit193BiosElement: You like vim? vimperator?04:24
BiosElementvim FTW!04:24
BiosElementDon't use vimperator since I don't use FF :P04:24
Unit193Knowing all the kayboard shotcuts doesn't work for me... (plus half the time they don't seem to work)04:26
Cheri703dmcglone: possibly the vga-0? mine is just vga# no -04:28
Cheri703I don't have the --auto, mine is just --left-of04:29
dmcgloneCheri703: can you show me your whole line?04:31
Cheri703xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS104:31
dmcgloneI tried that.. Hmmm04:32
Cheri703do the other steps complete properly?04:32
dmcglonexrandr --output VGA-0 right-of DVI-004:32
dmcglonewhen I try that it spits out all the things I can use for xrandr04:32
Cheri703I have the line for "newmode" then "addmode" then "output vga mode" then "output lvds mode" then "output location"04:33
Cheri703are you sure it's vga-0? vs vga0?04:33
