| tripelb | hi. I am trying to get my new-to-me monitor working better. Right now it has this out of range box floating around. I reset the Nvidia X-server stuff in the window I get from prefs, monitors. I set.. set the resolution let the rest go auto. told it it was alright to lose the earlier config. saved it. closed it. | 01:40 |
|---|---|---|
| tripelb | now what. still have the box. | 01:40 |
| philipballew | tripelb, try #ubuntu-beginners | 01:42 |
| philipballew | someone will help you there easier | 01:42 |
| philipballew | but your welcome to get help here, just less eyes on the channel | 01:43 |
| philipballew | haha | 01:43 |
| tripelb | I've been in #ubuntu and expect for some guy who said some really complex stuff I didnt hardly believe. No one will give me the time of day. I try to help the beginners. I'll go to the beginners as you suggest. | 01:47 |
| tripelb | Man, I've been around computers for decades and still, these little things. Just changing a monitor. Do you have to reboot after that or not? | 01:47 |
| akk | Wouldn't think so, but you'd probably need to restart X (log out and back in). | 01:48 |
| philipballew | i would recomend logging out as well | 01:48 |
| philipballew | rarly on a linux system do you need to reboot | 01:48 |
| tripelb | ah restart X. ok | 01:50 |
| tripelb | see you soon | 01:50 |
| akk | It does sometimes happen -- like the Intel driver rendering bug doesn't reset itself until you reboot. | 01:50 |
| akk | The video driver in the kernel and the one in X are so tightly interwound now, I guess. Dunno if that's true for nVidia as well. | 01:51 |
| philipballew | it appears he never came back | 02:03 |
| nhaines | Oh wow, Ubuntu One now offers 5GB of free storage! | 02:30 |
| nhaines | And the Music Streaming service now includes 20GB of storage! | 02:30 |
| crashsystems | can one use U1 on a mobile with a free account now? | 02:33 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: one always could. | 02:34 |
| crashsystems | I thought that was limited to pay accounts | 02:35 |
| nhaines | No, that was for contact syncing (discontinued) and music streaming (still not free, but now comes with extra storage). | 02:35 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: https://one.ubuntu.com/services/ | 02:35 |
| crashsystems | might be time for me to ditch dropbox then | 02:36 |
| nhaines | The new "alt-tab" is pretty but it's bound to Ctrl-Tab and I need that. :[ | 03:00 |
| crashsystems | you running 11.10 already? | 03:07 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: yes, I installed it on my laptop yesterday. | 03:12 |
| crashsystems | how is it going for you? | 03:12 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: well, I installed right into a display manager transition, so I couldn't log in graphically until this morning. :) | 03:13 |
| crashsystems | lol | 03:13 |
| nhaines | It's a bit crashy but not terrible. | 03:13 |
| crashsystems | I usually install beta versions, but I probably won't this time. | 03:19 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: well, it'll probably be fine by then, but oneiric beta isn't scheduled until September 1st. | 03:22 |

| jyo | pleia2: So what are you doing for sysadmin appreciation day? | 21:27 |
| nhaines | jyo: listening to her cat meow incessantly at her. | 21:27 |
| jyo | One of our colo customers brought quite a bounty of Costco foodstuffs. | 21:29 |
| pleia2 | I should have never replaced this toy, she is really being awful :) | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | jyo: I bought myself sushi and a membership to Usenix's SAGE | 21:35 |
| * pleia2 appreciates herself | 21:36 | |
| rww | I disabled all the administrator accounts on our domain except for four of them today. Go me! | 21:36 |
| rww | >.< | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | my boss +1ed my g+ post about the day, I guess that counts as something :) | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | jyo: so who do I need to bribe to get an HE ipv6 shirt? :) (better than penguin!) | 21:40 |
| jyo | pleia2: Do the IPv6 certification thing and get sage: http://ipv6.he.net/certification/ | 21:41 |
| pleia2 | hmm, I'm not running a mailserver w/ ipv6 but MJ is.. | 21:42 |
