[01:40] <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.
[01:42] <philipballew> tripelb, try #ubuntu-beginners
[01:42] <philipballew> someone will help you there easier
[01:43] <philipballew> but your welcome to get help here, just less eyes on the channel
[01:43] <philipballew> haha
[01:47] <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?
[01:48] <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
[01:50] <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.
[01:51] <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.
[02:03] <philipballew> it appears he never came back
[02:30] <nhaines> Oh wow, Ubuntu One now offers 5GB of free storage!
[02:30] <nhaines> And the Music Streaming service now includes 20GB of storage!
[02:33] <crashsystems> can one use U1 on a mobile with a free account now?
[02:34] <nhaines> crashsystems: one always could.
[02:35] <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/
[02:36] <crashsystems> might be time for me to ditch dropbox then
[03:00] <nhaines> The new "alt-tab" is pretty but it's bound to Ctrl-Tab and I need that.  :[
[03:07] <crashsystems> you running 11.10 already?
[03:12] <nhaines> crashsystems: yes, I installed it on my laptop yesterday.
[03:12] <crashsystems> how is it going for you?
[03:13] <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.
[03:19] <crashsystems> I usually install beta versions, but I probably won't this time.
[03:22] <nhaines> crashsystems: well, it'll probably be fine by then, but oneiric beta isn't scheduled until September 1st.
[21:27] <jyo> pleia2: So what are you doing for sysadmin appreciation day?
[21:27] <nhaines> jyo: listening to her cat meow incessantly at her.
[21:29] <jyo> One of our colo customers brought quite a bounty of Costco foodstuffs.
[21:34] <pleia2> I should have never replaced this toy, she is really being awful :)
[21:35] <pleia2> jyo: I bought myself sushi and a membership to Usenix's SAGE
[21:36]  * pleia2 appreciates herself
[21:36] <rww> I disabled all the administrator accounts on our domain except for four of them today. Go me!
[21:37] <rww> >.<
[21:37] <pleia2> my boss +1ed my g+ post about the day, I guess that counts as something :)
[21:40] <pleia2> jyo: so who do I need to bribe to get an HE ipv6 shirt? :) (better than penguin!)
[21:41] <jyo> pleia2: Do the IPv6 certification thing and get sage: http://ipv6.he.net/certification/
[21:42] <pleia2> hmm, I'm not running a mailserver w/ ipv6 but MJ is..
