deper29I follewed the directions here, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml and it kind of fixed it. my splash screen has the proper resolution for the logo, but the screen is the wrong size and doesn't actually fill my monitor. grub is still the wrong resolution as well03:01

kristian-aalborgcheers12:57
kristian-aalborgso, I'm on Lucid12:57
kristian-aalborgand I need a simple text editor, but both Abiword and Ted won't really work12:58
Sidewindergedit is probably installed, by default, if that works for you.12:59
Unit193Simple would be nano or leafpad.12:59
kristian-aalborgyeah, I'm starting to think Gedit too13:03
kristian-aalborgor this could be my reason to go Vim13:03
kristian-aalborg(which I have wanted to do for years)13:04
Unit193Since you're looking for more of an advanced one, scite or geany?13:04
kristian-aalborgI'm not really looking for advanced, Vim is what you make it :)13:07
kristian-aalborgbut will look into those, Unit19313:08
madlatvian  I think you should learn Vi13:54
madlatviannot vim13:54
bioterrorwhy?13:55
bioterrorvim > vi13:55
SidewinderBy one letter..13:56
