[02:08] <b_dub> quick question, without too much involved, i just installed ubuntu 11.10 on another computer here...  actually just now got it to load up.... and it's asking if i want to upgrade to 12.04...  i haven't installed anything else on it yet...  in fact it was a mutt a cousin tossed my way and is just now back in working order...  i don't really have any plans for it other than trying to get some cool compiz graphics going on it (my cur
[02:54] <deper29> hi, I installed ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, and when I installed my proper video drivers, the resolution of my splash screen and grub turn terrible. is there a fix for this?
[03:01] <deper29> I 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 well

[08:11] <Muhammed-Rummane> hi
[08:11] <Muhammed-Rummane> all
[08:11] <Muhammed-Rummane> can anyone help me
[12:14] <madlatvian> hello
[12:16] <Sidewinder> Mornin'.
[12:16] <madlatvian> night here
[12:17] <madlatvian> side are you on unity or gnomw
[12:17] <madlatvian> gnome
[12:17] <Sidewinder> 10.04.
[12:17] <Sidewinder> Which is gnome2.
[12:18] <madlatvian> k
[12:19] <madlatvian> I work with aix hpux so i like to try the latest x
[12:19] <Sidewinder> What ever works best.. :)
[12:19] <madlatvian> don't like them but like to see what is going on
[12:20] <madlatvian> terminal always works
[12:21] <madlatvian> where are you from obviously a different hemisphere
[12:21] <Sidewinder> Pennsylvania, US; and you?
[12:22] <madlatvian> Brisbane Australia
[12:22] <Sidewinder> Kewl.
[12:23] <madlatvian> been to the US a couple of times mostly to ski
[12:24] <madlatvian> we got an Australian in the number one music chart first time in a while I've heard
[12:25] <Sidewinder> Kinda' off topic for this channel.. :)
[12:26] <silverlion> good day everyone. anyone experience with chromium getting chrashes while watching flash videos?
[12:26] <madlatvian> yeah probably
[12:27] <Sidewinder> silverlion, I don't use chromium, sorry.. :(
[12:28] <silverlion> Sidewinder: problem exists with Firefox too
[12:29] <madlatvian> I have a blue problem with you tube anyone know anything about that
[12:30] <madlatvian> hey Sidewinder I think any topic is cool ?
[12:31] <Sidewinder> silverlion, I'm not that accomplished at trouble-shooting flash problems; it always has 'just worked', on this old antique, of mine. :(
[12:34] <Sidewinder> madlatvian, There are channels, specifically for chit-chat; #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu-beginners-team leap to mind. Not that it's that busy, in here, today. :-)
[12:57] <kristian-aalborg> cheers
[12:57] <kristian-aalborg> so, I'm on Lucid
[12:58] <kristian-aalborg> and I need a simple text editor, but both Abiword and Ted won't really work
[12:59] <Sidewinder> gedit is probably installed, by default, if that works for you.
[12:59] <Unit193> Simple would be nano or leafpad.
[13:03] <kristian-aalborg> yeah, I'm starting to think Gedit too
[13:03] <kristian-aalborg> or this could be my reason to go Vim
[13:04] <kristian-aalborg> (which I have wanted to do for years)
[13:04] <Unit193> Since you're looking for more of an advanced one, scite or geany?
[13:07] <kristian-aalborg> I'm not really looking for advanced, Vim is what you make it :)
[13:08] <kristian-aalborg> but will look into those, Unit193
[13:54] <madlatvian>   I think you should learn Vi
[13:54] <madlatvian> not vim
[13:55] <bioterror> why?
[13:55] <bioterror> vim > vi
[13:56] <Sidewinder> By one letter..
[13:57] <kristian-aalborg> the "m" supposedly means "(i)mproved"
[13:57] <bioterror> yes
[13:58] <madlatvian> ibm only had vi
[13:59] <bioterror> ? :D
[14:48] <madlatvian> anyon=e in brisbane a grad ????
[22:49] <kristian-aalborg> okay,
[22:49] <kristian-aalborg> so I have a bunch of folders with one image in each... I want thubms of those images
[22:49] <kristian-aalborg> what do I do?
[22:50] <stlsaint> kristian-aalborg: i dont understand what you mean?
[22:51] <kristian-aalborg> I want to see thumbnails of the pictures in all these folders in one place
[22:55] <stlsaint> oh...crap i dunno
[22:57] <kristian-aalborg> I'm starting to think feh might be able to do it, but it's a bit tricky to use
[23:05] <kristian-aalborg> stlsaint, feh -r -. /foo/
[23:05] <kristian-aalborg> -. is an obscure thing to use, but...
[23:06] <stlsaint> lol i never heard of feh
[23:07] <kristian-aalborg> it is great, unfortunately I think development stopped
[23:17] <stlsaint> any folks viable with networking in here?
[23:17] <stlsaint> bodhi_zazen: man i didnt see you sneak in here
[23:18] <kristian-aalborg> stlsaint, there's a #networking, I believe
[23:18] <kristian-aalborg> I was kicked from it once, first and only time it has happened :O
[23:19] <stlsaint> kristian-aalborg: i thought about that but thats a networking channel for worldwide networking issues. Probably more crowded than ubuntu main
[23:19] <kristian-aalborg> no
[23:19] <stlsaint> hrm, alright i will check
[23:43] <stlsaint> guess i was redirected else where
[23:54] <paul_> hi all does anyone know how to make my brother network printer work?
[23:54] <stlsaint> paul_: if it doesnt plug and play...nope
[23:57] <trinikrono> ubuntu cant do network printers?
[23:57] <stlsaint> trinikrono: oh, well yea
[23:57] <stlsaint> what model printer
