[00:07] Presonus_Probs: yes :) [00:07] im a total tard at linux...

[00:24] sudo lshw > ~/Desktop/lshw.txt [00:24] that should create a file on your desktop that you can paste into pastebin [00:25] and if you just dump the url straight into irc, we don't need to tweak it ourselves [00:27] do I need to create the .txt first [00:27] nope [00:27] #ubuntustudio [00:28] that what the '>' does [00:28] bash: -/Desktop/lshw.txt no such file [00:29] ~ not - [00:29] haha gotcha :P had to get close to my screen to see that one [00:29] heh [00:29] can you paste into terminal?
