[03:22] <thafreak> Ok...when did they change how top works???
[03:27] <dzho> yeah
[03:27] <dzho> I used to do "top b n 1" or some such in scripts
[03:27] <dzho> now I've got to put the dashes
[03:28] <dzho> thafreak: no one can leave well enough alone
[03:28] <yano> :o
[03:28]  * yano prefers htop
[03:52] <thafreak> well, I got used to being able to easily sort by memory usage instead of cpu usage
[03:52] <thafreak> and it doesn't work the same way now :(
[03:52] <thafreak> had to look at the help!!
[03:53] <yano> :o
[03:53] <yano> oh my
[03:54] <thafreak> so I'm on my kubuntu quantal laptop now...compiz isn't running...
[03:54] <thafreak> must be why it doesn't suck
[03:55] <yano> i'm trying to rescue a debian squeeze => wheezy upgrade that didn't work out
[03:56] <thafreak> really?
[03:56] <thafreak> I don't think I've ever seen a debian upgrade fail...
[03:56] <thafreak> unlike ubuntu upgrades :)
[03:56] <yano> i think it's my video drivers
[03:56] <yano> i had proprietary drivers installed
[03:57] <thafreak> ah
[03:57] <yano> and when i boot, i get nothing, keyboard doesn't work, nothing on them onitor
[03:57] <thafreak> can you boot to single mode?
[03:59] <yano> i forget how to do that
[03:59] <yano> i do know this isn't working: http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-reset-debian-root-password.html
[04:00] <yano> because conventiently i've forgotten my root password as well
[04:00] <yano> heh
[04:19] <thafreak> If you can get the grub menu to come up, and edit the boot options, you can go to single mode
[04:19] <thafreak> and change the root password there as well
[04:26] <yano> hm

[12:54] <thafreak> So, I don't get it...
[12:54] <thafreak> I'm working on my laptop at home today
[12:54] <thafreak> It's been "running" for 43 days (sleeping really for most of the time)
[12:55] <thafreak> And compiz isn't using gobs of memory on it...
[12:55] <thafreak> exact same cpu as my work desktop...same amount of ram
[12:55] <thafreak> only real difference I can tell, is my work box has an ati, and this I think is intel graphics
[13:50] <yano> i got my debian install to work last night
[13:50] <yano> sudo mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak
[13:50] <yano> \o/
[15:31] <thafreak> ha...nice
[15:32] <thafreak> I haven't touch xorg.conf in ages...i still have nightmares from olden days ;)
[15:54] <Unit193> canthus13: Not sure you're still into it, but BackTrack is now (basically) Kali linux, and Debian based. http://www.backtrack-linux.org/backtrack/kali-linux-has-been-released/#more-3985 (http://www.kali.org/)
[15:55] <canthus13> Nice.
[15:58] <yano> anyone ever hear of Mageia?
[15:58] <Unit193> Yep.
[15:58] <yano> it's #2 on distrowatch
[15:58] <yano> i've never heard of it
[18:53] <thafreak> it's what used to be mandriva at one point...
