| lazypower | http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/go-home-car-youre-drunk-meme.jpg | 15:22 |
| ChinnoDog | It looks like it was doing the right thing by taking the train. | 15:29 |
| lazypower | haha good point | 15:51 |
| JonathanD | My graphics are now toast darnit. | 17:44 |
| JonathanD | stupid nvidia | 17:45 |
| JonathanD | I was trying to get my external monitor to work, which I did, but it breaks everything else. | 17:47 |
| lazypower | Using proprietary kern mods? | 17:50 |
| JonathanD | I had the nvidia binary driver installed. | 17:50 |
| JonathanD | I'm removing it now, but thats non-ideal, since I do a bit of gaming on here. | 17:51 |
| waltman | :( | 17:51 |
| lazypower | I hear ya. Which card? | 17:52 |
| JonathanD | NVS 420 | 17:54 |
| JonathanD | I think | 17:54 |
| * JonathanD confirms | 17:54 | |
| JonathanD | 4200M rather | 17:54 |
| JonathanD | oddly another but I've been chasing seems to have resolved itself along this ride. | 17:55 |
| JonathanD | my touchpad no longer re-enables itself every time I reboot/login. | 17:56 |
| lazypower | Small victory for the win | 17:56 |
| lazypower | I'm running a 550Ti, With the cards being so radically different i don't think my anecdotal findings will be of much help | 17:56 |
| JonathanD | It seems I'm not the only one. | 17:56 |
| JonathanD | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11389152/vga-monitor-wont-work-after-nvidia-driver-update-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 17:57 |
| JonathanD | 295 is pretty old though. | 17:57 |
| lazypower | yeah, that it is. | 17:59 |
| lazypower | Several improvements to GPU performance since that release. | 17:59 |
| JonathanD | I might just try installing it again. | 17:59 |
| JonathanD | see what happens. | 17:59 |
| lazypower | Worth a shot. | 18:01 |
| lazypower | Are you sure it wasn't just loss of config magic? | 18:01 |
| lazypower | I mean, after enabling i usually have a couple of strange reboots until I get everything setup via nvidia-configuration-manager | 18:01 |
| JonathanD | lazypower: nah, it never worked. | 18:02 |
| JonathanD | I just never bothered to look into it til today. | 18:02 |
| JonathanD | beyond plugging things in and stuff | 18:02 |
| lazypower | Ok :) | 18:03 |
| JonathanD | reinstalling it | 18:04 |
| JonathanD | probably crash again lol | 18:04 |
| JonathanD | here goes nothing. | 18:08 |
| JonathanD | now it boots to a black screen \o/ | 18:09 |
| lazypower | mine does that | 18:11 |
| lazypower | progress | 18:11 |
| lazypower | lightdm fixes it :P | 18:11 |
| JonathanD | arg | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | SUCCESS | 18:14 |
| JonathanD | 400x300 though | 18:14 |
| JonathanD | but success. | 18:14 |
| JonathanD | someone count hte fields on settings->displays for me? | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | specifically tab stops from resolution to ok or whatever | 18:15 |
| lazypower | do you need all the fields? Or do you just want the 1280x960 resolution for 1080p? | 18:21 |
| JonathanD | it's more broken then that I guess. | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | *sigh* | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | I'm going to nuke nvidia again and just use the open source driver for now | 18:23 |
| JonathanD | blah | 18:29 |
| JonathanD | I'm stuck with potatoscreen | 18:29 |
| waltman | :( | 18:31 |
| JonathanD | can I use google docs from curl? :) | 18:32 |
| waltman | use nc and send the invididual hits back and forth | 18:32 |
| waltman | s/hits/bits/ | 18:33 |
| JonathanD | seems reasonable | 18:33 |
| JonathanD | Would anyone like to place bets on what other thing I Break trying to get graphics working? | 18:38 |
| JonathanD | I'm going to end up reinstalling :/ | 18:38 |
| lazypower | Ugh dont say that | 18:53 |
| lazypower | we can fix it | 18:53 |
| JonathanD | I have graphics again. | 18:53 |
| JonathanD | and dual monitors | 18:53 |
| JonathanD | but no accel | 18:53 |
| JonathanD | lol | 18:53 |
| lazypower | If nothing, my optimism will will it to work | 18:53 |
| JonathanD | at least I can work now... giving up until tomorrow. | 18:54 |
| lazypower | JonathanD, are you familiar with PGP keys? | 18:55 |
| JonathanD | Yes. | 18:58 |
| JonathanD | ooh | 18:58 |
| lazypower | I uploaded a public PGP key to keyserver.ubuntu.com but when searching by fingerprint it comes up with no results. | 18:58 |
| JonathanD | new "feature" | 18:58 |
| lazypower | A0FB 9052 3499 42D8 DBF5 42CC D5B4 3AD2 BF48 37AF | 18:58 |
| lazypower | thats the proper format for a signature right? | 18:58 |
| lazypower | Oh, its in there I was searching by the key fingerprint. My mistake | 19:01 |
| JonathanD | oops | 19:03 |
| waltman | coffee++ | 19:09 |
| JonathanD | lazypower: I've determined I didn't actually fix the touchpad issue, I just broke it so badly taht it doesn't work anymore. | 20:37 |
| JonathanD | Which is fine by me. | 20:37 |
| lazypower | Well.. again small victories n'at | 20:44 |
| waltman | n'at? | 21:05 |
| ssweeny | what's wrong with n'at? | 21:08 |
| waltman | Nothing in particular, aside from that I don't know what it means... | 21:10 |
| ssweeny | short for "and that" or "etc" | 21:10 |
| waltman | it does? | 21:10 |
| waltman | ah, it appears to be a quaint pittsburghian expression | 21:11 |
| ssweeny | you misspelled "perfectly acceptable English" | 21:11 |
| waltman | All I'm saying is that people who say "The car needs washed" have an odd concept of proper English. | 21:13 |
| * ssweeny doesn't get it | 21:13 | |
| ssweeny | sounds fine to me :) | 21:13 |
| waltman | Exactly my point! | 21:13 |
| ssweeny | drives my wife nuts though | 21:13 |
| ssweeny | (she's from Michigan) | 21:13 |
| waltman | Most of us on this side of the state add "to be". | 21:14 |
| ssweeny | we're just more efficient | 21:14 |
| waltman | This sentence needs verbed. | 21:15 |
| waltman | I suppose that's what cold and snow and rooting for the Steelahs does to y'uns. :) | 21:15 |
| lazypower | yinz | 21:16 |
| lazypower | ;) | 21:16 |
| waltman | w/e | 21:16 |
| lazypower | <3 | 21:16 |
| lazypower | And with that I will refrain from texting in irc. | 21:16 |
