[10:00] <rmg51> Morning
[10:00] <JonathanD> hi rmg51
[10:00] <rmg51> o/
[12:35] <pvl1> morning
[12:43] <jedijf> morning
[13:11] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[13:18] <kasted> good morning
[13:18] <kasted> this ice outside is ridiculous
[13:32] <teddy-dbear> let's go ice skating
[13:34] <kasted> well i have seen some cars out there ice skating this morning.
[14:28] <pvl1> no bueno
[15:22] <lazypower> http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/go-home-car-youre-drunk-meme.jpg
[15:29] <ChinnoDog> It looks like it was doing the right thing by taking the train.
[15:51] <lazypower> haha good point
[17:44] <JonathanD> My graphics are now toast darnit.
[17:45] <JonathanD> stupid nvidia
[17:47] <JonathanD> I was trying to get my external monitor to work, which I did, but it breaks everything else.
[17:50] <lazypower> Using proprietary kern mods?
[17:50] <JonathanD> I had the nvidia binary driver installed.
[17:51] <JonathanD> I'm removing it now, but thats non-ideal, since I do a bit of gaming on here.
[17:51] <waltman> :(
[17:52] <lazypower> I hear ya. Which card?
[17:54] <JonathanD> NVS 420
[17:54] <JonathanD> I think
[17:54]  * JonathanD confirms
[17:54] <JonathanD> 4200M rather
[17:55] <JonathanD> oddly another but I've been chasing seems to have resolved itself along this ride.
[17:56] <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.
[17:57] <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.
[17:59] <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.
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <lazypower> Ok :)
[18:04] <JonathanD> reinstalling it
[18:04] <JonathanD> probably crash again lol
[18:08] <JonathanD> here goes nothing.
[18:09] <JonathanD> now it boots to a black screen \o/
[18:11] <lazypower> mine does that
[18:11] <lazypower> progress
[18:11] <lazypower> lightdm fixes it :P
[18:13] <JonathanD> arg
[18:14] <JonathanD> SUCCESS
[18:14] <JonathanD> 400x300 though
[18:14] <JonathanD> but success.
[18:15] <JonathanD> someone count hte fields on settings->displays for me?
[18:15] <JonathanD> specifically tab stops from resolution to ok or whatever
[18:21] <lazypower> do you need all the fields? Or do you just want the 1280x960 resolution for 1080p?
[18:22] <JonathanD> it's more broken then that I guess.
[18:22] <JonathanD> *sigh*
[18:23] <JonathanD> I'm going to nuke nvidia again and just use the open source driver for now
[18:29] <JonathanD> blah
[18:29] <JonathanD> I'm stuck with potatoscreen
[18:31] <waltman> :(
[18:32] <JonathanD> can I use google docs from curl? :)
[18:32] <waltman> use nc and send the invididual hits back and forth
[18:33] <waltman> s/hits/bits/
[18:33] <JonathanD> seems reasonable
[18:38] <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 :/
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <JonathanD> at least I can work now... giving up until tomorrow.
[18:55] <lazypower> JonathanD, are you familiar with PGP keys?
[18:58] <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?
[19:01] <lazypower> Oh, its in there I was searching by the key fingerprint. My mistake
[19:03] <JonathanD> oops
[19:09] <waltman> coffee++
[20:37] <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.
[20:44] <lazypower> Well.. again small victories n'at
[21:05] <waltman> n'at?
[21:08] <ssweeny> what's wrong with n'at?
[21:10] <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?
[21:11] <waltman> ah, it appears to be a quaint pittsburghian expression
[21:11] <ssweeny> you misspelled "perfectly acceptable English"
[21:13] <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)
[21:14] <waltman> Most of us on this side of the state add "to be".
[21:14] <ssweeny> we're just more efficient
[21:15] <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. :)
[21:16] <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.
