[09:40] Morning. [10:00] Morning [10:00] hi rmg51 [10:00] o/ [12:35] morning [12:43] morning [13:11] Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else [13:18] good morning [13:18] this ice outside is ridiculous [13:32] let's go ice skating [13:34] well i have seen some cars out there ice skating this morning. [14:28] no bueno [15:22] http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/go-home-car-youre-drunk-meme.jpg [15:29] It looks like it was doing the right thing by taking the train. [15:51] haha good point [17:44] My graphics are now toast darnit. [17:45] stupid nvidia [17:47] I was trying to get my external monitor to work, which I did, but it breaks everything else. [17:50] Using proprietary kern mods? [17:50] I had the nvidia binary driver installed. [17:51] I'm removing it now, but thats non-ideal, since I do a bit of gaming on here. [17:51] :( [17:52] I hear ya. Which card? [17:54] NVS 420 [17:54] I think [17:54] * JonathanD confirms [17:54] 4200M rather [17:55] oddly another but I've been chasing seems to have resolved itself along this ride. [17:56] my touchpad no longer re-enables itself every time I reboot/login. [17:56] Small victory for the win [17:56] 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] It seems I'm not the only one. [17:57] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11389152/vga-monitor-wont-work-after-nvidia-driver-update-on-ubuntu-12-04 [17:57] 295 is pretty old though. [17:59] yeah, that it is. [17:59] Several improvements to GPU performance since that release. [17:59] I might just try installing it again. [17:59] see what happens. [18:01] Worth a shot. [18:01] Are you sure it wasn't just loss of config magic? [18:01] I mean, after enabling i usually have a couple of strange reboots until I get everything setup via nvidia-configuration-manager [18:02] lazypower: nah, it never worked. [18:02] I just never bothered to look into it til today. [18:02] beyond plugging things in and stuff [18:03] Ok :) [18:04] reinstalling it [18:04] probably crash again lol [18:08] here goes nothing. [18:09] now it boots to a black screen \o/ [18:11] mine does that [18:11] progress [18:11] lightdm fixes it :P [18:13] arg [18:14] SUCCESS [18:14] 400x300 though [18:14] but success. [18:15] someone count hte fields on settings->displays for me? [18:15] specifically tab stops from resolution to ok or whatever [18:21] do you need all the fields? Or do you just want the 1280x960 resolution for 1080p? [18:22] it's more broken then that I guess. [18:22] *sigh* [18:23] I'm going to nuke nvidia again and just use the open source driver for now [18:29] blah [18:29] I'm stuck with potatoscreen [18:31] :( [18:32] can I use google docs from curl? :) [18:32] use nc and send the invididual hits back and forth [18:33] s/hits/bits/ [18:33] seems reasonable [18:38] Would anyone like to place bets on what other thing I Break trying to get graphics working? [18:38] I'm going to end up reinstalling :/ [18:53] Ugh dont say that [18:53] we can fix it [18:53] I have graphics again. [18:53] and dual monitors [18:53] but no accel [18:53] lol [18:53] If nothing, my optimism will will it to work [18:54] at least I can work now... giving up until tomorrow. [18:55] JonathanD, are you familiar with PGP keys? [18:58] Yes. [18:58] ooh [18:58] I uploaded a public PGP key to keyserver.ubuntu.com but when searching by fingerprint it comes up with no results. [18:58] new "feature" [18:58] A0FB 9052 3499 42D8 DBF5 42CC D5B4 3AD2 BF48 37AF [18:58] thats the proper format for a signature right? [19:01] Oh, its in there I was searching by the key fingerprint. My mistake [19:03] oops [19:09] coffee++ [20:37] 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] Which is fine by me. [20:44] Well.. again small victories n'at [21:05] n'at? [21:08] what's wrong with n'at? [21:10] Nothing in particular, aside from that I don't know what it means... [21:10] short for "and that" or "etc" [21:10] it does? [21:11] ah, it appears to be a quaint pittsburghian expression [21:11] you misspelled "perfectly acceptable English" [21:13] 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] sounds fine to me :) [21:13] Exactly my point! [21:13] drives my wife nuts though [21:13] (she's from Michigan) [21:14] Most of us on this side of the state add "to be". [21:14] we're just more efficient [21:15] This sentence needs verbed. [21:15] I suppose that's what cold and snow and rooting for the Steelahs does to y'uns. :) [21:16] yinz [21:16] ;) [21:16] w/e [21:16] <3 [21:16] And with that I will refrain from texting in irc.
