| brobostigon | morning | 11:25 |
| daftykins | https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/02/17/who_me/ not a bad one today | 11:42 |
| gargoyle | He he... Well I shall not be casting any stones. I remember exactly where I was when I discovered that oracle db version of MySQL's LOAD DATA IN FILE replaces the contents of the target table and does not append to it! | 14:55 |
| daftykins | :D | 14:56 |
| zxmoypi | it's the little differences.... /geek pulp fiction | 14:57 |
| zxmoypi | grrrr, i changed the res on a new system to rez the monitor can't handle and now i can't set it back... | 16:26 |
| daftykins | Pi or something else? | 16:27 |
| zxmoypi | xubuntu on a new hp mini desktop. an ancient vga monitor is all i have | 16:28 |
| zxmoypi | i can boot up and access disk via usb with generic install of xubuntu. thought i could delete a monitors.xml file as suggested online but no sign of it | 16:28 |
| daftykins | remind me to gift you the next free monitor i encounter :) | 16:29 |
| zxmoypi | i suspect i'll just get a cheapy one from argos. i kinda keep meaning to anyway. just annoying is all. i could wipe it and start again but the 300gb of files tranferred on would need to be done again :-) | 16:30 |
| zxmoypi | used to be when you changed rez it would autochange back after 30 seconds if you didn't say it worked ok. handy feature that :-) | 16:31 |
| daftykins | do you have SSH enabled? | 16:31 |
| zxmoypi | i didn't enable it | 16:32 |
| zxmoypi | hadn't gotten that far yet | 16:32 |
| daftykins | doh | 16:32 |
| zxmoypi | yeah | 16:32 |
| zxmoypi | i could just make it to argos before they shut if i limped off now... :-) | 16:32 |
| zxmoypi | o/ | 16:32 |
| daftykins | good luck! | 16:33 |
| zxmoypi | huzzah, a little ctrl-alt-f1; a smidge of X :1 -configure ; and a final sudo cp xorg.conf.new to right location seems to have swung it :-) | 21:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:27 |
| zxmoypi | scribbles not in vim log for future prevention of wailing and gnashing of teeth :-) | 21:27 |
| daftykins | are you sporting a super shiny display with modern digital inputs and go-faster stripes now, then? | 21:27 |
| zxmoypi | nah, being a cheap sod i decided to wait and see if i could find a cheap hdmi monitor in charity shop in town that sells recycled pcs on friday when i will be nearby | 21:28 |
| zxmoypi | if that had of failed i would have tried a new monitor but only perhaps after trying to install a second xubuntu install and move data from wonky install to good install and then remove wonky install | 21:29 |
| daftykins | ah poking around from a live session would've been easy peasy! | 21:30 |
| zxmoypi | that's why i was trying the usb drive with live xubuntu i installed from to see if i could find the wonkiness | 21:30 |
| zxmoypi | of course searching online found many ways for different ?ubuntus and different versions. | 21:31 |
| zxmoypi | still easier than the time i got an out of memory message on excel in windows 3.1 days :-) | 21:34 |
| daftykins | yeah results are always from so long in the past that the wheel has been reinvented many times over | 21:38 |
| zxmoypi | and the names of all the major players have changed. just flip the mode access standby button.... the wha.....? the off switch! :-) | 21:39 |
