wastrel etsb, try delete, esc, f10, other esc keys
ablyss 15 years of computer hobbying and from day 1 I always called it execut key.. bad habbit hard to break
wastrel etsb, or look it up on google if you know your mobo manufacturer or what bios you're running
etsb wastrel midwinter can i restart in dos and from there go to bios?
wastrel no
LjL soundray: and still, what you experienced earlier is not quite normal. a few minutes of memtest won't hurt, that's all i'm saying - i'm not wishing you doom and gloom, i'm sure memtest won't find a thing
LjL ablyss: hah

tatters soundray only problem is I have to unmount the partiton , how can I do that when its running on the partition?
midwinter LjL, I was actually joking.. but I sadly do use it in vmware

soundray LjL, doesn't hurt to run memtest overnight, does it?
LjL billgates: please don't

* marta has quit (Client Quit)
etsb billgates : we have no need for your Windows Media Player II
LjL soundray: it definitely doesn't, memtest needs a *long* time to really find out the subtler errors (if you look on the site, they'll probably mention *days*, not one night). so if you can leave it on during the night without much of a hassle, by all means do it
soundray billgates, any discussion is futile until you place all Windows sources under GPL v3
* null (n=null@g624-9034.itee.uq.edu.au) has joined #ubuntu
krusbjorn Hey, I have no blank CDs and the ubuntu installer refuses to mount i dvd with the cd iso on. Possible to fix this?
LjL soundray: though if it *is* somewhat a hassle, don't do it, i don't think one night of memtest is really warranted here, in a practical sense

* Eleaf (n=ethan@209.193.87.14) has joined #ubuntu
wastrel i ate too many cookies and now i don't feel so good
LjL midwinter: actually, firefox on wine looks better than native firefox here
soundray LjL, I'm just thinking of setting it off and going to sleep. Watching memtest becomes incredibly tedious after the first 55 seconds.
macsat111 i have a mac running minimal ubuntu. how do i get it to find my internet?

LjL soundray: oh. really? then it must be something wrong with me... just kidding

LjL tatters: nah. a versioning file system would be way better, i'd really like one
hollywoodb how do I get rid of this X-enabled vim and back to good 'ol console vim ?

LjL tatters: ever used CVS?
tatters nope
navarone etsb did you try the "del" key by the keypad to get to bios?
billgates Yes. System restore would be nice. We would like to support the Ubuntu community. We are as of now planning on affiliating with Debian and Ubuntu.
etsb navarone : yes
navarone etsb making sure numlock is on
* Hobbsee has quit (Connection timed out)
tatters ill look into it
LjL tatters: well, anyway, to make it short, with a versioning filesystem you could say "open this file, but not the current version, the version of yesterday at 3pm"
* adrian has quit ("Leaving")
