<zamarax> q: I am using this tutorial to install the ati driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766 and when I get to this part 'sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv' I get the error Warning: Could not find configuration file

<zamarax> Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11, any idea's?

<johanbr> zamarax: fglrx is already packaged for ubuntu, it's better to use that. Anyway, it sounds like /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist.

<zamarax> no, it does, it's there

<zamarax> I'm trying to enable xgl, it's not allowing me with the current drivers

<johanbr> In that case I don't know what the problem is.

<Madpilot> Burgundavia, you back home yet?

<Burgundavia> see planet

<tonyyarusso> "I could tell my family...or the whole world and hope they catch on."

<Madpilot> tonyyarusso, was just thinking something along those lines... :P

<Madpilot> Burgundavia, good trip, anyway?

<Burgundavia> yep

<Madpilot> did you take a camera?

<tonyyarusso> hey PFA

<PFA> hi tonyyarusso =)

<PFA> can you help me with helix player? :|

<tonyyarusso> doubt it - never tried

<PFA> darn

<PFA> thanks anyway

<PFA> so what's new?

<tonyyarusso> I placed my order for a new bike on Friday.

<tonyyarusso> I'm excited (and broke-ish)

<PFA> heh, nice =)

<tonyyarusso> Hehe

<tonyyarusso> Just don't break anything - it's a pretty penny

<tonyyarusso> Then there's the shoes (black): http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/equip/07ShoeProRoad_All_l.jpg

<PFA> hahah... nice... the black are definitely the best

<PFA> who in their right mind would wear the orange ones?!

<PFA> jesus

<PFA> lol

<wikityler> who here is using feisty with multiple nics?

<PFA> hahahaha i dont mean jesus would wear the orange shoes. although he might!

<PFA> wikityler: fwha?

<tonyyarusso> Their sponsored pros wear orange, though I don't quite get why

<tonyyarusso> also the black of these gloves: http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/equip/07GloveBGGelShort_All_l.jpg

<PFA> are they from the netherlands?

<wikityler> pfa: becuse i have a nic, and a wnic, and when ever i boot up, it doesn't connect on either, and i want it to automaticaly connect to the lan on the nic.

<tonyyarusso> Netherlands? what?

<PFA> what the heck is a nic?

<tonyyarusso> network interface card

<PFA> yeah, the netherlands

<PFA> they're all into orange, aren't they?

<tonyyarusso> Oh, right. It's the Gerolsteiner and Quickstep-Innergetic teams - you do the Googling

<matjan> orange.. dutch... i should know

<matjan> yes, we are

<matjan> our royal house last name is 'of orange'

<tonyyarusso> And my super-ventilated carbon-fibre reinforced helmet (white): http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/equip/07HelmetDecibel_B2C_l.jpg

<matjan> tonyyarusso, nice bike btw

<tonyyarusso> matjan: Thanks :) Now I just have to wait for it to ship.

<tonyyarusso> and a computer: http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/equip/06ComputerTurboElite_l.jpg

<matjan> did you have too much money ;-)?

<tonyyarusso> And lastly, pedals - was hoping for http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/trisports_1951_111562039, but they're not available atm, so I might go for http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/trisports_1951_108367244 (in last year's model).

<tonyyarusso> matjan: Apparently. teehee

<matjan> :)

<tonyyarusso> My favorite game lately - let's play "Guess the price tags"!

<matjan> anyhow... nice outfit

<PFA> im guessing the whole thing cost you >$1500 CAD

<matjan> hehe

<PFA> but im horrible with money

<PFA> and prices and stuff

<PFA> sooooooo im probably completely off

<matjan> i'd say >3000

<tonyyarusso> matjan's closer

<tonyyarusso> Well, kind of

<tonyyarusso> I'm having you guess the retail price (I get it discounted)

<matjan> i'd say >5000

* tonyyarusso runs off to convert to CDN while you guess

<matjan> :)

<PFA> HEY GUYS the canadian dolla is at 91 cents!

<PFA> whatsup with that yo

<tonyyarusso> holy crap...

<PFA> what?

<matjan> it means cheaper trips into the us ;-)

<tonyyarusso> yeah, bad if I want to go back and visit my canuck friends though

<matjan> instead of paying a gazillion dollars for a big mac on times square

<matjan> true

*** blimpdude is now known as pppoe_dude

<tonyyarusso> Yeah, matjan's second guess was pretty good

<tonyyarusso> "4,795.00 USD

<tonyyarusso> =

<tonyyarusso> 5,221.30 CAD"

<matjan> woowee

<tonyyarusso> :S

<matjan> that's like 5 modest hardrock mountain bikes

<tonyyarusso> I'm paying about 2,700 CDN for the lot though.

<matjan> nice

<matjan> PFA, how did you know about the dutch and orange?

<PFA> from the world cup... i asked my mom why the dutch were wearing such a hideous colour and she explained about william of orange and whatnot ;P

<matjan> right

<matjan> that's us

<matjan> i am from that silly country

<johanbr> William of Orange? My unreliable memory connects that name with Northern Ireland, for some reason.

<Madpilot> Old Bill of Orange - his family was from France originally - same Orange as "duck l'orange"

<matjan> johanbr, that was another willem of orange

<matjan> but yeah, he is connected there

<johanbr> Oh, I see. I wasn't completely off, then. :)

<matjan> the one pfa mentioned was killed in 1586, the one in northern ireland is from the early 1800

<matjan> killed, i.e. murdered

<matjan> the first one is considered the father of our country

* tonyyarusso should start a country

<matjan> tonyyarusso, mwoah... you just need a new president ;-)

<Madpilot> tonyyarusso, find an old oil rig far enough offshore. Do the Sealand thing.

<tonyyarusso> matjan: well, and 90% of the other positions

<matjan> that comes with it

<tonyyarusso> Madpilot: we're trying to get _away_ from the gov't based on oil interests

<Madpilot> I'm waiting for the American bumper stickers that say "Thank God It's Not Shrub Anymore: 2008" ;)

<matjan> shrub?

* matjan dives into his english-dutch dictionary

<tonyyarusso> uh...

* tonyyarusso hopes it's an e-d thesaurus

<matjan> :)

<matjan> not listed

<johanbr> It's a play on words with "Bush".

<matjan> ahh... is it shrub as in shrubbery?

<johanbr> yes

<matjan> shrubbery.... reminds me of monty python

<johanbr> The one where they blow it up?

<PFA> i dont get why people call him shrub?

<PFA> i understand that a bush is a shrub

<PFA> but i fail to see the humour value

<matjan> johanbr, in the holy grail

<matjan> the land of the people that say ni

<tonyyarusso> PFA: It's to get around the censors

<PFA> ???

<johanbr> matjan: Oh, right. I was thinking of the Flying Circus sketch where there's a guy hiding behind bushes and they start blowing them up.

<matjan> right, right

<matjan> hilarious too

<PFA> all i know about monty python is SPAM and "'es pinin' for the fjords!"

<matjan> the spam sketch is quite legendary

<tonyyarusso> and the Spanish Inquisition

<johanbr> I just noticed both my upload and download are almost exactly halved when I'm connected via my router, either wireless or wired. Does anyone have a guess why?

<matjan> :D

<PFA> the one that nobody expects?

<matjan> that one

<PFA> johanbr: because it's a router! lmao

<PFA> the data has to go through an extra hurdle... of course its gonna be slower

<johanbr> PFA: Sure, but speed cut in half?

<matjan> but half?

<Madpilot> matjan, fetch me a.... shrubbery!

<matjan> :D

<matjan> whouahh

<Madpilot> PFA, 'shrub' because he's George Bush Jr - a small Bush is a Shrub, right?

<matjan> spanish inquisition, our 4 weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatic devotion to the pope

<matjan> aka darth sidius ;-)

<Madpilot> parrot sketch, SPAM sketch, Spanish Inquisition sketch - PFA, that's Python summed up nicely, actually. You should know the Sperm Song too, I guess.

<PFA> "every sperm is sacred"?

<matjan> Madpilot, do not forget the ministry of silly walks

<PFA> catholic before you're born etc?

<Madpilot> PFA, "medical experiments for the lot of you, I'm afraid..." etc

<PFA> ive actually never seen the spam or spanish inquisition ones

<PFA> just heard about them

<Madpilot> your education has been sadly lacking

<PFA> now that i think about it

<PFA> i think i saw one of the movies

<PFA> the meaning of life maybe?

<PFA> i thought it was really overrated

<matjan> PFA, youtube

<PFA> i HATE youtube

<PFA> i refuse to even touch that site

<matjan> ok, why?

<PFA> because i hate flash player, and watching videos, and the idiotic stuff that gets spewed there

<tonyyarusso> since losing its position as "The Daily Show" outlet, it's not as cool

<Madpilot> Well, Python sketches are *classical* idiotic stuff, so they're OK on YouTube ;)

<matjan> Madpilot, good one

<tonyyarusso> true

<PFA> colbert > tds

<tonyyarusso> nah, I prefer Jon

<Madpilot> python uber alles.

<PFA> jon stewart isnt funny

<PFA> he just kind of reads the news in a sarcastic tone of voice

<matjan> quote from the globe&mail by an M$ guy: "... Windows is more secure because [it] has more experience dealing with security attacks..."

<johanbr> Heh. That's like saying Baghdad is safer than Saskatoon because it has more experience in dealing with bomb attacks.

<matjan> exactly

<tonyyarusso> Or that Rudy Guiliani would be better to protect us from a terrorist attack because he was mayor when one happened under his nose.
