[17:37:06] <tensorpudding> many people have had issues with ATi and GNOME 3 [17:37:11] <escott> Stockholm_Angel, supposedly just hit enter type live and hit enter again [17:37:14] <tensorpudding> this could be related to it [17:37:16] <pengw> GNOME3 is a joke [17:37:27] <y0ungn3rd95> tensorpudding It is ATI own thing coz it’s a proprietary driver and not open source [17:37:31] <tensorpudding> ATi’s drivers have never been the best [17:37:50] <glebihan> srk9, the average user doesn’t even think about reinstalling all the packages on his system [17:38:01] <y0ungn3rd95> tensorpudding yup tht’s real bullshit [17:38:09] <Exxon> y0ungn3rd95, you can give it a try but backup the xorg and then install..and it works good it it don’t remane it and back to normal [17:38:38] <tensorpudding> y0ungn3rd95, i know that the thing in additional drivers is made by ati [17:38:45] <y0ungn3rd95> Exxon How do I backup XORG? [17:38:46] <tensorpudding> but the installer that ati produces should work too [17:38:46] <srk9> glebihan: Or recovering from a bad hard drive? [17:38:58] <srk9> y0ungn3rd95: Why would you want to backup xorg? [17:39:08] <srk9> y0ungn3rd95: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:39:12] <tensorpudding> you don’t have to back up anything, you almost surely don’t have an xorg.conf file written [17:39:15] <Exxon> simply cp *.backup [17:39:27] <y0ungn3rd95> To try install ATI driver manually on blackbuntu [17:39:32] <srk9> If he has none, he can do “Xorg -configure -retro” [17:39:43] <tensorpudding> you don’t want to create one unless you know what you’re doing [17:39:50] <srk9> It should generate one for him. He can Alt+F1 to get out of it and then Ctrl+C X dead. [17:40:10] <srk9> tensorpudding: It will be educational: http://xkcd.com/963/ [17:40:13] <tensorpudding> the ati driver might create one for you, but in which case you can just delete it [17:40:15] <Exxon> y0ungn3rd95, blackubuntu is not supported in this session. [17:40:49] <mael> exit [17:41:05] <y0ungn3rd95> Exxon but I cant get a solution this driving me mad
