unsupported

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

looks like support for my ati graphics card has been dropped. and wont work in ubuntu 9.10 with the closed source drivers:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]

was trying the ati driver and didnt know why it gave a glitch screen but turns out the resolution was too high i really want to use resolutions for my tv. may have to look at getting a nvidia card. sigh :(

new modem and wireless

dns nameservers

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

oh man i knew it was a dns problem i just couldnt remember where the numbers went.
so if your lan networking is going but you get:
ping: unknown host google.com
etc. then adding your isps dns nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf is a good bet. hurray!

for my orcon
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 60.234.1.1
nameserver 60.234.2.2
