was he drunk & high? incompetent? malevolent? what in the actual fucking fuck?
>waste some guys time with some multi monitor bug >didnt backup before handing your computer to a guy who will inevitably restart it Both of you are retarded
Aiden Bell
he could have just said no or pretend to be busy
Austin Miller
>Little do you kbow the new Ubuntu 18.4 operates on thermo dimensional quantum computing
my boss literally told me to ask that guy if I have any problems he's hired to do it! I would have put in a good word for him if he was good at it
Dominic Thomas
that's why you don't use anything linux for work
Austin Cruz
Certainly not for your desktop os. What morons.
Juan Garcia
Why didn't you back up your session before handing it off to an IT? The entire point of Linux being customization; there are bound to be conflicts between the setup of new user like yourself and the existing IT department protocol. My opinion is that you should try and make it right with that tech (don't go talking above his head, you were hired 2 days ago) and study on your off-time how to automate the initial setup process - that way restoration does not involve tech and your work relationships do not suffer.
Colton Adams
I lost no work because he shut down my computer. closing windows and connections is just inconvenient (but he didnt ask and didnt know that)
what really annoys me is that he closed my browser tabs and overwrote the session restore because I had to find retrieve them one by one from my history that is not something I can prevent him from doing, its just straight up inconsiderate
Blake Lewis
Why didn't the IT guy do that before closing/erasing everything? It's common sense. Sounds like you're white knighting him.
shouldn't have used Linux if you don't have the brain cells for it. did u try running xrandr, just to see if the monitor shows up in the first place? then it's just as simple as figuring out the correct xrandr command to set ur shit straight and placing it in your session init
Luke Butler
welcome to the real office world where everybody is an npc pretending to know what they do.
William Wright
>asking IT for tech support This was your first problem
Nolan Rogers
He was clearly dabbing on you being an idiot and wasting his time.
Cameron Young
Xrandr/arandr literally just works, gnomelet.
Luis Gutierrez
he had one screen on his desk, didnt he?
Gavin Price
>deactivates all my installed programs using vim Ask me how I know you're just making up bullshit
Caleb Evans
all i saw was him commenting out programs using vim, i presume he deactivated them or removed them from the registry its not like he explained
Hunter Price
maybe dont use TVs as your monitors, op
Chase Martinez
>oots my pc without warning which closes all my open terminals and conne Truth
