I installed a few updates, not sure what they were, but they messed up my video config. Is there a log I can view so I can uninstall the latest updates?

Oh, and some of the log files are an unrecognized file type, so I can't open them...
any help with that? The syslog is such an unrecognized file...
Are you trying tor read them as root? Maybe worth a try.
Other than that, I am not sure.

I'm learning pretty fast.
Next question:
I am trying to install phpBB. I have a LAMP stack.
Not sure how to use Chmod yet..
I'm guessing I have to change permissions on /var/www so I can write the PHPBB to it, then I think I use an FTP to upload the files? Or just copy them since its local...
Im not sure on that one. I don't do webdesign.

I guess I'll just log in as root and do it that way.

You can chmod, or chown the directory. I believe chmod u will set write permissions. It is much safer to chmod the directory to be writable and then change it back to read only instead of doing everything as root.
