[08:10] <nezemo> hi
[11:13] <jrib> ok let's do this step by step
[11:14] <PuRu> erm
[11:14] <jrib> are you at a terminal prompt now?
[11:14] <PuRu> i'm gonna have to start with a damn reinstall
[11:14] <PuRu> no i cant get in one anymore :s
[11:14] <jrib> what happens now?
[11:14] <PuRu> only file i've modified = xorg.conf
[11:14] <PuRu> sorry i start to think edgy = crap
[11:14] <PuRu> dapper didnt do this kind of stuff
[11:14] <PuRu> i just see a cursos on the top left
[11:15] <jrib> does ctrl-alt-f1 do anything?
[11:15] <PuRu> yeah
[11:15] <jrib> you get a terminal now?
[11:15] <PuRu> why doesn't it ask to log in :s
[11:15] <PuRu> yeah yeah i'm logged on now
[11:16] <PuRu> its just too weird that ubuntu doesnt ask to log in on itself :s
[11:16] <jrib> ok do this:
[11:16] <jrib> apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nv
[11:17] <PuRu> done
[11:17] <jrib> what does it say for "Installed:"
[11:17] <PuRu> 1.1.2.0
[11:17] <PuRu> 1:1.2.0-0ubuntu2
[11:17] <Crabman> are there only linux users ther???
[11:17] <jrib> Crabman: where?
[11:17] <nalioth> Crabman: may we help you?
[11:18] <Crabman> it's the first time i go on a irc
[11:18] <jrib> PuRu: when you reconfigured X, which driver did you choose?
[11:18] <PuRu> lol Crabman
[11:19] <PuRu> nv because i know for sure that that one works, i can try again with vesa
[11:19] <jrib> PuRu: what does this command say:
[11:19] <jrib> grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:19] <Crabman> i want to find a chat room with mac users do you have an adress?
[11:20] <nalioth> Crabman: ##apple
[11:20] <Crabman> thank you very much
[11:20] <PuRu> jrib, just a sec i allready tried again with vesa
[11:20] <jrib> ok
[11:20] <PuRu> gonna reboot first, then see what your command returns
[11:20] <PuRu> (reboot command = ?)
[11:21] <Crabman> how can you find these serveur
[11:21] <jrib> PuRu: sudo shutdown -r now
[11:21] <PuRu> thanx
[11:21] <jrib> PuRu: wait
[11:21] <jrib> PuRu: no need to restart, just do:  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[11:21] <PuRu> too late lol
[11:22] <PuRu> *praying for vesa driver to work*
[11:22] <PuRu> :-)
[11:22] <PuRu> vesa working
[11:23] <PuRu> finally a GUI again
[11:23] <nalioth> vesa always works  :)
[11:23] <PuRu> i know lol
[11:23] <PuRu> but nv normally also allways works on my lap...
[11:24] <PuRu> i ran macosx86 with vesa too
[11:24] <PuRu> and i actually couldnt complain about the 2D speed of the GUI
[11:24] <PuRu> but i really need the nvidia driver because i need my tv-out to be able to VJ with linux
[11:25] <PuRu> (i use gephex)
[11:25] <jrib> pastebin xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log
[11:25] <PuRu> ok
[11:25] <jrib> hmm well the log won't be helpful since it shows us the working one now I guess
[11:25] <PuRu> *installs xchat*
[11:26] <jrib> PuRu: I can't remember, you said this was an edgy upgrade?
[11:26] <PuRu> no upgrade
[11:26] <PuRu> clean install
[11:26] <PuRu> (but multiboot with grub)
[11:27] <jrib> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/67272 this is the error you got?
[11:27] <PuRu> :-O is that vesa 1.0 i'm using now?
[11:27] <PuRu> damn its slow
[11:27] <PuRu> your link:
[11:27] <PuRu> Page not found
[11:27] <PuRu> Theres no page with this address in Launchpad.
[11:28] <jrib> it is a liar
[11:28] <PuRu> lol indeed
[11:28] <jrib> check to make sure you copied the whole thing maybe
[11:28] <PuRu> i accidentally pasted your text behind it
[11:28] <PuRu> lol found it allready
[11:28] <PuRu> no no
[11:28] <PuRu> it was booting fine
[11:29] <PuRu> untill i installed the nvidia-glx driver
[11:29] <PuRu> and it is NOT an update
[11:29] <PuRu> its a clean install of edgy
[11:29] <PuRu> (but multiboot)
[11:29] <jrib> ok pastebin the two xorg.conf files you are working with
[11:29] <jrib> nv and nvidia
[11:31] <PuRu> OMFG
[11:31] <PuRu> i cant type #anymore
[11:31] <PuRu> told u the standard wouldnt be good for me lol
[11:33] <PuRu> my alt doesnt work anymore
[11:33] <PuRu> and i dunno what kind of keyboard i have
[11:33] <jrib> that's ok you won't be using this too long
[11:33] <PuRu> getting superpissed off here
[11:33] <PuRu> i cant evne use irc... :s
[11:33] <jrib> (hopefully)
[11:33] <nalioth> a state of superpisstivity isn't gonna help at all
[11:34] <nalioth> got take the dog for a walk (or just yourself)  :)
[11:34] <PuRu_> i copy pasted it from a website i searched with google...
[11:34] <PuRu_> damn this is annoying
[11:35] <PuRu_> pastebins comming up
[11:36] <PuRu_> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/pastebin.php
[11:36] <PuRu_> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[11:36] <PuRu_> wrong url
[11:37] <PuRu_> ubuntu pastebins suck, i'll use others
[11:37] <jrib> I'm about to try full screen video on beryl so my computer may crash, if I leave I'll be right back
[11:37] <PuRu_> offcourse
[11:38] <PuRu_> i think this is just not my day
[11:38] <PuRu_> the pastebin doesnt want to
[11:41] <PuRu_> http://paste.uni.cc/12138
[11:41] <PuRu_> *cheers, opens bottle of champagne because he was able to paste something*
[11:41] <jrib> but we know this one works, we need to look at nv and nvidia
[11:41] <PuRu> lol
[11:41] <PuRu> so what do i need to do?
[11:42] <PuRu> i'm getting really stressfull lol
[11:42] <PuRu> gonna smoke a nice spliff and return chill
[11:42] <jrib> ok
[11:42] <PuRu> i still need to roll so you can allready tell me what i need to do :-)
[11:43] <PuRu> btw: i just saw nvidia-glx = still installed
[11:43] <jrib> do you still have the old xorg.conf's saved?
[11:43] <jrib> lets try to get nvidia to work I guess
[11:43] <PuRu> yeah but they didnt work :(
[11:44] <jrib> since that is what you want
[11:44] <PuRu> it was the auto backup...
[11:44] <jrib> ok, pastebin that
[11:44] <PuRu> if i find it
[11:44] <PuRu> i made sure u had them under winxp
[11:45] <PuRu> (i use partitionmagic to browse and edit my linux partition under xp)
[11:45] <jrib> oh did you pastebin them before?
[11:45] <PuRu> nope :(
[11:45] <PuRu> but i see soem more backups
[11:45] <PuRu> xorg.conf.1234567...
[11:45] <PuRu> 1234567... = a long number
[11:46] <PuRu> is an example offcourse
[11:46] <jrib> apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-common linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[11:46] <jrib> try that, make sure they are both installed
[11:47] <PuRu> wich should both be installed?
[11:47] <jrib> yeah
[11:48] <PuRu_> http://paste.uni.cc/12139
[11:48] <PuRu> but...
[11:48] <PuRu> they should both be installed
[11:48] <PuRu> what's they?
[11:49] <jrib> yeah they should both be installed, that's not the reason
[11:49] <PuRu> how large are the chances this can be solved?
[11:49] <PuRu> because i've trown away hours and hours of my day today :(
[11:50] <PuRu> without any result
[11:50] <jrib> I recommend doing  'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' and then trying to restart X.  When it fails, copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere so you can pastebin them.  Then switch back to vesa and pastebin them
[11:50] <PuRu> if i open them in windows notepad fucks them up
[11:50] <PuRu> if i paste them then its unreadable
[11:51] <PuRu_> ward@ward-laptop:~$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[11:51] <PuRu_> Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[11:51] <PuRu_> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[11:51] <jrib> apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
[11:53] <PuRu_> http://paste.uni.cc/12141
[11:54] <PuRu> oh btw, i use a dutch ubuntu
[11:54] <PuRu> i just saw some dutch words in there
[11:54] <jrib> uname -a
[11:55] <PuRu_> Linux ward-laptop 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Fri Oct 13 18:41:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:56] <jrib> ok that's interesting
[11:56] <jrib> PuRu_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:57] <PuRu_> is working
[11:57] <PuRu> i'll tell u when its done
[11:57] <jrib> ok
[11:58] <jrib> say my name so I look at the channel
[11:58] <PuRu> jrib: sorry lol
[11:58] <jrib> ?
[11:58] <cafuego_> puru: nee, er wordt hier nooit nederlands gesproken.
[11:58] <jrib> I mean when it's done :)
[11:58] <PuRu> jrib: this machine = windoze, the other is ubuntu, i dont see the linew colored under windoze
[11:59] <jrib> oh no we have lost ubotu
[11:59] <PuRu> lol
[12:00] <PuRu> jrib: is my system updating?
[12:00] <jrib> you tell me
[12:00] <PuRu> lol
[12:00] <PuRu> i guess
[12:00] <PuRu> is the command for updating?
[12:00] <jrib> it should be upgrading linux-restricted-momdules-common
[12:00] <PuRu> is doing that
[12:00] <PuRu> why did you ask me to do that?
[12:01] <PuRu> just trying to comprehend
[12:01] <jrib> yes, for updating the package list and then upgrading packages to their latest version
[12:01] <PuRu> aha, nice
[12:01] <jrib> PuRu: because you had nvidia-glx and restricted-modules-$(uname -r) for a different version than linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:02] <PuRu> it indeed told me that at some point
[12:02] <PuRu> but i didnt understand it because i followed the tutorial
[12:02] <PuRu> (and it wasnt rocketscience either)
[12:03] <PuRu> updates are done
