| Yodude | ok i'm here | 10:22 |
|---|---|---|
| nalioth | Yodude: can you ctrl-alt-f3 and get to a terminal ? | 10:22 |
| Yodude | yes and then i click ctrl-alt f7 to quit n return to ubuntu | 10:23 |
| nalioth | let's stay in the text terminal, and log in, please | 10:24 |
| Yodude | lol but i won't be able to talk to you there | 10:24 |
| nalioth | umm, ok | 10:24 |
| nalioth | hwo are you here now, if your video isn't working like you want it to? | 10:25 |
| Yodude | no u don't understand | 10:25 |
| Yodude | i need to upgrade my GPU driver | 10:25 |
| Yodude | i downloaded the driver from the nvidia website | 10:25 |
| Yodude | but i can't install it it says i need to close X | 10:25 |
| Yodude | so how can i go about that? | 10:26 |
| nalioth | let's go to terminal 3 and log in | 10:26 |
| nalioth | when you get logged in, apt-get install irssi and run it | 10:26 |
| nalioth | type /connect freenode | 10:26 |
| nalioth | then /j #ubuntu-classroom | 10:26 |
| Yodude | lol nono wait | 10:26 |
| nalioth | irssi is a console irc program | 10:26 |
| Yodude | i can't download stuff from the repository | 10:26 |
| Yodude | i'm doing all this to avoid that | 10:27 |
| Yodude | my connection is too slow | 10:27 |
| nalioth | no problem | 10:27 |
| Yodude | i just need to get this file running and i'll be done | 10:27 |
| nalioth | log into the text terminal and do the irssi thing (write down the commands if necessary) | 10:27 |
| Yodude | but i don't want to command apt-get i can't download i told u | 10:28 |
| Yodude | just tell me what do i have to do now and i'll write it down | 10:29 |
| Yodude | that way i can work for a little while in the terminal | 10:29 |
| nalioth | you said you had the driver | 10:29 |
| Yodude | i had the driver "file" | 10:29 |
| nalioth | ok | 10:29 |
| Yodude | which i need to run so that i can install the driver | 10:30 |
| nalioth | the quicker you log into a text terminal and irssi, the quicker we can kill X and get busy | 10:30 |
| Yodude | i know how to stop x i use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 10:30 |
| Yodude | i just don't know what to do after i close X | 10:31 |
| Yodude | i only have black screen with a - | 10:31 |
| Yodude | but i can't get commands to work | 10:31 |
| Yodude | i need to do this to install the file: | 10:31 |
| nalioth | when you come back here, i'll walk you through it | 10:32 |
| Yodude | sudo /media/hda5/ubuntu/packages/NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run | 10:32 |
| Yodude | so how can i do that command after i close X | 10:32 |
| nalioth | from a console | 10:32 |
| Yodude | i already tried just typing it n hitting enter nothing happened | 10:32 |
| nalioth | Yodude: please do the ctrl-alt-f3 thing and come back here with irssi | 10:33 |
| Yodude | kk wait i hope it works this time let's see | 10:34 |
| Yodude | man i told you i can't do it | 10:38 |
| Yodude | my connection sucks | 10:38 |
| Yodude | i don't know why everytime i download something from the repository i get erros | 10:38 |
| Yodude | usualyl i can get at least 3KB per second | 10:38 |
| Yodude | man just tell me how to get to a terminal after closing X and i'll be happy | 10:39 |
| Yodude | plz | 10:39 |

| nalioth | type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 10:45 |
| Yodude | ok | 10:45 |
| nalioth | your x will be off at that time | 10:45 |
| Yodude | then | 10:45 |
| Yodude | yes | 10:45 |
| Yodude | then | 10:45 |
| nalioth | then type sudo /media/hda5/ubuntu/packages/NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run | 10:45 |
| nalioth | it should run (because x is stopped) | 10:46 |
| Yodude | that's the problem i typed it and nothing happened | 10:46 |
| nalioth | can you open a terminal now? | 10:46 |
| Yodude | then i tested another command which is sudo fdisk -l | 10:46 |
| Yodude | but nothing happened either | 10:46 |
| Yodude | i can | 10:47 |
| nalioth | please do and type "file /media/hda5/ubuntu/packages/NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run" and tell me the result | 10:47 |
| Yodude | "/media/hda5/ubuntu/packages/NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run: Bourne shell script text executable | 10:48 |
| Yodude | " | 10:48 |
| timothy | you are pressing enter right ;0 | 10:48 |
| nalioth | after you kill X, try this: "sudo -i" <enter> | 10:48 |
| Yodude | after i kill X? | 10:49 |
| nalioth | than type ./media/hda5/ubuntu/packages/NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run <enter> | 10:49 |
| nalioth | Yodude: yes, you have to kill x for this to run (or so you told me) | 10:49 |
| Yodude | if it doesn't work how can i restart X? | 10:49 |
| nalioth | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 10:49 |
| Yodude | yes but last time i typed that command to restart X and it didn;'t work | 10:49 |
| nalioth | is there NO way for you to get a console irc client? | 10:50 |
| nalioth | this is gonna take some troubleshooting that we can't do in the current situation | 10:50 |
| Yodude | lol no sadly | 10:50 |
| nalioth | irssi isn't that big of a package | 10:51 |
| Yodude | i am really disspointed because of the repositories download speed | 10:51 |
| jrib | irssi isn't installed by default anymore? | 10:51 |
| Yodude | firefox is faster than that i know for sure | 10:51 |
| nalioth | jrib: not since breezy :( | 10:51 |
| jrib | aw that's sad | 10:51 |
| Yodude | let me just clear things up a bit: | 10:51 |
| nalioth | Yodude: are you using the closest repos? | 10:51 |
| Yodude | what do you mean closest repositories? | 10:52 |
| Yodude | i am using a server for lebanon (where i live) | 10:53 |
| Yodude | do i change the server? | 10:53 |
| Yodude | maybe lebanon server is just not that good | 10:53 |
| nalioth | Yodude: try changing it to just "archive.ubuntu.com" instead of xx.archive.ubuntu.com | 10:54 |
| Yodude | how? | 10:54 |
| Yodude | i tried going into synaptic preferences and changing the server from Server Lebanon to Main Server | 10:55 |
| Yodude | is this good? | 10:56 |
| Yodude | it seems a bit faster to me' | 10:56 |
| Yodude | but illogical though shouldn't my country's server be faster for me? | 10:57 |
| Yodude | it's still slower than usual though | 10:58 |
| nalioth | Yodude: hit alt-f2 and type "gksudo "/etc/apt/sources.list"" | 10:58 |
| nalioth | you already have changed it, never mind | 10:59 |
| Yodude | hey i'm seeing something weird | 11:00 |
| Yodude | after i have changed the server it told me to redownload the list! | 11:01 |
| Yodude | and now i can't change back to Server Lebanon | 11:01 |
| Yodude | ( and b4 this it told me there was 184 updates for my system now it tells me there is 74) | 11:01 |
| nalioth | i always change my sources.list to a faster one | 11:02 |
| Yodude | i'm gonna try to quit X than type a command for the last time | 11:03 |
| Yodude | if it doesn't work than too bad | 11:03 |
| Yodude | i won't be able to use ubuntu thnks to my "adorable" connection | 11:04 |

| Yodude | yes it said something about that | 11:26 |
