(Remember I'm not at the computer right now.) :) === Devo [n=sodkghks@user-0c9h0lq.cable.mindspring.com] has left #xubuntu ["Leaving"] [02:23] thebillywayne: normally you would just do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [02:23] thebillywayne: the default settings suggested should work [02:24] thebillywayne: you might also need to insrease so called 'graphic aperture' in you bios settings -- that is the amount of RAM your card takes from the computer [02:25] TheSheep, yeah 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' didn't work with the default settings. I'll try your suggestion of increasing the graphic aperture in my BIOS.

Maybe I can find an old nVidia card or something. [02:28] thebillywayne: if that doesn't help, try saving the x log and the output of lspci [02:28] thebillywayne: with that info we might be able to do somethng more [02:29] TheSheep, I'll do that. [02:30] Though Ubuntu loaded and ran fine, though it was too heavy on the poor PIII w/ 256 MB of RAM. [02:31] Cannot understand why ubuntu would work fine (they use the same X) [02:31] h3sp4wn, me neither, unless it was an install problem. [02:32] thebillywayne: what version did you use ? [02:32] h3sp4wn, feisty. [02:33] thebillywayne: you can just copy the /etc/xorg.conf file over if you still have it [02:34] TheSheep, it was wiped when I reformatted to put Xubuntu on. Haven't really began using the *buntu's on the office computer, as we have a stinking Conexant winmodem and havent' secured a proper dial-up modem yet. [02:35] thebillywayne: you could, if you still have the ubuntu cd, boot the livecd and copy the xorg.conf file from it to the disk [02:36] TheSheep, that's a really good idea. I'll try that. [02:36] TheSheep, I used the alternate to do the install, but I'll give that a shot.

I'm trying to edit xorg.conf. I'm in the proper directory: /etc/X11. I can see the xorg.conf file there. But I can open it to edit neither with sudo mousepad xorg.conf nor with sudo vi xorg.conf. Why? What should I do. (By the way, I'm using urxvt terminal emulator because of the known issue that the default terminal crashes x. But it seems to function as a terminal as well.) [07:17] deniz_ogu1: what message are yu getting?

Warns me that I'm root and I should be careful. But the page is totally white blank. [07:18] For vi: A blank page opens in terminal. there's only # signs at the beginnig of the lines but there are no actuel lines. [07:18] deniz_ogu1: try 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [07:19] deniz_ogu1: did it show you the right content of that file? [07:20] TheSheep: yes, with cat it outputs the file. But how to edit it? [07:20] ui, JDK now under GPL 2 :) [07:21] deniz_ogu1: did you try to scroll that file? maybe ito nly has empty beginning? [07:22] TheSheep: I did but wil try again. Which one do you advice vi or mousepad. (I miss my lovely gedit!) [07:22] deniz_ogu1: you can change most settings by doing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [07:23] deniz_ogu1: well, if you can use vi, then use it, otherwise use whatever you are comfortable with [07:23] Ok that may solve my problem for now. I'm trying to function my serial mouse! :-) [07:24] But editing problem is something else. Weird. I've done it in Ubuntu once upon a time.

[07:25] deniz_ogu1: you can use mousepad as well, better to use gksu than sudo then [07:26] is it the same? gksu=? sudo [07:26] deniz_ogu1: gksu is more suited for graphical applications [07:27] TheSheep: Thank you.

[12:12] 8800 [12:13] i found them on some page, dunno [12:13] some wiki [12:13] and what os? [12:13] uh, xubuntu [12:14] with the 2.6.22 kernel [12:14] so it's feisty [12:14] no actually i installed the previous version [12:14] but i installed the kernel package from feisty [12:14] to try and fix a network card issue [12:14] why not upgrade? [12:14] how? [12:14] !upgrade [12:14] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [12:15] so i should browse that with lynx now? [12:15] hmm my sources.list has "feisty" all over the place [12:15] and i did a dist-upgrade but it didnt download much [12:15] `cat /etc/issue` will show what release you're on.

[12:16] hyper_ch: i dont have X at the moment [12:16] The kernel you have is the one slated to be in Gutsy. [12:16] Pumpernickel: ah right gutsy was the new version - i confused them [12:16] (Whcih is horribly unstable at the moment.) [12:16] hyper_ch: but i followed the instructions about disabling the "nv" module [12:16] hyper_ch: if thats what you're referring to [12:17] Pumpernickel: so should i remove the 2.6.22 kernel as well? [12:17] nopcode: you should be able to install from a gui... you shouldn't need to follow any wiki [12:17] i mean, it didnt solve my issues anyways [12:17] hyper_ch: i thought installing the nvidia driver always needed manual work.. [12:17] not in feisty anymore [12:18] ok so... is the 2.6.22 kernel from gutsy the source of my problem? [12:18] it probably didnt get the proper modules for that? [12:18] nopcode: dunno... I don't play with out-of-release kernels [12:18] ok so i'll uninstall that [12:18] brb [12:19] didnt work.. [12:19] nopcode: you removed the gutsy kernel and rebooted? === sc0tt_ [n=sc0tt@cpc1-stok5-0-0-cust150.bagu.cable.ntl.com] has joined #xubuntu [12:20] hyper_ch: no [12:20] apt-get didnt remove the kenrnel [12:20] "pre-removal script returned error status 9" [12:20] it says something about "error setting debconf flags..."
