Woody_ | tes | 05:10 |
Woody_ | yes | 05:10 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:10 |
Woody_ | opened | 05:11 |
PepperBob | type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:11 |
PepperBob | be aware: your x will stop! | 05:11 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:11 |
PepperBob | did it stop? | 05:11 |
Woody_ | yes | 05:11 |
PepperBob | ok, login at the prompt | 05:12 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:12 |
PepperBob | now: cd ~/Desktop | 05:12 |
Woody_ | yes | 05:12 |
PepperBob | type: sudo sh NV....<driver-file> | 05:13 |
PepperBob | erm... | 05:13 |
PepperBob | Woody_, i meant without those dots... sudo sh <file-you-downloaded> | 05:13 |
Woody_ | i forgot the file name | 05:14 |
PepperBob | Woody_, just type "NV" and hit the <TAB> key | 05:14 |
PepperBob | Woody_, it will autocomplete | 05:14 |
Woody_ | ah okay | 05:14 |
Woody_ | yes, as in Windows Command Prompt | 05:14 |
Woody_ | okay | 05:14 |
PepperBob | Woody_, yes - even better ;) | 05:15 |
Woody_ | :P | 05:15 |
PepperBob | Woody_, so did you typed that? | 05:15 |
Woody_ | there is a warning now | 05:15 |
Woody_ | yes, i typed it | 05:15 |
Woody_ | and asked for a password | 05:15 |
Woody_ | i put the password | 05:15 |
PepperBob | good | 05:15 |
Woody_ | and now i came to a screen | 05:15 |
PepperBob | good | 05:15 |
PepperBob | now proceed | 05:15 |
Woody_ | should i type what the Warning says? | 05:15 |
Woody_ | i got another warning that says: | 05:16 |
PepperBob | yes please | 05:16 |
Woody_ | YOU DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE AN NVIDIA GPU SUPPORTED BY THE 1.0-9755 NVIDIA LINUX GRAPHICS DRIVER INSTALLED IN THIS SYSTEM. | 05:17 |
Woody_ | i think i can still proceed, there is the OK button | 05:17 |
Woody_ | should i proceed? | 05:17 |
PepperBob | Woody_, that's it. | 05:17 |
PepperBob | Woody_, YOU DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE AN NVIDIA GPU SUPPORTED BY THE 1.0-9755 NVIDIA LINUX GRAPHICS | 05:17 |
Woody_ | so? | 05:17 |
PepperBob | Woody_, somehow it seems as if you graphics adapter has no 3d option | 05:18 |
Woody_ | but the 2 laptops have the same graphics adaptor | 05:18 |
PepperBob | Woody_, yeah i saw that... | 05:19 |
PepperBob | Woody_, but it can't detect it | 05:19 |
PepperBob | Woody_, that causes the driver to fail when loading | 05:19 |
Woody_ | mmmm | 05:19 |
PepperBob | Woody_, probably it's damaged or turned off (bios settings?) | 05:19 |
Woody_ | but i use it for Windows XP | 05:20 |
Woody_ | it works normally | 05:20 |
PepperBob | Woody_, pressing OK will send you back to the terminal i guess | 05:20 |
Woody_ | its asking me if i want to install or not | 05:20 |
Woody_ | if i should accept the license agreement or not | 05:21 |
PepperBob | Woody_, try to install | 05:21 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:21 |
Woody_ | i got another error that says: | 05:21 |
PepperBob | Woody_, even if it compiles it, it will fail loading i guess | 05:21 |
Woody_ | No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installer to attempt a kernel interface for your kernel from the nvidia ftp site? | 05:22 |
PepperBob | Woody_, that's okay | 05:22 |
PepperBob | "YES" or whatever | 05:23 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:23 |
PepperBob | Woody_, this is the time when it starts to compile a new module for your kernel. | 05:23 |
Woody_ | no matching premcomiled kernel interface was found on Nvidia ftp sites | 05:23 |
Woody_ | this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for your kernel | 05:24 |
PepperBob | ok | 05:24 |
Woody_ | thats what the error says | 05:24 |
PepperBob | yes it should compile it | 05:24 |
Woody_ | Another error :P | 05:24 |
PepperBob | Woody_, that's okay so far. the worst error was the first one. | 05:24 |
Woody_ | You do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system. Please install your distribution's libc development package/ | 05:25 |
Woody_ | .* | 05:25 |
Woody_ | i press okay | 05:25 |
Woody_ | and another error comes | 05:25 |
PepperBob | Woody_, ok.. seems as if there are some packages missing | 05:26 |
Woody_ | Installation has Failed. Please see the file ` /var/log/nvidia-installer.org | 05:26 |
PepperBob | ok. | 05:26 |
Woody_ | it threw me back to the terminal | 05:26 |
PepperBob | Woody_, you need to install package: | 05:26 |
PepperBob | linux-libc-dev | 05:26 |
PepperBob | Woody_, so type: sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev | 05:26 |
Woody_ | ok working.... | 05:27 |
Woody_ | tetched 664KB | 05:27 |
Woody_ | fetched* | 05:28 |
Woody_ | okay | 05:28 |
PepperBob | Woody_, | 05:28 |
Woody_ | done | 05:28 |
PepperBob | just for the moment: | 05:28 |
PepperBob | please type: sudo modprobe nvidia | 05:28 |
Woody_ | Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:29 |
PepperBob | Woody_, you just typed modprobe nvidia? | 05:29 |
Woody_ | yes | 05:29 |
Woody_ | with sudo | 05:29 |
PepperBob | yes. and the output was "Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 05:30 |
Woody_ | yes | 05:30 |
PepperBob | Woody_, type: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:30 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:30 |
PepperBob | scroll to that line that says Driver "nvidia" | 05:30 |
PepperBob | and check if it's uncommented.. | 05:31 |
Woody_ | there is no "nvidia" | 05:31 |
Woody_ | its "nv" | 05:31 |
PepperBob | Woody_, rewrite it to "nvidia" | 05:31 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:31 |
Woody_ | it is not commented | 05:31 |
PepperBob | hit CTRL-X | 05:32 |
PepperBob | and safe | 05:32 |
Woody_ | okay saved | 05:32 |
PepperBob | modprobe again please | 05:32 |
PepperBob | what does it say? | 05:33 |
Woody_ | [ 2898.676000] nvidia: Unknown parameter 'NVerg_SoftEDIDs' | 05:33 |
Woody_ | FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia | 05:33 |
PepperBob | Woody_, that sounds too bad. | 05:33 |
Woody_ | oh :( | 05:34 |
PepperBob | Woody_, you can try to run the nvidia installer | 05:34 |
PepperBob | Woody_, but it will fail loading the module in the end. | 05:34 |
Woody_ | im getting the same errors | 05:34 |
PepperBob | Woody_, which? | 05:34 |
Woody_ | same, the ones when i install the nvidia installer | 05:34 |

Woody_ | it needs a pastebin | 05:38 |
Woody_ | and im not on X | 05:38 |
Woody_ | can i use vncviewer? | 05:38 |
PepperBob | Woody_, let's try this: | 05:38 |
Woody_ | ok | 05:38 |
PepperBob | Woody_, sudo apt-get install openssh | 05:39 |
PepperBob | Woody_, this will install a ssh server and you'll be able to access wisam from you other notebook | 05:39 |
Woody_ | E: couldn't find package openssh | 05:39 |
PepperBob | Woody_, just take "ssh" | 05:40 |

Woody_ | mmmm | 06:34 |
Woody_ | its okay | 06:35 |
Woody_ | so i keep with legacy? | 06:35 |
PepperBob | Woody_, well, the only thing is: switch xorg.conf back to "nv" | 06:35 |
Woody_ | yeah | 06:37 |
Woody_ | but nvidia legacy used to work on the pc | 06:37 |
Woody_ | on Wissam | 06:37 |
Woody_ | but only the 3D wont work like Beryl and Compiz | 06:37 |

PepperBob | Woody_, restart X will be enough | 06:49 |
Woody_ | i remember that i entered a command that made legacy as my primary | 06:49 |

Woody_ | but still its not working well | 06:53 |
Woody_ | the graphics are not good | 06:53 |
Woody_ | its not using full colors | 06:53 |
PepperBob | mh... | 06:54 |
PepperBob | Woody_, probably you should run sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:56 |
PepperBob | erm.. dpkg-reconfigure | 06:57 |
Woody_ | ok | 06:58 |
Woody_ | there is a list | 06:58 |
Woody_ | of X server drivers | 06:58 |
Woody_ | which one should i choose? | 06:58 |
Woody_ | nvidia? | 06:58 |
PepperBob | Woody_, mh... i think the nvidia one is the one that won't work | 06:58 |
PepperBob | Woody_, any others? | 06:58 |
PepperBob | nv i guess | 06:59 |
Woody_ | ok | 07:00 |
Woody_ | still not working | 07:00 |
PepperBob | Woody_, you say the resolution and colors is not correct?? | 07:01 |
Woody_ | its working | 07:01 |
Woody_ | but not with the legacy | 07:02 |
PepperBob | well. | 07:02 |
PepperBob | so you got it back then? | 07:02 |
Woody_ | maybe i should remove nvidia-glx? | 07:02 |

Woody_ | my graphics driver is Geforce 4 Go 32MB | 07:40 |
Woody_ | so i think that the legacy drivers will work on it | 07:41 |
SlimeyPete | yeah, that sounds about right | 07:41 |
Woody_ | i installed the legacy with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy | 07:41 |
Woody_ | i rebooted | 07:41 |
Woody_ | i enter the X | 07:41 |
Woody_ | but the colors are not all working | 07:41 |
Woody_ | the colors are not smooth | 07:41 |
Woody_ | it was working from before, but i messed up with it | 07:42 |
Woody_ | now i want to restore it back | 07:42 |
Woody_ | what do you think i should do guys? SlimeyPete sorsis | 07:42 |
sorsis | do you know how many colors you have n your desktop? | 07:42 |
Woody_ | i have the same laptop | 07:42 |
Woody_ | i have 2 laptops which are the same | 07:42 |
Woody_ | the one im using right now works | 07:43 |
Woody_ | up to 24bit i think | 07:43 |
Woody_ | the other computer (which has the problem) i want to install the legacy on it | 07:43 |
Woody_ | what exactly should i do? | 07:43 |
SlimeyPete | the nvidia installer should have left a backup up of your xorg.conf. It'll probably be called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.0 or xorg.conf.old. Copy that over the top of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get rid of your changes. | 07:43 |
SlimeyPete | why did you use apt-get, by the way? Did the Restricted Hardware Manager not work? | 07:44 |
Woody_ | yes i tried the RHM it didnt work | 07:44 |
SlimeyPete | ah right | 07:45 |
SlimeyPete | did you run the nvidia-xconfig script? (it might be called something different in the legacy package, I can't remember) | 07:45 |
Woody_ | okay | 07:46 |
Woody_ | i did what you told me SlimeyPete | 07:46 |
Woody_ | no i didnt run that | 07:46 |
SlimeyPete | ok, once you've copied the file over, just restart X by hitting ctrl-alt-backspace (remember to save your work first if you have anything open!) | 07:47 |
Woody_ | now X cannot boot | 07:47 |
Woody_ | shit X can not start | 07:48 |
Woody_ | what should i do now? | 07:48 |
SlimeyPete | wait a moment. It will probably give you a screen whcih will allow you to view the error log. | 07:48 |
Woody_ | it told me that the X could not be loaded | 07:49 |
Woody_ | and now it is asking for the username and password | 07:49 |
Woody_ | but not in X | 07:49 |
SlimeyPete | right... it should have asked if you want to view the error log | 07:49 |
Woody_ | its like the terminal | 07:49 |
Woody_ | i think i clicked cancel | 07:49 |
Woody_ | what should i do now? | 07:49 |
SlimeyPete | log in | 07:50 |
SlimeyPete | and type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 07:50 |
Woody_ | ok | 07:50 |
Woody_ | the driver is "nvidia" | 07:51 |
Woody_ | i change it to "nv"? | 07:51 |
SlimeyPete | yes | 07:51 |
Woody_ | rebooting now | 07:51 |
Woody_ | still the same thing | 07:53 |
Woody_ | Failed to start the X server | 07:53 |
SlimeyPete | weird. | 07:53 |
SlimeyPete | can you view the error log, this time? | 07:53 |
Woody_ | it asks, would you like to view the X server output to diagonse the problem? | 07:53 |

SlimeyPete | hmm, OK. If you exit that screen it should ask if you want to see the detailed log. | 07:54 |
SlimeyPete | You do want to view the detailed log. | 07:54 |
Woody_ | now it says, Would you like to view the detailed X server output as well? | 07:55 |
Woody_ | yes | 07:55 |
SlimeyPete | yep, you want to do that | 07:55 |
SlimeyPete | and look through it for the words "error", "warnign" and "nv" | 07:55 |
Woody_ | it says at the bottom | 07:56 |
Woody_ | no screens found | 07:56 |
Woody_ | how do i get back to my x? | 07:56 |
SlimeyPete | so there are no other errors in the file? Further up, I mean. | 07:57 |
SlimeyPete | they might give a clue as to exactly what failed | 07:57 |
Woody_ | the error is sooo long | 07:57 |
SlimeyPete | yeah, I know. It's actually a file in /var/log , so you could always run nano on the file and use the search facility. | 07:58 |
Woody_ | but shouldnt it work if i change it to nv? | 07:58 |
SlimeyPete | yes, it should, really. The other thing to check in your xorg.conf is the monitor settings, I guess. | 07:59 |
Woody_ | how can i get back to my X now? | 07:59 |
Woody_ | want me to send you my xorg.conf in pastebin? | 08:00 |
SlimeyPete | nah... without knowing your hardware I can't really figure out what the problem is. | 08:00 |
SlimeyPete | try a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-window-system" | 08:00 |
SlimeyPete | that should set everything back to default, in theory | 08:00 |
Woody_ | wissam@wissam-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-window-system | 08:01 |
Woody_ | Package `x-window-system' is not installed and no info is available. | 08:01 |
Woody_ | Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, | 08:01 |
Woody_ | and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. | 08:01 |
Woody_ | /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: x-window-system is not installed | 08:01 |
SlimeyPete | hrm... damn, wassit called in ubuntu. "xorg-server" or "xorg-common" maybe? | 08:02 |
SlimeyPete | (sorry.... I'm not in Ubuntu at the moment, else I'd check) | 08:02 |
SlimeyPete | ah | 08:02 |
Woody_ | i am trying VESA | 08:02 |
SlimeyPete | it's "xserver-xorg" | 08:02 |
Woody_ | instead of NV | 08:02 |
SlimeyPete | yeah, that's a good idea. | 08:03 |
Woody_ | maybe X will work now | 08:03 |
Woody_ | you're good in installing nvidia graphics on ubuntu? | 08:03 |
SlimeyPete | I've been using nvidia with ubuntu for a couple of years... variosu different cards & versions of ubuntu | 08:03 |
Woody_ | X is working now | 08:04 |
Woody_ | yeah | 08:04 |
SlimeyPete | I'm afraid I have to go now, though. Sorry I wasn't much help. | 08:04 |
Woody_ | no problem :) | 08:04 |
