Woody_i think i can still proceed, there is the OK button05:17
Woody_should i proceed?05:17
PepperBobWoody_, that's it.05:17
PepperBobWoody_,  YOU DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE AN NVIDIA GPU SUPPORTED BY THE 1.0-9755 NVIDIA LINUX GRAPHICS05:17
Woody_so?05:17
PepperBobWoody_, somehow it seems as if you graphics adapter has no 3d option05:18
Woody_but the 2 laptops have the same graphics adaptor05:18
PepperBobWoody_, yeah i saw that...05:19
PepperBobWoody_, but it can't detect it05:19
PepperBobWoody_, that causes the driver to fail when loading05:19
Woody_mmmm05:19

PepperBobWoody_, that's okay05:22
PepperBob"YES" or whatever05:23
Woody_ok05:23
PepperBobWoody_, 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 sites05:23
Woody_this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for your kernel05:24
PepperBobok05:24
Woody_thats what the error says05:24
PepperBobyes it should compile it05:24
Woody_Another error :P05:24

PepperBoberm.. dpkg-reconfigure06:57
Woody_ok06:58
Woody_there is a list06:58
Woody_of X server drivers06:58
Woody_which one should i choose?06:58
Woody_nvidia?06:58
PepperBobWoody_, mh... i think the nvidia one is the one that won't work06:58
PepperBobWoody_, any others?06:58
PepperBobnv i guess06:59
Woody_ok07:00
Woody_still not working07:00
PepperBobWoody_, you say the resolution and colors is not correct??07:01

Woody_my graphics driver is Geforce 4 Go 32MB07:40
Woody_so i think that the legacy drivers will work on it07:41
SlimeyPeteyeah, that sounds about right07:41
Woody_i installed the legacy with:   sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy07:41
Woody_i rebooted07:41
Woody_i enter the X07:41
Woody_but the colors are not all working07:41
Woody_the colors are not smooth07:41
Woody_it was working from before, but i messed up with it07:42
Woody_now i want to restore it back07:42
Woody_what do you think i should do guys? SlimeyPete sorsis07:42
sorsisdo you know how many colors you have n your desktop?07:42
Woody_i have the same laptop07:42
Woody_i have 2 laptops which are the same07:42
Woody_the one im using right now works07:43
Woody_up to 24bit i think07:43
Woody_the other computer (which has the problem) i want to install the legacy on it07:43
Woody_what exactly should i do?07:43
SlimeyPetethe 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
SlimeyPetewhy 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 work07:44
SlimeyPeteah right07:45
SlimeyPetedid you run the nvidia-xconfig script? (it might be called something different in the legacy package, I can't remember)07:45
Woody_okay07:46
Woody_i did what you told me SlimeyPete07:46
Woody_no i didnt run that07:46
SlimeyPeteok, 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 boot07:47
Woody_shit X can not start07:48
Woody_what should i do now?07:48
SlimeyPetewait 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 loaded07:49
Woody_and now it is asking for the username and password07:49
Woody_but not in X07:49
SlimeyPeteright... it should have asked if you want to view the error log07:49
Woody_its like the terminal07:49
Woody_i think i clicked cancel07:49
Woody_what should i do now?07:49
SlimeyPetelog in07:50
SlimeyPeteand type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"07:50
Woody_ok07:50
Woody_the driver is "nvidia"07:51
Woody_i change it to "nv"?07:51
SlimeyPeteyes07:51
Woody_rebooting now07:51
Woody_still the same thing07:53
Woody_Failed to start the X server07:53
SlimeyPeteweird.07:53
SlimeyPetecan 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
Woody_i press yes07:53
SlimeyPeteif you scroll to the bottom, what does it say?07:54
Woody_Fatal server error07:54

SlimeyPetehmm, OK. If you exit that screen it should ask if you want to see the detailed log.07:54
SlimeyPeteYou 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_yes07:55
SlimeyPeteyep, you want to do that07:55
SlimeyPeteand look through it for the words "error", "warnign" and "nv"07:55
Woody_it says at the bottom07:56
Woody_no screens found07:56
Woody_how do i get back to my x?07:56
SlimeyPeteso there are no other errors in the file? Further up, I mean.07:57
SlimeyPetethey might give a clue as to exactly what failed07:57
Woody_the error is sooo long07:57
SlimeyPeteyeah, 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
SlimeyPeteyes, 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
SlimeyPetenah... without knowing your hardware I can't really figure out what the problem is.08:00
SlimeyPetetry a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-window-system"08:00
SlimeyPetethat should set everything back to default, in theory08:00
Woody_wissam@wissam-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-window-system08:01
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 installed08:01
SlimeyPetehrm... 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
SlimeyPeteah08:02
Woody_i am trying VESA08:02
SlimeyPeteit's "xserver-xorg"08:02
Woody_instead of NV08:02
SlimeyPeteyeah, that's a good idea.08:03
Woody_maybe X will work now08:03
Woody_you're good in installing nvidia graphics on ubuntu?08:03
SlimeyPeteI've been using nvidia with ubuntu for a couple of years... variosu different cards & versions of ubuntu08:03
Woody_X is working now08:04
Woody_yeah08:04
SlimeyPeteI'm afraid I have to go now, though. Sorry I wasn't much help.08:04
