| steve_ | i downloaded the nvidia driver from nvidia's website | 12:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Daviey | steve_, is it not supported out of the box? | 12:27 |
| steve_ | 1.0 9755 | 12:27 |
| steve_ | so far, i can launch the nvidia x-server setting | 12:28 |
| steve_ | it detects my tv | 12:28 |
| steve_ | but image is only black/white | 12:28 |
| steve_ | however, when i boot/shutdown, i get the ubuntu splash in normal color on both tft monitor and tv | 12:28 |
| steve_ | with out of the box, max resolution appeared to be 1024x768 too | 12:29 |
| steve_ | whenever i manually change xorg.conf, i must be doing something wrong, | 12:30 |
| steve_ | i only get console, and have to restart gdm with the original xorg.conf | 12:30 |

| steve_ | ideally, i'd like the tv not to be a clone or extension of the pc screen | 12:33 |
| Daviey | steve_, if you using closed source drivers - why not use ubuntu's binary's? | 12:35 |
| steve_ | new to ubuntu, i followed some howto's, noob is an understatement in my case :) | 12:36 |
| steve_ | would you advice it is better for me to try and remove the current nvidia driver? | 12:37 |
| Daviey | wait 1 | 12:38 |
| steve_ | ok | 12:39 |
| Daviey | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia <--- that's quite a good guide | 12:39 |
| steve_ | ok thank you, i'm going to start over with that info | 12:40 |

| superm1 | Daviey, you say my ubiquity changes? | 02:17 |
| Daviey | i did say anything ;) | 02:17 |
| Daviey | didn't! | 02:17 |
| Daviey | Daviey, if your gonna be pedantic, at least get it right <grin> | 02:18 |
| Daviey | superm1, /mythbuntu/ubiquity/src/ubiquity-1.4.1mythbuntu1/ubiquity/frontend/ubiquity.glade <- definitely that file you changed? | 02:19 |

| gardengnome | kinda OT, but... do any of you use amarok? it's crashing here all the time and i'd like to find a fellow ubuntu user. | 02:23 |
| gardengnome | complaining together is much more fun | 02:24 |
| Daviey | gardengnome, not used it significantly - i prefer rhythmbox | 02:25 |
| Daviey | can you reproduce it? | 02:25 |
| a5benwillis | Can anyone tell me how to get rid of "hdb i/o errors" while trying to install Ubuntu 6.10???? | 02:25 |
| a5benwillis | trying to install so I can install myth of course :) | 02:25 |
| Daviey | a5benwillis, simple answer - try 7.04 | 02:25 |
| a5benwillis | think its a driver issue? | 02:26 |
| Daviey | dunno tbh - but the mythpackages in feisty are *much* better | 02:26 |
| gardengnome | Daviey: it happens daily, but i don't have any specific procedures to make it happen. but you're right, i should get a backtrace instead of whining | 02:26 |
| Daviey | gardengnome, or just try and drop as many Qt apps as you can | 02:26 |
| gardengnome | Daviey: what do you mean by "drop"? | 02:27 |
| === Daviey doesn't generally like KDE apps :) | ||
| gardengnome | ah | 02:27 |
| gardengnome | i'm exclusively using KDE | 02:27 |
| gardengnome | gnome gives me fits. ;) | 02:27 |
| Daviey | that is fixable | 02:27 |
| Daviey | apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 02:28 |
| gardengnome | no, i really don't ant to. | 02:28 |
| gardengnome | want* | 02:28 |
| Daviey | heh | 02:28 |
| gardengnome | i'd rather eat broken glass | 02:28 |
| gardengnome | you know, it's just one of these things. :) | 02:28 |
| gardengnome | or i'd rather go back to fluxbox | 02:28 |
| Daviey | I used to be a huge KDE fan... but since gnome 2+ i quite like it | 02:29 |
| gardengnome | i never liked those bloaty desktop environments | 02:30 |
| Daviey | How did i get to have 33 instances of firefox open? | 02:30 |
| gardengnome | gnome takes too much 'freedom' away from its users... | 02:30 |
| gardengnome | heh | 02:30 |
| gardengnome | i usually have like 200 tabs open in firefox | 02:31 |
| Daviey | I'm scared of tabs | 02:31 |
| gardengnome | hum | 02:31 |
| gardengnome | is that related to your gnome habit? | 02:31 |
| gardengnome | ;) | 02:31 |
| Daviey | where did superm1 go? | 02:31 |
| gardengnome | he's still logged in | 02:32 |
| Daviey | he asked me a question - the disappeared | 02:32 |
| Daviey | bed time is looming | 02:32 |
| gardengnome | true | 02:32 |
| gardengnome | 2:30 here | 02:32 |
| Daviey | your worse than i am! | 02:33 |
| gardengnome | why? i've got another four weeks without school | 02:33 |
| Daviey | heh.. i've got another 8 hours before work | 02:35 |
| Daviey | better get some sleep | 02:35 |
| Daviey | nn | 02:35 |
| gardengnome | pure luxury ;) | 02:35 |
| gardengnome | g'night | 02:35 |
| superm1 | Daviey, | 02:38 |
| superm1 | i'm here | 02:38 |
| gardengnome | wb superm1 | 02:40 |
| gardengnome | he's gone ;) | 02:40 |

| steve_ | hi daviey, are you still around? | 02:42 |
| === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv | ||
| gardengnome | superm1: have you got a few minutes? someone pointed out to me that "libmyth-0.20-dev" should be called "libmyth-dev" - you can't have two libmyth-0.XX-dev packages isntalled concurrently because the some files would conflict. | 02:50 |
| superm1 | gardengnome, i'll be around in a few min | 02:51 |
| superm1 | and we can chat then | 02:51 |
| superm1 | ill ping you | 02:51 |
| gardengnome | k | 02:51 |
| superm1 | gardengnome, i'm not so sure about that | 03:09 |
| superm1 | let me double check what files are installed | 03:10 |
| superm1 | ah your right, you wouldnt be able to install two concurrently | 03:11 |
| gardengnome | superm1: it looks like marillat is going to rename it to libmyth-dev | 03:11 |
| superm1 | ok | 03:11 |
| superm1 | i'll merge his changes after he makes them then | 03:11 |
| gardengnome | tino keitel contacted him about that issue | 03:11 |
| superm1 | to make sure that we do it the same | 03:11 |
| gardengnome | he is also the guy who told me about it. i can forward you that email | 03:11 |
| gardengnome | ah, good | 03:11 |
| superm1 | thanks for letting me know | 03:12 |
| gardengnome | i suppose he's going to use versioned depends to make sure that libmyth-dev matches the correct version of libmyth-0.xx-dev | 03:12 |
| gardengnome | it's all sitll a big miracle for me ;) | 03:12 |
| superm1 | \:) | 03:13 |
