OrgullomooreI found someone who had the same problem as recent as 4 days ago, jrib, but they couldn't fix it eitehr02:04
Orgullomoorehttp://www.docunext.com/2007/05/31/xfonts-scalable-bug/#more-66402:05
jribI had this problem too02:05
jribit's fixable :)02:05
Orgullomoorejrib: is it this one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/6340802:06
jribI think that's different02:08
Orgullomoorehmm...seems similar02:08
jribwell the error that you get with configuring xfonts-scalable is the issue02:09
Orgullomooreokie02:09
=== MED [n=chatzill@adsl196-75-31-206-196.adsl196-1.iam.net.ma] has left #ubuntu-classroom []
jribalright, lets do this02:09
jribedit your sources.list and change the "dapper" stuff to "edgy"02:09
Orgullomooredone02:12
jribalright, 'sudo apt-get update'02:12
Orgullomoorelol, I thought this was the bad way to do it :-D02:13
jrib"not preferred" :)02:13
Orgullomooreok, finished that part02:13
jribi just want to see if it's this particular version of xfonts-scalable that's the problem or if it's elsewhere02:13
jrib'sudo apt-get install xfonts-scalable'02:13
Orgullomoorexfonts-scalable is already the newest version.02:14
Orgullomooreand it gave me that same error that I pasted before...02:14
jribsudo apt-get --reinstall install xfonts-scalable02:14
OrgullomooreReinstallation of xfonts-scalable is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.02:15
jribeh?02:15
jribapt-cache policy xfonts-scalable02:15
jribwhat version?02:15
Orgullomoore  Installed: 1:1.0.0-602:16
jriboh, it's feisty02:16
Orgullomoorelet's get rid of it! :-D02:16
Orgullomooretoo feisty for me02:16
jribI think you are best trying to finish getting to feisty02:16
Orgullomoorealright, then let's make that work02:17
Orgullomooreeither way02:17
jribthere are probably many others that are still feisty02:17
jribedit your sources.list again and change it to "feisty"02:17

Orgullomoorejrib: umm...too much for me to know, pasting...02:20
Orgullomoorejrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26515/02:20
jribnothing essential gets removed, so you should be ok02:22
jribthis will take a while02:22
Orgullomooreok02:23
Orgullomooreis this gonna fix my problem?02:23
jribnot by itself02:23
Orgullomooreoh I see02:23
Orgullomoorejrib: hmm..so are you gonna stick around for a while-02:35
Orgullomoore?02:35
jribyeah02:38
Orgullomooreok, good02:39
jribhow long does it say the download will take?02:39
Orgullomoorewe're on get 309...I don't know how many gets there are supposed to be02:39
jrib~100002:40
Orgullomoore19m32s, maybe that's the one?02:40
Orgullomoorebut that number fluctuates02:40
jribyep02:40
Orgullomoorejrib: now I got this> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26518/03:00
jribdo you use RAID?03:01
OrgullomooreI guess not, cuz I don't know what it is03:01
Orgullomoore(if not bugspray)03:01
jribyeah :)03:01
Orgullomooreso none or all_03:02
Orgullomoore??03:02

OrgullomooreI still got this error, by the way: Invalid string keyword: chassis-type03:03

Orgullomooreand it says the same thing when I try dist-upgrade03:11
jribapt-cache policy xserver-xorg-driver-savage   is it installed?03:11
OrgullomooreInstalled: 1:2.0.2.3-0ubuntu103:13
jribwell lets see what apt-get suggests.  What does 'sudo apt-get install -f' think is a good idea?03:13
Orgullomoorejrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26521/03:14
jribthe packages changed names to *video* instead of *driver* which is why this is happening03:14
jribyou comfortable if you get dropped out of X and into a shell?03:16
Orgullomooreumm...not very comfortable03:17
jribOrgullomoore: output of: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26522/03:20
Orgullomoorejrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26523/03:27
jribok, I *think* you'll be ok in X if we remove it and then add it back03:27
jribbut, just in case... do you have some way of getting back if it doesn't?03:28
jribhere's what we'll do:  we'll agree to what 'apt-get -f install' suggests, then 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop', then 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' for good measure03:28
jribwait03:30
jribI have a better idea03:30
Orgullomooregood...cuz I have no way of getting back in :-/03:30
jribtry: sudo dpkg -r xserver-xorg-driver-savage    does that succeed?03:30
jribOrgullomoore: you always have a live cd03:30
Orgullomoorejrib: dependency problems03:31
Orgullomooreyeah, I think I have an ubuntu live cd03:31
jribare you able to do 'sudo apt-get install irssi'?03:31
Orgullomooreno03:32
jribk03:32
Orgullomooreit doesn't want me to touch anything apt because of the "dependency problems"03:32
jribgo for 'sudo apt-get -f install' and if something happens that you need to go to a terminal (ctrl-alt-f1), then do 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'03:32
Orgullomooreok03:33
Orgullomooreit's unpacking a bunch of stuff..03:37
jribyeah, it installed some stuff too in addition to removing X03:37
OrgullomooreI have python 2.5 now :D03:39

Orgullomooredone, jrib05:07

Orgullomooremm...I think it already did a bunch of kubuntu stuff with that one05:09
OrgullomooreI saw a lot of K's05:09
jribafter that is done, dist-upgrade one more time to make sure it says everything is fine, reboot (cross fingers), and dist-upgrade one last time05:09
OrgullomooreJesus, that's a lot of dist-upgrades05:09
Orgullomoorehmm..and what do you recommend to get my soundcard back up?05:09
jribwell lets see what happens after the reboot05:10
Orgullomooremkay, can I skip the kubuntu-desktop part for now?05:10
jribsure05:11
Orgullomooreso am I to run another dist-upgrade or just reboot?05:11
jribjust dist-upgrade once to make sure it's done05:11

jribOrgulloKmoore: sudo aptitude reinstall alsa-base05:26
jrib!sound05:26
ubotuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP305:26
jribI'm not that great at debugging sound, but you can try reinstalling alsa and the tips above.  And try #ubuntu.  I don't know if it would help but you can see if there are any options in system -> preferences -> sounds too05:27
OrgulloKmoorehmpf, looks like I've got some troubleshooting to do, that didn't work, jrib05:28
OrgulloKmoorewell you've been a great help05:28
OrgulloKmooreone last question...how do I change the screen resolution?05:28
jribcheck bugs.ubuntu.com for similar issues too05:28
OrgulloKmooreeverything's all tiny05:28

jribhmm05:29
jribtry #kubuntu?05:29
jribif the gui app doesn't list what you want, see:05:29

ubotuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto05:29
