| hwilde | what is the ultimate fix for resolution before submitting bug reports | 02:02 |
|---|---|---|
| hwilde | reinstall all of x ? | 02:06 |
| RAOF | The fix depends on the problem, generally. | 02:06 |
| hwilde | borked resolution | 02:08 |
| hwilde | short of clean reinstall, any way to fix it? | 02:09 |
| RAOF | Again, depends on the cause of the problem. Generally speaking, access to your Xorg.0.log is required for any debugging. | 02:09 |
| hwilde | yeah thats what I told this guy | 02:11 |
| hwilde | http://pastebin.com/f1ff38ad5 | 02:11 |
| hwilde | 1761: (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "1024x768" (width too large for virtual size) | 02:11 |

| holyguyver | hw? | 02:24 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, | 02:24 |
| hwilde | are you gonna pastebinit or what | 02:25 |
| hwilde | xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log | 02:25 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, Yes whenever you tell me the cammand | 02:25 |
| hwilde | pastebinit -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:25 |
| hwilde | pastebinit -i /var/logl/Xorg.0.log | 02:26 |
| holyguyver | http://pastebin.com/f2c8c3453 | 02:26 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, there | 02:26 |
| holyguyver | Unable to read from: /var/logl/Xorg.0.log | 02:26 |
| hwilde | its just /var/ log | 02:26 |
| hwilde | typo | 02:27 |
| holyguyver | Well you typed /var/logl | 02:27 |
| hwilde | you've been doing this all day get with the program | 02:27 |
| hwilde | don't you know about the tab key you dont have to type everything | 02:27 |
| holyguyver | http://pastebin.com/f370cd250 | 02:28 |
| hwilde | ok so you're using nv driver now | 02:28 |
| hwilde | that is a step in the right direction | 02:28 |
| hwilde | !nvidia | holyguyver | 02:29 |
| ubottu | holyguyver: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:29 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, wel already went through all of this | 02:29 |
| holyguyver | I use EnvyNG | 02:29 |
| hwilde | ok so configure your monitor | 02:29 |
| hwilde | did you read the log | 02:29 |
| hwilde | 491 (II) NV(0): Configured Monitor: Using default hsync range of 31.50-37.90 kHz | 02:29 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, it will not allow me to configure it remember. | 02:30 |
| hwilde | 492 (II) NV(0): Configured Monitor: Using default vrefresh range of 50. | 02:30 |
| hwilde | 513 (II) NV(0): Configured Monitor: Using default vrefresh range of 50. | 02:30 |
| hwilde | (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) | 02:30 |
| hwilde | it's not using the resolution you want because of the default hsync and vrefresh | 02:30 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, it will not allow me to configure it remember. it keeps on reverting back. | 02:30 |
| hwilde | RAOF, last chance before reinstalling from scratch? | 02:31 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, we already did the last chance 12 hours ago :'( | 02:31 |
| hwilde | submit a bug report then | 02:32 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, I don't know how :'( | 02:32 |
| hwilde | !bug | holyguyver | 02:33 |
| ubottu | holyguyver: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 02:33 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, So as I said when I do a reinstall I now know to never ever evere ever ever update my kernam & headers again, because it keeps on causing this problem. | 02:33 |
| hwilde | that would be your choice | 02:34 |
| hwilde | I like to get all the updates | 02:34 |
| hwilde | live on the edge | 02:34 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, every time I go to file a bug report it keeps asking me to create an account with launchpad. | 02:34 |
| hwilde | and then | 02:35 |
| holyguyver | I choose not to create an account | 02:35 |
| * hwilde blank stare | 02:35 | |
| holyguyver | So I am unable to file bug reports. | 02:36 |
| Hobbsee | so... | 02:38 |
| hwilde | so it only takes like 20minutes to reinstall | 02:39 |
| hwilde | assuming fast enough cdrom and harddrive write speed | 02:39 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, Yes but first I have to backup my 10GBs of HOMe & my 100 plus customely added apps. | 02:40 |
| holyguyver | Which is what I am doing right noe | 02:41 |
| holyguyver | now | 02:41 |
| hwilde | how much free space do you have | 02:41 |
| hwilde | just make a new partition in the free space and install there | 02:41 |
| holyguyver | I am not sure, that is hard to find out in Natue*** | 02:41 |
| holyguyver | The file manager :p | 02:41 |
| hwilde | type in "df -ha" | 02:42 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, I have 4 partisions as I already told you but I have trouble figuring out how to install my home partision on another partision | 02:42 |
| hwilde | holyguyver, specify your vrefresh and hsync in the xorg.conf to get rid of the errors | 02:46 |
| hwilde | 513: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) | 02:46 |
| hwilde | 517: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) | 02:47 |
| hwilde | and specify the default mode 1024x768 | 02:48 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, how do I specify that, if I pastbin my xorg can you specify that for me? | 02:49 |
| hwilde | what kinda monitor | 02:50 |
| hwilde | want to see mine? | 02:50 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, Gateway EV700 | 02:50 |
| hwilde | dont be jealous now http://pastebin.com/f154ed97a | 02:50 |
| hwilde | HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 | 02:52 |
| hwilde | VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 | 02:52 |
| hwilde | Option "dpms" | 02:52 |
| hwilde | put that in Section "Monitor" | 02:52 |
| holyguyver | Yeah can you just pastbin what I need then I can delete my xorg.conf & fill it with yours | 02:52 |
| holyguyver | yours for me | 02:52 |
| hwilde | don't be lazy just add those three lines where I told you | 02:53 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, I don't know where to add them | 02:53 |
| nullack | Why specify hard coded display values in xorg?? | 02:53 |
| nullack | It leads to trouble | 02:53 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, I am not being lazy, I do not understand what you are directing me to do | 02:53 |
| hwilde | he has errors in his Xorg.0.log | 02:54 |
| hwilde | 513: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) | 02:54 |
| hwilde | 517: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) | 02:54 |
| hwilde | i think specifying them would get rid of those errors | 02:55 |
| nullack | Upgrade to Intrepid and go minimal xorg :) IMHO | 02:55 |
| nullack | Provided its not a production machine and hes willing to test :) | 02:55 |
| hwilde | yes thank you | 02:55 |
| hwilde | live on the edge!! | 02:55 |
| nullack | I do :) | 02:55 |
| hwilde | it's already broken | 02:55 |
| hwilde | what's the worst that could happen | 02:55 |
| holyguyver | nullack, it is a production machine | 02:56 |
| RAOF | nullack: I'm not sure that would work. I'd _guess_ that the underlying problem here is a problem with the monitor's DDC/EDID reporting. | 02:56 |
| hwilde | yeah | 02:56 |
| hwilde | thanks Gateway | 02:56 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, you have to realize this is one of those old two foot thick monitors. | 02:56 |
| * hwilde knows | 02:56 | |
| hwilde | what a gateway ev700 is | 02:56 |
| hwilde | ty | 02:56 |
| holyguyver | Yes | 02:56 |
| nullack | ROAF He can pull EDID | 02:56 |
| hwilde | now are you going to specify them or what | 02:57 |
| nullack | Morning Chris, BTW :) | 02:57 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, Specify what? | 02:57 |
| hwilde | http://pastebin.com/m6dfb42dc | 02:59 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, so I replace my xorgconf with that? | 03:01 |
| hwilde | no you just keep your current broken config | 03:01 |
| holyguyver | I do? :'( | 03:01 |
| hwilde | no I was being sarcastic. what you said is what you should do | 03:03 |
| hwilde | what are you afraid of breaking it | 03:03 |
| hwilde | it's already broken | 03:03 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, Alright, so how do I open xorg again? | 03:03 |
| holyguyver | gksu gedit /src/x11/xorg.conf | 03:04 |
| holyguyver | ? | 03:04 |
| hwilde | close | 03:04 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, then what is it? | 03:04 |
| hwilde | locate xorg.conf | 03:04 |
| holyguyver | gksu gedit /src/x11/locate/xorg.conf ? | 03:05 |
| hwilde | no just type in | 03:05 |
| hwilde | locate xorg.conf | 03:05 |
| holyguyver | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:06 |
| holyguyver | Alright I am now going to restart x & I will be back in a few minutes to tell you how it reverted back :p | 03:08 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, | 03:08 |
| hwilde | minutes? | 03:08 |
| hwilde | ctrl+alt+backspace | 03:08 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, You are my new God, it worked. | 03:10 |
| hwilde | http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125368 | 03:12 |
| hwilde | Reload this Page Gateway EV700 CRT Monitor Refresh Rates | 03:12 |
| hwilde | copied the monitor section right outta the page | 03:12 |
| hwilde | google ftw | 03:12 |
| hwilde | holyguyver, you should probably make a backup of that file now. | 03:12 |
| holyguyver | How do I back it up? | 03:13 |
| hwilde | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.before-i-messed-it-up | 03:13 |
| holyguyver | Alright, thank you. | 03:14 |
| holyguyver | Bows down & worships hwilde | 03:15 |
| hwilde | now go buy a better monitor | 03:16 |

| hwilde | since like the 90s | 03:16 |
| hwilde | you can get like 22" widescreen lcd for $200 | 03:17 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, I have been planning on getting one for a long time, but I have trouble leaving my house as I have been under house arrest for 9 years. | 03:17 |
| holyguyver | I ordered this PC of the internet though, do you know a good monitor selling website? | 03:18 |
| hwilde | is this what your computer looks like http://images.pcworld.com/reviews/graphics/57665-20561b.jpg | 03:18 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, that is what my monitor looks like, but my computer is a brand new hp pavillion | 03:19 |
| hwilde | for $448 from www.dell.com/ubuntu you can get a whole tower preinstalled with ubuntu and it comes with a 19" widescreen flat panel | 03:21 |
| jjesse | nice | 03:21 |
| jjesse | hwilde: i got one of those new dell mini 9's coming :) | 03:21 |
| hwilde | nice | 03:21 |
| holyguyver | hwilde, I just got a computer, I don't need a computer only a monitor, preferablly a 24 inch & around 100$ | 03:21 |

| wgrant | Damn, I see that I triggered Launchpad's comment-snipping. | 03:45 |
| * RAOF wonders idly why 'abrowser' isn't 'iceweasel' | 03:49 | |
| wgrant | RAOF: I suspect that "Web Browser" sounds less strange than "Iceweasel" | 03:50 |
| RAOF | The same could be said of firefox. | 03:50 |
| wgrant | Definitely. | 03:51 |
| wgrant | But it is a well-known name. | 03:51 |
| hggdh | because it got famous. abrowser could, eventually reach the same level (and, who knows, also get an EULA ;-) | 03:51 |
| wgrant | abrowser is actually branded "Web Browser" | 03:53 |
| hggdh | s/abrowser/Web Browser/ # correction acked, but the assertion is still true | 03:54 |
| hggdh | the fact that we have now both of them already points to non-complete agreement | 03:54 |
| wgrant | Firefox, Iceweasel, Burning Dog, Web Browser | 03:56 |
| hggdh | meanwhile I think I made launchpad barf on an apport-generated report for virtualbox... | 03:57 |
| hggdh | wgrant, the pity of this is it ends up being Mozilla's loss: only FFox is known, none of the others | 03:57 |
| wgrant | How is that Mozilla's loss? | 03:58 |
| hggdh | the brand is diluted by the name forks | 03:59 |
| wgrant | Right. | 03:59 |
