Guest33605can anyone tell me the differences between ubuntu and kubuntu? are there more options in the menus?00:44
TaladanUbuntu uses the gnome window manager and kubuntu uses KDE00:44
favro!kde00:45
ubottuKDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde400:45
Guest33605well i was in this thing in ubuntu with all these new menu options and then my hard drive crashed00:45
MrKennieGuest33605: ouch :(00:47

MrKenniemartin_: that is unusual I have to admit.01:43
N_GhTMrKennie: Nope, Nothing.01:44
MrKenniemartin_: did you ever install the nvidia drivers since installing kubuntu or did you just use the defaults?01:44

MrKennieyou're welcome.02:09
MrKennieN_GhT: I think for some reason the driver locked your card into mute02:10
N_GhTMrKennie: Yeah that's odd... I did the HDAIntel fix and rebooted, looked up the snd_ string, everything was fine but no sound... Heh... Guess you had to do it :P02:11
MrKennieN_GhT: you will probably want to adjust the PCM back to a good level again. No doubt you've been slapping that around a bit :)02:11
N_GhTMrKennie: True ^'02:12

ubottuenvyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!!  if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk02:36
martin_MrKennie: do i get them from the adept manager?02:37

martin_MrKennie: im thinking about reinstalling03:26
MrKenniemartin_: only other thing I can think of trying is using the Monitor & display settings to manually set your monitor make and model and that should add the modes you need.03:30
MrKenniemartin_: I think your monitor is in the list too.03:30
martin_will try03:34

martin_actualy thats the crt that works fine, it's my acer AL2216W03:35
MrKennieit's in the list and the only thing I can think of that may get nvidia and your monitor to play nice with each other03:36
MrKennieah I see03:36
MrKenniewell from your logs it seemed nvidia had trouble reading the edid information from your viewsonic03:37

jparishyIf you boot up a livecd, you can than reinstall grub04:08
jparishyEither through the grub shell or grub-install, google should help there04:09
martin_MrKennie: what does this mean: there is a new nvidia driver released that I read fixed a lot of issues with the 8800 and up.. it's on the nvidia site.  To install follow the instructions but if it's not mentioned you have to be in a different tty and have gdm stopped.04:10
