| bsnyder | i just installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop using the all alt cd - it worked just fine | 19:05 |
| bsnyder | then i installed the edubuntu 8.10 add-on, rebooting and now x won't start | 19:06 |
| bsnyder | i'm seeing errors like, x server fails to start... no screens found | 19:06 |
| bsnyder | so i went thru both installs again - same problem | 19:07 |
| bsnyder | any suggestions? has anyone else experienced this? | 19:07 |
| sbalneav | Don't think so, but maybe you could tell us what kind of video hardware you have? | 19:08 |
| sbalneav | it may be a simple fix. | 19:08 |
| sbalneav | For 8.10, there shouldn't be anything in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Is yours empty? | 19:11 |
| bsnyder | it's an older pc so i don't know off-hand - let me try to take a peek at the card | 19:11 |
| bsnyder | it's an ATI card, but i'm not sure what model | 19:14 |
| bsnyder | and the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is not empty | 19:14 |
| bsnyder | it contains some basic stuff but not enough for X to boot | 19:14 |
| bsnyder | sbalneav: ^^^ | 19:16 |
| sbalneav | then what I'd try doing is moving it out of the way, and replacing it with an empty xorg.conf | 19:17 |
| sbalneav | see if that works. | 19:17 |
| bsnyder | ok, i'll give that a shot | 19:17 |
| bsnyder | nope, no dice | 19:19 |
| sbalneav | how are you restarting? With invoke-rc.d gdm restart? | 19:20 |
| sbalneav | I'm off to a meeting. However, failing that, you could always do an "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to reconfigure the X server. | 19:24 |
| sbalneav | I'll be back in a couple of hours if you still need me. | 19:24 |
| bsnyder | well that's what i've been doing, but it only walks me thru the keyboard setup | 19:24 |
| bsnyder | for some reason, it's not walkign me thru the video config at all | 19:24 |
| Lns | hrmm...ubuntu wiki format is so strange. When logged out of my acct, it doesn't show the horizontal lines under the == Title == headers, but when I *am* logged in, it shows them. I've cleared my cache and all, to. | 19:28 |
| Lns | too* | 19:28 |
