[00:00] well am a newbie u can say but what's the problem? maybe i can help [00:02] i was trying to fix the drivers on my friend's computer and whaen I went to the hardware section to change the driver so she could get a 1024x768 res. after i put it on the one that is suspose to be the recommended driver i rebooted and got nothing but a black screen. anyone know how to change it back? [00:04] ouch... that i think requires editing of xserver config [00:06] press ctrl + f4 go to text based [00:06] ok then what? [00:06] yikes i had a similar issue on kubuntu 7.04 that was more than a year ago [00:07] i don't remember the location of the file :( [00:07] let me check online [00:07] ok [00:09] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:09] login text based [00:09] nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:10] ok now what? [00:10] let me try and c where i edited if i can find it i'll help u out.. [00:11] great! thank you so much [00:12] ok u have section "Device" [00:12] what's the device under there? [00:13] nope [00:13] i have "get help" "write out" "read file" "prev page" [00:13] "next page" "cut text" "cur pos" [00:14] it's blank? [00:14] that means there was no file [00:14] note that it's case sensitive X11 capital x [00:15] ok i didn't caps the x [00:16] now i have a whole bunch of writing on the main screen [00:16] nico480: there is no xorg.conf file on a new install of the beta [00:17] i didn't know that [00:17] well its not a new install of the beta [00:18] Section "Device" [00:18] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [00:18] EndSection [00:18] u c this? [00:18] nightwlkr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:18] yes [00:18] so it's configured video device [00:18] Xorg automatically detects hardware and loads the appropriate driver the majority of the time. so kubuntu ships without the config. [00:18] not any brand or driver [00:19] yes have section device identifier configured video device [00:19] so it was differnt on 7.04 ? [00:21] nico480: post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a site(the paste site linked above for example) [00:22] I can't because i am typing on my laptop and her computer can not get online until i fix this problem [00:22] nico480: does hitting alt+ctrl+f1 take you to a terminal or does the screen remain blank? [00:23] i have a terminal [00:24] nico480: type 'cat /var/log/Xorg.log', the errors x is having should be there. sounds like the driver isn't being loaded for whatever reason. [00:24] plazz: his problem is that xserver doesn't recognise the new driver he specified [00:24] he needs to manually configure it back to the old driver [00:25] it says that it has the 178 driver but was reccommended to be at 180 so when i changed it i got a black screen [00:26] so i have to ctrl-alt-f1 to get the terminal screenm [00:30] * Ev0luti0n_ boas! [00:31] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:31] this should restore to deafult state as i read online [00:32] try it === derrick_ is now known as D-Master [00:34] do i need toput in sudo or something else first? [00:35] yes if u r logged in as normal user [00:36] but i doubt u have changed root pass so sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:36] it says command not found [00:36] hello [00:36] saludos desde puerto rico [00:37] it works fine with me [00:37] check for a miss spel [00:38] and don't forget the "-" [00:38] i did check speling and had the - in there and still got command not found [00:39] odd [00:39] cause i just tried it :P [00:39] and it reconfigures everything from ur keyboard layout to graphics... [00:40] is there a way to move widgets on the panel with a hotkey? or do you have to use that menu item a couple things deep? [00:41] nico480: use tabs to fill ur text [00:41] like sudo dp tab and it will dpkg-re tab etc.. [00:42] ok i think it was just acting stupid. now what? [00:42] did u c a blue screen? [00:42] asking u questions? [00:43] yep [00:43] just follow it answering 1 by 1 [00:43] it'll get to ur video settings [00:43] ok [00:44] Where could i find a .DEB package for the 2.6.27-9 kernel? [00:44] it's the best way i could think of that i could do as a newbie..like i said i don't have much knowledge linux based [00:46] nico480: let me know if it works though :P [00:47] i don't know what to answer the first one [00:48] what's the question? [00:48] use kernel framebuffer device interface [00:49] yes i guess [00:49] well this is the xserver config so no matter what u do u will still b able to use the terminal [00:50] if i'm not mistaken [00:50] ok i went through them what now? [00:50] reboot .. sudo reboot [00:51] or sudo startx [00:53] just startx. no need to sudo it unless you explicitly want to run it as the superuser(tip: chances are you don't.) [00:54] what do u think plazz? should this work? [00:55] nico480: any luck? [00:57] yes but now does anyone know how i can give her the option of setting her resolution to 1024x768 instead of 800x600 [00:57] :D [00:58] what's her vga? [00:58] 800x600 [00:58] vga..like sis..ATI etc.. [00:58] don't know where would i find that info? [00:59] is it a built in vga? [01:00] i guess so [01:00] what's her main board then? [01:01] pls tell me where to look in ordr to tell this information [01:01] well easiest way i know of is on the mainboard [01:02] dmesg [01:02] but that tells u all hardware that linux has installed [01:03] lspci | grep VGA <- shows me at least the vga controller. (case sensitive) [01:03] lspci |grep VGA [01:03] oops [01:04] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 03) [01:04] cause i have the same issue :P but stuck on 900x600 [01:05] 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2) [01:07] nico480: checking google to c what i can find [01:08] had same issue and still have with my sis built in vga..went and got a an ATI pci express card back then to fix this problem [01:11] so does anyone have any idea about how i can get this setting changed? [01:12] did you install the nvidia driver? is 800x600 the highest resolution you can see in System Settings > Display? [01:13] yes 800x600 is the highest res. that she has [01:14] and you installed the driver? [01:14] nope it came with the computer [01:15] http://kubuntu-newbie.blogspot.com/2005/09/installing-nvidia.html [01:17] or u can try this way [01:17] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [01:17] sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [01:17] sudo nvidia-glx-config enable [01:19] hard way..easy way..u choose :P [01:19] :) [01:20] ok that really didn't get me anywhere honestly [01:20] why not nico480? [01:21] ok last one says command not found [01:21] did the first 2 install? [01:22] second says already newest version [01:23] and first one says you should explicitly select one to install [01:24] urs is 173 no? [01:25] yes [01:26] but it says 180 is the reccommended setting [01:26] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 [01:27] it's 35.1 mb i hope u have a fast connection..not like mine :P [01:27] after this operation 4026kb disk space will be freed continue?

[02:09] What command is used to see what wi-fi chip is installed? [02:09] Nah, I don't think that'll hurt anything [02:09] ifconfig maybe? [02:09] The wi-fi card i believe he has does not work with the new kernels. [02:10] He had it working a little bit in hardy, so i figured we would install an old kernel. [02:12] He is running a ralink RT2700E, and it does not work in the newer versions of Kubuntu, and he barely had it working in Hardy. === john is now known as johninsc [02:18] How would i get a ralink RT2700E working in 8.10?

[06:05] kubuntu 9.04 [06:05] u? [06:05] 9.10 [06:05] is it good? [06:06] can you resume from suspend?\ [06:06] i have not sure. [06:06] i'm new in ubuntu. [06:06] i'm testing it, how to use it. [06:07] yes it is great, the only thing i am having trouble with is resume from suspend and there is an issue with the policy kit that is used for packages, so i have to install from the command line but that is alright for beta [06:07] i sort of am as well. i used redhat and mandrake years back but was a mac user for the last few years. now i am back and using ubuntu for the first time. [06:08] well, kubuntu [06:08] ah ha, Good.. [06:08] i ran ubuntu 8.10 for the first few weeks on my old powerbook g4 but now i have a newer hp [06:08] yes, i like it much better than commercial os's [06:08] sound's great. [06:08] me too, so i'm going to use it. [06:09] is it automatically to update from Beta to stable version [06:09] i mean graphic mode (no command line) [06:09] i am not sure, i hope so. i've begun customization [06:10] because now i'm downloading ubuntu 9.10 and i don't know about that. [06:10] the gui for packages of any kind is having a problem with authentication so it may be possible if they fix that, then upgrade the policy kit from command line then use gui for the distro upgrade [06:10] hey is any one know where i can get a decent free virtual machine? [06:10] does* sorry [06:11] delaine, sorry not i. maybe someone does though [06:11] virtualbox [06:11] yeah should i just type that in kget ? [06:11] thanks for think though u box [06:12] you could try [06:12] i think it should be in there [06:12] ok [06:12] if not, google 'virtualbox ubuntu package' and you should find it [06:12] as a deb [06:13] i want to learn virtualmachines [06:14] yes, have u ever tried before? [06:14] which os that u need to install in virtualmachine? [06:14] no its in kget thanks! ttlong! [06:14] i mean ttong [06:39] am using kde 3.5 , can this be done that whatever folder I open it all opens in the same konqueror in another tab [07:05] Since I normally come here when #ubuntu seems to be paying no attention (and I do actually use Kubuntu), how do I compile and install ALSA 1.0.21a on Jaunty? I'm currently using OSSv4. [07:08] I like OSSv4, but various problems arise. Sound input from my webcam doesn't work, pSX emulator doesn't work, MPlayer is jerky because it doesn't interface properly with OSS and the developers don't want to fix it. [07:09] Does setting the panels min/max size work for anyone in kde4? or is it just me? or is it just kubuntu? or... i dunno, it's a bit irritating [07:12] hi, I installed gnome desktop environment on my original kubuntu environment, then in both environments the title bar of all windows is blank, although the buttons (max,min,close) exist, i cant see them. what should i do?

[07:14] kalp: i'd probably try "metacity --replace" first... see if compiz is screwing up [07:15] aftermarketgirl: what does this command do? [07:15] you'll lose all your bling, but somewhere to start [07:15] it will replace compiz window manager with metacity for the session [07:16] aftermarketgirl: only for the session , u sure? [07:16] not totally, but you can always reverse it with "compiz --replace" [07:17] aftermarketgirl: ok i am trying now [07:18] any luck? [07:18] aftermarketgirl: it did work!! thanks !! [07:18] cool [07:18] but you lost all your 3d effects [07:19] if you want to fix them... there's something wrong with your compiz config [07:19] like it's calling the wrong window decorator or something [07:20] it should be somewhere in "desktop effects" preferences or... something [07:20] dunno [07:20] i'm just some geek [07:21] but if that doesn't have a setting for it, you can install "ccsm" or "compiz config settings manager" [07:22] kalp_: crash? [07:23] aftermarketgirl: crash? no, it worked [07:23] cool [07:23] aftermarketgirl: thanks again [07:23] did you see my other rant about how your 3d effects will now be gone? [07:24] aftermarketgirl: u said no bling [07:24] yeag [07:24] yeah [07:24] aftermarketgirl: where u from? [07:24] basically your problem is in your compiz settings [07:24] denver, colorado, usa [07:25] aftermarketgirl: compiz is always causing trouble [07:25] it's calling the wrong window decorator or something [07:25] install ccsm and poke around [07:26] where are you from kalp_ === ocs is now known as faLUCE [09:11] thx to that fucking kubuntu beta now my laptop is broken up: after the kubuntu charging bar it stays in black screen forever, nice!!

[14:07] I've been hoping for a very long time that eventually there would be a patch, but until then I have a problem where while working inside of a vmware guest some of my keyboard functions stop working (ctrl, shift, caps). I have a little script that I manually execute to get them working again. [14:08] Besides putting this script in the crontab for minute execution, does anyone have any ideas how I can work around this issue? [14:11] I guess I should have mentioned that it is on my Kubuntu host where the keys stop working...they still work inside of the vmware guest environment. [14:11] VousDeux, try making a bash script and placing it in /etc/int.d , rename it to an .sh file then update runlevels with sudo update-rc.d...no gurantees but it might work [14:16] I already have a little script, that I found on the forum, that I keep on my desktop and double-click each time the keys stop working. I guess I'm too ignorant to understand your suggested solution. What should I read to become more enlightened on the subject? [14:16] !bash | VousDeux [14:16] VousDeux: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[14:18] VousDeux, read about bin/bash scipts too [14:18] Okay...thanks a bunch! [14:22] Hmmm...it would be cool if I could have the fix script automatically trigger on an error event that is triggered only when the keys stop working. [14:34] VousDeux, the vmware guest environment is windows ? [14:35] Yes. It seems to be something in Excel that breaks the keys in the host. [14:37] I use the ctrl button alot inside of Excel. [14:37] VousDeux: You can configure that hotkey in vbox iirc. [14:38] hi all [14:39] I don't know anything about vbox...I've been using VMware for many many years. [14:39] ...since version 3.2 [14:41] I wonder if there is a feature comparison somewhere that compared vbox to vmware. [14:42] where i can change the language? [14:42] k control center [14:45] I found a performance comparison that says vbox uses more RAM and does not use resources as efficiently as vmware. [14:48] Hmmm....vbox might be worth a look-see. [14:50] I wonder if I could directly convert a vmware guest to vbox. [14:51] ...or if I would have to use backup/restore. [14:52] Oh well...another project on my list at any rate...back to my Samba/LDAP project. [14:52] Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

[15:27] thx, i'll try konq-kim [15:30] Matisse, I'm trying to get it to work but not having much luck [15:39] BluesKaj, it only shows me "convert to png" etc. [15:39] nothing about the other features.. [15:44] Matisse, yeah, I'm doing some research right now ...I thought it would work , butmaybe there's some other dependencies that are required [15:47] hi [15:47] i'm new [15:48] BluesKaj, apt-get recommended some packages: sox toolame mpeg2dec a52dec [15:48] thomichan, and now? [15:48] Matisse_, http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphics/Kim-2263.shtml [15:48] what ? [15:49] yes, now what? [15:49] I'm an idiot and i think u too [15:49] nice one [15:50] you should get your own comedy show [15:50] Bye... [15:53] how do i manage the services/programs that start at startup?? [15:53] Matisse_, those remarks weren't necessary [15:55] Hm [15:55] BluesKaj: I agree. Just got back to computer [15:55] seems like it didn't motivate him/her to say what he wants [15:56] Matisse_, use the !ask prompt next time [15:56] BluesKaj, is it in a package of kubuntu? [15:56] !ask [15:56] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:56]
