| Balsaq | how can i get to bios | 07:56 |
| nonie | hello just installed xubuntu 9.10. My builtin vga card is unichrome. | 07:56 |
| nonie | unfortunately it only shows 800X600 | 07:56 |
| nonie | how can i adjust the setting to 1024 X 768? | 07:57 |
| Balsaq | settings.display | 07:58 |
| Balsaq | applications>settings>display | 07:58 |
| Balsaq | applications is in the top left of your screen... | 07:58 |
| nonie | yep ive been there but it only shows 800 X 600 and 640 X 480 | 07:59 |
| Balsaq | hmmm...mine shows 15 or more choices? | 08:00 |
| Balsaq | sounds like you need a driver | 08:00 |
| nonie | it was suggested to load the openchrome file from the repository but it yields the same thing. | 08:00 |
| Balsaq | hmmm...we need Techie (Lord of all xubuntu Techs...where art thou?) | 08:01 |
| Balsaq | i am also a newbie | 08:02 |
| nonie | yep yep... need help...this has been my problem since the beginning of my ubuntu and xubuntu install | 08:02 |
| Balsaq | what are your specs | 08:02 |
| nonie | oh mee too. kept on testing different distros. | 08:02 |
| nonie | i will check now. | 08:02 |
| Balsaq | maybe it is some limitation imosed by your hardware? | 08:03 |
| nonie | i guess so... | 08:04 |
| Balsaq | how old is your set | 08:04 |
| nonie | i used windows xp and 2000 and the display is detected properly with the drivers of microsoft. | 08:04 |
| nonie | and i am switching totally to linux except that i am faced with this problem | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | thre is a place in here where you can try different drivers...looking | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | synaptic maybe? | 08:05 |
| nonie | yep i have loaded almost all drivers in the repository | 08:06 |
| Balsaq | hmmm... | 08:06 |
| Balsaq | sounds like when i tried to make a linksys wireless adapter run on puppy linux...tried every driver...no go. hard wired it | 08:06 |
| Balsaq | sometimes you just hit the wall | 08:07 |
| Balsaq | my next guess would be to contact the manufacturer | 08:07 |
| Balsaq | of your graphics card | 08:07 |
| Techie | never fear, "I" is here | 08:08 |
| Balsaq | spiderman! | 08:08 |
| * Techie slaps bal on the side of the head | 08:08 | |
| Balsaq | i knew he was nearby! | 08:09 |
| Techie | nonie, lspci | grep VGA please | 08:09 |
| nonie | ok holdon | 08:09 |
| Techie | actually bal, i wasnt nearby... i was watching top gear in the lounge | 08:10 |

| nonie | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01) | 08:10 |
| nonie | any suggestions | 08:11 |
| Techie | do you know the exact model number? | 08:11 |
| nonie | no its builtin with compaq presario SR1215CB AMD Sempron | 08:12 |
| Techie | kk | 08:12 |
| Techie | i figured it was built in, same problem but without an answer - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1142457.html | 08:13 |
| nonie | tnx ill read hold on/ | 08:13 |
| Techie | dont bother reading | 08:13 |
| Techie | theres no real helpful answer | 08:14 |
| nonie | no use huh, the only way is put another vga card. | 08:14 |
| Techie | do you have another VGA card? | 08:14 |
| nonie | wat brand can u suggest nvidia or ati | 08:14 |
| Techie | depends on your system | 08:14 |
| Techie | and what you want to do | 08:14 |
| nonie | i have some old vga cards, i will check to let you know. | 08:15 |
| Techie | are you looking at AGP or PCIe? | 08:15 |
| nonie | I think I have the AGP | 08:15 |
| Techie | dual screen or single display? | 08:16 |
| nonie | just single. can i install it immediately and disable the online vga. | 08:17 |
| nonie | will i have any problems booting it up or do I have to reinstall xubuntu again. | 08:17 |
| Techie | you should be fine | 08:17 |
| Techie | may i ask if you had a card in mind? | 08:17 |
| nonie | i think its an nvidia card, just cant remember the model | 08:18 |
| nonie | i have to get it from my pile of junk. | 08:18 |
| Techie | hrmm, i havent had any experience with nvidia so far, ive used ATI most of my life and have just recently bought a brand spanking new ATI Radeon HD3650 | 08:18 |
| Techie | haha, pile of junk.... i have one of those too | 08:19 |
| nonie | wow, pretty awesome. | 08:19 |
| Techie | payed through the nose for it though | 08:19 |
| Techie | what currency do you use? | 08:19 |
| nonie | lol. | 08:19 |
| Techie | USD? | 08:19 |
| nonie | US$ | 08:19 |
| Techie | 88.41352 U.S. dollars | 08:20 |
| nonie | kewl. | 08:20 |
| nonie | seems 9.10 is awesome.. | 08:20 |
| Techie | compared to if i bought it in PCIe, 51.81852 U.S. dollars | 08:20 |
| Techie | roughly | 08:21 |
| nonie | much cheaper . | 08:21 |
| Techie | not in the long run, coz if i did i would have to buy a new motherboard aswell | 08:21 |
| nonie | this is the only problem i am facing with ubuntu. | 08:21 |
| Techie | which would have set me back another 65.87100 U.S. dollars | 08:21 |
| nonie | lol.btw have you managed to make it work using dual monitors? | 08:22 |
| Techie | think youself lucky then, many users have decided to completely shove ubuntu due to karmic | 08:22 |
| Techie | i run a dual head ATI system | 08:22 |
| Techie | unfortunately i havent recieved my hd3650 yet | 08:22 |
| Techie | so im still stuck with my Radeon 9600XT | 08:23 |
| nonie | are the drivers fully supported. wat website can i look for the vga compatibility with ubuntu | 08:23 |
| Techie | the manufacturers sites give a decent idea if the card is well supported | 08:23 |
| Techie | however in the case of ATI there is an open source alternative that works with most of the older cards extremely well | 08:24 |
| Techie | so while the manufacturer may not support unix, the open source community may support that card | 08:24 |
| nonie | really? i thought ati has been closed source before | 08:24 |
| Techie | it is | 08:25 |
| Techie | they make the FGLRX driver, however there is an opensource driver set, that includes the r128 and radeon drivers | 08:25 |
| Techie | however they lack support with the newer HD cards | 08:25 |
| nonie | nice. never thought of that. whenever someone ask for a good vga card compatilbe to linus | 08:26 |
| nonie | its always nvidia | 08:26 |
| Techie | yeah | 08:26 |
| Techie | i agree | 08:26 |
| nonie | ill put that on mind. Great source of info man. Thanks a lot. | 08:26 |
| Techie | but i am an ATI fan and most likely will always use ATI | 08:27 |
| nonie | lol/ as long as it works man, I'm in. | 08:27 |
| Techie | yeah, thats the attitude | 08:27 |
| nonie | I will let you know guys my video card and install it immediately to my desktop. | 08:27 |
| Techie | yeah, when you decide give us the model and we can do some research | 08:28 |
| nonie | the built in card is very crappy. icons and fonts are not proportional... | 08:28 |
| nonie | yep. your a big help. tnx. | 08:28 |
| nonie | gotta go for now. its 1230am here in cali. | 08:29 |
| nonie | how about you ? | 08:29 |
| Techie | 9:29PM New Zealand | 08:29 |
| nonie | kewl, ubuntu guru i should say. How long have u been using it? | 08:30 |
| Techie | not that long actually | 08:30 |
| nonie | using it personally or office? | 08:31 |
| Techie | ive been using it properly (more than just doing random stuff) for a bit more than a year | 08:31 |
| nonie | kewl | 08:31 |
| Techie | personally, im a game server tech | 08:31 |
| Techie | unqualified and unemployed | 08:31 |
| nonie | i am just doing it personally. I setup one in my office but for desktop only | 08:31 |
| nonie | but sooner or later i will use it as a server. just trying to make it userfriendly and | 08:32 |
| nonie | appealing to the window lovers. | 08:32 |
| nonie | you might as well sell units loaded with xubuntu for a good price. always cheaper | 08:33 |
| nonie | than microsoft man. | 08:33 |
| nonie | ok man tnx a lot gotta go...past midnight already. ill let you know tomorrow then. | 08:34 |
| Techie | kk, see you sometime | 08:34 |
| Techie | i wont be on tommorow afternoon, my brothers wedding | 08:34 |
| nonie | kewl. ill just standby in the chatroom, maybe someone can still help tech savvy like u | 08:35 |
| nonie | signing off. | 08:35 |
| Balsaq | when you look at a cd that you just burned...can you actually see the burn marks? | 08:43 |
| Techie | serious question? | 08:44 |
| Balsaq | cause i can't get my xubuntu cd that i burned to do anything | 08:44 |
| Balsaq | well my puppy disc ican see a halo on it | 08:44 |
| Techie | in all seriousness if you angle the disc to the light you should see a ring | 08:44 |
| Balsaq | but cant see anything on the xubuntu | 08:44 |
| Balsaq | must of messed up my 1st burn | 08:44 |
| Techie | have you put it into one of your working systems to see if if it actually has anything on it | 08:45 |
| Balsaq | trying right now to run it in my puppy computer | 08:45 |
| BeGu | that's why I never tried puppy, wouldn't want to call my laptop a puppy :) | 08:46 |
| Balsaq | well this one computer is only 400mgz...so i had to kind of limit it | 08:47 |
| Balsaq | oh well while i am in puppy i amy as well try to reinstall grub so i wont have to keep using the disc to get to sda1 | 08:50 |
| Balsaq | swear i installed grub on this boat anchor? | 08:51 |
| Techie | im gonna head to bed | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | ok later | 08:51 |

| steven__ | Someone help me decide as to whether I should be using 64-bit or 32-bit os? | 12:36 |
| _Pete_ | 64bit | 12:36 |
| _Pete_ | if your cpu supports | 12:36 |
| steven__ | Core 2 Duo | 12:36 |
| steven__ | only 3 GB of RAM tho | 12:37 |
| _Pete_ | 64bit is faster on many (calculate related) things | 12:37 |
| steven__ | What about loading most applications? | 12:38 |
| _Pete_ | 32bit apps still works | 12:38 |
| _Pete_ | if there are no 64bit versions | 12:38 |
| Sysi | flash don't work from repositories | 12:38 |
| _Pete_ | yes it does | 12:38 |
| Sysi | starting when? | 12:38 |
| steven__ | Yes, but I wonder if they load faster in 32-bit as opposed to 64 or if the difference is negligible | 12:38 |
| _Pete_ | works fine with my 9.04 | 12:39 |
| _Pete_ | with firefox | 12:39 |
| _Pete_ | just install flashplugin-nonfree | 12:39 |
| Sysi | 64bit and restricted extras? | 12:39 |
| steven__ | No flash works with 64-bit regular Ubuntu that I have seen | 12:39 |
| Sysi | yes, it works | 12:39 |
| Sysi | but it almost everytime need to be done differently | 12:39 |
| Sysi | from repos it works badly | 12:40 |
| _Pete_ | ? | 12:40 |
| Sysi | but that's not any reason to not get 64bit | 12:40 |
| steven__ | I am going to stay with 32-bit | 12:40 |
| steven__ | Seems faster | 12:40 |
| steven__ | even with Core 2 Duo | 12:40 |
| steven__ | I can't live without Adobe flash lol | 12:41 |
| stevensj | Hi All. Has anyone used the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package in Karmic? I am having problems with the screen resolution on a Packard Bell laptop, and from reading forum posts, this might help. Will I need to generate an xorg.conf afterwards, or should it just work? | 12:52 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 15:25 |
| MaxFrames | I have a problem with synaptic in karmic xubuntu: almost ALL packages that are listed under "Installed" are ALSO listed under "Installed (manual)" | 15:25 |
| MaxFrames | if I select all the packages (bar the ones which were really manually installed by me) and mark them "automatically installed" (packages menu), they move from "Installed (manual)" to "Installed (autoremovable)" | 15:27 |
| MaxFrames | and of course if I autoremove the whole system will be uninstalled! | 15:27 |
| MaxFrames | anybody? | 15:49 |
| epc | hi. need help with a problem that is preventing me to logon. who could help? | 16:32 |
| _Pete_ | only if you tell what the problem is | 16:34 |
| epc | hi _Pete_. wh | 16:34 |
| epc | I just installed a xubuntu in my laptop. after doing the first logon, whenever ai try to logon again I got an authentication failure. | 16:35 |
| epc | this happens with every account. first logon ok. second got an authentication failure. | 16:35 |
| epc | the only unusual thing about this notebook is that the battery is dead. | 16:36 |
| epc | I' just made fresh a install yesterday, and today could not logon anymore. I can logon however if I went in recovery mode, resume to normal boot and the startxfce4. | 16:37 |
| epc | could this somehow be related with the batter problem? | 16:38 |
| _Pete_ | no idea | 16:39 |
| epc | what could make gdm fail to authenticate (apart from wrong user/pwd)? | 16:40 |
| _Pete_ | some nasty bug? | 16:44 |
| _Pete_ | using 9.10? | 16:44 |
| epc | yes. | 16:44 |
| _Pete_ | I was about to upgrade today | 16:45 |
| _Pete_ | but maybe wise not to do so | 16:45 |
| epc | fresh install. made it yesterday due to this problem. | 16:45 |
| epc | I'm not sure if its unsafe. I thing the problem is related to battery power, somehow. | 16:46 |
