biovoreanyone know how to get lynx to boot and not start X?   Is there kernel command line to make it so it dosn't start X.05:46
crimsunboot into single-user, disable gdm, then continue05:49
biovoresingle start X ,  X kills box..05:49
biovorethus no console :-(05:49
crimsuntried specifying init explicitly, then?05:50
biovorecan't get a console to do that..05:50
biovorecould make it not start gdm.. but if I can't get a console I can't do any of these methods..05:51
crimsunyou can't get to a grub menu?05:51
biovoreyes05:51
crimsunyou can? then pass init=/bin/sh05:51
biovoreuse to be able to do a -b and get it to drop to a shell..05:51
biovoreyeah.. I can try that..05:51
biovorehmm that show some promise..  But seems to just stalls..  Dosn't seem to spawn a sh05:54
biovorefinishes /scripts/init-bottom from the ramdisk then just stops..05:54
biovoreinit=/bin/bash -b worked though..  thanks05:58

CosmiChaoshow to stop GDM/X in TTY in +1. on execution of "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" (like it used to work) it wont and recommends to run "service gdm stop", on doing that it just says: stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.56" (uid=1000 pid=13070 comm="stop) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Stop" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin15:52
CosmiChaos/init))15:52
CosmiChaosfound it out myself howto stop gdm/x, superuser does the job from inside a X terminal (sudo service gdm stop) that shut it down and took me to TTY1 ;)15:57
CosmiChaosheres how i found out how to get around the crazy boot-animation/TTY graphic issues i had. grub booted my kernels automatically with vga=795, i just removed them from the menu.lst, its just low res but its ok for terminal and bootanim.16:00

SoftwareExplorerDoes anyone know how to get the nvidia driver working in Lucid?21:28
yofelSoftwareExplorer: use the drivers  from the nvidia vdpau ppa21:30
yofel-.-21:30
yofelSoftwareExplorer: use the drivers  from the nvidia vdpau ppa21:30
yofelthe 190 drivers from xorg edgers should work too afaik21:31

bjsniderthe 190 or 19521:32
bjsniderthe problem with the nvidia blob in the lucid repos is that it needs to be rebuild against the new x server21:33
yofelSoftwareExplorer: yes21:33
SoftwareExploreryofel: Ok, thanks. :)21:33
knittlhi, has anybody else got problems with ureadahead (or plymouth??)21:46
knittli get a lot of error messages after grub21:47
knittlureadahead terminated with status 421:47
knittlmountall: cannot connect to plymouth21:47
knittlplymouth-log: $something21:47
knittlcannot start session: no such file or directory21:47
DanaGthat reminds me... I should file a bug report about plymouth refusing to display splash if it gets console= on the kernel command line.21:52
DanaGhttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223921:53
ubottuFreedesktop bug 22239 in plymouth general "improve console= handling" [Normal,New]21:53
DanaGthere's the existing upstream bug report.21:53
joaopintoknittl, I am getting those also21:53
joaopintoi need to boot without the splash option21:53
DanaGoh, and ureadahead exits with status 1, upon trying to preload stuff in /home21:54
bjsnideri thought there was one where plymouth wouldn't work if there were any extra kernel line options21:54
knittli tried quiet splash and splash only21:55
knittlhappens with both21:55
knittlalso starting after logging in in gdm takes a lot of bjsnider21:55
knittl* a lot of time21:55
knittllol xD21:56
knittlbjsnider: but i also got problems with nvidia drivers21:56
bjsniderit takes a lot of me?21:56
knittli have to run dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-195 almost everytime, otherwise i'll get an errorbox saying my desktop started in low graphics mode21:56
knittlbjsnider: no, a lot of time. i was faster typing than thinking :D21:57
knittl* typing faster21:57
knittlmeh :-$21:57
bjsniderdid you use jockey to install the nvidia driver?21:57
knittlwhat's jockey? i used apt-get to install them from the vdpau ppa21:58
knittlah, no i didn't use the hardware drivers manager21:58
knittlit wouldn't find them anyway21:58
bjsniderit wouldn't find what?21:59
knittlnvidia drivers22:00
bjsnideri don't see why not22:00
knittland even now it tells me there are no restricted drivers in use on my system. it won't recommend any eihter22:00
bjsnideryou're using the updated nvidia-common from hte ppa and the modaliases packages?22:01
knittlhm no22:01
knittllet me install that :)22:01
knittli was only using nvidia-glx-19522:02
bjsnideryou need the nvidia-common and the modaliases packages for jockey to work22:03
knittland a restart?22:05
bjsniderno22:06
bjsniderwell, jockey might need to restart22:06
knittlno proprietary drivers in use on this system22:07
knittlbut installing nvidia-common was a good thing to do ^^22:09
bjsniderdoes it see and recommend the 195 driver?22:10
knittlnop22:10
bjsniderdo you have the 195 modaiases package installed?22:10
knittlit doesn't show anything22:10
knittlstate: installed22:11

kariokeI have a query related to the customized ubuntu based live CD I have. Is this the correct forum for queries regarding it?23:10
bazhangkarioke, which version of ubuntu23:11
kariokebazhang, karmic. I used this to build the iso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch23:11
bazhangkarioke, this is for lucid, 10.04 ; karmic would be in #ubuntu23:12
kariokebazhang, ok. thanks23:12
nysosymhi there, how can i define i915.modeset=0 as bootoption?23:29
nysosymi have tried it with "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.modeset=0"" in /etc/default/grub23:30
nysosymbut it doesn't work23:30
nysosymsry for that, i had a crash23:36
yofelhm... it's been a  while since I had to use that, but iirc you create some config file in /etc/modprobe.d/23:39
yofellemme google...23:39
yofelah, found it, create some random config file, I'll use i915-kms.conf so that it makes sense, and put 'options i915 modeset=0' in there23:41
yofelwhen the kernel loads the module KMS should be off23:43
yofelnysosym: ^^^23:43
nysosymthank you yofel, ill try :)23:56
