| collin | Having an issue with fglrx and my new ATI Radeon HD 4670 card. | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| collin | When starting X, I can certainly hear the GDM login sound, but there is no visual output. | 00:21 |
| collin | Pressing Enter and entering my password, then enter again apparently loads GNOME like normal. Still no visual output. | 00:22 |
| collin | After logging into GNOME, I can run fglrxinfo and glxinfo without issue. | 00:22 |
| paultag | collin: psst, I see you | 00:23 |
| collin | paultag: ohai. | 00:23 |
| paultag | don't run! | 00:23 |
| paultag | collin: did you start or do any work on whube comment stuff? | 00:23 |
| collin | paultag: Not yet. | 00:24 |
| paultag | collin: righto, thanks | 00:24 |
| collin | Currently trying to get my graphics card working :P. | 00:24 |
| paultag | collin: OK, now what's your issue | 00:24 |
| paultag | collin: what do you mean load without issue? | 00:24 |
| paultag | collin: like it will be a sole window on a black screen? | 00:24 |
| collin | paultag: As in, they actually output something other than "segmentation fault" or "Cannot open screen" | 00:25 |
| collin | I can't see anything, though. | 00:25 |
| paultag | collin: how are you running them? | 00:25 |
| collin | Both of those commands are terminal-based commands. | 00:25 |
| paultag | well yeah | 00:25 |
| paultag | collin: are you running an export DISPLAY or something? | 00:25 |
| collin | No, I'm not. | 00:26 |
| collin | I tried it, same issue. | 00:26 |
| paultag | collin: so how are you running them? | 00:26 |
| collin | paultag: I can use the keyboard to log in to GNOME through GDM and they run after that, terminal output. | 00:26 |
| paultag | collin: how do you see the terminal, if you can't see GNOME is my question | 00:27 |
| collin | paultag: virtual terminal | 00:27 |
| collin | (F1-F6) | 00:27 |
| paultag | collin: and how do you run the app? I asked if you had to use the export DISPLAY hack to run it | 00:28 |
| paultag | collin: you won't connect to X unless you do that | 00:28 |
| paultag | it should "Error can not open Display" | 00:28 |
| paultag | unless you `export DISPLAY=:0.0` | 00:28 |
| collin | Alright, hang on. | 00:28 |
| collin | fglrxinfo only works after I use the keyboard to log in to GNOME. | 00:30 |
| paultag | collin: still, it should fail unless you export 100% | 00:30 |
| collin | And after using the DISPLAY variable. | 00:30 |
| collin | or, var. | 00:30 |
| collin | whatever. | 00:30 |
| paultag | collin: anyway, no big deal. So, the X session is active, but you can't see it | 00:31 |
| collin | Yeah | 00:31 |
| paultag | collin: did you try a dpkg-reconfigure on xserver-xorg ? | 00:32 |
| collin | Just did - no effect. | 00:33 |
| paultag | collin: what about the ati xserver config tool -- sec, I'll find it | 00:33 |
| paultag | /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial | 00:34 |
| paultag | collin: does that run? | 00:34 |
| collin | Yeah, I did that. | 00:34 |
| paultag | collin: grr/ | 00:34 |
| paultag | collin: manually edit xorg.conf and try using the vesa driver | 00:34 |
| collin | I used VESA before - works fine. | 00:35 |
| paultag | collin: I'd chalk this up to a crap ati driver :( | 00:35 |
| * collin sighs | 00:36 | |
| paultag | collin: the xserver folks broke it around 9.04 or 8.10 ish | 00:36 |
| collin | This should be a fairly common card. | 00:37 |
| paultag | collin: but it's the nonfree driver | 00:37 |
| paultag | collin: and iirc upstream is just jerking it, and not doing much | 00:37 |
| collin | Does the free driver provide the same functionality? | 00:37 |
| paultag | collin: I'm not sure | 00:38 |
| paultag | collin: can't hurt to try | 00:38 |
| collin | "2D modesetting only: <snip> 4xxx" | 00:40 |
| collin | yay. | 00:40 |

| Fanshawe | Hello everyone. Me again. Wondering if there's a solution to the 'Failed to Suspend' error gnome power manager seems to give me everytime I close my laptop lid. | 02:35 |
| Fanshawe | It seems to successfully suspend, but gives the error upon coming back to the desktop. | 02:35 |
| damo-man | X is trying to load an nvidia module, but i have a radeon card- i can't find any mention of nvidia in any of the X config files - anyone have any ideas? I can't use Xorg -configure because it complains about the nvidia module not being able to be loaded | 02:36 |
| damo-man | anyone have any ideas? | 02:38 |
| stlsaint | hrm, | 02:39 |
| stlsaint | Fanshawe: not sure about your issue | 02:39 |
| stlsaint | damo-man: what drivers are you using? | 02:39 |
| damo-man | well, i'm not sure, but lspci gives me radeon ati express 200 | 02:40 |
| damo-man | Radeon Xpress 200 that is | 02:40 |
| damo-man | so i assume it should use the radeon drivers | 02:40 |
| damo-man | "radeon" is listed under "List of video drivers" when Xorg -configure starts up | 02:41 |
| damo-man | xorg-server 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.2 is the one i'm running... | 02:41 |
| damo-man | Current Operating System: Linux jupiter 2.6.32-23-generic | 02:41 |
| stlsaint | damo-man: what is listed in your hardware driver list? | 02:41 |
| damo-man | how do i get my hardware driver list? | 02:42 |
| damo-man | lshw - ok.. hang on... | 02:42 |
| damo-man | display description: VGA compatible controller | 02:43 |
| damo-man | product: RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200] | 02:44 |
| damo-man | configuration: driver=radeon latency=64 mingnt=8 | 02:44 |
| damo-man | so it looks like i'm using radeon as the driver | 02:44 |
| damo-man | (i'm thinking?) | 02:44 |
| stlsaint | damo-man: no look in your System>admin>hardware | 02:51 |
| damo-man | I'm not running X, coz X is broken :) | 02:52 |
| damo-man | where else can I look? | 02:52 |
| stlsaint | aye, nevermind that...yea do you have another system to use? | 02:54 |
| damo-man | another system to use? | 02:54 |
| damo-man | i have a mac (which is what i'm using now) - is that what you mean? | 02:54 |
| damo-man | i don't have another linux system - no.. | 02:55 |

| sayres | kermiac: how can i paste it? | 08:42 |
| sayres | kermic ??? | 08:44 |
| sayres | kermiac? | 08:44 |
| xiaogui | hi, kermiac. :D | 08:44 |
| kermiac | sayres: left click the glipper applet, select (left click) the text & then right click, paste wherever you want to paste it | 08:44 |
| kermiac | sayres: please be patient, sometimes my old fingers dont type as fast as they used to ;) | 08:45 |
| kermiac | xiaogui: i do not use chinese fonts, however my google-fu says you may want to look at this page - http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Optimise_Ubuntu_for_Chinese_desktop | 08:46 |
| kermiac | anyone else here use chinese fonts? | 08:47 |
| ddecator | kermiac: for having "old" slow fingers, you beat me to that one :p | 08:47 |
| hobgoblin | xiaogui: try looking in System - Admin - Language Support | 08:47 |
| kermiac | ddecator: haha | 08:47 |
| ddecator | dang, and hobgoblin beat me to that suggestion.. | 08:47 |
| hobgoblin | kermiac: plenty in here with old fingers | 08:47 |
| ddecator | every time i'm about to hit <enter> you guys chime in, haha | 08:47 |
| sayres | kermiac: i copy tow files....but i cant past none of them?? | 08:47 |
| kermiac | thanks hobgoblin :) | 08:47 |
| hobgoblin | and fat fingers - it's not that I can't spell ... | 08:48 |
| kermiac | hobgoblin: I use that excuse too hehe | 08:48 |
| sayres | it just for the text??? | 08:49 |
| kermiac | yes, sayres it is just for text | 08:49 |
| hobgoblin | it's a clipboard sayres | 08:49 |
| kermiac | sayres: what are you trying to do exactly? | 08:49 |
| hobgoblin | if you want to copy files use the file manager | 08:50 |
| sayres | i want copy tow or more files not text?can i? | 08:50 |
| kermiac | sayres: do you mean two or more? | 08:50 |
| hobgoblin | use the file manager - Ctrl +left mouse | 08:50 |
| kermiac | just double checking that I understand | 08:51 |
| ddecator | Ctrl+left click | 08:51 |
| ddecator | hobgoblin: darn, again.. | 08:51 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 08:51 |
| kermiac | sayres: yeah, what hobgoblin & ddecator said | 08:51 |
| xiaogui | hobgoblin: I can read and write and write chinese in vim. | 08:52 |
| sayres | kermiac:its not my mean...:-$ | 08:52 |
| ddecator | xiaogui: maybe the file got corrupt during compression/uncompression | 08:52 |
| hobgoblin | xiaogui: if you already have chinese language support then I would assume that ^^ | 08:53 |
| xiaogui | you mean there's problem in my unrar software? | 08:54 |
| sayres | kermiac:i want copy one file and next page copy the other copy then tow copis past the onother page ....can i say my mean? | 08:54 |
| sayres | onother = another | 08:55 |
| ddecator | xiaogui: not necessarily. maybe try downloading the file and uncompressing it again. it could be whoever compressed the file corrupted it | 08:55 |
| sayres | hobgoblin & ddecator & kermiac:i want copy one file and next page copy the other copy then tow copis past the another page ....can i say my mean? | 08:56 |
| hobgoblin | sayres: you want to copy files from more than one folder? | 08:56 |
| sayres | hobgoblin: yes | 08:57 |
| xiaogui | ddecator: ok, thanks, i'll try | 08:59 |
| hobgoblin | sayres: I'd use cp in a terminal then | 09:00 |
| sayres | hobgoblin: is this work possible? | 09:00 |
| sayres | hobgoblin:whats mean? | 09:01 |
| hobgoblin | yes - but personally if they are important files and you've not used cp then I would be inclined to just move them one at a time in the file manager | 09:01 |
| sayres | so the work that i wanna do impossible:'( | 09:03 |
| sayres | hobgoblin:so the work that i wanna do impossible:'( | 09:03 |
| hobgoblin | sayres: you can copy more than one file to a new destination with cp | 09:04 |
| sayres | cp by terminal? | 09:05 |
| sayres | hobgoblin: cp by terminal? | 09:05 |
| hobgoblin | yes | 09:05 |
| hobgoblin | no need to repeat :) I'm watching | 09:05 |
| kermiac | sayres: 'cp' is a terminal command, something you type in a terminal window | 09:06 |
| sayres | i know but i want use gui program | 09:06 |
| kermiac | sayres: i don't think it is possible with a gui program | 09:07 |
| sayres | forever thanks | 09:07 |
| kermiac | no problem sayres, i wish we could've helped you more | 09:07 |
| sayres | all of yours | 09:07 |
| hobgoblin | sayres: hang on a moment | 09:07 |
| sayres | ok | 09:09 |
| hobgoblin | sayres: sorry - was looking at a different file manager | 09:12 |
| hobgoblin | sayres: might need to use the terminal | 09:12 |
| sayres | ok tanks | 09:23 |
