| kkathman | Does anyone know if they've patched the bug where kubuntu doesn't save its display resolution settings? | 01:35 |
| MaxDamage | Any way to get .NET 3.5 on Wine? | 01:40 |
| e_t_ | kkathman: That is a consequence of moving away from the use of xorg.conf. If you create such a file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) with the approiate settings, Kubuntu will respect it. | 01:45 |
| kkathman | e_t_: ahh do you have a guide on how to mod it? I need to have the system just come up in 1920 x 1080 | 01:47 |
| e_t_ | kkathman: Alas, no. One of the reasons for moving away from xorg.conf was it's complexity. Are you working with an LCD or CRT screen? The optimum resolution for most LCD screens is automatically detected. | 01:48 |
| kkathman | e_t_: LCD screen..high reso | 02:00 |
| kkathman | it seems to have put "auto" out there but at a much lower resolution that isn't proportionate | 02:00 |

| Firefishe | I'm using kubuntu 10.04, kde 4.4.5. I have two user accounts, the normal user that was created during the install, and another I created for my wife. Both accounts are set up as admins. The problem: When using dolphin to transfer files from one desktop to another (something we do frequently), I find that I can only transfer from her desktop to mine, but not vice versa. | 02:30 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: permissions problems | 02:32 |

| EagleScreen | Firefishe: do you know pastebin? | 02:34 |
| EagleScreen | pastebin the output of "ls -la" in your home, and later in your wife's home | 02:34 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: I can do that | 02:35 |
| EagleScreen | I only am interested in to see the permissions | 02:35 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Is there a specific directory I'm looking for? | 02:36 |
| Firefishe | I don't really want to pastebin my entire home listing. | 02:36 |
| EagleScreen | Desktop directory | 02:37 |
| EagleScreen | just that line | 02:37 |
| Firefishe | k, let me look | 02:37 |
| EagleScreen | mine is drwxr-xr-x 2 rafael rafael 4096 2010-09-07 02:30 Desktop | 02:37 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Okay, I see what you're getting at. Let me list them. One sec. | 02:39 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: | 02:44 |
| EagleScreen | what? | 02:44 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: The permissions appear to be the same for both user's $HOME/Desktop directories, as well as each user's home directory | 02:44 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: There are slightly differing numbers *after* the permissions listings | 02:45 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: For example, my home directory has a listing of 50, and my wife's has a listing of 104 | 02:45 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: oops...reverse that | 02:45 |
| EagleScreen | are they drwxr-xr-x ? | 02:46 |
| Firefishe | yes | 02:46 |
| EagleScreen | both? | 02:46 |
| Firefishe | yes | 02:46 |
| EagleScreen | d means it is a directory | 02:46 |
| EagleScreen | the first rwx means read, write and enter permisions for owner | 02:46 |
| EagleScreen | the next r-x means read and enter permissions for group members | 02:47 |
| EagleScreen | and the next r-x meand read an enter permissions for the rest of people | 02:47 |
| EagleScreen | did you know? | 02:47 |
| olskolirc | how can i get my screen to stop being brighter when other windows come forth - i lose my rich colors how do I turn this feature off please? | 02:48 |
| olskolirc | im on Karmic | 02:48 |
| EagleScreen | you if you are logged in your account, you can copy files from your wife's Desktop to your | 02:48 |
| EagleScreen | but you cannot copy files to her Desktop | 02:48 |
| EagleScreen | as you havent write permissions | 02:48 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: not using dolphin | 02:48 |
| Firefishe | she can copy from hers to mine, though | 02:49 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: the way to copy wouldn't be relevant | 02:49 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: k | 02:49 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: So, do you know how I may remedy this? | 02:49 |
| EagleScreen | yes | 02:49 |
| EagleScreen | you can always copy them with sudo, or you can set permiisons and grpous up | 02:50 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Let me bring up my user manager | 02:50 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: if your username were "pepe" | 02:50 |
| EagleScreen | is your Desktop folder like this? d rwx r-x r-x pepe pepe | 02:51 |
| EagleScreen | olskolirc: i dont understand your problem | 02:52 |
| Firefishe | drwxr-xr-x 8 mydesktop mydesktop 4096 2010-09-03 03:37 Desktop [Firefishe's Desktop Folder Permissions] | 02:53 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: That's mine | 02:53 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: then she cannot write files in your Desktop unless she uses sudo mode | 02:53 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: let me qualify that...one sec | 02:53 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Okay, that was wrong. I evidently *can* copy from Desktop to Desktop. What I was doing was trying to copy from another /home/myname/directoryname to /home/wifesusername/Desktop and it's not working. | 02:58 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: where 'myname' is my home directory, and the other is my wifes. | 02:58 |
| Firefishe | Don't all directories under the same user share identical permissions? | 02:58 |
| EagleScreen | not all | 02:59 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: you can copy from other to you, bot not from you to other | 03:00 |
| Firefishe | okay... | 03:00 |
| Firefishe | yes | 03:00 |
| Firefishe | from me to her is what i need. I use that directory for all my downloads | 03:00 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: if you want to can share files, lets configure permissions | 03:00 |
| Firefishe | k...my user account settings in kde is up | 03:00 |
| EagleScreen | let em think how to congif this.. | 03:01 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Which leads me to another anomaly. My wife's user account has my name listed as a group, but my user doesn't have hers. | 03:01 |
| Firefishe | which would explain why she can write to me | 03:01 |
| Firefishe | but not me to her | 03:01 |
| EagleScreen | she can't write to you if your folder is d rwx r-x r-x yourname yourname | 03:02 |
| Firefishe | but she can if she's in my group | 03:03 |
| Firefishe | I just found out that she had no primary group, so I created one | 03:03 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Let me try it now | 03:04 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Still not working, but I may need to log in and out | 03:04 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Let me try the obvious, and I'll be back in a sec, k? | 03:05 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: I appreciate your help. | 03:05 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: I'm showing a group listing with no indication of what it is. Any kind of 'invisible' groups of which you're aware? | 03:06 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Or some group that masks itself? | 03:06 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: you could create a group, call it "family" or what you want | 03:07 |
| EagleScreen | then users in that group would can copy files | 03:07 |
| EagleScreen | do you like that config? | 03:07 |
| Firefishe | you mean do I like the kde user configuration? | 03:08 |
| EagleScreen | not, the solution I proposed | 03:08 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Well, I'm wanting to comprehend why I--when I am logged in to my normal user account--can copy and paste a file from my wife's user Desktop/ to my download directory, but not the other way around. I should have full admin copy/paste, and it's puzzling. | 03:09 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: I mean, I can obviously access her directory structure from my normal user without using sudo privileges. | 03:10 |
| === dave_ is now known as SirHuck | ||
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: But to not be able to do a simple copy/paste is weird. | 03:10 |
| Firefishe | or a drag/drop | 03:10 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: I will try to explain you | 03:12 |
| EagleScreen | becaus the folder of your wife is set to can be read by anyone | 03:12 |
| EagleScreen | but it is not set to can be written by anyone | 03:12 |
| EagleScreen | do you want it writable by anyone? | 03:12 |
| EagleScreen | oy just by users selected by you? | 03:13 |
| EagleScreen | the first solution is easier | 03:13 |
| Firefishe | just me. This is a laptop, so we both use it | 03:13 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: I'm just going to listen now. What would you suggest? | 03:13 |
| olskolirc | when I open up a program, my desktop get brighter - im reading its somewhere in the HAL or PowerSave Options to turn it off but I can't find it | 03:14 |
| olskolirc | EagleScreen, | 03:14 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: you have two options | 03:14 |
| EagleScreen | 1) just make your wife's and your files and folders writeable by anyone, which is easier and faster | 03:15 |
| olskolirc | change your home permissions Firefishe | 03:15 |
| olskolirc | sudo chmod go+rwx /home/wife | 03:16 |
| EagleScreen | 2) make a new group, and set your foles and folders and your wife's one to be writable only for people inside that group | 03:16 |
| EagleScreen | olskolirc: by that method Linux thinks all files are executable programs | 03:16 |
| olskolirc | why do all that EagleScreen when he already is the admin he just needs to unlock /home/wife | 03:16 |
| olskolirc | ok leave the x out of it | 03:17 |
| olskolirc | sudo chmod go+rw /home/wife | 03:17 |
| EagleScreen | olskolirc: x is necessary to can enter on folders | 03:17 |
| olskolirc | if you need to | 03:17 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: do you want it by the quick way or by the correct way? you probaly wont see the difference | 03:18 |
| olskolirc | Firefishe, you can also add yourself to your wife's group - type: groups wife | 03:18 |
| olskolirc | and see her groups | 03:18 |
| olskolirc | add yourself to her group ID | 03:18 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: The correct way, please | 03:19 |
| olskolirc | sudo addgroup (i think) you wifegroup | 03:19 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: the correct way will take me a few minutes | 03:19 |
| olskolirc | adduser | 03:19 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: That's okay. I need the education, and I'm patient :) | 03:19 |
| Firefishe | olskolirc: I'm already a member of her group, but unless I need to reboot the entire system to initialize the new settings, it's still not working. | 03:20 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: becaus it is not enought | 03:20 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Okay then. I'm all ears and fins ;) hee | 03:20 |
| olskolirc | you can also change owner on the file Firefishe | 03:21 |
| Firefishe | olskolirc: Because we xfer files all the time, it's wise to set it up so we can just go back and forth. | 03:21 |
| EagleScreen | Firefishe: let me prepare your configuration as I also want to give this well configured in my laptop, and I will share the config with you by pastebin, i will take a few minutes | 03:21 |
| olskolirc | thats what im showing you Firefishe | 03:22 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen: Cool. | 03:22 |
| Firefishe | EagleScreen, olskolirc: I'm listening to both of you. I'm writing it all down, and won't make any changes until I have all the data with which I feel comfortable. Please chime in at any time | 03:23 |
| Firefishe | olskolirc: So what are you suggesting specifically? Please say again. | 03:23 |
| Firefishe | also, thanks again for the great help here :) | 03:23 |

| Firefishe | EagleScreen: I guess I'd like to set up a shared folder for both desktops, one that we could just drop things into, and the other could copy/paste from. Whatever the best security would be, as well. I figure I might as well learn about that, too. | 03:40 |

| EagleScreen | wow nvidia issues | 04:07 |
| EagleScreen | when screen brightness change, can you restablish it? | 04:08 |
| olskolirc | i don't know what you mean EagleScreen it will turn back to normal when I close the program | 04:10 |
| EagleScreen | olskolirc: it happens for instance, with dolphin? | 04:10 |
| olskolirc | all of my programs EagleScreen | 04:10 |
| EagleScreen | and when you close all of them and only see the desktop, the brigthness back to normal? | 04:11 |
| olskolirc | yes EagleScreen | 04:12 |

| EagleScreen | it is on repository | 04:13 |
| olskolirc | ill check that out | 04:13 |
| EagleScreen | xbacklight changes the screen brighness | 04:13 |
| EagleScreen | olskolirc: that kind of issues normally are fixed by newer drivers in newer distribution releases | 04:14 |
| EagleScreen | olskolirc: take a look to Kuubntu 10.10 beta if you want and check if it still happens, but first read the known problems of the 10.10beta installer | 04:15 |

| olskolirc | omg im about to lose my X aren't I e_t_ ? lol | 04:20 |
| e_t_ | I may be wrong. You probably shouldn't have X at all if there's a driver mis-match. | 04:21 |
| olskolirc | yeah when I lose X I can't even get it back with dpkg-reconfigure | 04:22 |
| e_t_ | If X is unstable, you might try the older nvidia driver, just to see if it's better. | 04:23 |
| olskolirc | im on Karmic | 04:24 |
| olskolirc | I think my system is about outdated for these plasma systems | 04:24 |
| e_t_ | The other thing to try when X dies is to remove the hidden lock files. | 04:25 |

| James147 | andybiker: what do you mean by all users? | 10:38 |
| andybiker | I have 5 users on a guest pc and the menu only shows the last person to log in | 10:39 |
| andybiker | As this is going to only be an occasional pc, I need a fuller listing | 10:40 |
| andybiker | btw, I have got the hang of webcontentcontrol | 10:40 |
| andybiker | :) | 10:40 |
| James147 | andybiker: the default theme dosnt have a list ^^ your going to need to find one that does | 10:43 |
| andybiker | Okay.. | 10:44 |
| andybiker | It's strange how some distros do a full list and some don't | 10:45 |
| James147 | andybiker: its all to do with what theme they pick ^^ | 10:46 |
| andybiker | Thanks James147. I'm going to upgrade to 10.04.1 LTS (whatever that stands for!) and see what theme that gives me. It'll give me a chance to rest a bit after checking parental controls! | 10:49 |
| James147 | andybiker: what version are you on now? | 10:50 |
| andybiker | about 9.10 or something | 10:50 |
| James147 | andybiker: :) 10.04 also dosnt have the list... but tis worth an upgrade anyway | 10:51 |
| andybiker | Thanks :) | 10:51 |
| andybiker | Upgrading now! | 10:51 |
| James147 | andybiker: but its easy to change the theme so shouldnt be a problem :) | 10:52 |

| Daskreech | analex: There is a network icon in the tray click on it iand it shows the wireless in the area click on the one you want | 22:14 |
| Daskreech | claydoh: is KDE 4.5.1 locked for 64 bit systems? | 22:14 |
| analex | that's the thing, It's not showing the network tthat is in range.. Ii have my wireless router right beside me, and it's not showing.... | 22:15 |
| claydoh | Daskreech: locked? dunno, do you mean not available? | 22:15 |
| * Daskreech points at Freddy2 | 22:16 | |
| Daskreech | apparently for some people it is claydoh | 22:16 |
| Walzmyn | analex: you click the "other networks" option? | 22:16 |
| Daskreech | analex: It has enable wireless checked? | 22:16 |
| analex | I see disable wireless highlited.. | 22:17 |
| claydoh | Freddy2: Daskreech I am not aware of it, tho for some people dolphin can lock for a time due to a dbus issue, but it is not universal and not specific to 64 bit | 22:17 |
| Freddy2 | hmm if i click on "mark all updates" (synaptic) no kde updates are marked, and if i select them manually synaptic tries to remove the current stuff before installing the new one.. i think it means updates are locked, but might be another problem here | 22:18 |
| claydoh | Freddy2: can you try with apt-get dist-upgrade to see any possible errors? | 22:19 |
| Freddy2 | sure | 22:19 |
| === john-charles is now known as gkffcsk | ||
| Freddy2 | uff, 10 removes, 25 or so new packets, and a lot of updates | 22:21 |
| Freddy2 | this is what apt-get is telling me | 22:21 |
| Freddy2 | this is the output http://pastebin.com/mYvtYTSY | 22:23 |
| claydoh | Freddy2: sounds about right, there are a number of packages to be removed as their contents are now in other packages | 22:24 |
| Daskreech | analex: Enable it? | 22:24 |
| Freddy2 | well, let's see if it crashes XD | 22:25 |
| analex | since the enable is hot hilighted, wouldn't that mean that it is enabled??// | 22:26 |
| claydoh | Freddy2: it shouldn't :) | 22:26 |
| Freddy2 | errors when processing libqt4-help | 22:39 |
| Freddy2 | we'll see what happens after reboot (i've forced the install) | 22:39 |
| Freddy2 | thx for the help | 22:39 |
| BigC | I need some help with flash and sound. When ever i visit a website that has flash on it, the sound does not work. The video works fine, but there is no audio. Even after reinstalling flash, it does not work. | 22:47 |
| mblackm1 | how can i restart x w/o restarting machine? | 22:49 |
| mblackm1 | ? | 22:49 |
| claydoh | mblackm1: restart kdm, ie logout, and in one of the buttons at the bottom of the login screen, you can select to restart xserver | 22:51 |
| claydoh | mblackm1: or you can from an alt-f1 teminal restart kdm: | 22:51 |
| claydoh | sudo service kdm restart | 22:52 |
| illunatic | did adept get dropped or something? | 23:01 |
| illunatic | i just did a clean install and it disappeared | 23:01 |
| claydoh | illunatic: adept is still availabe in the repos but has not been the default package manager for a number of releases | 23:02 |
| mblackm1 | ok i asked wrong question | 23:03 |
| illunatic | is packagekit default? | 23:03 |
| mblackm1 | how can i disable the nvidia driver from alternate terminal? | 23:03 |
| illunatic | i liked being able to search for packages through the gui like that | 23:03 |
| mblackm1 | x hasnt worked since i installed proprietary driver | 23:04 |
| mblackm1 | how can i disable the nvidia driver from alternate terminal? | 23:07 |
| mblackm1 | x hasnt worked since i installed proprietary driver | 23:07 |
| claydoh | illunatic: yes, unfortunately | 23:07 |
| mblackm1 | nvidia driver | 23:07 |
| claydoh | illunatic: try this new one being created by a Kubuntu developer: | 23:09 |
| claydoh | http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2010/08/27/muon-and-qapt-1-0-1/ | 23:09 |
| illunatic | thanks | 23:09 |
| illunatic | http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 23:09 |
| illunatic | what do i open the APT file with? | 23:10 |
| claydoh | illunatic: or try the old-standby synapptiv | 23:10 |
| claydoh | synsptic | 23:10 |
| claydoh | errr synaptic as another package manager | 23:10 |
| illunatic | i just want to install flash player in firefox. it wasn't a problem before | 23:11 |
| claydoh | illunatic: you should just double-click a deb file and it will install | 23:11 |
| claydoh | illunatic: install package flashplugin-installer iirc | 23:11 |
| illunatic | but i can't double click because i can't just download it. i have to open and specify what to open it with because adobe is ghey | 23:11 |
| claydoh | mblackm1: srry looking for a link on removing nvidia | 23:11 |
| analex | is there a way to get kubuntu to upgrade to a later version?? | 23:12 |
| illunatic | oic i have to use the older one | 23:13 |
| claydoh | mblackm1: one link:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 23:14 |
| illunatic | so amarok has alaso been removed | 23:15 |
| illunatic | ? | 23:15 |
| BajK | is it just me or is KDE 4.5.1's dolphin highly unstable? | 23:15 |
| illunatic | my system went from working great to barely working | 23:15 |
| * illunatic complains | 23:15 | |
| MaxDamage | Is a reboot necessary when installing new drivers or just a restart of the X environment? | 23:16 |
| claydoh | BajK: in Lucid there is, involving a dbus problem | 23:17 |
| claydoh | illunatic: amarok was never removed, still default | 23:17 |
| illunatic | hm wonder why it and adept jsut disappear during the upgrade to 10.04? | 23:17 |
| illunatic | it's never done that before | 23:18 |
| analex | illunatic, how do you upgrade to 10,04? you have to install it from the cd?? | 23:18 |
| illunatic | yeah i have a 8.10 DVD and have to upgrade from there | 23:18 |
| claydoh | illunatic: analex: upgrading from before 9.10 iirc is not supported | 23:19 |
| illunatic | o? | 23:19 |
| BajK | claydoh: especially when dealing with a large amount of images and enabled preview it tends to freeze quite often, especially if i have split view and drag images areound | 23:19 |
| illunatic | wth did i but this dvd for >_< | 23:20 |
| illunatic | buy* | 23:20 |
| illunatic | heh | 23:20 |
| BajK | or sometimes I open an image and then dolphin just closes and that crash dialog appears | 23:20 |
| analex | how do I know what version I have?? | 23:20 |
| claydoh | BajK: crashes I dunno, temp lockups are known to happen | 23:22 |
| BajK | claydoh: well since I upgraded to 4.5.1 it frequently just freezes (when dragging images in split view and having preview enabled and lots of images in that folder displayed) or when I open a wndow it just closes with that KDE crash dialog | 23:24 |
| claydoh | analex: you can check KDE version in any KDE help button, or run uname -r to check kernel version | 23:24 |
| illunatic | BajK: it totally destroyed my system. hence the re-install | 23:24 |
| claydoh | BajK: that is proba the dbus issue | 23:24 |
| illunatic | which isn't working out so far. | 23:25 |
| BajK | claydoh: weird. and another question. Today i started my PC and then I had TWO klipper icons in my systemtray | 23:25 |
| BajK | the old one with that clipboard symbol and the new black and white scissors | 23:25 |
| BajK | i closed klipper and restarted it and then I just got the scissors | 23:25 |
| CyberShadow | Hello. This is how gitk looks like by default in a fresh Kubuntu 10.04 VM. Does anyone know how to fix it? http://dump.thecybershadow.net/5994b35e40b7db362b13eb9b08ee47fa/0000064D.png | 23:27 |
| CyberShadow | git gui has similar problems, so I guess it's a problem for all Tcl/Tk apps | 23:28 |
| claydoh | BajK: that black one is an extra "paste" plasmoid, not klipper - you can remove that by right-click on the tray, systray settings - extra items -de-select 'paste' | 23:28 |
| BajK | claydoh: it was clipper. | 23:28 |
| BajK | It opened the same context menu as the scissors | 23:28 |
| BajK | I thought that at first | 23:28 |
| BajK | but it was klipper ;) | 23:28 |
| BajK | wow I am impressed! They fixed that annoying systray bug where the system tray popup closes because of buggy tray entries | 23:29 |
| BajK | How can I prevent kbluetooth of running everytime I start my pc? | 23:29 |
| MaxDamage | !nvidia | 23:29 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:29 |
| BajK | every application offers me when closing to not start again but kbluetooth does not | 23:29 |
| claydoh | BajK: uninstall all the bluetooth bits is safe and easy | 23:30 |
| BajK | claydoh: is there a less "drastic" way? | 23:30 |
| claydoh | I think so, but it isn't drastic if you don't have or need bt | 23:31 |
| BajK | ok just removed kbluetooth | 23:31 |
| BajK | but it should still be disableable | 23:31 |
| claydoh | gimme a sec, I know where to find out how | 23:31 |
| analex | :Daskreech | 23:31 |
| MaxDamage | Okay, how do I bring back the xorg.conf defaults? I just installed nVidia's proprietary driver, but my grahpics did not work at all. (Black screen, no response) | 23:32 |
| claydoh | BajK: agreeed, but it isnt :( | 23:32 |
| MaxDamage | Currently my graphics are in safe mode (deleted xorg.conf) | 23:32 |
| BajK | claydoh: okay just removed "kbluetooth". Can't KDE - how modern it is -just detect whether I actually do have bluetooth hardware? I think there are 90% of people running kbluetooth without even having bluetooth hardware or knowing that it is runnign | 23:33 |
| claydoh | I bet it is more than you think , worldwide - just have to find someone who wants to code something to do this | 23:34 |
| === hudson_ is now known as FodoX | ||
| claydoh | MaxDamage: the liks you brought up should tell you all you need, iirc I think you need to 'run sudo nvidia-xconfig' to regenerate the xorg.conf | 23:35 |
| illunatic | kbluetooth was removed during upgrades for me | 23:35 |
| * claydoh eats pizza now | 23:35 | |
| illunatic | heh | 23:35 |
| claydoh | illunatic: you must be upgrading fom unsupported version I bet | 23:36 |
| MaxDamage | claydoh: Running nvidia-xconfig caused my graphics not to work :) | 23:36 |
| * claydoh really eats pizza now | 23:36 | |
| MaxDamage | How do I install the nv driver? | 23:36 |
| MaxDamage | Usually works really well with my card | 23:37 |
| illunatic | yeah as you mentioned earlier, upgrading from 8.10 is no longer supported yeah? | 23:37 |
| illunatic | wonder what method i should use to upgrade? | 23:37 |
| illunatic | just create an install disk? | 23:37 |
| illunatic | guess i'll give that a shot and see the result | 23:37 |
| MaxDamage | Reverting to "mesa" driver. Back in 2 minutes. (Hopefully) | 23:39 |
| MaxDamage | I failed. :( | 23:40 |
| === pixel__ is now known as JarhK | ||
| * BajK is really looking forward to Kubuntu 10.10's multitouch abilities. I hope they work well in KDE and not just ubuntu | 23:43 | |
| MaxDamage | !nv | 23:49 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:49 |
| MaxDamage | Plain and simple, how do I install the Free driver "nv" instead of using Mesa? | 23:50 |
| BajK | man, why do queue entries disappear if I filter songs in playlist? | 23:53 |
| BajK | if I enter "clowns" and then mark that song to play next, then I enter "metal" for a metallica song, the mark on clowns is gone | 23:53 |
