=== compiledkernel is now known as Guest25739 [00:58] help with the nvidia driver. ubuntu dosnt see my device [01:00] Guest9696, what is your question? [01:02] seidos: ive installed the latest nvidia driver and when i start up before the login screen it says no device and gives me options to use preconfigured setup and it works, i also cant access the nvidia control panel [01:03] http://pastebin.com/6E3mB96G [01:07] Guest9696, i haven't configured an nvidia card in awhile. but i think you want "nv" under Driver in xorg. [01:07] let me see what google has to say [01:07] Guest9696, have you seen this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [01:08] ive searched the forums for an answer for the past few days and none of the things seemed to work [01:09] Guest9696, where did you learn how to install the driver? [01:10] using jockey and command line both yealded the same results [01:10] Guest9696, yeah, after successfully installing the binary nvidia driver you should have "nv" under the section "Device" in xorg.conf [01:11] its an onboard nvidia g105m in a laptop [01:11] Guest9696, you can try changing it manually in xorg.conf, to see what happens when you boot up. [01:11] if thats any help [01:11] Guest9696, here is a sample xorg.conf that someone posted: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/76471-nvidia-xorg-conf.html [01:11] i will do that and be back on [01:12] Guest9696, all right, just type my nick when you come back to get my attention [01:12] okay [01:20] seidos im back and it still dosnt work [01:21] yeah, i kept reading and apparently it's supposed to be "nvidia" not "nv" [01:22] what exactly isn't working? is it reverting to vesa mode? [01:22] zac_, ^^ [01:22] i dont know really is there more information you need? [01:22] i'm not sure how much help i can be, but i'll keep trying [01:23] well, yeah, because i'm not sure what you should try next. did you read this completely: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ? [01:23] that is probably the next step. [01:23] yes i did [01:23] zac_, oh, what nvidia chipset is it? are you searching on ubuntuforums with information from what shows up in lspci? [01:23] http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04 heres another thing i read [01:24] so you're using 10.04? [01:24] yes [01:24] nvidia g105m [01:25] http://pastebin.com/45DnPduK heres lspci [01:25] zac_, have you seen this yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-990978-p-5.html [01:26] well, maybe this is the problem. lspci say you have two vga compatible controllers [01:26] might want to check sudo lshw to see what modules are being loaded? if there is a module loaded for the intel vga controller you can remove it using sudo rmmod module-name [01:27] zac_, ^^ [01:29] okay ill show you the pastebins [01:29] http://pastebin.com/2qmdnzcj [01:29] seidos [01:29] reading [01:29] ok [01:30] do lsmod | grep nvidia [01:30] zac_, ^^ [01:30] okay [01:30] it says unclaimed for the intel controller. i think that's good. [01:31] nvidia 10832442 0 [01:31] thats what i get [01:32] i don't know. i'm comparing it to my lsmod for intel_agp and there is more info [01:32] oh, try lsmod | grep nv [01:32] did you change xorg.conf back to nvidia? [01:32] you must have, since nvidia is showing up in lshw [01:33] nvidia 10832442 0 [01:33] yes i did [01:33] zac_, all right, let's go back. what is the problem? it looks like the nvidia driver is loaded. maybe it doesn't work with the g105m... [01:34] also every time i start up i have to edit the grub to nomodeset instead of quiet splash for it to even boot to the login screen [01:34] are you unable to enable compiz? or is the resolution low? [01:34] i checked the nvidia website it does [01:34] the resolution is fine...whats compiz? [01:35] compiz is the program for 3d effects [01:35] system -> preferences -> appearance -> desktop effects [01:35] zac_, never heard of the nomodeset issue you are having. [01:37] zac_, what laptop do you have? i don't think you said [01:38] the asus ux50 v [01:38] when i tried compiz it gave me this [01:38] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". [01:38] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". [01:38] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". [01:38] compiz (core) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed [01:38] compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 [01:38] compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :1.0 [01:39] huh [01:39] the only other thing i can think of is that you need a different version of the nvidia module. [01:39] i mean, the module is loaded. why it isn't working is a different story. [01:39] zac_, ^^ [01:39] hello does anyone work with eclipse here? [01:40] zac_, you might want to check on the forums for asus ux50 v [01:40] yeah it says that theres a bug with laptop nvidia graphics cards [01:40] zac_, on launchpad? [01:40] yeah [01:40] maybe itll be fixed with maverick? [01:41] zac_, oh. not sure. [01:41] it also says something about Nouveau being a fix but i have no idea how to configure it [01:41] zac_, what is nouveau? a method for installing the nvidia binary driver? [01:42] or blacklisting vga16fb [01:42] nouveau [01:42] rivafb [01:42] nvidiafb [01:42] rivatv [01:42] nouveau is an open source alternative to the closed source nvidia driver [01:43] and nouveau is different from nv? [01:44] so ive read... [01:44] zac_, and you tried blacklisting vga16fb, nouveau, rivafb, nvidiafb, rivatv? [01:45] you can check to see if any of those modules are loaded using lsmod | grep module-name [01:45] yeah it works but i still cant change my display settings [01:46] zac_, what display settings do you want to change on your laptop? [01:46] seidos [01:49] zac_, well compiz isn't working either. that's obviously a sign something isn't working with the nvidia module [01:50] i have no idea what to do next [01:50] maybe call nvidia or asus [01:50] zac_, seen this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1194965&highlight=nvidia+driver+resolution [01:51] a phone call might help, assuming they support linux O_o [01:51] yeah lets hope [01:52] well, if you just bought the laptop, and you really want to use ubuntu, you might return it an ubuntu certified/ready laptop, or one that is known to work with ubuntu [01:53] zac_, ^^ [01:53] no its been awhile [01:53] oh, ok [01:53] so im stuck till a fix comes out [01:53] or maverick fixes it hopefully [01:54] well, you can try to explore finding a solution yourself. [01:54] i mean, what are the developers going to do? [01:55] zac_, maybe use the open source driver, the closed source binary driver is dependent on nvidia to fix...asumming the problem with with the binary driver. [01:55] yeah but im a linux noob and ive spent days on this and still no fix [01:55] i don't know what the difference is between nv and nouveau. or if the open source driver support desktop effects. [01:55] zac_, there there [01:55] *pat* *pat* [01:55] thanks for your time though [01:56] zac_, i would explore the open source driver at this point. come back and let me know how it goes. [01:56] ill try to fix this till my fingers fall off. i hate windows that much [01:56] okay i will [01:56] i know the feeling, i had trouble with this laptop. power management was a nightmare. [01:57] the driver for the integrated intel graphics is much better now though. [01:57] how long did that take? [01:57] to figure out === bgs100 is now known as N-14 [02:33] is this the right place for ubunut newbie? [02:34] snipe, it is the right place for beginners :) [02:34] i'm a long time windows user, knows nothing about ubuntu yet [02:36] snipe, well, good luck using ubuntu. if you have questions ask in here, and if you want to chat with ubuntu users you might want to check out #ubuntu-offtopic [02:37] only question i have so far ... i tried to install a program through wine that uses netframe work, it starts to run the install and hangs after it says it's installing net . is there something else i need to do first? [02:38] snipe, i don't know. you might want to check out http://appdb.winehq.org to see if they have anything on the app you are trying to run [02:38] the program is curse client , it's an add on programm for WOW [02:38] ok thanks [02:39] Isn't that just a collection of lua scripts? [02:40] i really dont know anything about scripts .. just puts add ons in world of warcraft game [02:41] the game alone plays great in ubuntu but i haven't figured the add ons out yet [02:43] The dotnet framework probably doesn't work well with wine, though I'm not sure. [02:44] ok , there maybe another way to get the add ons in ubuntu but i'll check the wine site first [02:45] maybe i can copy the add on folder from my windows install and put it in the wine install ?

[03:16] or ans sbin/bash? [03:20] TomL: sup [03:21] stlsaint, trying to do some research before I ask stupid questions. [03:22] only stupid questions are the ones not asked... ;) [03:22] LOL.... [03:23] stlsaint, I still have the same two questions. Why would I want to long into a shell other than /bin/bash and where can I find a chart showing the different colors for file types in bash. [03:23] TomL: you can set the colors you want, have you taken a gander at your bashrc [03:24] TomL: bash doesn't color files, but ls does. [03:25] TomL: dircolors -p > dircolors.txt [03:25] That'll show you the defaults. The mapping from numbers to colors you can find at [03:25] stlsaint, Yes, I am aware that I can set the colors that I want. Found many, many websites explaing that process. But nothing telling me what the default colors are. I opened the file that sets those defaults and see the codes, but I will have to manually decifer each file type and color from the color number. [03:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code [03:28] zkriesse you have mail [03:29] Mohan_chml: strange, i was able to start install on centOS but not ubuntu :\ [03:30] stlsaint: check for the corresponding packages to be installed for it. Better google that issue finding needed packages [03:31] yea but even in my main OS install i couldnt run the script [03:32] :o [03:32] Two Zachs here?? [03:34] TomL: dircolors -p | sed 's/.*$[0-9][0-9];[0-9][0-9]$.*/'$'\e''[\1m&'$'\e''[0m/' [03:35] Yes, it's cryptic, but it should help you half way. :) [03:35] geirha, Yes. Cryptic. What should I do with it? [03:35] Oh... It is a BASH command, right? [03:36] You run it in a terminal. It will color the lines by the color code on each line (if any) [03:37] dircolors -p > ~/mydircolors # then edit that file to your liking, and check underways with sed 's/.*$[0-9][0-9];[0-9][0-9]$.*/'$'\e''[\1m&'$'\e''[0m/' ~/mydircolors [03:39] Once you are satisfied, rename it to ~/.dircolors next time you open a terminal, ls should use the new colors. [03:41] geirha, Best I have seen so far, but still a lot of work for me to put it into a nice chart format. Still, thanks for your help. [03:49] It didn't catch the ones with three numbers. This one should: sed 's/^[^ ]* $[0-9;]*$.*/'$'\e''[\1m&'$'\e''[0m/' === tenach_ is now known as tenach [04:36] hey folks anybody know why mysql wouldnt be in /etc/init.d on 10.04 after i install mysql-client? [04:38] stlsaint: I think it cannot be invoked at startup. phillw Question on your side ^ [04:38] phillw: there? [04:38] stlsaint: I didn't think sql was a system process [04:39] heck i dunno [04:39] Mohan_chml: I'm here [04:39] aveilleux: so how do i start it? [04:39] phillw: look at saint's question [04:39] stlsaint: I didn't think it worked that way... It's a database application, it runs on demand [04:40] +1 aveilleux [04:40] give me a minutes, I've just been dragged accross 5 chat areas in the last few minutes, my poor brain is playing catch up !!!! [04:40] aveilleux: no, in the past i have been able to control it with /etc/init.d/mysql(d) start/stop/restart [04:40] phillw: lol okies :P [04:41] stlsaint: you used LAMPP?? [04:42] stlsaint: did you you install LAMP as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP or did you use an outdated set of instructions? [04:47] stlsaint: sorry, my bad.... https://wiki.edubuntu.org/phillw/draft is the most up to date set I have written [05:21] just updated ubuntu - now my wired/wireless network card does not work - i am using a dell inspiron 1521 - system worked fine before update [05:21] can't get any internet connection started [05:23] sabqat9, can you ping the local gateway? [05:23] sabqat9, have you tried ifconfig? [05:26] sorry but i am new to linux - what are you suggesting [05:26] !tab | sabqat9 [05:26] sabqat9: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:27] sabqat9, typing "ifconfig" in a terminal will give you a list of recognized network devices. you can also type sudo lshw to see if there is a module loaded for your network devices. [05:31] i typed ifconfig - split second window appeared - nothing happened - typed sudo lshw - same thing same result [05:32] sabqat9: Where are you typing these? Into Terminal? [05:33] sabqat9, applications -> accessories -> terminal? [05:40] sorry - i did alt f2 first time - now using actual terminal - i have a list of info for ifconfig [05:40] !paste | sabqat9 [05:40] sabqat9: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [05:40] i remember using the sudo lshw command before - network UNCLAIMED [05:41] sabqat9, i'm guessing if it worked before, you probably just need to find out what module needs to load for your network device [05:41] used lshw -C network network UNCLAIMED [05:42] I remember going through this same procedure in this chat before - I don't exactly remember what I did - I do remember that having to reboot several times finally shook something in place for me [05:43] sabqat9, it shows network UNCLAIMED for both wired and wireless? [05:44] sabqat9, if you haven't rebooted to try and fix it, you might try typing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart in terminal [05:46] tried nothing happened [05:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/502452/ [05:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8827649&postcount=7 [05:53] does the explanation in the link make any sense to follow - for my situation? [05:54] sabqat9: I don't see why not [06:04] followed the directions from the link i posted above - worked like a chamr [06:04] chamr [06:04] charm [06:59] http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww145/shahan011/Screenshot-1.png [06:59] I am facing this problem for few days [06:59] while I am going to browsing any website.. this appears [06:59] then I need to get certificate [07:04] shahan: are you using any kind of proxy service? [07:05] duanedesign: no... [07:05] duanedesign: Mine is a WIfi internet, and its DHCP [07:05] hmm. [07:05] duanedesign: I need nothing to configure [07:05] is your system date and time correct? [07:08] shahan: looks like that might be the issue, the screenshot says Jan1 12:28am [07:08] unless you have had this problem for awhile now :) [07:09] duanedesign: I had date/time problem while I took the snap... I took it for about 15 mins ago :) [07:12] Sounds like you need a new BIOS battery [07:13] The battery it uses to keep the clock going when there's not power. [07:15] hello geirha :) [07:15] Hello :) [07:19] duanedesign: tnx.... It was the problem of date/time wrongly configured. Actually my Battery(of motherboard) has may be damaged.

[11:36] JMeK: for help with Wacom Bamboo Driver there is a PPA with the drivers [11:37] JMeK: http://blog.brettalton.com/2010/08/28/install-the-wacom-bamboo-driver-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-using-ppas-tutorialhowto/ [11:37] Silver_Fox_: howdy [11:38] Thanks, I'ĺl have a look! [11:39] JMeK: np, hope it works for you.. Glad you stuck around. Sometimes it takes a little while for someone to show up (wake UP) and see your post :) [11:40] JMeK: i will also provide the same info on the forum post. That way if it works others can benefit from the answer [11:41] Silver_Fox_: i was just reading k.mandala's blog. I like.

[11:53] hello mR0_ [11:54] hlo daunedesign [11:55] Hello, if Anyone of you uses RKward the interface for R software, can he/she tell me why I don't have an icon for it on my desktop? [11:55] Thanks duanedesign. The only trouble is: we tried these three lines of code (the PPA) that seems to work for everyone. But in UbuntuStudio it just doesn't seem to work. I'm just not sure if it's me and my beginners-mistakes, or some kind of bug in UbuntuStudio [11:57] mR0_: does the driver installed automagically not work correctly? [12:00] mR0_: if you download the .run file from NVIDIA site. Make it executable. Reboot. Press ESC to get to grub menu, boot into recovery mode. Choose 'Drop to Shell' cd /home//Desktop, or wherever the .run is. Then command sudo ./.run [12:00] yes it did noy detect my nvidia. Then I tried to download from website. But it can't be installed. I have to remove/disable "nouveau" first [12:00] ok [12:00] mR0_: yeah the nouveau will conflict [12:01] What I can do? [12:02] mR0_: you can remove the open source nouveau driver with the command: sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [12:03] duanedesign: then install the driver? [12:05] mR0_: yes. You can also blacklist the driver [12:05] gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add- blacklist nouveau [12:07] mR0_: http://paste.rtg.in.ua/6cd9f43e552fbfa096118ec263d50a91/ [12:07] WeW, thanks duanedesign.

I'll back 4 u later [12:08] this might help^^ Step 7 [12:08] will of course be a different name depending on the driver === mistrynitesh is now known as geekosopher [13:51] Mohan_chml: congrats!
