[11:19] <simar> tjaalton, ya I both the nv neva listed in Load Module
[11:20] <simar> see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9990275#post9990275
[11:21] <simar> tjaalton, If you can me i'm trying to get you as close to problem as possible here's another link
[11:21] <simar> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2156321&postcount=47
[11:30] <simar> does anyone know which driver maverick uses by default?
[11:30] <tjaalton> it tries several as you can see
[11:30] <tjaalton> none of them work on the vaios
[11:31] <tjaalton> well, it tries nv and vesa
[11:54] <simar> tjaalton, but still i have a working display in karmic with this log file .. but it goes off if i upgrade to lucid
[11:57] <tjaalton> erm, no. the xserver fails and there's no way that logfile is from a working setup
[12:31] <simar> tjaalton, but it is indeed..
[12:36] <tjaalton> no it isn't
[13:28] <simar> hey my live installation in a pendrive is not booting up.. Is there a way that I can enter a recovery mode like we have when we install ubuntu in hard disk.??
[13:28] <simar> tjaalton, could you help in this matter?
[13:30] <tjaalton> simar: sorry, can't. try asking on #ubuntu-installer
[13:31] <simar> tjaalton, ok thanks

[13:52] <vish> i'v nearly narrowed down the kernel, I'm still yet to test the kernel 32-19.28 , and -18.27 /again/ to fully confirm it again...
[21:24] <ilmari> after I upgraded to maverick, the stripy background on http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ is causing terrible flicker on my laptop LCD
