[04:00] <realburb> hi it looks like the 195 nvidia driver causes sound problems on my 8200 igp, will the 260 driver help with this issue?
[11:08] <realburb> hi, audio doesnt work with either 195 or 260 on my  8200 based mainboard, what else can I try?
[18:44] <ayan> all: i'm having trouble with ubuntu 10.10, X, an NVIDIA 9500GT, and the nvidia driver (nvidia_drv.so).
[18:45] <ayan> http://pastebin.com/C3s2KnmY
[18:45] <ayan> ^- X.org log.
[18:48] <virtuald> ayan: it tells you to check the kernel log
[18:49] <virtuald> i.e. dmesg
[18:51] <ayan> virtuald, ya -- doesn't reveal anything.
[18:51] <ayan> atleast nothing obvious to me.
[18:52] <tjaalton> so you don't have the kernel module available
[18:53] <bjsnider> it doesn't sayt eh module doesn't exist, so it's there
[18:57] <tjaalton> bjsnider: are you sure it would mention that? grepping the strings from the module doesn't give any apparent matches for that situation
[18:58] <ayan> would lsmod show it?
[18:58] <tjaalton> if it got loaded
[18:59] <bjsnider> if he was trying to load a nonexistent module it would say "module doesn't exist" and then try to load something else, such as nouveau
[18:59] <bjsnider> ayan, what happens after the nvidia driver fails? does it continue to the desktop?
[18:59] <tjaalton> no, that would happen if the x driver wasn't there
[19:00] <ayan> bjsnider, no -- it does not continue to the desktop.
[19:00] <tjaalton> though the fallbacks don't work with nvidia/fglrx aiui
[19:00] <bjsnider> ayan, when did this start happening?
[19:01] <ayan> a bit before uds.
[19:01] <ayan> i didn't have time to look into it.
[19:02] <ayan> maybe a week before uds.
[19:02] <Sarvatt> ayan: something broken? got the machine up at plumbers?
[19:02] <bjsnider> get to a command prompt and type dkms status
[19:02] <ayan> Sarvatt: i will not be at plumbers.
[19:03] <ayan> Sarvatt: it is my desktop.
[19:27]  * bryceh waves
[19:30] <Sarvatt> heyo bryceh!
[19:30] <Sarvatt> thanks for the assorted medicines, they were a big help :)
[19:30] <bryceh> Sarvatt, sure thing
[19:31] <bryceh> I'm just fairly stunned I didn't need them myself this trip
[19:31] <Sarvatt> especially when your roommate was sick from the start!
[19:31] <bryceh> and my wife leading up to it...
[19:33] <bryceh> how are you feeling now?  getting recovered?
[19:34] <bryceh> Sarvatt, well either your germ sanitation work paid off, or you were just getting caught up on UDS germs ;-)
[19:34] <Sarvatt> just a nasty cough left, feel fine. I'm not regretting packing just for boston now with how cold it is up here :) the hotel is crap compared to orlando, funny because it costs about 3x more
[19:35] <bryceh> yeah that orlando hotel was swank...  don't get your expectations set by that, most places we've gone have not been nearly that nice
[22:06] <knittl> why does jockey-text not display any drivers but jockey-gtk does? (although jockey-gtk fails to install it)
[22:12] <knittl> 2010-10-31 23:11:14,075 ERROR: XorgDriverHandler.enable(): package or module not installed, aborting
[22:27] <Sarvatt> knittl: did you install from the ati website at some point and not uninstall?
[22:27] <knittl> it's an nvidia-card, i don't think so
[22:29] <Sarvatt> knittl: no headers for your current kernel maybe?
[22:29] <bjsnider> knittl, is nvidia-common installed?
[22:29] <Sarvatt> ahh sorry, nevermind :) it should say somewhere else in that jockey log though, the aborting message happens so much
[22:30] <knittl> bjsnider: yes
[22:30] <knittl> Sarvatt: dunno. $ uname -a
[22:30] <knittl> Linux kbook 2.6.35-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 26 17:03:18 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[22:30] <bjsnider> knittl, what nvidia chip?
[22:31] <knittl> $ lspci|grep nVidia
[22:31] <knittl> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86M [Quadro FX 360M] (rev a1)
[22:31] <bjsnider> what happens if you try installing nvidia-current?
[22:31] <knittl> that works
[22:32] <bjsnider> so it's only a jockey issue
[22:32] <knittl> seems so
[22:33] <bjsnider> what about nvidia-current-modaiases?
[22:33] <bjsnider> is it installed?
[22:34] <knittl> $ apt-cache policy nvidia-current-modaliases 
[22:34] <knittl> nvidia-current-modaliases: Installed: 260.19.06-0ubuntu1
[22:36] <bjsnider> unless the log is more specific about what is missing i don't see how it can be easily troubleshot
[22:37] <knittl> hm. it looks like the driver gets installed, but then it fails somehow and bails out
[22:37] <knittl> but i need to go to bed
[22:37] <bjsnider> that error message is slightly more helpful than a typical microsoft one, such as "error 09842098365", but unless it's identifying the specific missing package...
