Saintly-i386in xorg.conf, my mouse is ste up but refuses to work... i think its either the device option file settings or the driver, but i dont know whether changing the driver will help becaouse i dont know the driver.00:28
Saintly-i386should i change the device option from /dev/input/mice to /dev/input/mouse0 ?00:29

dr4c4nSaintly-i386: as per most linux configs.. backup ur orig, test the change :)00:54
Saintly-i386lol of course :D00:54
dr4c4nI would try it out, and see if it works, otherwise if it was from default config, if you look up your model, and see if other's have had the same issue00:54
dr4c4nand check to see if it does the same thing if u plug in external mouse00:55
Saintly-i386does the confige actually differ from "mouse" for a device? ive never seen it other wise... oh and though i say "mouse" i really mena touch pad :D00:55
Saintly-i386will do00:55
Saintly-i386knew it was a good idea to get this targus mouse :D00:55

Arpad2hello08:29
sharehello08:33
Arpad2from live cd how can be the HDD mounted<08:40
Arpad2?08:40
knomeArpad2, it should be mounted automatically to /media08:40
Arpad2ok08:41
Arpad2I tried nvisdia driver , after removed it08:41
Arpad2and now xubuntu doesnt appears08:41
Arpad2knome> thx08:42
knomenp08:42
Arpad2knome: that folder is emptz08:43
knome!mount08:43
ubottumount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount08:43
Arpad2can I modify xorg.conf from live cd?09:19
knomeyes09:21
Arpad2>(09:22
Arpad2:)09:22
Arpad2ok09:22
Arpad2knome: how? :)09:22
Arpad2sudo nano xorg.conf didnt work09:22
knomefirst you have to get the disc mounted where your xorg.conf lies09:23
knomelet's say it's mounted to /media/system09:23
knomethen you'd edit xorg.conf by /media/system/etc/X11/xorg.conf09:24
knomes/by/from09:24
Arpad2what is tha lat line<09:25
Arpad2?09:25
knomeArpad2, have you mounted the disc where your xorg.conf is?09:26
Arpad2not zet. ok I ll do it09:26
xubinewcomer from windows;where do I find xorg in 10.409:33
knomexubi, by xorg, what do you mean?09:37
Arpad2knome: I think mz disk is not mounted to /media/szstem09:41
Arpad2knome: I think it is in /cdrom09:41
knomeArpad2, that was just an example. if you mount the disk, you define the mount point yourself09:41
knomeArpad2, err, that's the cd, not the hard drive09:42
knomeArpad2, you can't edit the xorg.conf of the cd09:42
Arpad2ok09:43
knomeArpad2, is that what you wanted?09:43
Arpad2no09:44
Arpad2I want to change the xorg.conf on my harddrive09:44
knomeArpad2, okay. your HDD mount command should be something LIKE (note: not necessarily exactly): "mount /dev/sda1 /media/system"09:44
xubiwell I actually dont know, I understand is a file09:44
knomexubi, right - newer xubuntu installations do not have that by default, but the correct path is /etc/X11/zorg.xonf09:45
knomeerm, xorg.conf apparently..09:45
Arpad2i mounted the partition to /mnt09:45
knomeArpad2, then your xorg.conf should be at /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf09:45
xubiI found a solution for a display problem I have , and refers to xorg editing09:46
Arpad2yes09:46
Arpad2there it is09:46
knomexubi, yeah. you can create the file :)09:46
xubiI suppose I should better tell you my prob;09:46
knomemight help as well09:46
xubiafter installing the 10.04 on my old HP xh 455(256MB RAM), 18 GBhard,with athlon at 900 MHz,09:47
knomeArpad2, well, you're free to edit the file ;)09:48
xubithe display is abt 10" and my screen is probably 15"09:48
Arpad2I tried with sudo nano09:48
knomeArpad2, and?09:49
Arpad2knome: Error opening terminal: unknown.09:49
knomeArpad2, try 'export TERM=xterm' first09:50
Arpad2knome: ok I tzpe it09:50
Arpad2knome: it worked :)09:53
knomegood, so you now can edit the file? :)09:53
knomexubi, erm... yeah, what are you suggested to do in order to fix the problem?09:54
Arpad2knome: already did :)09:54
knomegreat09:54
Arpad2knome: what was this trick  all about?09:54
knomeArpad2, nano didn't know the terminal type, since the TERM variable was unset. by exporting it with value xterm, nano knew it could work like it was in an xterm terminal09:55
xubiwell, I can't use the command line yet so I tried over menues; with driver looks ok so far but does not accept a better resolution than 800x60009:56
Arpad2knome: thx for the extensive explanation09:57
knomeArpad2, no problem ;)09:57
knomexubi, well, in order to create an xorg.conf file, follow these instructions: http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html09:58
knomexubi, then after that, you can edit the file from any text editor09:58
xubiI was suggested to edit xorg, course I didn't find it.09:58
xubinow I understand, I have to create it09:58
xubithanx for instrux09:59
knomeno problem09:59
xubiisn't another way do solve my display problem?10:00
knomexubi, probably not10:00
xubiwhat is zorg.xonf? it is in the same path where I should put the xorg10:02
knomethat was a typo, it should be xorg.conf :)10:03
xubi:) ok I was wild trying to find it10:03
knomeanyway, i have to go10:04
knomegoodl uck and see you later10:04

nicofsif i want a certain command (bash) to be run, every time the system starts - what file should i put it in?21:52
TheSheepnicofs: as root?21:53
TheSheepnicofs: or as user when you log in?21:54
TheSheepnicofs: also, what command is it, there may be a better way to do it21:54
nicofsTheSheep, i need to add a bit to $PATH - and then set the screen resolution...21:54
TheSheepnicofs: that's way after the system boot21:55
TheSheepnicofs: adding to path -- check ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc, and global equivalents in /etc/ for all users21:56
TheSheepnicofs: setting resolution -- create an xorg.conf file and set it there21:56
nicofsTheSheep, xorg.conf doesn't work...21:56
TheSheep!doesn't work21:57
ubottuDoesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.21:57
nicofsTheSheep, i wrote a script to do that... you just enter "resolution width height hz" and your screen gets  adjusted...21:57

TheSheepnicofs: wow, you wrote your own version of xrandr? :D21:58
nicofsTheSheep, no - but a script that unifies gtf and xrandr to something user-friendly...21:58
nicofsTheSheep, basically, it does all the addmode, changemode and so on for you...21:59
TheSheepanyways, just put it in your 'autostarted applications' in 'sessions and startup'21:59

wizardslovakwhere do i find c heaader files?23:20
wizardslovakWhat is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running23:21
wizardslovakkernel?23:21
scifimy laptop has a AD1996A high definition audio chipset and i cant get any sound from it, any suggestions23:22
well_laid_lawnwizardslovak: in /usr/include if you have them installed23:25
wizardslovakhmm23:27
wizardslovaki am getting this23:27
wizardslovakThe header files in /usr/include are generally for C libraries, not for the23:27

wizardslovakhow do i install them tho?23:27

wizardslovakbut still23:29
wizardslovakThe directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match23:29
wizardslovakyour running kernel (version 2.6.35-24-generic).  Even if the module were to23:29
