| mo_ | Hi , I am newbie to Ubuntu, I am difficulty in getting graphics drivers to load when i am running ubntu 10.02 from usb on my new laptop, HP nx8440 with Nvidia graphics, Ican hear the os load but the screen is blank /i.e. no graphics. Any help ? | 16:17 |
| mo_ | my email address vawdam @hotmail.com | 16:18 |
| Kilos | hi mo | 16:18 |
| Kilos | hi mo_ | 16:19 |
| mo_ | Hi kilos | 16:19 |
| Kilos | can you wait some please. most of the guys are on their way home i think | 16:19 |
| Kilos | welcome to ubuntu-za | 16:19 |
| mo_ | Hav Ubuntu on my desktop for a month and I love it!! | 16:20 |
| Kilos | good | 16:20 |
| Kilos | you can also try the mailing lists just try give as much info as possible | 16:21 |
| Kilos | ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com | 16:21 |
| mo_ | Thank U for that info, I will try that. I tried to google for solution to this problem , but does not seem to be common at all. | 16:22 |
| Kilos | normally ubuntu graphics work with the default settings and you get prop dardware drivers later | 16:24 |
| Kilos | but thats by me | 16:24 |
| Kilos | some one will help you they just overloaded with work this time of the year | 16:24 |
| mo_ | Unfortunately Ubuntu linux is not supported by HP. Though the laptopo is certified for another veresion of linux | 16:26 |
| Kilos | there will be a way to make it work. normally hp products work with ubuntu | 16:27 |
| Kilos | if it works on linux it will work with ubuntu | 16:28 |
| === smorar is now known as smorar_ | ||
| mo_ | It is strange because the stick works on any other comp I try it on. I have also tried older versions with the same problem! I guess Iwill be stuck with Win 7 for a while | 16:29 |
| Kilos | eish | 16:30 |
| Kilos | no man be patient. some one will be able to help i am sure | 16:30 |
| nuvolari | mo_: not supported? | 16:34 |

| Kilos | it must work | 16:40 |
| Kilos | maybe nuvolari can help you when he gets home | 16:40 |
| mo_ | That would be great, I am pleased that the linux community has people like yourself and others always willing to help where they can, maybe I will dump windows altogether! Lol | 16:43 |
| Kilos | w00t | 16:43 |
| superfly | mo_: you mean you're using 10.04? there's no such version as 10.02 | 16:44 |
| superfly | mo_: what graphics card do you have? | 16:45 |
| superfly | Kilos: what is this "windows" he speaks of? :-P | 16:46 |
| Kilos | 7 superfly | 16:46 |
| superfly | Kilos: 7? | 16:46 |
| Kilos | winows 7 | 16:46 |

| superfly | Morganvd: MS can't use the Linux kernel in Windows because of the GPL | 16:50 |
| Morganvd | man i need to bookmark my searches | 16:52 |
| superfly | Morganvd: you're possibly thinking of a blog post that I also read where a guy suggested that MS use the BSD kernel for Windows 9 | 16:53 |
| Morganvd | yeah | 16:53 |
| Morganvd | he was more saying that they where already discusing it | 16:53 |
| Morganvd | or something to that effect | 16:53 |

| Kilos | hi kbmonkey | 18:05 |
| kbmonkey | I have this really strange issue: When I click on Home Folder from the main Places menu, it tries to open with vlc :/ | 18:06 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:06 |
| Kilos | ha ha ha | 18:06 |
| Kilos | i had that | 18:06 |
| Morganvd | lol | 18:06 |
| kbmonkey | I remove vlc, and it opens in Nautilus | 18:06 |
| Kilos | right click on a folder on desktop and say open with | 18:06 |
| kbmonkey | ha ha yes :) | 18:06 |
| Kilos | then um | 18:06 |
| kbmonkey | Ahh, I did that last night, must've clicked a folder by mistake ;) | 18:07 |
| Kilos | um | 18:07 |
| Kilos | other option | 18:07 |
| Kilos | and look for gedit or whatever and tick the block that says use this for these kinds of files | 18:07 |
| kbmonkey | Oh wait, folder properties doesn't have a 'open with' tab | 18:08 |
| Kilos | wait a sec i see if i can do it again | 18:08 |
| kbmonkey | thanks :) | 18:08 |
| Kilos | right click | 18:09 |
| Kilos | open with other app | 18:09 |
| Kilos | and look for what you want it to use | 18:09 |
| Kilos | if i right i had to install gedit | 18:09 |
| Kilos | and gdebi | 18:09 |
| Kilos | they not here by default | 18:10 |

| Kilos | yes thats it | 18:10 |
| kbmonkey | the things you do unconsciously while multi-tasking | 18:11 |
| Kilos | thats how you get it to use gdebi instead of software centre too | 18:11 |
| Kilos | i like gdebi for installing | 18:11 |
| kbmonkey | myself, or command line | 18:12 |
| Kilos | i dont think gedit was installed either it wanted to use text reader or something | 18:12 |
| kbmonkey | learning so much about firewalls and networking this week | 18:12 |
| Kilos | thats good | 18:12 |
