[00:10] hello all, I just installed xbuntu on my new toshiba laptop. It has a nvidia graphics card [00:11] I used the "additional drivers" tool to install proprietary nvidia drivers [00:11] I rebooted the laptop [00:12] when I went back to check if it installed the tool says "this driver is activated but not currently in use" [00:12] does it work? [00:12] you're not first reporting that.. [00:13] it's xubuntu 11.04 [00:13] XD [00:13] all the people is having that problem [00:14] on all flavors of *buntu [00:14] have you tried >sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:14] and rebooting? [00:14] I used xubuntu 9.10 release on my previous laptop [00:14] and I didn't have this issue [00:15] mastaofdisasta: Check your Xorg.0.conf to see what driver it using. [00:15] seems to be a 11.04 thing [00:15] mastaofdisasta: It is [00:15] it is [00:15] i don't care what jockey says.. it sucks anyway [00:16] i seem to have same issue [00:17] but i'm more interested about rhythmbox and aptitude failing [00:17] you clean installed or upgraded? [00:18] clean install [00:18] same here [00:18] rhythmbox doesn't give errors even with debug [00:18] should I just go with 10.04? [00:18] download and install 10.04? [00:19] if you got correct resolution etc the driver is working, just enjoy new xfce [00:19] drc: Xorg.0.conf can't find it [00:20] it's not in the system [00:20] less /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:20] it says "Device" [00:20] Identifier "Default Device" [00:21] Option "NoLogo" "True" [00:21] that's it [00:21] short file [00:22] ok ran nvidia-xconf [00:22] nvidia-xconfig [00:22] it made a new configuration file [00:22] lspci -k and find your device [00:22] http://askubuntu.com/questions/37590/nvidia-drivers-not-working-after-11-04-update-why-can-i-only-see-terminal [00:23] Souperman: no his drivers are working, just jockey with wrong message [00:23] Sysi: it says Kernel Driver in use: nvidia [00:24] Sysi: Kernel modules: nvidia-current, noveau, nvidiafb [00:24] enjoy your xubuntu (and wish it won't explode in first kernel update) [00:25] yeah well i had the same problem and my flash player was working wrong and other stuff so i removed the nvidia drivers rebooted and reinstalled and rebooted and it worked all again, but people all over the ubuntu channels are complaining about the same problem [00:25] take off HW acceleration [00:25] right click on some flash [00:26] its an nvidia thing, it now works, because it now does [00:28] i'll reboot to see if that fixes rhythmbox [00:29] I'm rebooting after the nvidia-xconfig [00:29] hope it works. [00:29] wish me luck people! [00:30] i wish he didn't break it with that [00:30] Sysi: What's wrong with your Rhythmbox? [00:30] it doesn't start [00:31] That be a problem. [00:31] ..killall rhythmbox and working [00:33] volume control in it doesn't work without pulseaudio :( [00:33] i think i could get JuK [00:34] seems to be working, just that drive GUI tool still says the driver is not currently in use [00:36] go to the screensaver choosing thingy and choose hypertorus, if it works fine you dont have to worry [00:37] i already forgot how everything kde-stubb breaks my sound with ubuntu 10.10+ [00:37] *stuff [00:46] rhythmbox started failing badly, i'll try banshee [00:46] another issue here with xubuntu 11.04 [00:46] this laptop has 4GB RAM [00:46] when I do free -m [00:46] or top [00:46] it only reports 2954 [00:46] 2954M [00:47] 32bit? [00:47] I believe I have installed 32bit yes [00:47] but should the kernel have PAE extension?

[01:15] hey guys, I tried installing "linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae" but it will not boot [01:15] how do I look at the log messages [01:16] or how do I boot without splash [01:16] !nox [01:16] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[01:18] that will pull in what other packages you need [01:18] mastaofdisasta, not that I know of [01:18] bazhang: thanks [01:31] 11.04 is working great so far. [01:36] thats great to hear nekoCAT [01:57] bin_bash: did that command fix your camera? [02:10] hello, anyone paying attention tonight? [02:10] no, we're all off at the pub [02:11] I just got a GPU application running, was wondering how to determine GPU loading and temperature... [02:11] It's a Nvidia/Galaxy GEForce GTX440... [02:12] I'm also a bit unfamiliar with xchat....what is the significance of the grayed-out names on the channel? [02:13] eric, that means they are away [02:13] You can mark yourself as way but stay logged in. [02:14] clear enough...was trying to figure out how to do that.... [02:15] eric: Do you want something to give you a continuously updated status, or something like Menu>System> Nvidia X Server Settings ? [02:15] haven't decided yet... [02:16] I'm assuming you've install the Additional Drivers [02:16] and Have that in your menu [02:17] my system thinks those are disabled...I'm using the tip from nvidia proper at the moment [02:17] but nvidia X server settings is on the menu...not sure if it is going to work or crash the X server.... [02:18] My primary monitor is connected to the on-board ATI Radeon adapter; the Nvidia card is running a second monitor, slightly laggy due to the CUDA work it is doing... [02:18] One way to find out..... [02:19] yeah, but if I disappear, you know what that means... [02:19] eric: You really want to do things the hard way...two monitors and nvidia AND ATI video cards :) [02:20] Monitor #2 is a CRT; not really doing much for me, just proving the nvidia card works..... [02:20] * KM0201 agreed.. dual screens is really easy w/ just nvidia. [02:20] the ATI is on the mobo, so I can't exactly yank it out... [02:21] lol, true. [02:21] eric: You should be able toi disable it in bios ? [02:21] * KM0201 hates onboard video [02:22] my experience, has always been that onboard video gets disabled, when a video card is detected [02:22] couldn't find the setting to do that...besides, the Nvidia card is for CUDA (coprocessing), not so much video... [02:22] and yes, that happened on my machine at work, but not on *this* machine...an ASRock 880GM/LE mobo... [02:22] Well, I'm out of my depth now, so I'll watch you celebrate or disappear :) [02:24] alright, be quite for a minute, don't try to tell me anything until I make another post... [02:27] It's reliable...I just disappeared and resurrected myself.... [02:28] let me go see what's in /var/log/X11 [02:29] I've killed the CUDA job... [02:32] got "Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting" [02:33] and a long list of addresses....is the first one or the last one in the stack trace the one with the segmentation fault? [02:33] hi Galok [02:36] hello, looking for help monitoring GPU usage and temperature.. [02:40] also wondering how to set CPU affinity....system has 6 cores... [02:42] cpu affinity? taskset -c -p [02:43] It apparently only works when you launch an app, not after. Never used it before so I'm not familiar with the specifics. [02:52] hey guys, my laptop has a light up keyboard but the lighting up doesn't work when I load xubuntu. [03:14] ok. [03:17] nekoCAT, thanks... [03:17] seems to work OK on simple apps... [03:31] how do I get my GPU temperature (and/or load) from the command line? [03:34] i had to force quit and when i restarted (after i reloaded the nvidia driver which somehow stopped) i new and weird problem started. when i watch a video the color (hue) is set to 0 and i have to manual adjust it. [03:34] but if i open a picture the colors are fine and my background image and everything else is the right color [03:34] is there some way to adjust the global video colors? [03:36] it doesn't matter what video player i use --vlc (which is my default and allows me to adjust color settings) and parole are both affected [03:37] metroid1: vlc has acted very wonky for me as well.. parole, on the other hand, has worked flawlessly [03:38] yes they were both working wonderfully (vlc has had some quircks) but this color thing is new... just tonight since i reloaded my nvidia driver [03:39] i think it is super odd that all my video players are affected but the rest of the desktop and apps are fine [03:41] and flash is fine... but i am not overly surprised by that [03:43] is there a way to change edit global video settings? (preferably with a GUI) [03:55] Someone paged me? [03:55] naa, was just wondering if that fixed your camera [03:55] >paged, wow thats old [03:55] lol [03:56] KM0201: No it didn't even show up in the list of devices [03:56] oh.. hmm [03:56] In Skype [03:56] Remember? [03:56] no.. i don't [03:56] but.. ok..lol [03:56] * bin_bash feeels like the twilight zone [03:56] lol [03:56] (01:23:04 PM) Anon: mk it says no device found in the test thing [03:57] i dunno, i'm out of ideas on fixing it [03:57] lol, owned by a log [03:57] Yeah. It's okay. It looks normal at first, but then doesn't. [03:57] Idk. [03:57] strange [03:57] yeah [03:57] dude [03:57] do you not remember our conversation from earlier today [03:58] vaguely [03:58] i took some dope and fell asleep (legal dope) [03:58] gotcha [04:00] When I was a kid my parents told me I didn't need a cell phone or pager because I wasn't a drug dealer or a business man [04:01] lol, i could tell you a funny story about why i was finally shamed into gettin a cell phone. [04:01] but its off topic [04:01] come to ot then, silly boy. [04:07] well_laid_lawn: thats a clever user name [04:07] lol [04:08] heh :) [04:13] i think i'm gonna switch my PC to xubuntu tomorrow. [04:14] you should [04:14] xfce ROCKS [04:14] zenrox: its growing on me... [04:14] just fits like an old pair of shoes [04:14] my desktop though, is a little more leet than my laptop. [04:14] your fav old pair of shues [04:15] dual screens, 4gigs of ram, etc. [04:15] so it should run traditional gnome just fine [04:15] i might even put the fedora 15 beta w/ Gnome on it. [04:16] ya but imagine all the leftover horsepower left over for games [04:16] im in love whit xfce panels XD [04:16] lol [04:16] zenrox: i'm not really a gamer [04:17] i just have dual screens so i can play solitaire on one monitor, and wat h movies on the other [04:17] lol [04:17] ok for the gfx for the music [04:18] i mean they are a trillion times more awesome than any dock you can find around, they all do weird stuff, but not xfce panels, you got a weather applet, you got staking icons, editable pngs, auto hide, all what you need [04:18] yep and all more easyer to config than gnome [04:18] yes, or any stand alone dock [04:19] yep [04:19] and you can make as many as you want too [04:19] i do like the weather applet for xfce [04:19] yes, sadly if you make them float they wont stay on the desktop and will be always on top [04:20] i got the one that was stock to float and auto hide [04:20] D: that would be awesome [04:21] i can't do that, i tried [04:21] and it is not on tip [04:21] top [04:23] i also shourtend it too [04:24] to make it look like a osX bar [04:27] someone is asking in another channel how to convert his Ubuntu to Xubuntu, would it be as simple as installing xubuntu-desktop and removing ubuntu-desktop? [04:27] the last thing i want my xfce to look like, is osx [04:28] maybe with some gtk leftovers [04:28] ya [04:28] bin_bash: is an osx fanboy(girl?), she'll probably make an effort to do that.. she loves macs [04:28] but id leave the ubuntu-desktop [04:28] !pure xubuntu [04:28] XD i can't do that how do i do that [04:28] I AM NOT!!!!

[04:33] "Yess... I used to be a man... but now I'm a WOman..." [04:33] n2diy: sounds like a theme issue [04:34] n2diy: Do you have compositing turned on? [04:34] bin_bash, haven't loaded any themes, so it is a default issue. [04:34] n2diy, it could have to do whit composition stuff [04:34] n2diy, you updated your video card drivers? [04:34] n2diy: I'm talking about one of the default themes. Do you have compositing turned on? [04:35] !info qtconfig [04:35] Package qtconfig does not exist in natty [04:35] !find qtconfig [04:35] Found: qt3-qtconfig, qt4-qtconfig [04:35] bin_bash, , Souperman, I'm just running plain jane, old hardware, the problem started when I upgraded to 10.10. [04:36] oh, upgrading, that never goes well, try to update your video card drivers [04:36] do >sudo jockey-gtk [04:36] Souperman, why would the drivers only have problems with mouse overs? [04:36] and check that you are using the proper drivers [04:37] ok. [04:37] is the transparencies, they need composition [04:40] bin_bash, , Souperman, lshw indicates the display is unclaimed, and then lists the vendor and card info? [04:40] hm [04:40] which video card [04:41] nvidia for sure, or maybe intel, they both are having huge problems today [04:41] My intel card is working fine [04:41] product: Rage XL AGP 2X [04:41] vendor: ATI Technologies Inc [04:41] oh XD lol all the other way [04:42] told you it was plain jane. :) [04:43] n2diy, can you imagebin.org to see whats going on? [04:44] n2diy: lol, that card is like 15yrs old [04:44] n2diy: if it were me, i'd pick up a cheap (old) agp nvidia card.. they woork great w/ linux [04:45] Souperman, I don't know, I've never heard of imagebin.org., KM0201, yes it is, so is all my hardware, and it was all free too. [04:45] n2diy: well thats awesome.. is the video card working? [04:45] n2diy, i mean if you can upload a screencap there to see [04:46] KM0201, everything was fine here, until I upgraded to 10.10, and then mouse overs in korganizer got weird. [04:46] hmm [04:46] Souperman, a screenshot? [04:47] ... [04:47] n2diy: there you go, this would probably be a huge upgrade for your machine..lol http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4331476&CatId=933 [04:48] KM0201, I don't want to replace working hardware, I want to fix a glitch in korganizer. [04:48] n2diy: lol, i'm teasing you [04:48] i don't do KDE stuff, so i'm no help [04:49] KM0201, Ha, ha, reminds me of the firehouse. [04:49] :) [04:50] :), so somewhere there is a config file where I can change the mouse over display from black on black to something sane, but I can't find it? [04:51] n2diy, why korganizer and no some other gtk based organizer like osmo? [04:51] Souperman, because I found korganizer first, like ten years ago!? [04:52] how do you get xchat to show in the system try all the time [04:52] it does [04:52] :/ [04:52] tell it [04:52] not for i. [04:53] its an option [04:53] zenrox: i went through options, and can't find it [04:53] KM0201, #xchat [04:53] KM0201, I'm using xchat-gnome. [04:53] "enable system try icon" is checked [04:53] dont know [04:53] it stays open for me [04:53] Souperman: no offense, but xchat is the most useless support channel on freenode [04:54] i beg to differ, #exaile is [04:54] xfce [04:54] they helped me [04:55] Souperman: actually, the most useless, is #debian [04:55] n2diy, so you updated the recomended drivers? [04:55] #xchat is a close second [04:55] ask, what you have to lose? [04:55] Souperman, no, I haven't looked for any recommended drivers. [04:57] Souperman: its not a huge issue, i'll figure it out eventually [05:04] n2diy, have you gone to the xfce4-settings-manager and checked that composition was activated on the compositor tab on the window manager menu? [05:06] or was in on window manager tweaks? i dont know my system is on spañish, but it should be this last one [05:07] Souperman, ok, I'll look around inxfce4, thanks. [05:08] how do you get xchat to show in the system try all the time?

[06:12] it won't upgrade anyway. lol [06:12] you should ALWAYS back your stuff up when upgrading to a new OS [06:12] fslima0: back your stuff up and do a clean isntall. [06:12] ^ [06:12] this also, clean installs all the way [06:12] yea [06:13] but i feel lazy. lol [06:13] this is a netbook [06:13] Can not mark 'xubuntu-desktop' for upgrade [06:14] well laziness is the path to lost data === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:14] fslima0: how are you trying to upgrade?
