[06:37] hey guys [06:37] Could someone help me with a problem [06:38] I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 10.10. It isn't recognizing my monitor and I'm unable to change the screen resolution [06:38] My chipset is i845g [06:38] please [06:38] somebody help [06:40] guys [06:40] please [06:46] \o [06:46] hellooooo [06:46] howdy [06:47] could you please help me [06:47] how many ports on your monitor? [06:47] 1 [06:47] sorry i meant your graphics card ^_^ [06:48] if its got more than one, try the other one [06:48] It is onboard and it has only 1 port i guess [06:48] ah [06:48] Im new to Ubuntu [06:48] :( [06:48] did the liveCD run fine? [06:49] I've been using ubuntu for a while, but well i wouldn't say I was a power user when it comes to fault finding really, but i try my best [06:49] yeah, it was perfect. But when I installed it, it is stuck at 1920X1080. No other option is show and Refresh rate is show '0' [06:50] I want to change it to 1280X720 [06:50] how'd ya get that info? [06:50] what info? [06:50] that it was stuck at 1920x1080 [06:51] I went to System->Preferences->Monitors [06:51] it says monitor isn't detected [06:51] hmm, if the monitor isn't detected, how are you being able to do that is my question [06:53] It is showing that way, even now im using Ubuntu at 1920X1080. The dialog box says "Monitor: Not Detected" and in the list of display modes, there is only one option i.e, 1920x1080 [06:53] ahhh [06:53] okay [06:53] i'm with you [06:54] so you can see, but you just can't change it [06:54] right [06:54] hold on [06:54] exactly [06:55] could you paste xorg.conf file [06:55] its found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:56] there's nor such file in there :( [06:57] what's in the X11 folder? [06:58] some files like "Xreset" "XsessionOptions" "Default Display manager" [06:58] "rgb.txt" [06:58] im using Ubuntu 10.10 by the way [06:59] there is a file "Xwrapper.config" [06:59] hmm [07:01] do I have to make a Xorg.conf file or something manually? [07:02] yeah we might have to [07:03] could you tutor me please [07:04] right, first lets see if we can configure it automatically first [07:04] you scared of the terminal? [07:04] You will be. YOU WILL BE. [07:04] Morning everyone ;) [07:04] because i want you to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:04] im a little familiar to it [07:04] alright good, well try that command :) [07:05] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:05] it says dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:05] MartijnVdS: morning dude :) - I must say the internet here is slow T___T i'm typing faster than my terminal can show what it is i've typed xD [07:05] must be runs a root [07:06] Photon_: ah run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:06] *run [07:06] then enter your password :) [07:06] if stuff asks for root, just put sudo in front :) [07:06] HazRPG: Light-speed delays eh? Being so far away and all :) [07:06] yeah, done. Nothing happened :( [07:08] MartijnVdS: hehe indeed [07:08] Photon_: hmm, did it not show anything? [07:08] Photon_: have a look to see if a file was made in /etc/X11/ [07:09] MartijnVdS: heh, even on holiday I'm still trying to help people out xD [07:09] bah [07:09] here's what is seen in my terminal: administrator@ubuntu:/etc/X11$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [sudo] password for administrator: administrator@ubuntu:/etc/X11$ [07:09] Photon_: check the folder to see if it made an xorg.conf file :) [07:10] no :( :( [07:11] Hi [07:11] Any typing courses available in Ubuntu 10.10 ? [07:11] MartijnVdS: you any good with xorg? [07:12] a little [07:12] Last time I needed to configure it, I copied the failsafe xorg.conf and edited it by hand [07:12] MartijnVdS: apparently Photon_ doesn't have an xorg.conf file and his chipset is i846g (can't detect monitor using graphical tools to change resolution) [07:13] I had one of those just yesterday :) [07:13] MartijnVdS: ubuntu 10.10 [07:13] kaushal: there's TuxType [07:13] kaushal: might be called TuxTyping [07:13] Photon_: Can you restart in recovery mode, then select the option to "fix X"? [07:13] kaushal: only one I really know, but its pretty good :) [07:14] MartijnVdS: heh, didn't think of that :) [07:14] MartijnnVds: how do I do that? I'm a Novice :( [07:14] Photon_: Hold Shift while the computer is starting [07:14] HazRPG: Thanks [07:14] Photon_: then select the "Recovery mode" option [07:14] after that? [07:15] then [07:15] then it'll give you a menu with a few options (root, rescue, etc.) [07:15] kaushal: no problem, if the dictionaries inside it aren't to your liking, i think you can create (or possibly download from somewhere) your own [07:15] you can choose to fix X from there [07:15] kaushal: but it does come with several different ones [07:15] does it have a GUI? [07:16] I don't know even a single command to use with the terminal [07:16] Photon_: it's a text-mode menu (controlled with arrows and enter key) [07:16] Photon_: it'll be a text-based GUI iirc [07:16] Photon_: and it might open up a basic graphical environment [07:16] what is goin to happen after I select fix X? [07:17] Photon_: That depends on whether it _can_ actually fix X [07:17] but you should end up either on the login screen, or back on the recovery menu [07:17] If (1), just log in [07:17] if (2), select "restart" [07:18] I'll try it now [07:18] good luck :) [07:18] I'll be right back [07:18] :) [07:18] hey [07:18] one more thing [07:19] I have a an XP along side it [07:19] it won't touch that [07:19] should I hold shift after I selct Ubuntu ? [07:19] No, if you have XP you don't have to hold shift at all [07:19] there should be 2 Ubuntu options (at least) [07:19] 1 "normal" one, and one "Rescue mode" one [07:20] yeah, theres one i remeber [07:20] i brb :) [07:29] hey guys [07:29] I tried it [07:30] It showed "Ubuntu is running in a low graphics mode. Your hardware is not detected by Ubuntu. You have to reconfigure it yourself" [07:30] Hmm [07:30] I tried clicking "Create a new configuration" but nothing happens [07:31] Photon_: did it leave an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [07:31] (or an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe) [07:31] in the troubleshoot menu, there was something like Xorg Server file [07:31] lemme see [07:32] yes! [07:32] it left a file named: [07:32] xorg.conf.failsafe [07:32] Photon_: if you copy that, to xorg.conf [07:33] here's what is written in it [07:33] Photon_: and then edit it, and add a line saying: [07:33] Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "fbdev" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection [07:33] Between "Section "Device"" and "EndSection", add a new line saying: [07:33] *looking up" [07:33] uhrm [07:34] Photon_: dont paste in here :P [07:34] Photon_: if you want to paste stuff, paste them into paste.ubuntu.com [07:34] Photon_: The line should be: Driver "intel" [07:34] ah [07:35] Photon_: Replace "fbdev" with "intel" :) [07:35] HazRPG: sorry [07:35] :) [07:35] Photon_: then save (as /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and restart [07:37] the file seems uneditabl [07:37] e [07:37] Photon_: which command are you trying? [07:38] you mean, editor? [07:38] do this: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:38] sort of [07:38] gedit [07:38] try gksudo gedit [07:39] then do: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:39] bah, lag [07:39] stupid 3g internet is slow here [07:39] perfect! [07:39] I can edit it [07:39] ^_^ [07:40] yeah [07:40] I replaced fbdev with intel [07:41] leave the rest intact? [07:43] i will restart and try, i brb guys [07:46] WOW! [07:46] It worked [07:46] ! [07:46] my monitor's now detected [07:46] and it is showing all the modes! [07:47] Guys! Thank you so much! [07:48] HazRPG and MartijnVds, thank you guys! I love you! :D [07:49] Photon_: heh no problem dude [07:49] ^_^ [07:51] Photon_: glad its call working now [07:53] cool :) [07:54] I use Intel Extreme Graphics accelrator on XP. There is no need of it in Ubuntu right? [07:57] what is it? [07:58] It is a graphics driver I use in windows XP [08:01] Ubuntu has just the one driver per chipset [08:02] (well two for some, but one is open source/free software, the other one is proprietary) [08:02] how can I run windows applications here? [08:02] I heard, we use some software called Wine? [08:09] you can use wine, but lots of programs won't work 100% [08:10] I have one more problem, Video isn't shown when I play a file, but only Audio. I'm using Vlc. Is there a solution? [08:11] no video at all? [08:12] no video, but the player resizes to the video's dimensions. Audio is working fine [08:27] MartijnVds, there? [10:01] Morning [10:08] Hello world, a quick question? [10:09] how can I get from the comand line the name of the windows that are open? or programs that are running? [10:10] good morning everyone. [10:10] now I'm running terminal, firefox, and epifany for example. How do I get the treminal to say this? ~$ps is too much [10:10] good morning [10:11] good morning andres_kain [10:15] I tried ~$ps -d -u andres is also too much but it is a little better [10:19] Aloha [10:19] morning czajkowski [10:32] OK maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. how do I get gnome to tell me through the terminal the windows I'm working with? [10:44] andres_kain: whats the actual goal here? [10:44] Hi thanks popey! [10:45] well.. I'm ashamed to say a simple script at the end of my emails saying what i'm doing [10:45] so now i'm running firefox, terminal and epifany [10:45] I'd like the terminal to output that so that I could set it on my signature. [10:47] andres_kain: xlsclients? [10:47] that might be a bit too much though [10:48] ewww [10:48] better! [10:48] but a pity no man page! [10:48] might have some sort of less or something [10:49] upps [10:49] missspelt [10:49] yes man page [10:50] popey: hm? :) [10:50] just sounds like an icky thing to put in your signature [10:51] you might end up with "Firefox - Adult Video Website" in your signature [10:51] yeah, that too [10:52] and "Totem - Dodgy downloaded video (divx).mkv" [10:52] haahahaaha yeah OK, will not be my default signature [10:53] And don't forget: "Firefox - Amazon wishlist for your@girlfriend.com" (in email to your wife ;)) [10:54] (note: I'm so paranoid I used to not use last.fm because then people could see what I was listening to) [10:55] good one. hum found xprop, nothing to do but intersting comand [10:56] andres_kain: you might be able to get a list using libwnck [10:56] no idea how to work that though [10:57] sorry, i'm a bit newbie here: libwnck is not a command right? [10:58] no, it's a library you can use to write a program that does what you want [10:58] ah. OK. I'll write that down. [10:59] check python-wnck -- it has an "examples" directory in /usr/share/doc/python-wnck/examples [11:00] ok great, just might do some sed editing out of the xlsclients to remove machine name and applets... se how that goes [11:00] Thank you guys really helpful! [11:02] gotta go now! thanks again! === OCEAN_ is now known as Guest30343 [11:42] hi guys i am using ubuntu 10.10 on a hp laptop which has got switchable graphcis with ATI hd 5000 series with intel. I have never been able to use it with VGA switcheroo because high perfomance never worked. do u need to make sure that 2 drivers are present simultaneously for VGA switcheroo to do its job? [11:43] Have you tried 11.04? [11:43] (I've never used vga-switcheroo) [11:44] MartijnVdS, ubuntu 11.04 was a pain. it gave me a blank screen after the install [11:44] i switched back to 10.10 as it is atleast working [11:45] I have no idea then, sorry. [11:49] weird, overnight something killed my webalizer stats. [11:52] brobostigon: cron rotating the web server log? [11:53] MartijnVdS: that was going to be, my first port of call. [11:54] MartijnVdS: looks lke something like it, start of the log, is just past 6am this morning. [11:54] brobostigon: that's rotation time [11:54] brobostigon: there should be an old file as well, that contains entries up to that time [11:55] usually .0 or .1 at the end [11:55] let me look. [11:56] MartijnVdS: yep,there is. [11:57] webalizer by default points to the old one, not teh current one [11:59] popey: can i specify more than one log file for it to process? [12:00] for multiple websites or multiple files for one website [12:00] multiple access.log's for a single site. [12:01] but there aren't multiple access logs though [12:01] or do i modify apache's log file rotation. [12:01] there's one [12:01] what are you trying to achieve? [12:01] i have, access.log and access.log.1 [12:01] yes, access.log.1 is the one you point webalizer at [12:01] access.log is the current one, it becomes access.log.1 at 6am tomorrow [12:02] so access.log gets added onto access.log.1, [12:02] no [12:02] access.log _becomes_ access.log.1 [12:03] you'll eventually end up with lots of them [12:03] older ones will be gzipped [12:03] access.log.1 gets gzipped as access.log.2.gz, then access.log gets moved to access.log.1, and a new, empty access.log is created [12:03] wont you then only, always have a single days worth od stats in webalizer, as that is all it picksup, ? [12:03] no [12:03] it keeps history db [12:04] and updates that with the contents of access.log.1 [12:04] ah, i see.make more sense now. [12:05] ok, iwill check weblizer's .conf, and make sure it is pointed atthe right place. [12:06] thank you popey and MartijnVdS. :) === lubotu3` is now known as lubotu3 === denny- is now known as denny [12:49] yo people! [14:19] Afternoon.

[18:13] Do you know which chipset? [18:19] IEEE 802.11abgn [18:19] MartijnVdS: ^ [18:19] that's the type.. is it Intel? I think the Intel driver has a bug with 802.11n networks, so that gets disabled. [18:20] (on some chips) [18:20] it is intel [18:21] MartijnVdS: 'WiFi Link 5100 [18:21] yeah that's the one with the driver bug [18:21] I think it might be fixed in the newest Ubuntu, but I'm not sure. [18:21] I have 11.04 [18:23] Then it's not fixed :| [18:24] Should be. [18:24] I mean it works fine [18:24] and has done [18:24] just at half speed [19:50] MartijnVdS :< they finally did it [19:58] fujisan: "they"? "it"? [19:59] oh nvm [19:59] ever since i spoke out about quasi racism in ubuntu-nl-offtopic certain members got really hostile with me and eventually banned me :/ [19:59] ah [20:00] fujisan: then you can complain to the councils etc. [20:01] not really they actually didnt ban me after it last time and just let me chat there but the atmosphere is very hostile so i don't know why i should complain about it i mean i can't stop racism in the Netherlands it's growing and ubuntu-nl-offtopic is just one example of it [20:02] anyways end rant sorry it's not the place here [20:02] just needed to vent [20:05] speaking of not the place for it .. netherlands .. y u no vote for us?

[21:14] 3-1 to Finland :-D [21:15] MartijnVdS: I haven't looked if any satellite carrier has these on schedule in UK [21:15] Myrtti: You could get any satellite dish, point it at the sat a Finnish sat provider uses it, register the card on a Finnish address and off you go [21:17] I know people who do that with Dutch TV/sat when they live abroad [21:44] I fixed the issue by disabling n on the drivers [21:45] Myrtti: sorry for disappearing.
