| Ziku | Hello, i have problem with dual monitors configuration at ubuntu studio 11.04 - configuration tool don't save changes (i'm trying to change default monitor) - could anyone help me with this? | 15:55 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Ziku: maybe | 16:00 |
| holstein | is this nvidia hardware? | 16:00 |
| Ziku | nope, ATI Radeon HD 4650 - i'm using ATI driver though had the same problem since I've installed ubuntu studio for first time (it's my second OS) | 16:01 |
| holstein | Ziku: whats the first OS | 16:02 |
| holstein | windows? | 16:02 |
| Ziku | yes, Win7 pro 64bit | 16:02 |
| holstein | are you using the proprietary driver? | 16:02 |
| Ziku | i've downloaded driver from ATI website | 16:03 |
| holstein | OK | 16:03 |
| holstein | thats what im using with my nvidia dual head rig | 16:03 |
| holstein | the proprietary driver* | 16:03 |
| holstein | Ziku: you might need to make a custom xorg.conf | 16:03 |
| holstein | Ziku: the deal is, ubuntustudio = ubuntu | 16:04 |
| Ziku | I was reading about it, but I don't have such file in X11 at all | 16:04 |
| holstein | SO, when you are searching, dont search ubuntustudio | 16:04 |
| holstein | just search, ubuntu whatever ATI card dual head | 16:04 |
| holstein | Ziku: if you put an xorg.conf in place, it'll be used | 16:05 |
| Ziku | yeah, I was searching for ubuntu, but you see, i'm not too familiar with console stuff so maybe I've missed something | 16:05 |
| holstein | you can make, and put an xorg in place without the console | 16:05 |
| holstein | sudo gedit | 16:06 |
| holstein | gksudo gedit | 16:06 |
| holstein | ^ gksudo is prefered | 16:06 |
| Ziku | what's difference? | 16:06 |
| holstein | you can start this by using alt+F2 | 16:06 |
| holstein | and typing gksudo gedit | 16:06 |
| holstein | Ziku: not much difference these days, but it used to be starting a graphical app without gksudo would be bad | 16:07 |
| holstein | !gksudo | 16:07 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 16:07 |
| holstein | anyways, its going to be challening Ziku | 16:07 |
| holstein | since, ubuntu doesnt make that driver, nor are they allowed to support it | 16:07 |
| Ziku | hmm.. ok, i've created file xorg.conf in etc/X11, still it's empty as I don't know what to put in it ;P | 16:08 |
| Ziku | yeah, but I had the same problem with default ubuntu driver | 16:08 |
| holstein | sure, and i dont either | 16:08 |
| holstein | since i dont have your hardware | 16:08 |
| holstein | but, i have used live CD's in the past | 16:08 |
| holstein | knoppix for example | 16:08 |
| holstein | and, you can try the configure command | 16:09 |
| holstein | *which i forget right now | 16:09 |
| Ziku | ok | 16:09 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 16:09 |
| holstein | sudo Xorg -configure | 16:09 |
| Ziku | thank you | 16:10 |
| holstein | you'll still need to poke around though and sort out how to add the 2nd display i think | 16:10 |
| Ziku | surely I will :) but at least now I know where to start | 16:10 |
| holstein | Ziku: i gotta run, but, try that, and also, try something like #ubuntu-beginners | 16:10 |
| holstein | somewhere relatively slow-ish, but active | 16:10 |
| Ziku | okay, thanks again | 16:10 |
| holstein | maybe someone in your loco team even | 16:11 |
| holstein | http://loco.ubuntu.com/ | 16:11 |
| bunty | hi all. anyone awake? | 18:25 |
