| Guest70950 | hello | 03:47 |
| Guest70950 | looking for help please | 03:47 |
| ball | Guest70950: Don't ask to ask, just ask. | 03:52 |
| Guest89512 | how do i get higher resolutions? | 06:23 |
| madnick | Guest89512: do you have the proper drivers? | 06:32 |
| Guest89512 | I doudt it, how do I check...tried installing from nvidia but not sure how to make it work what to do | 06:32 |
| madnick | Is it a new installation? | 06:33 |
| madnick | You could check restricted drivers | 06:33 |
| madnick | Go to the menu -> system -> additional drivers | 06:33 |
| Guest89512 | where is menu? lol | 06:34 |
| madnick | Is it a command line install? | 06:34 |
| Guest89512 | got it | 06:34 |
| madnick | oh | 06:34 |
| Guest89512 | no its not command line | 06:35 |
| Guest89512 | im just prety new | 06:35 |
| madnick | :) | 06:35 |
| Guest89512 | once i get to aditional drivers then what? | 06:36 |
| madnick | Check if there are any from nvidia there | 06:36 |
| madnick | I guess they want you to enter your root passw | 06:36 |
| Guest89512 | it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system? | 06:37 |
| madnick | Hm, okay | 06:38 |
| madnick | Well, you said you had downloaded the drivers? | 06:38 |
| Guest89512 | I may have | 06:38 |
| madnick | Okay, i guess its a sh script? | 06:38 |
| Guest89512 | I went to nvidia and download what i thought were the drivers | 06:38 |
| madnick | okay | 06:39 |
| Guest89512 | saved em to cmp but dont know how to use them | 06:39 |
| madnick | open a terminal | 06:39 |
| madnick | and cd to the location where the drivers was downloaded | 06:39 |
| madnick | probably cd ~/Downloads | 06:39 |
| Guest89512 | I used to code a littel in HS but Im totaly new to this terinal thing | 06:39 |
| madnick | :) | 06:40 |
| Guest89512 | I'm glad you're happy, becuase seems like not too many ppl want to help | 06:40 |
| Guest89512 | what does cd meen? | 06:41 |
| madnick | change directory | 06:41 |
| madnick | when you are in downloads (if the drivers are located there) | 06:42 |
| madnick | type: chmod +x NV then press TAB to get the fullname | 06:42 |
| madnick | press enter | 06:42 |
| Guest89512 | ok is this in terminal or gui | 06:43 |
| madnick | terminal | 06:43 |
| madnick | you could go it with gui | 06:44 |
| Guest89512 | terminal says there is no such file or directory that is downloads or download | 06:44 |
| madnick | but its just faster to do it in the terminal | 06:44 |
| Guest89512 | Im in gui file downloads | 06:44 |
| madnick | Guest89512: did you type ~/Downloads? | 06:44 |
| Guest89512 | and i have this file | 06:44 |
| Guest89512 | NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run | 06:44 |
| madnick | ok | 06:44 |
| madnick | right click it | 06:44 |
| madnick | Properties | 06:44 |
| Guest89512 | ok | 06:45 |
| madnick | set it to executable in permissions i guess | 06:45 |
| madnick | wait | 06:45 |
| madnick | Guest89512: do this | 06:45 |
| madnick | right click in the folder | 06:46 |
| madnick | "open terminal" | 06:46 |
| madnick | that'll open a terminal in that folder | 06:46 |
| madnick | then type chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run | 06:46 |
| Guest89512 | my syntax was off before by the way...had it open in original terminal | 06:46 |
| madnick | oh | 06:46 |
| madnick | after you did that | 06:47 |
| madnick | you can install the drivers by typing | 06:47 |
| madnick | ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run | 06:47 |
| Guest89512 | hmmm maybe I messed something up | 06:48 |
| madnick | what happened? | 06:48 |
| Guest89512 | chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run | 06:49 |
| madnick | thats correct | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | See "man sudo_root" for details. | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ chmod +x | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | chmod: missing operand after `+x' | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | Try `chmod --help' for more information. | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run | 06:49 |

| Guest89512 | bash: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.19.run: No such file or directory | 06:49 |
| Guest89512 | jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ ^C | 06:49 |

| Guest89512 | jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ | 06:49 |
| madnick | you typed the wrong name | 06:49 |
| madnick | chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run | 06:49 |
| madnick | wait | 06:50 |
| madnick | Guest89512: to get the right name | 06:50 |
| madnick | You can type NV then press tab | 06:50 |
| madnick | and the fullname will pop up | 06:50 |
| madnick | also type | 06:50 |
| madnick | sudo ./NV and tab | 06:51 |
| madnick | after that | 06:51 |
| Guest89512 | I feel dumb | 06:51 |
| madnick | no its alot to take in | 06:51 |
| madnick | This is just a one time thing | 06:51 |
| madnick | :) | 06:51 |

| madnick | and enter | 06:52 |
| Guest89512 | ok | 06:53 |

| Wizard | hi! | 06:53 |
| madnick | hi | 06:53 |
| Guest89512 | To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". | 06:53 |
| Guest89512 | See "man sudo_root" for details. | 06:53 |

| madnick | ok | 06:53 |
| Guest89512 | shit | 06:53 |
| Guest89512 | it says I some warning | 06:53 |
| madnick | The problem is | 06:54 |
| madnick | you are typing chmod +x then enter | 06:54 |
| madnick | its supposed to be on the same line | 06:54 |
| madnick | and you forgot sudo | 06:54 |
| Wizard | what's going on? | 06:54 |
| madnick | let me paste for you | 06:54 |
| madnick | exactly what to type | 06:54 |
| Guest89512 | FNG here | 06:54 |
| madnick | I am a bit concerned that it says that the nvidia file does not exist | 06:55 |
| madnick | Guest89512: if you type ls | 06:55 |
| madnick | http://paste.ubuntu.com | 06:56 |
| madnick | type ls and copy the output to that website | 06:56 |
| Guest89512 | ok | 06:57 |
| madnick | http://paste.ubuntu.com/648016/ | 06:57 |
| madnick | That is all you should have to do btw | 06:57 |
| madnick | Perhaps there may be a problem with X running, but I dont think it will, but long ago since i did this | 06:58 |
| Guest89512 | it says i dont have an nvidia gpu supported by 275 | 06:58 |
| Guest89512 | somehting somtehing | 06:58 |
| madnick | Sure you downloaded the correct drivers? | 06:59 |
| Guest89512 | no | 06:59 |
| madnick | okay | 06:59 |
| madnick | Do you know what your card is called? | 06:59 |
| madnick | dpkg --list | grep -i nvidia | 06:59 |
| Guest89512 | nvidia 240M | 07:00 |
| madnick | okay | 07:00 |
| madnick | is your computer 64 or 32bit? | 07:00 |
| Guest89512 | 64 | 07:01 |
| madnick | http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/275.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run&lang=us&type=GeForce | 07:01 |

| madnick | but since you got virtualbox | 07:03 |
| madnick | Just click on "Devices" in the menu, and "install guest additions" | 07:03 |
| madnick | and you will be fine | 07:03 |
| madnick | No need to get "real drivers" | 07:03 |

| madnick | to any resolution | 07:04 |
| madnick | and fullscreen | 07:04 |
| Guest89512 | I opened up guest additions and there are like 10 files | 07:05 |
| Guest89512 | and they are all locked | 07:06 |
| madnick | Well, there is a file called something "Linux" and 64 bits right? | 07:06 |

| k_sze | Does anybody know how to configure samba in Natty so it can be accessed from a Mac? | 07:15 |
| k_sze | I've tried to configure samba using gadmin-samba | 07:15 |
| madnick | http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-do-i-connect-a-mac-os-x-machine-to-a-samba-share/173 | 07:16 |
| k_sze | But Mac OS X just tells me 'Connection failed' and 'There was an error connecting to the server "192.168.0.11". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.' | 07:17 |
| k_sze | madnick: same result | 07:22 |
| Wizard | is there any avachi gui tool? | 07:24 |
| Wizard | seems no :D | 07:43 |
| Wizard | k_sze, have you tried setting up proper configurations by hand? | 07:44 |
| MJBrune | how can I tell the mixer to use the speakers not the headphones? | 07:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | !info pavucontrol | 08:29 |

| k_sze | The File Manager in Xubuntu doesn't have a search function. o.O | 10:13 |

| artvir | hello | 14:58 |
| artvir | one question: does the xubuntu 11.04 cd iso contain openoffice? | 14:58 |
| charlie-tca | no | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu used gnumeric and abiword instead of the openoffice/libreoffice suite | 14:59 |
| artvir | anything powerpoint-like? | 15:00 |
| charlie-tca | not by default, no | 15:00 |
| charlie-tca | you can install openoffice if you want it, | 15:01 |
| charlie-tca | it is in the repositories | 15:01 |
| artvir | ok... thank you | 15:09 |
| GridCube | artvir: there is also a powerpoint viewer on the repositories, no need to install the whole open office for it | 15:30 |
| cpx | hi there | 18:05 |
| Josesordo | hello | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | !hi | Josesordo | 19:02 |
| ubottu | Josesordo: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 19:02 |
| Baltazaar | when I resize some application windows, like the xfce-terminal, my screen gets big black square in the top left corner, like this: http://www.mentalhub.com/snaps/after.png | 19:32 |
| Baltazaar | Just found out it is a known bug with the Nvidia drivers | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | so, it would really be better not to ask in multiple channels at one time | 19:40 |
| xubuntu043 | is there a keyboard shortcut to change screen resolution ? | 20:23 |
| === xubuntu043 is now known as installingXUbunt | ||
| installingXUbunt | what does it mean when linux cant enumerate USB port | 20:30 |
| installingXUbunt | unable to enumerate USB device Port 5 | 20:32 |
| charlie-tca | Hello, GridCube | 20:49 |
| GridCube | hello charlie-tca :) | 20:49 |
| GridCube | i think i will upgrade my system to 11.04 | 21:04 |
| GridCube | but i really don't want to reconfigure things again :/ | 21:04 |
| GridCube | and i don't want to use firefox 4/5/6 | 21:05 |
| Sysi | why? :o | 21:06 |
| Sysi | FF 3.6 is slooowww | 21:06 |
| GridCube | i disagree | 21:06 |
| Sysi | have you compared it to anything besides IE 8? | 21:07 |
| GridCube | lol | 21:07 |
| GridCube | I havent used IE since like 00 | 21:07 |
| Sysi | (IE 9 is actually pretty good) | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | ff 4 seemed fine to me. This 6.0 in Oneiric is not quite right, but I can't put a finger on why | 21:10 |
| GridCube | (motion to move this to offtopic) | 21:17 |
