| pointydrip | Hello, I'm trying to install opencl and nvidia-dev drivers for a program. I was following a guide and I entered sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* | 00:43 |
| pointydrip | I've tried a bunch of things using apt-get but I still only have command line functionality at boot (no desktop) | 00:44 |
| pointydrip | plz help | 00:45 |

| charlie-tca | pointydrip: if you had nvidia proprietary drivers installed, you should either rename or remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:01 |
| pointydrip | It's not there... | 01:05 |
| pointydrip | xorg.conf.backup | 01:05 |
| pointydrip | charlie-tca: I install from .run that I had downloaded a while back, much more noobie frienldy than using apt | 01:17 |
| charlie-tca | I see. The problem with that is now you can't remove it easily, and are having problems. | 01:18 |
| charlie-tca | Apparently the removal is not quite as "noobie friendly" as the installation, huh? | 01:18 |
| pointydrip | charlie-tca: nope | 01:18 |
| charlie-tca | I have no idea how to remove the files, either | 01:19 |
| pointydrip | charlie-tca: I do its apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* | 01:19 |
| pointydrip | charlie-tca: but it removes everything | 01:19 |
| charlie-tca | If that will remove whatever the .run file installed, yes | 01:20 |
| pointydrip | charlie-tca:have you installed the nvidia-dev? | 01:26 |
| charlie-tca | I don't install what is not in the repositories, and if you used a .run file, it won't be the same. | 01:26 |
| pointydrip | charlie-tca: cool, well at least I know how to undo any damage I will most likely end up doing | 01:28 |
| teddy1 | hello world! A question: I have updated compiz to 0.9.2, but it works in a very strange way. Firstly, no window borders etc, I managed this (by upgrading from 0.9.0 to 0.9.2) but now there are no effects working and ccsm does not open anymore, so I removed it. Is there a way to reinstall whole compiz to version 0.8.6, which worked fine? | 17:09 |
| teddy1 | 10.10 | 17:10 |
| holstein | teddy1: i would suggest opening synaptic, and searching in there | 17:10 |
| holstein | you can force older versions or whatever | 17:10 |
| holstein | if you added a PPA, you might want to purge it | 17:11 |
| teddy1 | I tried that. I purged all ppa regarding compiz. Now I can't reinstall it anmyore, because it wrties error: can't download | 17:12 |
| teddy1 | what I need is good 0.8.6 ppa and just reinstall. It sounds so easy | 17:13 |
| holstein | i would double check the purge method... i would look at my sources | 17:13 |
| holstein | i would make sure i run sudo apt-get update, or hit a refresh button | 17:13 |
| holstein | teddy1: im suggesting *not* using a PPA actually | 17:14 |
| holstein | just reverting back to the default one | 17:14 |
| teddy1 | I deleted ppa from my sources | 17:14 |
| teddy1 | what else can I use for reinstall'? | 17:14 |
| holstein | teddy1: thats not enough | 17:14 |
| holstein | you need to purge it | 17:14 |
| holstein | you can use literally any package manager | 17:15 |
| holstein | but i suspect you have some dependencies causing issues | 17:15 |
| holstein | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/ppa-purge-added-to-official-ubuntu-1010.html | 17:15 |
| holstein | maybe you should re-anable the PPA, and trouble shoot the issues... | 17:16 |
| teddy1 | thansk for the hint!! I'll give it a try | 17:17 |
| teddy1 | So i purged launchpad ppa for compiz but is till getting 0.9.2 version at reinstall. What's wrong? | 17:41 |
| holstein | did you refresh? or run sudo apt-get update? | 17:42 |
| teddy1 | Yes I did, no change in compiz | 17:44 |
| holstein | whats the problem? | 17:45 |
| holstein | i would try and get back to as default as possible, and look at whats going on with compiz | 17:46 |
| holstein | you could have a graphics driver issue that is effecting compiz | 17:46 |
| holstein | you used something like http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/install-compiz-0921-in-ubuntu-1010.html teddy1 ? | 17:49 |
| teddy1 | yes I did use this and some more when it was not working | 17:50 |
| holstein | right.. its the 'some more' im concered about | 17:50 |
| holstein | you'll need to undo everything youve done properly | 17:50 |
| holstein | or, troubleshoot compiz | 17:50 |
| teddy1 | Oh I see, there amore ppa:) | 17:50 |
| teddy1 | so messy | 17:50 |
| holstein | yeah, *dont* add that ppa | 17:51 |
| holstein | i was more asking if that was the PPA you used | 17:52 |
| holstein | if you added multiple PPA's, you'll need to purge them too | 17:52 |
| teddy1 | Yes, that is gonna take a while. I think I added three, purge it all | 17:53 |
| teddy1 | Well I deleted all (hopefuly) but now I can't reinstall compiz because "failed to download" | 18:05 |
| holstein | teddy1: you can give me the entire error | 18:18 |
| holstein | ? | 18:18 |
