[00:13] yes they do [00:13] but i like to ask here first [00:13] snort is an ids [00:43] 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-* [00:44] I've tried a bunch of things using apt-get but I still only have command line functionality at boot (no desktop) [00:45] plz help [00:57] I need help getting wifi configured on a laptop. [00:57] I need help getting wifi configured on a laptop. [00:58] !mac [00:58] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [01:01] pointydrip: if you had nvidia proprietary drivers installed, you should either rename or remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:05] It's not there... [01:05] xorg.conf.backup [01:17] charlie-tca: I install from .run that I had downloaded a while back, much more noobie frienldy than using apt [01:18] I see. The problem with that is now you can't remove it easily, and are having problems. [01:18] Apparently the removal is not quite as "noobie friendly" as the installation, huh? [01:18] charlie-tca: nope [01:19] I have no idea how to remove the files, either [01:19] charlie-tca: I do its apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* [01:19] charlie-tca: but it removes everything [01:20] If that will remove whatever the .run file installed, yes [01:26] charlie-tca:have you installed the nvidia-dev? [01:26] I don't install what is not in the repositories, and if you used a .run file, it won't be the same. [01:28] charlie-tca: cool, well at least I know how to undo any damage I will most likely end up doing [17:09] 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? [17:10] 10.10 [17:10] teddy1: i would suggest opening synaptic, and searching in there [17:10] you can force older versions or whatever [17:11] if you added a PPA, you might want to purge it [17:12] I tried that. I purged all ppa regarding compiz. Now I can't reinstall it anmyore, because it wrties error: can't download [17:13] what I need is good 0.8.6 ppa and just reinstall. It sounds so easy [17:13] i would double check the purge method... i would look at my sources [17:13] i would make sure i run sudo apt-get update, or hit a refresh button [17:14] teddy1: im suggesting *not* using a PPA actually [17:14] just reverting back to the default one [17:14] I deleted ppa from my sources [17:14] what else can I use for reinstall'? [17:14] teddy1: thats not enough [17:14] you need to purge it [17:15] you can use literally any package manager [17:15] but i suspect you have some dependencies causing issues [17:15] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/ppa-purge-added-to-official-ubuntu-1010.html [17:16] maybe you should re-anable the PPA, and trouble shoot the issues... [17:17] thansk for the hint!! I'll give it a try [17:41] So i purged launchpad ppa for compiz but is till getting 0.9.2 version at reinstall. What's wrong? [17:42] did you refresh? or run sudo apt-get update? [17:44] Yes I did, no change in compiz [17:45] whats the problem? [17:46] i would try and get back to as default as possible, and look at whats going on with compiz [17:46] you could have a graphics driver issue that is effecting compiz [17:49] you used something like http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/install-compiz-0921-in-ubuntu-1010.html teddy1 ? [17:50] yes I did use this and some more when it was not working [17:50] right.. its the 'some more' im concered about [17:50] you'll need to undo everything youve done properly [17:50] or, troubleshoot compiz [17:50] Oh I see, there amore ppa:) [17:50] so messy [17:51] yeah, *dont* add that ppa [17:52] i was more asking if that was the PPA you used [17:52] if you added multiple PPA's, you'll need to purge them too [17:53] Yes, that is gonna take a while. I think I added three, purge it all [18:05] Well I deleted all (hopefuly) but now I can't reinstall compiz because "failed to download" [18:18] teddy1: you can give me the entire error [18:18] ? [18:22] holstein, care to weigh in on a hack I'm scheming on? [18:23] sure [18:24] wilsud [18:35] hack is in three parts... one: http://www.memorydepot.com/ssd/listcat.asp?catid=edc400044 [18:35] two: http://www.cablesonline.com/44pinmalidc2.html --- three: http://www.cablesonline.com/44pinfemidcr.html [18:35] as a cheap SSD that is actually an SSD... I've had it with the CF hacks [18:36] for ye olde thinkpads [18:50] kristian-aalborg: sorry... i got busy and i need to run :/ [18:50] next time :) [18:51] np [18:51] if anyone wants to comment on this HW, feel free to do so === yofel_ is now known as yofel === semitones_ is now known as semitones [23:55] can someone tell me how to fixgrub? im at a prompt that says grub rescue> [23:57] holstein: [23:58] bioterror:
