| ForSpareParts | anyone here? | 02:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ForSpareParts | I could use some help with resizing the screen... | 02:00 |
| philipballew | hey! | 02:00 |
| ForSpareParts | Oh, hi again! | 02:01 |
| philipballew | theres an app called monitors i think | 02:01 |
| ForSpareParts | The reinstall of the drivers did work | 02:01 |
| philipballew | thats how ive seen it done | 02:01 |
| philipballew | i think | 02:01 |
| ForSpareParts | the built in app? | 02:01 |
| philipballew | yeah. | 02:01 |
| ForSpareParts | it didn't have that option... | 02:01 |
| philipballew | let me do it to my laptop and see what i use | 02:02 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: you can put a custom xorg.conf in place | 02:02 |
| philipballew | yeah, in monitors i change my resolution | 02:02 |
| philipballew | +1 to holstein for the geek points | 02:02 |
| philipballew | score phil 0 holstein 6000 | 02:03 |
| holstein | i usually try a knoppix live CD, as well as other live CD's, and grab the xorg.conf and slightly edit it | 02:03 |
| ForSpareParts | it's not the resolution, though? like, stuff's just off the screen | 02:03 |
| holstein | philipballew: if i built it from scratch :) | 02:03 |
| ForSpareParts | no matter which resolution i pick | 02:03 |
| philipballew | what stuff is to big or small? | 02:03 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: i think thats something you can address with an xorg.conf | 02:04 |
| ForSpareParts | ok | 02:04 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: what nvidia card is it ? ;) | 02:04 |
| ForSpareParts | it's not an nvidia card | 02:04 |
| ForSpareParts | <braces for hate> | 02:04 |
| holstein | thats cool | 02:04 |
| holstein | i have a via chip thats a pain | 02:04 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: what is it? | 02:04 |
| ForSpareParts | radeon hd 6870? | 02:04 |
| ForSpareParts | 68 something | 02:04 |
| holstein | too bad... ati is usually pretty good out of the box with the open drivers | 02:05 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: i would try the proprietary driver | 02:05 |
| ForSpareParts | I already am... | 02:05 |
| holstein | then, i would try building an xorg.conf | 02:05 |
| ForSpareParts | the regular driver was totally screwed up | 02:05 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: sometimes support is sketchy | 02:06 |
| ForSpareParts | is there a good guide to xorg.conf? | 02:06 |
| holstein | did it ever work? with any linux? | 02:06 |
| holstein | ForSpareParts: im sure there is, but i learn a lot from what knoppix does for me | 02:06 |
| holstein | the knoppix live CD works well out of the box usually | 02:06 |
| holstein | seems to cover more hardware | 02:06 |
| ForSpareParts | ok | 02:08 |
| ForSpareParts | is it at usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d? | 02:11 |
| holstein | well, it *shouldnt* be anywhere in ubuntu now | 02:12 |
| holstein | usually in /etc/x11 | 02:14 |
| CEK | How do you configure keyboard layout using gconf-tools-2 ? I need a script for set it... can anyone help me? | 03:59 |

| Merkinmaker | logging off does that | 05:30 |
| Merkinmaker | so log off, log out | 05:30 |
| Merkinmaker | modprobe -r video | 05:30 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Wait | 05:30 |
| CrOnOs2000 | When you do that try install again | 05:31 |
| Merkinmaker | yessir | 05:31 |
| Merkinmaker | so, log off...modprobe -r video | 05:31 |
| CrOnOs2000 | If do nit work use modprobe video to run module again and atart x | 05:31 |
| Merkinmaker | then sh NVtab | 05:32 |
| Merkinmaker | if it doesnt work...modprobe -r video again | 05:32 |
| Merkinmaker | sound good? | 05:32 |
| Merkinmaker | dont forget to startx | 05:32 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Modprobe -r video removes modprobe video runs modulw | 05:32 |
| Merkinmaker | like module probe remove video? | 05:33 |
| Merkinmaker | in english | 05:33 |

| Merkinmaker | Module in use...while logged out? | 05:43 |
| Merkinmaker | maybe if i restart, and dont load the module...then try that/those? | 05:43 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Shut down x go to runlvl 3 | 05:44 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Init 3 | 05:44 |
| Merkinmaker | whats that? | 05:44 |
| Merkinmaker | different hypervisor? | 05:44 |
| Merkinmaker | or kernel level? | 05:44 |
| CrOnOs2000 | init 3 will take to console and x server will shutdown | 05:45 |
| bioterror | sudo init 3 | 05:45 |
| CrOnOs2000 | If you finish your x sesion x still runs | 05:45 |
| Merkinmaker | http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/backtrack-5-beginners-section/41664-removing-nouveau-driver-nvida-cuda-installation.html | 05:45 |
| Merkinmaker | read bwanas post | 05:45 |
| bioterror | CrOnOs2000, or he can stop gdm or kdm or what ever he is using | 05:46 |
| bioterror | that works too | 05:46 |
| CrOnOs2000 | init 5 graphical | 05:46 |
| bioterror | but playing with init is just more logical as it's not tied with the software he is using | 05:46 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Lol i have no tab key merkin that web may help you too | 05:48 |
| Merkinmaker | check out 12ud124's post a bit further down | 05:49 |
| Merkinmaker | silly tablets...and their honecomb | 05:50 |
| Merkinmaker | somehow...this is harder than rooting a droid2 from the android terminal? | 05:51 |
| coalwater | i have a small problem with install ufw on a vps, i looked around the forums and such, they all said update, but i don't get update what exactly.. | 05:51 |
| Merkinmaker | well, thanks for your time CrOnOs2000, but i have to hit the hay | 05:53 |
| Merkinmaker | perhaps another day | 05:53 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Cya | 05:53 |
| Merkinmaker | im going to check out my laptop install, and see if that has gone any smoother | 05:54 |
| Merkinmaker | it makes more sense to have BT on a laptop anyway | 05:54 |
| CrOnOs2000 | Well im out 1am here | 05:57 |
| tdn | I have just attached a USB mouse, however, it does not seem to work: The cursor does not move when the mouse has been inserted. The touchpad works. The mouse works fine in other computers though. How do I fix this? | 06:29 |
| tdn | This is what is written in dmesg when inserting the mouse: http://paste.adora.dk/P2142.txt | 06:30 |
| coalwater | any body here to help me fix ufw on a vpn | 07:43 |
| coalwater | vps* | 07:43 |
| coalwater | guess not :D lol | 08:10 |
| philipballew | out of my leage :) | 08:10 |
| coalwater | well, i've done lil testing | 08:11 |
| coalwater | apparently my ufw is blocking outgoing traffic too | 08:11 |
| philipballew | why is it doing that? | 08:14 |
| coalwater | that's what i would like to know | 08:14 |
| coalwater | though i set the default to allow | 08:14 |
| coalwater | default outgoing allow | 08:14 |
| philipballew | your router has problems maybe? | 08:17 |
| coalwater | it's a vps | 08:20 |
| coalwater | i can't even do an apt-get install without disabling ufw | 08:20 |
| bioterror | bad configuration | 08:20 |
| coalwater | how | 08:21 |
| coalwater | what part | 08:21 |
| bioterror | share your configuration | 08:21 |
| coalwater | o and i get an error in ufw-init | 08:21 |
| bioterror | might tell us something | 08:21 |
| philipballew | what distro? | 08:21 |
| coalwater | i compared it with my home pc it's the same exactly | 08:22 |
| coalwater | which file do u want exactly | 08:22 |
| bioterror | rules | 08:23 |
| coalwater | only 1 rule | 08:23 |
| coalwater | allow 22 | 08:23 |
| coalwater | for ssh | 08:23 |
| bioterror | maybe you should allow 80 or 21 too | 08:23 |
| bioterror | depends are you using ftp or http for apt-get | 08:23 |
| coalwater | http | 08:24 |
| bioterror | I dunno why I've always preferred ftp, but that's becouse it's the file transfer protocol, for transfering files | 08:27 |
| coalwater | the allow and deny thing is for incoming ports right | 08:28 |
| coalwater | but ok i'll open outgoing 80 | 08:28 |
| bioterror | try it | 08:28 |
| bioterror | I've mostly used packet filter ;) | 08:28 |
| coalwater | nope, still can't connect | 08:32 |
| bioterror | restarted ufw? | 08:33 |
| coalwater | yea , but i get this annoying msg | 08:33 |
| coalwater | error in ufw-init | 08:33 |
| coalwater | searched for it in google but nothing useful | 08:34 |
| bioterror | does it say anything else? | 08:34 |
| coalwater | apparently it still gets started | 08:34 |
| coalwater | but that msg concerns me | 08:34 |
| coalwater | feel it's what's wrong | 08:34 |
| bioterror | do you have somekind of config file? | 08:34 |
| coalwater | not other than the default /etc/default/ufw | 08:35 |
| coalwater | and the rules files | 08:35 |
| bioterror | have you edited the /etc/default/ufw? | 08:36 |
| coalwater | no | 08:36 |
| coalwater | i just do 2 commands | 08:36 |
| coalwater | default outgoing allow, default incoming deny | 08:37 |
| golgotha | Ok new to linux I'm on the beginners page website anyone else know where to find good tutorials | 09:04 |
| bioterror | !beginner | 09:05 |
