| garret | Has anyone had any success installing the NVIDIA drivers, I have not, after following as much on-line help as I have found. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| istok | i sorted my issue | 00:08 |
| gry | garret, do you have more details please, what hardware do you have, what problem is like | 00:08 |
| garret | gry: I have a Samsung QX410 laptop with the NVIDA 310M card. I can install ubuntu or xubuntu 11.10, but when I try to activate the proprietary NVIDA drivers I can not access the NVIDA server settings. When I try it tells me that I have to run NVIDIA-XCONFIG. When I do so out of an X-session, at boot the boot-up fails (stalls). I then have to go back into recovery and do a sudo apt-get purge nvidai* and rm the xorg files. | 00:14 |
| garret | I then reboot and get things back like after the install - no NVIDIA driver installed. | 00:14 |
| gry | I'll not be able to help personally but someone here could, just stick around | 00:15 |
| garret | gry: Also I have tried to do the things on the following pages, they did not help: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-install-nvidia-2750907-driver-in.html | 00:15 |
| garret | http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvidia-drivers-for-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html | 00:15 |
| garret | http://askubuntu.com/questions/68220/ubuntu-11-10-wont-boot-with-nvidia-driver-enabled | 00:15 |
| garret | gry: Thank you for the reply, hope all is well. | 00:16 |

| Bukowskii | any ideas as to why i keep loosing my wireless signal? | 04:33 |
| pTk | NetworkManger has a bug right now that I experienced last night upon installing | 05:04 |
| pTk | Bukowskii, you can install WICD and then uninstall network-manager | 05:04 |
| pTk | The problem is that network manager keeps trying to can for networks and drops the current connection | 05:05 |
| Bukowskii | ok ill try that thankyou | 05:06 |
| popsch | how good is WICD? I was thinking of using it instead of the network-manager. | 05:15 |
| pTk | It's good, simple and easy and worth it if you have the network manager bug | 05:37 |
| Bukowskii | alright pTk got WICD installed and working but is there anyway to have an icon on the panel for it? | 05:56 |
| pTk | it should use the same icon that network manager used | 05:56 |
| Bukowskii | hmmm it just says network manager not running | 05:57 |
| Saij | ANyone have any isnight into udevd '/sbin/modprobe' -bv issues on boot? | 06:21 |
| Saij | prior to these messages it will throw a ton of ata1 device was slow to respond messages | 06:21 |
| Bukowskii | alright pTk i figured it out, just had to restart | 06:49 |
| pTk | Bukowskii, glad you got it working | 07:41 |
| Bukowskii | its still dropping my signal even with wicd | 07:43 |
| pTk | did you remove network manager? | 07:44 |
| Bukowskii | yeah | 07:44 |
| Bukowskii | just the pkg called that no dependancies | 07:45 |

| baizon | is it possible to remove oneconf on xubuntu? | 09:43 |
| TheSheep | oneconf? | 09:48 |
| TheSheep | baizon: what is that? | 09:48 |
| baizon | yes | 09:49 |
| baizon | its a canonical feature | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | my xubuntu doesn't have it | 09:49 |
| baizon | synchronize your configuration data over the network | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | so I guess you can remove it | 09:49 |
| baizon | do you have xubuntu 11.10? | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | yes | 09:49 |
| baizon | hmm | 09:49 |
| baizon | well then i have to check it | 09:49 |
| baizon | http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/oneconf | 09:49 |
| baizon | thats what i mean | 09:50 |
| TheSheep | apt-cache policy oneconf | 09:50 |
| TheSheep | oneconf: Installed: (none) | 09:50 |
| baizon | hmm | 09:50 |
| baizon | the boot time is awful now :( | 09:51 |
| baizon | i cant remove it | 09:52 |
| baizon | then i have to remove software-center | 09:52 |
| TheSheep | who needs software-center :) | 09:53 |
| * TheSheep has removed all that | 09:53 | |
| baizon | hehehe | 09:53 |
| baizon | the software-center is nice :P | 09:53 |
| TheSheep | I liked gdebi more | 09:53 |
| baizon | im thinking to try out ubuntu again | 09:54 |
| baizon | unity looks stable now | 09:54 |
| baizon | and useable | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | usable | 09:54 |
| baizon | thank you | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | I need to do a tour over all the desktops again | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | hey changed quite a lot | 09:54 |
| baizon | recently i tested mint | 09:55 |
| TheSheep | who knows, maybe even kde will be usable? | 09:55 |
| baizon | hell no | 09:55 |
| baizon | tested it 1 month ago | 09:55 |
| baizon | still the same | 09:55 |
| TheSheep | I'm so addicetd to all the small details that xfce has | 09:55 |
| TheSheep | like the menu on right mouse click on the desktop | 09:56 |
| TheSheep | or the way it positions windows | 09:56 |
| TheSheep | that I can't switch to anything else | 09:56 |
| baizon | yeah | 09:56 |
| TheSheep | before xfce4 came out I was using windowmaker :) | 09:57 |
| baizon | i was using ubuntu | 09:58 |
| baizon | until gnome 3 / unity | 09:58 |
| baizon | then i tested all the other distros | 09:58 |
| baizon | arch is quite nice, but to much to configure | 09:58 |
| baizon | i like to install and use it | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | you are talking about distributions, I'm talking about desktop environments | 10:00 |
| baizon | hmm | 10:00 |
| baizon | yes i mean you got ... | 10:00 |
| baizon | xubuntu, kubuntu, etc. | 10:00 |
| baizon | they all got different de | 10:00 |
| TheSheep | what desktop environment does arch use by default? xfce too? | 10:01 |
| baizon | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119760 | 10:01 |
| baizon | thats what im missing in xfce | 10:01 |
| baizon | i hope they will include it in xfce 4.10 | 10:02 |
| TheSheep | my screen is to big to maximize any windows ever | 10:02 |
| TheSheep | maximizing windows is a misfeature | 10:02 |
| baizon | yes but you can do it with half display | 10:02 |
| TheSheep | still too big | 10:02 |
| baizon | check out the youtube video there | 10:02 |

| chickenbone | I need help installing official Nvidia Drivers! | 11:25 |
| TheSheep | go to system, select hardware drivers, select nvidia drivers, done | 11:25 |
| chickenbone | They are outdated drivers. I am trying to install the latest drivers from Nvidia's website | 11:26 |
| chickenbone | I have done the following: | 11:26 |
| chickenbone | Press ctrl-alt-F1, a text login screen will appear | 11:27 |
| chickenbone | * login as root | 11:27 |
| chickenbone | * type "init 3" to stop the X server | 11:27 |
| chickenbone | init 3 - doesen't seem to disable x-server | 11:27 |
| TheSheep | chickenbone: they are not outdated, these are the drivers that had been tested with ubuntu and confirmed that they work | 11:29 |
| TheSheep | chickenbone: the drivers from nvidia page were not tested | 11:29 |
| TheSheep | chickenbone: and are not supported | 11:30 |
| chickenbone | They don't currently work for my 450 card. thus I'm trying to go through nvidia | 11:30 |
| chickenbone | How can I disable x server on Xubuntu | 11:30 |
| TheSheep | sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop | 11:31 |
| chickenbone | thank you. tryiing it noe | 11:32 |
| mongy | Is there a way to change the font/size of the notifications? They are a lot bigger than the rest of my UI | 11:49 |
| TheSheep | mongy: you can create your own notification theme | 11:50 |
| TheSheep | mongy: they just use the standard gtk theme syntax | 11:51 |
| mongy | do you know where they are? | 11:53 |
| TheSheep | in /usr/share/themes and in your ~/.themes | 11:55 |
| TheSheep | for example /usr/share/themes/greybird/xfce-notify-4.0/gtkrc | 11:55 |

| popsch | does one today still need cpufreqd or does the kernel already do all that stuff? | 17:30 |
| GridCube | dunno what that is | 17:30 |
| popsch | cpu frequency scaling for laptops to conserve power | 17:32 |
| hobgoblin | popsch: I believe it does it | 17:36 |
| hobgoblin | I was having a look the other day = http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1777887 | 17:37 |
| popsch | hobgoblin, my question is whether it is still necessary, or whether the kernel already does it automatically | 17:41 |
| popsch | (by 'it', I mean adjusting the frequency and thus conserving energy) | 17:42 |
| hobgoblin | popsch: pretty sure it does it - mine is set to ondemand - I didn't do anything | 17:55 |
| hobgoblin | popsch: in fact - for a short period I had one of the applets on the panel - it was ondemand until it needed otherwise | 17:56 |

| Gremuchnik | hi! on my login menu I have a choice of a "XFCE session" and a "Xubuntu session". What is the difference? | 18:31 |
| === xGrind is now known as Linus_Torvalds | ||
| knome | Gremuchnik, you should use the Xubuntu session, so all services will start up. | 18:31 |
| === Linus_Torvalds is now known as Bill_Gates | ||
| lrussell | will xubuntu run on a powerpc 233mhz 6gh hd imac g3? All I ask | 18:31 |
| === Bill_Gates is now known as xGrind | ||
| lrussell | for everyday use that is | 18:31 |
| Gremuchnik | knome, thanks | 18:32 |
| knome | Gremuchnik, the Xfce session might work too, but you won't have the same theme stuff etc. | 18:32 |
| Gremuchnik | ok | 18:32 |
| === xGrind is now known as xGrind-oFF | ||
| Gremuchnik | also, is it possible to run gnome-shell from inside a Xubuntu session? I want to play around with it, but logging out just for that purpose if a pain. Any ideas whether I can just safely launch 'gnome-shell' from the CLI an then return to Xubuntu when I am done (by a killall gnome-shell I suppose) | 18:33 |
| === xGrind-oFF is now known as xGrind | ||
| knome | Gremuchnik, i wouldn't suggest doing that really. | 18:35 |
| Gremuchnik | knome, why is it risky? | 18:35 |
| knome | Gremuchnik, i don't know if there are risks, but i wouldn't do that | 18:36 |
| knome | Gremuchnik, it might mess up things | 18:36 |
| GridCube | why would yuo want to use gnome stuff with xfce? | 18:37 |
| Gremuchnik | GridCube, just because Xubuntu if main favorite environment, but I want to play around with G3 | 18:37 |
| Gremuchnik | I don't have any real deep need for it :-) | 18:38 |
| Gremuchnik | anyway, login logout its gonna be | 18:38 |
| Gremuchnik | thanks for the pointers guys | 18:38 |
| knome | yeah, that's safest | 18:38 |
| Gremuchnik | k | 18:39 |
| GridCube | you should start a gnome sessioon then :P | 18:39 |
| Gremuchnik | have you guys tried G3? | 18:39 |
| Gremuchnik | Gremuchnik, yup | 18:39 |
| Gremuchnik | I totally hated Unity, but I have some hopes that G3 might be saner... | 18:39 |
