[00:00] Has anyone had any success installing the NVIDIA drivers, I have not, after following as much on-line help as I have found. [00:08] i sorted my issue [00:08] garret, do you have more details please, what hardware do you have, what problem is like [00:14] 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] I then reboot and get things back like after the install - no NVIDIA driver installed. [00:15] I'll not be able to help personally but someone here could, just stick around [00:15] 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] http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvidia-drivers-for-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html [00:15] http://askubuntu.com/questions/68220/ubuntu-11-10-wont-boot-with-nvidia-driver-enabled [00:16] gry: Thank you for the reply, hope all is well.

[01:40] hmm [01:40] what seems to be the problem? [01:42] When I install nvidia-current it will install but does not run. I then run navidia-xconfig and when I reboot the boot up hangs [01:42] ,stalls [01:42] hmm that's sad [01:42] what does the syslog say`? [01:42] try to google the errormessage you find [01:43] I then have to sudo apt-get purge nivida* and then rm the xconfig file. [01:43] hrmpf [01:43] have to go to bed [01:43] it's already 2:43 AM gere [01:44] try to google errormessages [01:44] i'm sure you aren't the only one with that problem [01:44] Thermi thank you good night [01:44] if nothing helps, try older versions [01:44] ty, you too ;) [01:45] Also, I have had no luck finding help on the web for the nvidia issue [02:36] Sound stopped working.

I was thinking of using it instead of the network-manager. [05:37] It's good, simple and easy and worth it if you have the network manager bug [05:56] alright pTk got WICD installed and working but is there anyway to have an icon on the panel for it?

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) === xGrind-oFF is now known as xGrind [18:35] Gremuchnik, i wouldn't suggest doing that really. [18:35] knome, why is it risky? [18:36] Gremuchnik, i don't know if there are risks, but i wouldn't do that [18:36] Gremuchnik, it might mess up things [18:37] why would yuo want to use gnome stuff with xfce? [18:37] GridCube, just because Xubuntu if main favorite environment, but I want to play around with G3 [18:38] I don't have any real deep need for it :-) [18:38] anyway, login logout its gonna be [18:38] thanks for the pointers guys [18:38] yeah, that's safest [18:39] k [18:39] you should start a gnome sessioon then :P [18:39] have you guys tried G3?
