| Kilos | afternoon everyone | 10:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Kilos | lurkers as well | 10:36 |
| hibana | hello world | 10:44 |
| Kilos | oh my goodness | 10:44 |
| Kilos | hows hibana | 10:44 |
| * hibana struggling without a gui again | 10:44 | |
| Kilos | what happened | 10:44 |
| hibana | kernel updates including nvidia stuffs broke it all | 10:45 |
| Kilos | eish | 10:45 |
| hibana | now I can't even install the new drivers | 10:45 |
| Kilos | wow | 10:45 |
| hibana | and I even wasted my bandwidth by downloading the latest oneiric iso | 10:46 |
| Kilos | i use the default graphics drivers. had too many bad experiences with nvidia and ati drivers after updating | 10:46 |
| hibana | after writing the iso to usb and booting up it hangs at some stage | 10:46 |
| Kilos | eish | 10:47 |
| hibana | now I'm back to try make it work in maverick | 10:47 |
| Kilos | eina. thats why i am still on maverick as well | 10:48 |
| Kilos | maverick was a good release | 10:48 |
| * hibana just wish I could use copy and paste on the cli | 10:48 | |
| Kilos | lol | 10:48 |
| hibana | then again I think I can | 10:48 |
| hibana | ahhh... I just use screen and then I can copy and paste | 10:52 |
| * hibana busy struggling with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10 | 10:52 | |
| Kilos | olg graphics card? | 10:53 |
| Kilos | old too | 10:53 |
| hibana | how can I install linux-restricted-modules? | 10:54 |
| Kilos | on cli? | 10:54 |
| hibana | linux-restricted-modules is nowhere to be found in the repos | 10:54 |
| Kilos | on maverick? | 10:54 |
| hibana | the NVIDIA driver requires that | 10:55 |
| hibana | Kilos: yep on maverick | 10:55 |
| Kilos | im checking synaptic | 10:55 |
| hibana | when I run the nvidia installer I get to a point where it says "The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!" | 10:57 |
| Kilos | dont see it in synaptic | 10:57 |
| Kilos | what does aptitude say | 10:57 |
| hibana | Kilos: nope, it's not there | 10:58 |
| Kilos | eish | 10:58 |
| nlsthzn | Hi ZA | 10:59 |
| Kilos | Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-restricted-modules" | 10:59 |
| Kilos | cant be in the repos | 10:59 |
| Kilos | hiya nlsthzn | 10:59 |
| Kilos | how do you install linux-restricted-modules | 11:00 |
| tumbleweed | hibana: don't run the nvidia installer, install the nvidia drivers through your package manager | 11:00 |
| Kilos | not in repos | 11:00 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: hmm.. I read that somewhere before | 11:00 |
| hibana | how do I know what to install | 11:00 |
| hibana | I had it running perfectly before the upgrade | 11:01 |
| hibana | and still have some nvidia packages installed | 11:01 |
| tumbleweed | hibana: generally speaking, installing things from the Ubuntu repositories is safe (otherwise the packages wouldn't be in Ubuntu) | 11:01 |
| tumbleweed | but installing random stuff you download off the internet. Well, who knows what that'll do | 11:01 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: I tend to agree with that | 11:02 |
| tumbleweed | uninstalling the nvidia drivers that nvidia provide is nigh impossible, they aren't designed to ever be uninstalled | 11:02 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: so where do I start? I have not yet installed the NVIDIA version | 11:03 |
| Kilos | hibana, what if you purge and use nouveau drivers | 11:03 |
| tumbleweed | hibana: install the nvidia-current package (if you need nvidia proprietory drivers) | 11:04 |
| Kilos | hiya tumbleweed you been through this before looks like | 11:04 |
| tumbleweed | Kilos: yeah, it crops up every now and then | 11:05 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: it is and was installed | 11:05 |
| Kilos | hehe | 11:05 |
| tumbleweed | hibana: and it's not working? | 11:06 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: should I try purging all nvidia packages? | 11:06 |
| hibana | how do I list installed packages without the description? | 11:07 |
| hibana | with aptitude | 11:07 |
| hibana | can I use pastebin on the cli? | 11:09 |
| Kilos | eish | 11:10 |
| hibana | hmm... lunchtime | 11:12 |
| * hibana wbb | 11:12 | |
| Kilos | enjoy | 11:13 |
| Kilos | you can browse hey? | 11:13 |
| * hibana is back | 11:27 | |
| Kilos | wow that was quick | 11:27 |
| Kilos | can you browse hibana | 11:27 |
| hibana | Kilos: I don't want to waste your time :-) | 11:27 |
| Kilos | i asked maaz to google | 11:27 |
| Kilos | lol thats all i got is time | 11:27 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: is there no pastebin app for the cli? | 11:28 |
| Kilos | got 2 links might help you | 11:28 |
| hibana | Kilos: I can browse with elinks | 11:29 |
| hibana | or links | 11:29 |
| hibana | or any of the other textmode browsers | 11:29 |
| Kilos | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-edgy-upgrade-common-problems-with-solutions.html | 11:30 |
| hibana | yikes, that's long | 11:30 |
| Kilos | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html | 11:30 |
| Kilos | i dunno how to shorten them | 11:31 |
| tumbleweed | hibana: pastebinit | 11:31 |
| Kilos | they are old releases though | 11:31 |
| hibana | Kilos: no worriess | 11:31 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: great, thanks | 11:32 |
| tumbleweed | hibana: deleting your xorg.conf should switch you back to nouveau and you should be able to have a working GUI | 11:33 |
| tumbleweed | (err, unless the nvidia driver is still getting loadded early in boot. I never remember how this all works, and don't have any ubuntu machines here with nvidia) | 11:34 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: http://pastebin.com/XMAbUmzc | 11:34 |
| hibana | those are all my installed nvidia stuffs | 11:35 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: let me try removing xorg and rebooting... I doubt that it will work... but I can try | 11:36 |
| hibana | but before I go there | 11:36 |
| hibana | let me give you my output of lspci | 11:36 |
| hibana | http://pastebin.com/LthXF5U3 | 11:37 |
| * hibana <3 pastebinit | 11:37 | |
| * hibana wbb | 11:38 | |
| tumbleweed | hibana: check for anything blacklisting nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d | 11:38 |
| hibana | hmm... just got that... hang on | 11:39 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: http://pastebin.com/6fpv0bQY | 11:41 |
| hibana | tumbleweed: I guess those should not be blacklisted for now? | 11:41 |
| tumbleweed | if you want nouveau, then yes | 11:42 |
| tumbleweed | and blacklist nvidia instead | 11:42 |
| hibana | ahh... but let me try without xorg.conf first | 11:43 |
| * hibana wbb | 11:43 | |
| * hibana just started irssi in a screen session on some remote system | 11:47 | |
| * hibana wbb | 11:47 | |
| inetpro | ok I'm back in the GUI but had to use nomodeset | 11:52 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: ^^ | 11:52 |
| tumbleweed | that presumably makes you happier :) | 11:54 |
| inetpro | damn... | 11:54 |
| inetpro | but now how the heck do I get the driver running properly | 11:55 |
| tumbleweed | what release are you on? what happened? | 11:55 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: maverick | 11:55 |
| tumbleweed | so, presumably it was the linux security update 5 days ago that broke your setup? | 11:57 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: very possible | 11:57 |
| inetpro | to be honest it all started yesterday evening when I switched my laptop on (after hybernating the previous evening) | 11:59 |
| tumbleweed | oh, I thought you said you'd just installed updates? | 11:59 |
| inetpro | suddenly my wireless network was dead | 11:59 |
| inetpro | so I plugged in the network cable and did a update | 12:00 |
| inetpro | then the update installed the latest kernel and a long list of other stuffs | 12:00 |
| inetpro | my previous updates were on the 17th according to my logs | 12:01 |
| inetpro | what is strange is that I've been working on this thing every day since then | 12:02 |
| tumbleweed | I can't see anyone else complaining about similar issues | 12:02 |
| inetpro | cat /var/log/dpkg.log | pastebinit -i - # http://pastebin.com/CKY8LF77 | 12:04 |
| tumbleweed | nvidia-current 285.05.09-0ubuntu1~maverick~xup1 | 12:05 |
| tumbleweed | that's not a version in the official repositories | 12:05 |
| tumbleweed | are you using some crazy PPA? | 12:06 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: hmm... | 12:06 |
| inetpro | let me see | 12:06 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: grep -ih ppa /etc/apt/*/* | egrep -v "^#|^deb-src" | pastebinit -i - # http://pastebin.com/mJjyep53 | 12:10 |
| inetpro | those are all the ppa's that I use | 12:10 |
| tumbleweed | ubuntu-x-swat <- just as I thought | 12:10 |
| inetpro | not sure where I got ubuntu-x-swat from | 12:10 |
| tumbleweed | there's a package called ppa-purge that can help clean that sort of thing up | 12:11 |
| tumbleweed | when yo uare getting something as core as a graphics driver from a PPA, expect occasional breakage | 12:12 |
| tumbleweed | kernel updates have massive QA doen before they ship | 12:12 |
| tumbleweed | but nobody 's going to check them against drivers in PPAs | 12:12 |
| inetpro | yikes | 12:13 |
| inetpro | obviously | 12:13 |
| * inetpro running ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 12:18 | |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: thanks for the help so far | 12:19 |
| inetpro | ok, I guess this calls for a renoot? | 12:21 |
| inetpro | reboot* | 12:21 |
| Kilos | lol | 12:21 |
| inetpro | Eish! | 12:23 |
| Kilos | what now | 12:23 |
| inetpro | Inetpro on mobile | 12:23 |
| Kilos | oh my | 12:24 |
| inetpro | Screen still with big white blocks as before | 12:24 |
| Kilos | eina | 12:25 |
| inetpro | Need to start with nomodeset | 12:27 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: you may need to rebuild your initrd | 12:28 |
| inetpro | ok... back online with yucky resolution | 12:28 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: how? | 12:29 |
| tumbleweed | did you reverse the blacklistings yet? | 12:29 |
| inetpro | no | 12:29 |
| tumbleweed | first do that | 12:30 |
| tumbleweed | then run update-initramfs -u | 12:30 |
| inetpro | hmm... hang on | 12:31 |
| inetpro | in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf I have the following | 12:31 |
| inetpro | blacklist nouveau | 12:31 |
| inetpro | blacklist lbm-nouveau | 12:31 |
| inetpro | blacklist nvidia-173 | 12:31 |
| inetpro | blacklist nvidia-96 | 12:31 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: what do you suggest I do? | 12:32 |
| tumbleweed | sounds good | 12:32 |
| inetpro | should I run update-initramfs -u ? | 12:33 |
| tumbleweed | err, maybe you want to unblacklist the nvidia-* ones first | 12:33 |
| inetpro | ahh.. I thought so | 12:33 |
| inetpro | ok, hang on | 12:33 |
| inetpro | Rebooting | 12:34 |
| inetpro | Eish! No... | 12:35 |
| inetpro | Same thing | 12:35 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: next step? | 12:38 |
| * inetpro reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 12:42 | |
| inetpro | again | 12:43 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: dmesg output, please | 12:48 |
| inetpro | # dmesg | pastebinit -i - # http://pastebin.com/JCAG0HuF | 12:49 |
| tumbleweed | the nvidia driver never loaded | 12:50 |
| tumbleweed | does modprobe nvidia load it? | 12:51 |
| tumbleweed | you have a very noisy wireless card :P | 12:51 |
| tumbleweed | oh, sorry, nouveau loaded | 12:51 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: true | 12:51 |
| tumbleweed | I thought you blacklisted it? | 12:51 |
| inetpro | hmm... I have | 12:51 |
| tumbleweed | and then regenerated the initramfs, right? | 12:52 |
| tumbleweed | it loaded during initramfs execution | 12:52 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: nope, have not done that | 12:53 |
| inetpro | hang on | 12:53 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: guess I should reboot again? | 12:54 |
| tumbleweed | yes | 12:54 |
| inetpro | no, same thing | 12:57 |
| inetpro | # dmesg | pastebinit -i - # http://pastebin.com/J9ic0Vr0 | 12:58 |
| inetpro | # cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc.conf | 13:01 |
| inetpro | alias char-major-195* nvidia | 13:01 |
| inetpro | options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=44 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660 | 13:02 |
| inetpro | # cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf | 13:02 |
| inetpro | blacklist nouveau | 13:02 |
| inetpro | blacklist lbm-nouveau | 13:02 |
| inetpro | #blacklist nvidia-173 | 13:02 |
| inetpro | #blacklist nvidia-96 | 13:02 |
| tumbleweed | what was the output when you regenerated teh initramfs? | 13:03 |
| tumbleweed | (do it again) | 13:03 |
| inetpro | # update-initramfs -u | 13:03 |
| inetpro | update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-31-generic | 13:03 |
| inetpro | taht's it | 13:03 |
| tumbleweed | hrm, seems right | 13:04 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: you wanna see the verbose output ? | 13:05 |
| tumbleweed | sure | 13:05 |
| inetpro | http://pastebin.com/JbfE0qqS | 13:05 |
| tumbleweed | clearly I'm missing something, but I can't see what | 13:08 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: if we can fix this in the standard ubuntu I'm sure we will have a lot of other happy customers | 13:10 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: it's not a problem in standard ubuntu | 13:11 |
| inetpro | I tried the latest version of ubuntu | 13:11 |
| inetpro | it does the same thing | 13:11 |
| inetpro | I can start with a clean install if you want | 13:11 |
| tumbleweed | and then enabled a ppa with the lastest X crack | 13:11 |
| tumbleweed | I'm sure the solution to the problem in front of you right now is simple, but I'm afraid that I can't see it | 13:12 |
| tumbleweed | maybe a clean install is your easiest way out | 13:13 |
| inetpro | I have Ubuntu Oneiric with me on another usb disk | 13:13 |
| inetpro | sadly my kubuntu one doesn't work | 13:13 |
| inetpro | ok, let me get that going | 13:13 |
| inetpro | I'll be back after installing quassel-client | 13:14 |
| inetpro | time for me to play with unity | 13:14 |
| inetpro | I'll call missionX | 13:17 |
| inetpro | Starting | 13:19 |
| inetpro | Hmm | 13:19 |
| inetpro | Starting installation with nomodeset | 13:20 |
| inetpro | Eish... | 13:25 |
| inetpro | ubiquity takes for ever and then crashes | 13:27 |
| inetpro | I'm stumped! Will have to find something else. | 13:31 |
| tumbleweed | why are you using nomodeset everywhere? | 13:31 |
| inetpro | What can I use if otherwise I can not get into the gui? | 13:32 |
| tumbleweed | that sounds like you may have bigger problems | 13:33 |
| tumbleweed | nouveau should support that card just fine | 13:33 |
| inetpro | I just get a big maze of white blocks on the screen if I don't use nomodeset | 13:34 |
| inetpro | And so do colleagues with the same hardware | 13:34 |
| tumbleweed | from the live CD? | 13:35 |
| inetpro | Yep | 13:35 |
| tumbleweed | what hardware? | 13:35 |
| inetpro | Mecer | 13:36 |
| inetpro | Model: W86CU | 13:36 |
| tumbleweed | that looks rather like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657736 | 13:43 |
| inetpro | Very similar yes | 13:46 |
| Kilos | eish inetpro this is a stinker hey? | 14:15 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I will win it in the end | 14:28 |
| Kilos | its hard to understand how this happens when it was working before | 14:29 |
| inetpro | watch this space | 14:31 |
| Kilos | ok | 14:35 |
| inetpro | Kilos: the only problem is that there's other life as well | 14:53 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:54 |
| * inetpro trying to resize my casper-rw loop file | 14:54 | |
| inetpro | think that is what's killing ubiquity | 14:55 |
| * inetpro found http://www.pendrivelinux.com/how-to-create-a-larger-casper-rw-loop-file/ | 14:55 | |
| Kilos | you having this prob on a clean install? | 14:55 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I'm not even there yet | 14:56 |
| inetpro | the installer crashes | 14:56 |
| Kilos | maverick as well? | 14:56 |
| inetpro | no oneiric but it has nothing to do with the distro or version | 14:57 |
| inetpro | I installed some additional stuffs on the live disk | 14:57 |
| Kilos | you added stuff to the iso then burned a cd? | 14:58 |
| inetpro | no | 14:59 |
| inetpro | while running off the live cd I installed stuff | 14:59 |
| Kilos | so what additional stuff then? | 14:59 |
| inetpro | s/live cd/live usb disk/ | 14:59 |
| Kilos | ok | 15:00 |
| Kilos | but clean install will forst format then start to install | 15:00 |
| inetpro | like gnome-tweak-* screen, ++ | 15:00 |
| Kilos | i lost now | 15:00 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you can run your OS from a live disk without installing | 15:01 |
| Kilos | didnt know you can install stuff then clean install | 15:01 |
| Kilos | yes | 15:01 |
| inetpro | a usb drive is rw | 15:01 |
| inetpro | read and write | 15:02 |
| Kilos | but dont you first have to mount the drive then do that | 15:02 |
| inetpro | Kilos: heh, it's mounted during the boot process | 15:02 |
| Kilos | is it if you are running from the live cd? | 15:03 |
| Kilos | i had to manually mount from live cd to fix grub | 15:03 |
| inetpro | Kilos: yes, while running on the live cd I installed additional stuff | 15:11 |
| inetpro | s/cd/usb/ | 15:11 |
| inetpro | Kilos: the stuff that gets installed on the live disk lives in a file called casper-rw on the CD or the USB | 15:17 |
| Kilos | ah | 15:17 |
| inetpro | that file is actually just another raw partition | 15:17 |
| inetpro | or another ISO in itself | 15:18 |
| inetpro | ok the problem with ubiquity crashing was not the size | 15:32 |
| * inetpro busy running apt-get upgrade on the bigger live disk | 15:33 | |
| inetpro | perhaps that will sort it | 15:33 |
| inetpro | hmm... this will take a while... now on 30% | 15:39 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 16:05 |

| nlsthzn | Maaz, thanks | 16:50 |
| Maaz | nlsthzn: Okay :-) | 16:50 |
| Kilos | looks like inetpro has blown up his pc or else gone fishing | 17:49 |
| inetpro | eish Kilos | 17:53 |
| inetpro | had to fetch kids and have dinner and all kinds of stuff in between | 17:54 |
| Kilos | wat gaan aan boetie | 17:54 |
| Kilos | lol ok | 17:54 |
| inetpro | updates take way to much space | 17:54 |
| inetpro | 1GB is not enough these days | 17:55 |
| Kilos | are you updating the usb drive? | 17:55 |
| inetpro | Kilos: yep and the thing was full again | 17:55 |
| Kilos | eish | 17:55 |
| inetpro | did some cleaning and broke libreoffice | 17:55 |
| inetpro | thought I would get away with that | 17:56 |
| Kilos | why not install and get it working then use remastersys to burn a dvd of your whole system | 17:56 |
| inetpro | but ubiquity wants everything up to date before it will be happy | 17:56 |
| Kilos | eish | 17:57 |
| * inetpro learned the hard way now | 17:57 | |
| inetpro | don't let the system learn about new updates | 17:57 |
| Kilos | and its all bandwidth lost every time | 17:57 |
| inetpro | or it will want them all | 17:57 |
| Kilos | thats part of the reason i turned off updates | 17:58 |
| inetpro | but Kilos I must say the new ubuntu looks like you can work with it | 17:58 |
| Kilos | firefox alone used to kill me | 17:58 |
| Kilos | unity? | 17:58 |
| inetpro | yep | 17:58 |
| inetpro | but gimme some time before I tell you that it's nice | 17:59 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:59 |
| Kilos | gnome is nice | 17:59 |
| Kilos | night all. have a good successful evening and sleep tight | 18:39 |
| nlsthzn | Good night ZA | 18:43 |
| inetpro | eish... I give up for now with installing ubuntu | 19:01 |
| inetpro | ubiquity keeps crashing even after everything is updated | 19:01 |
| * inetpro is back on a kubuntu with yucky resolution | 19:02 | |
| inetpro | am contemplating installing SUSE or something else | 19:04 |
| inetpro | or mint | 19:04 |
| inetpro | just can't waste to much bandwidth right now | 19:04 |
| inetpro | hmm... what's wrong with za.archive.ubuntu.com again? | 19:11 |
| Kerbero | no idea | 19:11 |
| Kerbero | but i saw that too | 19:11 |
| Kerbero | thought it was our network | 19:11 |
| inetpro | what other local repos do we have? | 19:12 |
| Kerbero | ftp.sun.ac.za | 19:12 |
| inetpro | thanks | 19:13 |
| Kerbero | np | 19:13 |
| Kerbero | ftp.sun is my primary repo | 19:14 |
| Kerbero | mirror.ac fallback | 19:14 |
| inetpro | can I use variables in the sources.list file? | 19:14 |
| inetpro | bad idea to replace all those lines every time you want to change a repo | 19:14 |
| Kerbero | copy paste | 19:15 |
| Kerbero | gedit -> replace | 19:15 |
| Kerbero | lol | 19:15 |
| superfly | inetpro: sources.list.mirror, sources.list.sun, etc | 19:19 |
| superfly | then just symlink the one you want | 19:19 |
| inetpro | superfly: hang on please go slow there | 19:20 |
| inetpro | I'm very tired of struggling by now :-( | 19:20 |
| inetpro | superfly: please explain that | 19:20 |
| superfly | inetpro: create separate files, so that each file contains that particular repo | 19:20 |
| inetpro | ahh | 19:21 |
| superfly | so, sources.list.sun contains the ftp.sun.ac.za repo | 19:21 |
| superfly | then you just create sources.list as a symlink to the particular one you want | 19:21 |
| inetpro | I gues the sun repos need to have ftp:// in front? | 19:21 |
| inetpro | eish | 19:23 |
| inetpro | I can't even get to ftp.sun.ac.za | 19:24 |
| inetpro | Telkom routing ftl! | 19:24 |
| inetpro | HOP 13 146.232.65.10 179.620 ms !X 178.880 ms !X 170.909 ms !X | 19:24 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: now here's something I ddn't get before | 19:31 |
| inetpro | http://pastebin.com/91BNrCyE | 19:31 |
| * inetpro going to try rebooting again | 19:32 | |
| inetpro | damn! | 19:34 |
| inetpro | now I need to make sure about this | 19:34 |
| inetpro | it started without having to do nomodeset | 19:34 |
| inetpro | but it was as if I had it set | 19:35 |
| inetpro | bad resolution... everything big | 19:35 |
| inetpro | now if only tumbleweed was still around | 19:35 |
| inetpro | that is after I set the repo to just archive.ubuntu.com | 19:37 |
| inetpro | perhaps za.archive may have played a role in messing up my working system? | 19:37 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: my new dmesg >> http://pastebin.com/6rm0NuDE | 19:42 |
| inetpro | now where do I find linux-source-2.6.35-31-generic | 19:55 |
| inetpro | for maverick | 19:55 |
| superfly | inetpro: did you try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657736/comments/45 ? | 20:10 |
| inetpro | superfly: where do I find the Additional Drivers feature? | 20:11 |
| superfly | inetpro: Kubuntu? K menu -> Applications -> System -> Additional Drivers | 20:12 |
| inetpro | superfly: ahh... | 20:13 |
| inetpro | doing that now | 20:13 |
| inetpro | superfly: no | 20:15 |
| inetpro | it found two drivers, NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver and Software modem | 20:15 |
| inetpro | both are perfectly installed and currently in use | 20:16 |
| inetpro | but I noticed something else | 20:16 |
| inetpro | on that same menu I see NVIDIA X server settings | 20:17 |
| inetpro | when I open that I get "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." | 20:17 |
| superfly | inetpro: try that | 20:19 |
| inetpro | have now run that with 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' and am about to restart | 20:19 |
| inetpro | Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". | 20:19 |
| inetpro | Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' | 20:19 |
| inetpro | New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 20:19 |
| inetpro | walla! | 20:20 |
| inetpro | or rather VOILLA! | 20:21 |
| superfly | ja, was about to say so | 20:21 |
| inetpro | UNBELIEVALBLE! That I had to struggle like this | 20:22 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed, superfly: Thanks for all your help | 20:23 |
| superfly | np | 20:28 |
| * hibana going in deep sleep mode again | 21:34 | |
| Kerbero | Symmetria: mirror.ac.za seems down | 21:40 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: hmm... we need to teach Maaz the email address for the NOC at Tenet | 21:46 |
| Kerbero | hehe | 21:46 |
| Kerbero | yeah | 21:46 |
| Kerbero | but symmetria said he will still have access to mirror | 21:46 |
| inetpro | sure, but he's not been very accessible lately | 21:47 |
| Kerbero | true that | 21:48 |
| inetpro | good night everyone | 21:49 |
