| snoopyau | Hi . Could anyone help me with a issue Im having with Ubuntu 10 LTS 64bit . I have an Nvidia 560ti and an Asus 27" MT276H LCD. I managed to get the drivers via the Update program but it ends up chucking a whobbly and wants to reset config to backup . I cant choose any decent res above 800x600. Im unsure if its a driver issue for the LCD or the Video Card or both | 06:51 |
| head_victim | snoopyau: it's unlikely to be a driver issue with the monitor it sounds more like an issue with the video card driver. | 08:03 |
| head_victim | So in your system admin > administration > hardware drivers menu, what comes up? Is the driver activated or not? | 08:04 |
| head_victim | There are a couple of solutions on the forums but I don't know how accurate they are | 08:07 |

| head_victim | Personally I'd try the PPA version first because that will update easier in the future | 08:08 |
| snoopyau | Thanks , sorry was afk | 09:09 |
| head_victim | snoopyau: no worries, I'm in and out of here as well, let us know if it works | 09:10 |
| snoopyau | Saw those 2 ones already | 09:10 |
| snoopyau | I might just download Lubunut 10.x lts and give it a go | 09:11 |
| snoopyau | The problem I find with nvidia drivers is often you have to drop to command line and type stuff, which doesnt help if your in firefox reading about it | 09:11 |
| snoopyau | unless you can make a batch script | 09:11 |
| head_victim | I've never needed cli for nvidia :/ Mine always just work | 09:12 |
| snoopyau | Nvidia drivers seem like a huge headache in linux, why cant it be easy like windows, download a driver, add it to the device manager and reboot | 09:12 |
| snoopyau | Maybe the nvidia 64bit drivers dont support the 560ti | 09:12 |
| snoopyau | i might have to go back to 32bit | 09:13 |
| head_victim | So you've tried both the PPA and the drivers off the website? | 09:14 |
| head_victim | Also the command to ignore the edid and set the resolution looks like it mighit be worth a shot | 09:17 |
| snoopyau | Ive tired the nvidias website ones and repo built in ones | 09:19 |
| snoopyau | i havent manged to get the open source 2d ones working yet | 09:19 |
| head_victim | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1692287 shows how to ignore the edid and then set the mode (resolution) to whatever you know your monitor can safely do | 09:21 |
| snoopyau | Thanks ill give it a whirl later | 09:29 |
| snoopyau | Im in windows atm | 09:29 |
| snoopyau | Im using 1920x1080 in Windows atm wit the 560ti and a 27" screen | 09:29 |
| head_victim | So when you go to change it thought are you using the "display" or the "nvidia settings" menu entry? | 09:38 |
| head_victim | Just double checking because sometimes people don't realise you need to use nvidia settings when using the proprietary drivers. | 09:38 |

| gorilla | would have been more impressive if it did come back to you in that amount of time. | 13:18 |
| gggs | "IP over Avian Carriers" maybe? | 13:20 |
| sagaci | ha | 13:21 |
| gorilla | yes, the packet was roasted by the microwave link. | 13:22 |
| head_victim | Awww, pong :/ | 13:27 |
| gorilla | yes, the roasted pigeon could be a little on the nose afterwards. | 13:28 |
| gggs | 2 packets transmitted, 1 received, 50% packet loss, time 420000ms | 13:29 |
| gggs | gorilla: no QoS with IPoAC | 13:30 |
| gorilla | gggs: same as for ICMP :-) | 13:31 |
| gggs | actually my bad, turns out IPoAC w/QoS was released 9 years after the initial rfc! " The following quality of service levels are available: Concorde, | 13:33 |
| gggs | First, Business, and Coach. Concorde class offers expedited data | 13:33 |
| gggs | delivery." | 13:33 |
| gggs | whoops, newline fail, bad irssi | 13:33 |
| gorilla | could add another one.. stand-by. We'll send it when we can.. oh btw your payload is following on the next plane. | 13:35 |
| gggs | says "Round-robin queueing is not recommended. Robins make for well-tuned networks but do not support the necessary auto-homing feature." | 13:37 |
