[06:51] <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
[08:03] <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.
[08:04] <head_victim> So in your system admin > administration > hardware drivers menu, what comes up? Is the driver activated or not?
[08:07] <head_victim> There are a couple of solutions on the forums but I don't know how accurate they are

[08:08] <head_victim> Personally I'd try the PPA version first because that will update easier in the future
[09:09] <snoopyau> Thanks , sorry was afk
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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 
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <snoopyau> i might have to go back to 32bit
[09:14] <head_victim>  So you've tried both the PPA and the drivers off the website?
[09:17] <head_victim> Also the command to ignore the edid and set the resolution looks like it mighit be worth a shot
[09:19] <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
[09:21] <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
[09:29] <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
[09:38] <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.

[13:20] <gggs> "IP over Avian Carriers" maybe?
[13:21] <sagaci> ha
[13:22] <gorilla> yes, the packet was roasted by the microwave link.
[13:27] <head_victim> Awww, pong :/
[13:28] <gorilla> yes, the roasted pigeon could be a little on the nose afterwards.

[13:30] <gggs> gorilla: no QoS with IPoAC
[13:31] <gorilla> gggs: same as for ICMP :-)
[13:33] <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
[13:35] <gorilla> could add another one.. stand-by. We'll send it when we can.. oh btw your payload is following on the next plane.
[13:37] <gggs> says "Round-robin queueing is not recommended.  Robins make for well-tuned networks but do not support the necessary auto-homing feature."
