[02:20] Hi [03:04] hi [06:51] 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] 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] So in your system admin > administration > hardware drivers menu, what comes up? Is the driver activated or not? [08:07] There are a couple of solutions on the forums but I don't know how accurate they are [08:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1846322 [08:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1766510 [08:08] Personally I'd try the PPA version first because that will update easier in the future [09:09] Thanks , sorry was afk [09:10] snoopyau: no worries, I'm in and out of here as well, let us know if it works [09:10] Saw those 2 ones already [09:11] I might just download Lubunut 10.x lts and give it a go [09:11] 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] unless you can make a batch script [09:12] I've never needed cli for nvidia :/ Mine always just work [09:12] 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] Maybe the nvidia 64bit drivers dont support the 560ti [09:13] i might have to go back to 32bit [09:14] So you've tried both the PPA and the drivers off the website? [09:17] Also the command to ignore the edid and set the resolution looks like it mighit be worth a shot [09:19] Ive tired the nvidias website ones and repo built in ones [09:19] i havent manged to get the open source 2d ones working yet [09:21] 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] Thanks ill give it a whirl later [09:29] Im in windows atm [09:29] Im using 1920x1080 in Windows atm wit the 560ti and a 27" screen [09:38] So when you go to change it thought are you using the "display" or the "nvidia settings" menu entry? [09:38] Just double checking because sometimes people don't realise you need to use nvidia settings when using the proprietary drivers.

[13:20] "IP over Avian Carriers" maybe? [13:21] ha [13:22] yes, the packet was roasted by the microwave link. [13:27] Awww, pong :/ [13:28] yes, the roasted pigeon could be a little on the nose afterwards. [13:29] 2 packets transmitted, 1 received, 50% packet loss, time 420000ms [13:30] gorilla: no QoS with IPoAC [13:31] gggs: same as for ICMP :-) [13:33] actually my bad, turns out IPoAC w/QoS was released 9 years after the initial rfc!

[13:33] whoops, newline fail, bad irssi [13:35] could add another one.. stand-by. We'll send it when we can.. oh btw your payload is following on the next plane.
