| gfarmer | anyone around to help with a display issue? | 04:31 |
|---|---|---|
| JoseeAntonioR | gfarmer Yes :) | 04:32 |
| gfarmer | awesome! I'm having trouble playing video on my second display | 04:32 |
| gfarmer | using VGA | 04:32 |
| gfarmer | everything else works, but video will only play on my primary monitor | 04:33 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Can you please give me the output of sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a ? | 04:33 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Please paste it in pastebin.ubuntu.com | 04:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | You can copy the output with Ctrl+Shift+C | 04:34 |
| gfarmer | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827275/ | 04:37 |
| gfarmer | that was withouth the second display hooked up | 04:38 |
| gfarmer | nm, didn't change the output of sudo lshw -C display | 04:39 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Can you please connect the second display and re-run the command? | 04:39 |
| gfarmer | I did and it was the same I think | 04:39 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok. Can you change the resolution on your first monitor? | 04:40 |
| gfarmer | sure, to what | 04:40 |
| JoseeAntonioR | I was asking if there are no problems when changing the resolution. | 04:40 |
| gfarmer | oh, yeah | 04:40 |
| gfarmer | primary is netbook and secondary is a TV | 04:41 |
| gfarmer | I can change resolution on both no problem | 04:41 |
| gfarmer | but video only works on primary unless I mirror the displays | 04:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | That is what I was going to ask | 04:42 |
| gfarmer | actually, I don't think video works on either now when I have both plugged in | 04:43 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Are you using shared screens? I mean, can you move a window from screen 1 to screen 2? | 04:44 |
| gfarmer | yes | 04:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Have you tried to open the video player on screen 1, and then move it to screen 2? | 04:44 |
| gfarmer | yeah | 04:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | And what happens? Do you still have the problem? | 04:44 |
| gfarmer | I just realized that I can't get video on screen 1 to work if I have screen 2 on as a shared screen | 04:45 |
| gfarmer | so it doesn't work on either in that situation | 04:45 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Then, I really can't help you, I don't know what to do in this case. Sorry. | 04:46 |
| gfarmer | ha, ok | 04:46 |
| gfarmer | it's rather strange | 04:46 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Yes, because everything except video works | 04:47 |
| gfarmer | like I said, with mirroring, it doesn't have a problem | 04:47 |
| gfarmer | oh well, maybe it's a bug | 04:47 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Can be | 04:47 |
| gfarmer | could it be that my graphics card just can't handle the load? | 04:48 |
| gfarmer | this is a netbook integrated card | 04:48 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Maybe. Have you tried searching for that? | 04:49 |
| gfarmer | for that card? | 04:50 |
| gfarmer | I didn't find many posts about that card | 04:51 |
| JoseeAntonioR | And have you tried upgrading the system? Because I see you are using Lucid Lynx | 04:52 |
| gfarmer | yeah, I could try that | 04:52 |
| gfarmer | didn't want to have to back everything up, but might help | 04:53 |
| JoseeAntonioR | gfarmer You have another option | 04:55 |
| JoseeAntonioR | You can download the CDs for 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10, and upgrade in order | 04:56 |
| JoseeAntonioR | That way you won't lose your data | 04:56 |
| gfarmer | yeah, can you download and update incrementally as well? | 04:57 |
| gfarmer | I'll need to free up some HD space | 04:57 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Yes, you can. | 04:58 |
| JoseeAntonioR | I suggest you download the torrents, that way you get a error-free iso | 04:59 |
| gfarmer | good idea | 04:59 |
| gfarmer | thanks again for the help | 05:01 |
| urlin2u | JoseeAntonioR, is it the alternative cd used for in place updates saving the data? | 05:01 |
| urlin2u | never used it was just wondering. | 05:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | urlin2u No, it is a text-based installer. To update without losing your data you can use the normal CD, and select to just upgrade the distro | 05:03 |
| urlin2u | JoseeAntonioR, cool I din't know this was possible, I will have to do one, thanks. :D | 05:03 |
| urlin2u | didn't* | 05:03 |
| JoseeAntonioR | urnlin2u No prob :) | 05:03 |
| gfarmer | quit | 05:07 |
| r4y | Is there a gui for looking at deleted files where I can see the files if they are still there?, I am not trying to recover any files. I have been wondering this because I have read about different programs on Google for doing so from the terminal. | 06:49 |
| r4y | Don't get me wrong I like the terminal. | 06:49 |
| bioterror | we got you wrong | 06:50 |
| bioterror | move files to trashbin first :D | 06:50 |
| r4y | :) he he | 06:50 |
| r4y | OK, then what about having a list of deleted files then in the terminal? | 06:51 |
| r4y | Instead of searching, that is what I am asking | 06:51 |
| r4y | I haven't invested time into trying out the different programs for recovery yet. | 06:52 |
| Unit193 | List of files you deleted from the terminal? You could look at .bash_history I suppose | 06:52 |
| bioterror | Unit193, it's full of rm -rf * | 06:53 |
| bioterror | :D | 06:53 |
| bioterror | "oh, I deleted all the files" | 06:53 |
| bioterror | !gddrescue | 06:53 |
| ubot2` | Factoid 'gddrescue' not found | 06:53 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: sudo undo ;) | 06:54 |
| Unit193 | !undelete | 06:54 |
| ubot2` | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 06:54 |
| r4y | This hard drive under Disk Utility is Ext4 | 06:56 |
| r4y | I wonder what kind of hard drive my uncle gave me a few years ago. | 06:57 |
| r4y | Will the last 2 links work for Ext4 hard drives?, Or just Ext3 hard drives? | 06:58 |
| r4y | So I can grep for files then? | 06:59 |
| r4y | It's been a while since I read about it | 07:00 |
| r4y | If I made a file right now then deleted how can I recover it? | 07:03 |
| r4y | Using the terminal that is | 07:03 |
| Unit193 | Look at the links from ubot2` and read up on testdisk | 07:03 |
| r4y | Does it need to be done from a live CD? | 07:06 |
| r4y | Or only for a hard drive crash? | 07:06 |
| r4y | I going to have to bookmark the links the bot posted | 07:08 |
| r4y | Is there a grep for ext4 like ext3 has which is shown as ext3grep? | 07:13 |
| r4y | I just found this link: | 07:14 |

| saji89 | Hi guys. | 07:18 |
| saji89 | I have been trying to set up a name based virtual host in pache on ubuntu 11.10, to a folder /var/www/test. But it keeps on pointing to /var/www only. Any idea how to solve it? | 07:18 |
| Unit193 | As I don't use apache, all I can say is I'm sure they have a channel, there is also #ubuntu-server, and this doc should help you too https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html (Otherwise, there may be someone here that can help) | 07:20 |
| saji89 | Unit193: I have already been to #ubuntu-server | 07:21 |
| Unit193 | Mind if I ask how long you waited for an answer? It's night in parts of the US now (02:22 for me) | 07:22 |
| saji89 | Unit193: No problem. I had been discussing there and as a matter of fact doing now too. Headed out here to know if someone does know of it. | 07:25 |
| Unit193 | Of it, yeppers, used to use it a long time ago. I now use Cherokee and lighttpd (on different computers). But anyway, I'm not the one you are seeking | 07:27 |
| saji89 | Unit193: No problem man. | 07:29 |
| Snicksie | saji89, have you been working with the virtual hosts in sites-enabled or sites-available? | 07:33 |
| Snicksie | isnt this what you're looking for saji89 : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#virtualhost ? | 07:34 |
| saji89 | Snicksie: I have been working in sites-available and using a2ensite. | 07:34 |
| Snicksie | okay | 07:34 |
| saji89 | Snicksie: I have followed that. But things doesn;t seem working as needed. | 07:34 |
| Snicksie | so you have a particular servername set up which should point to your site? | 07:35 |
| saji89 | Snicksie: Yes. | 07:37 |
| Snicksie | hm, dont know then... I've only seen others doing the setup, never did it myself :p | 07:39 |
| saji89 | Snicksie: Ok. thanks. | 07:40 |
| saji89 | Snicksie: By the way I had posted a detailed question in Askubuntu about this-http://askubuntu.com/questions/101030/apche-virtualhost-keeps-pointing-to-default-directory | 07:41 |

| LemonAid | Hello. How can i set the refresh rate for each monitor separately on 11.10? | 16:01 |
| holstein | LemonAid: you can put an xorg.conf in place | 16:04 |
| LemonAid | holstein, i`ll try and see how it turns out :) | 16:06 |
| === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan | ||

| LemonAid | So i got around the whole xorg.conf by using xrandr. But now i want to adjust the brightness of my monitor. Any tips? | 17:37 |
| holstein | LemonAid: i would look on the actual hardware.. other than that, you might just not have a way to do it... | 17:44 |
| LemonAid | holstein, that`s a bummer, because my other monitor is a bit dark with it`s brightness set to 100%. | 17:47 |
| holstein | well, i assume they are different types... thats probably to be expected to some degree | 17:48 |
| LemonAid | Yes, that is true. However i wanted something similar to the windows options. And i just found it, but it does not seem to work for some reason. Under CompizConfig Settings Manager > Opacity, Brightness and Saturation. | 17:51 |
| LemonAid | It may be that i don`t know how to 'apply' the settings though. | 17:51 |
| holstein | maybe you are not running compiz, or dont have the 3d drivers | 17:53 |
| LemonAid | compiz is running, but i have no idea what the 3d drivers are. Bottom line is that nothing seems to work in compiz, but compiz itself is working. | 18:08 |
| LemonAid | Some more digging. May have found something. Will be back, if nothing, just to vent. Even the plant in my room is tired of me. | 18:11 |
| LemonAid | Right, so what i tried didn`t work. But i found a post that said compiz does not work with unity. Is that true? | 18:24 |
| LemonAid | I mean, it is running, but no setting seem to register. | 18:28 |

| bodhizazen | yes, gma500 | 23:31 |
| bodhizazen | The spin will work on any hardware ubuntu runs on though | 23:31 |
| cprofitt | what processors or chipset? | 23:31 |
| bodhizazen | It is a nice, stable build if you want to demo 12.04 to someone | 23:31 |
| bodhizazen | x86 | 23:32 |
| cprofitt | ah... the Atom processor lineup | 23:32 |
