| Jeroen___ | Hello people, I have a small problem with newly installed Ubuntu 11.10. The second monitor attached to my notebook is not recognized. Oddly, it *does* work when I booted from the live USB ubuntu, but not on the ubuntu I installed on the hard drive (from that same USB drive). | 17:54 |

| duanedesign | Jeroen___: do you have an NVIDIA card? | 18:14 |
| Jeroen___ | Yes, nvidia. | 18:14 |
| duanedesign | Jeroen___: do you know if you are using the open source or proprietary driver? | 18:15 |
| Jeroen___ | Iḿ using a prorietary driver | 18:17 |
| duanedesign | Jeroen___: does only one monitor show in 'nvidia-settings'? | 18:21 |
| Jeroen___ | where do i find ´nvidia-settings´? Under ´displays´ only one monitor is shown, named ´unknown´, When I boot from the live USB drive, however, it shows both monitors, one as ´laptop' and one (correctly) as ´samsung ...' | 18:23 |
| duanedesign | Jeroen___: if you search in the Dash for 'nvidia' it should pop up. You can also launch it from the Terminal with the command nvidia-settings | 18:25 |
| duanedesign | if it is not installed you can install it with the command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 18:25 |
| duanedesign | Jeroen___: this might be helpful. http://askubuntu.com/questions/67495/getting-dual-monitors-to-work-on-11-10 | 18:33 |
| Jeroen___ | nvidia-settings did the trick! Thanks! :-) | 18:36 |
| duanedesign | Jeroen___: that is great! | 18:43 |

| samuel | hello all | 23:01 |
| samuel | i'm having problems installing ubuntu on my dell laptop, i wonder if anyone could offer some insight into the problem? | 23:02 |
| benonsoftware | samuel: Whats the problem? | 23:16 |
| samuel | ah hello, thankyou for your response, i cant resize the os partition in either gparted or the ubuntu installer | 23:18 |
| benonsoftware | What happenes? | 23:18 |
| samuel | after the installer failed i booted into the live cd and fired up gparted, it shows an exclaimation mark against the os partition, i have a dell vostro btw | 23:19 |
| samuel | the only partition that the ubuntu installer can install on has something like 10gb, and i'm a little concerned about formatting that | 23:19 |
| samuel | the total hard drive capacity is 500gb | 23:19 |
| benonsoftware | samuel: is it possible for you to wipe the whole drive? | 23:20 |
| samuel | well, i would rather leave windows 7 on there, reformatting would be a last resort | 23:20 |
| samuel | as its an oem install i get no windows disc | 23:20 |
| samuel | ah i think i might have found what the problem is | 23:23 |
| samuel | i may be able to fix it somehow with the recovery discs | 23:24 |
| samuel | thanks for your response, aparrently i need to use window's shrink partition tool, or format the hard drive, partition it, then use the recovery disc to install on the desired partition | 23:28 |
| stlsaint | samuel: wait what is the issue here? | 23:29 |
| samuel | i'm trying to set up a dual boot on my dell vostro laptop which has windows 7 preinstalled | 23:30 |
| samuel | when i do it via the ubuntu installation process it cannot access the main os partition | 23:31 |
| stlsaint | what are you using a recovery disc for? | 23:31 |
| samuel | i have been reading the multi boot guide via the ubuntu documentation | 23:31 |
| samuel | aparrently you can use the windows recovery disc to restore to any partition | 23:32 |
| samuel | (except for with HP computers) | 23:32 |
| samuel | i will try resizing the partition using the tool in windows first though as it seems the least destructive | 23:32 |
| stlsaint | im still not seeing what the issue is | 23:32 |
| stlsaint | use windows disk management to make a separate partition and then use the ubuntu disc to install | 23:33 |
| samuel | yup, that is my first option, this is the first time i have encountered this problem with an oem windows system thats all | 23:33 |
| samuel | perhaps its because the systems i have so far encountered are already set up with a partition, or i have been happy to completely remove windows | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | alright | 23:35 |
| samuel | like when did oem machines start having a single partition? every laptop or pc i have seen with windows up until now has had a partition for "backing up" (even if it has only one physical drive) | 23:36 |
| duanedesign | samuel: it is not letting you resize the windows partition/ | 23:36 |
| samuel | thats correct, not from gparted or the ubuntu installation process anyways, i'm doing it via the windows disk management now as advised | 23:37 |
| duanedesign | if the windows partition has a red exclamation point you can right-click and select Information to see if it gives any clues as to what the exclamation point is for | 23:39 |
| samuel | anyway thank you all who as pitched in on this so far! on #ubuntu all i could get was a debate over the advantages of GS or Unity or Fallback mode **sigh** | 23:40 |
| duanedesign | :) | 23:40 |
| duanedesign | coug**Unity**cough | 23:41 |
| duanedesign | ;) | 23:41 |
| samuel | yeah i got a list of problems too long for the screen to display | 23:41 |
| * samuel typing this from GS on ubuntu 11.10 | 23:41 | |
| duanedesign | oh boy | 23:41 |
| samuel | according to the ubuntu documentation there is a thing with windows 7/vista where certain files are not moveable | 23:41 |
| samuel | the work around is to use the windows disk manager as i have just done | 23:42 |
| samuel | the reason why i didnt find this out sooner is i had a mind blank as to how to phrase my google search, oh well, glad we all have IRC | 23:43 |
| duanedesign | ahh | 23:44 |
| samuel | btw did you know that on linux mint you get xchat by default and when you start it, it dumps you straight into their support channel - not sure if thats an awesome idea or just asking for it | 23:44 |
| duanedesign | another issue that has been popping up is that windows has 4 primary partitions m | 23:46 |
| duanedesign | 4 Primary partitions is the maximum allowed on an mbr partitioned disk | 23:46 |
| samuel | hmmmm i noticed that there are some 1mb partitions! thanks for the heads up, i could easily remove those | 23:47 |
| samuel | what is the result, ubuntu doesnt boot? or worse, no bootable os?? | 23:47 |
| samuel | BTW apart from this problem, i cannot fault this laptop, anyone in the UK reading this, got it in tesco for approx £360, AMD E450, 4GB DDR3 & 500GB HDD | 23:48 |
| samuel | from the live CD all essential hardware is functioning | 23:48 |
| duanedesign | nice | 23:49 |
| samuel | ah bollox, the unallocated space that i just created is unusable!!! | 23:52 |
| samuel | lets see if i can do anything with gparted | 23:52 |
| samuel | haha, and suprise surprise its because there are too many primary partitions! | 23:53 |
| duanedesign | aha | 23:54 |
| samuel | its ok, i lost one of the partitions, i can leave that space empty its like 4.67gb of nothing | 23:55 |
| duanedesign | if you can only get down to three you can install the two Linuc partitions in two logical partitions within an extended partition | 23:55 |
| duanedesign | Linux* | 23:55 |
| samuel | i bet deliberately put there to stop people from installing 3rd party os's | 23:55 |
| duanedesign | heh, i would not be suprised | 23:56 |
| samuel | i like to do my partitions /, /home and swap | 23:56 |
| samuel | allows for easy reinstallation of the os if things go badly | 23:56 |
| duanedesign | ahh, yes. that is a good idea | 23:56 |
| duanedesign | makes upgrading and reinstalling so much easier | 23:57 |
| samuel | yup, a simple case of formatting / | 23:57 |
| samuel | would be cool if the ubuntu installation did that from the upgrade option | 23:57 |
| samuel | rather than wiping everything off which is what it did last time i tried it | 23:57 |
| samuel | the company i work for does linux computers for grannies so an upgrade process like that would be a great idiot proof upgrade with no data loss | 23:59 |
