justdaveok, think I found my problem here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/63398301:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 633983 in linux (Ubuntu) "Can't boot amd64 live cd on Mac (EFI)" [High,Confirmed]01:28
justdaveaccording to that bug there's supposedly a separate image now specifically for amd64+mac01:29
justdavebut I don't see it on the beta2 download page01:29
justdavethe amd64 image apparently has an efi boot image on it, but assumes PC UEFI and not Apple EFI01:29
justdaveand Apple's EFI chokes on the UEFI image01:30
Thetejustdave: It's on this page http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/01:31
Theteoh wait01:31
pepeejustdave, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ?01:31
justdave64bit Mac, there we go01:31
Thetethere was a separate mac image, it's not there now01:31
justdavethanks01:31
justdavehmm, no torrent, and 2 hour eta on the direct download.  oh well, guess I wait. :)01:34
justdavedailies probably wouldn't have a big seed pool anyway01:34
mdeljustdave what mac are you installing precise on?01:35
justdaveintel-graphics mac mini01:35
mdelah ok01:35
mdelits running great for me01:35
mdelafter figuring out some bs01:35
justdaveit's already got 12.04 on it, via updating from 11.1001:35
mdelnice01:35
justdavebut then I tried to fiddle with some grub options and made it refuse to boot01:36
justdavedoesn't even make it to the grub menu01:36
justdaveso now I'm just trying to find something I can boot it with to go fix grub01:36
mdelreinstall or reconfigure it?01:36
mdelboot from livedc01:36
justdavelivecd wouldn't boot.  hence the above problem :)01:37
mdellive cd should be regardless if your grub is fubar01:37
mdelboot*01:37
justdaveright, but the EFI bootloader on the CD isn't compatible with Apple's EFI01:37
justdavehence the need with a separate image for Mac (which we just found)01:37
justdaveneed for*01:38
mdelyes use the amd64 mac version for sure01:38
justdaveI should go downstairs and plug into the ethernet for this download. Half the slow download speed is probably my sucky wifi (I have a ton of interference here)01:40
justdaveyep, that dropped an hour off the estimated download time just like that.  heh01:43

balazswhile installing 12.04, I am getting a wildly changing remaining time for the language pack downloads02:07
balazsis that normal ? sometimes it says 15 mins, then 5, then 5002:07
snadgepossibly because your download speed is wildly fluctuating02:07
balazssure, but there's no progress bar02:08
balazsand I have 100M down. is it normal for that part to take over 30 mins ?02:08

ztag100Is it stable?05:39
etpany clues on problem with private repo on upgrade? 11.10 -> 12.04 works fine but 10.04.4 -> 12.04 complains W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/..._Packages Hash Sum mismatch, repo is generated in 11.10 with apt-ftparchive05:47
iobokuhello guys06:31
iobokui want to install latest 12.04 beta and then at some point do the auto upgrade to final; should there be anything I need to take care of. My hardware works 100% with FOSS drivers.06:31
snadgedo it06:34
snadgeyou'd be a spaz to install 11.10 now06:34
iobokumost likely06:34
snadgewell it will involve more effort to upgrade.. if you decide you want to.. in a week or so when 12.04 is actually released06:35
iobokubut any issue I should be aware of , in general I mean06:35
snadgeor you could just install the beta now.. and not have to do anything to update to final06:35
iobokuoh, well; wouldn't a dist-upgrade work?06:35
iobokufrom beta -> final06:35
snadgesure it does.. but upgrade from the beta to final.. would actually be easier/less problematic06:35
snadgeright06:35
iobokuinstalling 11.10 is likely to be a waste of time if I try to setup everything the way Iwant to, I come into 'buntu from opensuse06:36
snadgethen you definitely dont want to go anywhere near 11.10 ;)06:36
snadgefair enough.. in october last year or whenever it was.. it seemed like a good idea at the time06:36
snadgehell no, now06:36
iobokuone other thing; i read that blue systems is taking over the kubuntu variant06:36
iobokuwhich means that the underlying backends with ubuntu +unity get more attention06:37
iobokudoes that mean anything dire for the kubuntu variant?06:37
snadgewell.. most ubuntu users are pretty happy with unity shell on top of gnome 306:37
snadgeno.. on the contrary06:37
snadgecanonical basically axed kubuntu from paid support.. because.. well.. various reasons06:37
snadgebut a company has offered to take it on06:37
iobokuname the biggest one if you care06:37
iobokuavoid fragmentation in support services?06:38
snadgesimplest way of putting it.. is it wasn't deemed worth it06:38
snadgeunity is their focus.. people may hate it.. and there are other options if you are one of htem06:39
snadgethey still provide gnome-shell and its classic desktop.. xfce.. lxde06:39
snadgeyou can still install kde if you want to.. its not like the choice has been denied.. its just not the primary focus06:40
iobokupeople usually don't like what they don't get initially; i think i will wait for a year or so to see if unity is better or not (speaking public acceptance wise)06:40
snadgewell.. ive been using it in 12.04 for the past few months.. and i finally get it06:41
snadgeits stable.. its consistent.. and fairly intuitive06:41
iobokunot going to buntu because of unity, going because most of the people i know in the end switched to ubuntu because they wouldn't care less into playing sysadmin on their dev box06:41
ioboku:)06:41
snadgeright.. its debian, but with a whip cracked over the devs... cos they can get lazy06:42
snadgerelease schedule.. vs when we feel like it06:42
iobokumy problem with debian is that I can't stand politics06:43
iobokuon technical grounds06:44
iobokuwasn't 'buntu started because debian was too lazylame?06:44
ioboku:"P06:44
snadgeand anal retentiveness when it comes to licensing issues.. and the lack of consideration for a purely desktop focus06:44
snadgeits because they had fundamentally different goals.. debian is linux for people who want linux06:45
snadgeand ubuntu is linux for people who dont want linux ;)06:45
iobokuhmm yeah, well, no student time here06:45
iobokugotta work in real life06:45
snadgeim playing with freebsd 9 at the moment.. and its ridiculous06:45
iobokuused 'bsd when i was a student, long time ago06:46
iobokunice thing, no workie if no sysadmin06:46
snadgewell i thought i'd try make a desktop out of it.. relatively painless.. if you like gnome 206:46
iobokui just don't want to be a sysadmin, I don't want to mix and match testing, unstable and volatile, Idon't want windblows and most of all osx is osUx for me06:46
iobokuso what else remains...06:46
Bronzecable tv abd a six pack06:47
iobokuandroid?06:47
iobokuha ha ha06:47
Bronze:)06:47
iobokui just don't like to have to work for myself as a sysadmin with this thing; it was fun once, but not anymore06:47
iobokuso it is smurf - level ease sleaze I am after06:48

APouloshello all13:23
APoulosso.13:27
APouloshere's my issue13:27
APoulosits very simple13:27
APoulosI wrote this rsync command: rsync --progress -rEog --exclude="home/alex/Videos" /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/13:27
APoulosthe only issue is that it keeps creating the Videos folder13:28
APoulosand even reading some of the man pages, there aren't very direct examples..13:28
APouloswell that was an unexpected disconnection.13:31
bjsniderAPoulos, the path doesn't seem quite right to me13:35
bjsnider"home/alex/Videos"?13:35
APoulosi tried this as well: rsync --progress -rEog --exclude="/home/alex/Videos" /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/13:36
bjsniderwhy is it in quotes?13:36
APoulosbecause thats how it was written in the rsync manuals...?13:36
APoulosor atleast the ones ive been reading13:37
APoulosbjsnider, whats your take on it?13:38
bjsnideri'm not an rsync expert but it doesn't look right13:39
APoulosbjsnider, well.. darn, do you know if anyone is up at the moment?13:40
bjsniderAPoulos, http://www.silug.org/lists/silug-discuss/200704/msg00020.html13:40
bjsniderbased on that, your syntax should be --exclude /home/alex/Videos13:42
bjsnidersorry, that should have a trailing slash too13:42
APoulosbjsnider, no worries, im going to run a test now13:42
bjsniderthe manpage is wrong i guess13:43
APoulosrsync --progress -rEog --exclude ~/Videos/ /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/13:45
APoulosstill included video file13:45
APoulosfolder*13:45
bjsnidertry $HOME/Videos/13:46
APoulosrsync --progress -rEog --exclude home/alex/Videos/ /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/ - this didnt work either13:47
APoulosok13:47
APoulosI'll try that13:47
APoulosbjsnider, nope --exclude $HOME/Videos/ /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/ didnt work either13:48
bjsniderare you trying to exclude all 3of those?13:49
APoulosyessir13:50
APoulosit says you can do it that way13:50
bjsnideryou have to use 3 separate --exclude statements13:50
bjsnider--exclude dir --exclude dir --exclude dir13:51
APoulosone moment13:53
APoulosbjsnider, no the first half is set of inclusion statements13:55
bjsnideri'm afraid i don't see what you're saying there. but if you want to exclude more than one file or directory you will have to use separate exclude instructions for each item13:57
bjsnidertar works exactly the same13:58
APoulosbjsnider, --progress -rEog - these keep all the file info13:58
APoulosbjsnider, r is recursive14:00
bjsnideri'm afraid i don't see the relevance. i asked if you were trying to exclude those 3 directories from the command. you said yes. is that correct?14:01
APoulosno14:01
APoulosexcluding 1 directory14:01
APoulosthe Videos folder14:01
bjsniderok, so perhaps the exclude statement should come later in the string14:01
bjsniderat the end, for example14:01
bjsniderthere are some good examples here: http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/10/10/rsync-exclude-files-and-folders14:05
bjsnideri'd forget about the manpage altogether and just use google14:05

kklimondasambagirl: there is gnome-session-fallback that will give you interface similar to 10.1015:43
minimecsambagirl: That should be possible, installing 'sudo apt-get install gnome' and choosing the gnome (classic) environment in lightdm.15:43
sambagirlok thanks i am trying it as a vm to see if it is ok for my needs brb thanks15:44
sambagirloh yes how do you get to a shell?15:45

sambagirlyes but thAT JUST brings up the search field. is that supposed to be a shell environment?15:48
minimecsambagirl: Try and see. Once you opend an application, it appears in the unity-launcher. With a right click on that icon, you can make it 'permanent' in the launcher.15:49

sambagirlok but i still cannot get to a shell.15:50

sambagirlbut support terminated for both15:58
sambagirlok thinks minimec15:58
kklimondasambagirl: lightdm will work just fine15:58
sambagirlwell hold on waht is the difference?15:58
sambagirli wanted to have gnome instead of unity by defaujlt15:58
sambagirldefault15:58
sambagirlcan i change the options later? switch between i mean?15:59
kklimondasambagirl: DM is just a login screen - it doesn't matter which one you use to get to the GNOME desktop but gdm is not being actively maintained in Ubuntu and LightDM is15:59
minimecsambagirl: Beware! gnome (classic) and Unity don't 'love' eachother. Gnome (calssic) might break the unity compiz settings, as both use compiz as compotie manager.15:59
kklimondayes you can15:59
sambagirloh so the old fashioned login is gdm15:59
sambagirllightdm is for the new look?15:59

bazhang!notunity | sambagirl16:23
ubottusambagirl: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic16:23
bazhangsambagirl, not exactly classic, but see above16:23
area51pilotsambagirl: dont like Unity?16:24
minimecyou should have these options, having installed gnome now. Maybe just reboot your VM.16:24

sambagirlno not at all. i cant navigate in it. i installed everything after 10.10 in vm and i cant figure out how to go anywhere or do anything. this in reality reminds me of osx16:24
bazhang!final | andrewaclt16:24
ubottuandrewaclt: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1.16:24

minimecsambagirl: ou should have that ubuntu icon next to you username. After having installed gnome, you should have 5 options now, 3x gnome, 2X unity.16:27
bjsnidersambagirl, you can use gnome-shell instead16:28
mcdonc_personally i'd wait for a while.. there are still some little niggles that will likely get worked out in a few months16:30
sambagirlminimec i dont have that. i ran the command listed earlier and it downloaded a bunch of stuff around 587mb of stuff and i restarted and stuff and the only prompt i had was regarding the lightdm and the gnm thing16:33

mfilipe_is there a contacts sync for Ubuntu One in 12.04?16:34
sambagirllet me reboot it again...16:34
minimecsambagirl: when the lightdm-greeter (login-greeter) is shown, you have an icon next to username. After a normal ubuntu install you have unity/unity2d as option. Now you should have 5 options. That's all i can say.16:35

EsoRotticaHello, I'm having an issue preventing me from logging in to my user profile. Yesterday, while changing my display settings from the display manager, I managed to get all the screens off. The system did not revert the changes after 30 seconds so I powered the machine off. I can no longer log into that profile. Once I supply my password, the screens blank and I am sent back to the login manager. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your18:08

justdaveok, got rid of my extra grub...18:27
justdaveit was my /boot partition that had it...  which was small...18:27
justdaveso I tarballed the contents of it, then ran gparted, deleted the partition and recreated it, then unpacked the tarball back into it18:27
Fyodorovnajustdave, you using a bot partition due to partitioning type?18:29
Fyodorovnaboot*18:29
Fyodorovnaaka gpt lvm...etc18:29
justdavethis machine was originally installed as Edgy Eft and has been upgraded since then18:30
justdaveI think having /boot separate was default back then18:30
Fyodorovnajustdave, if it is a standard mbr setup you don't ned a boot partition but just the right files in the right place including the mbr.18:31
justdaveFyodorovna: yup, I know. :)18:32
Fyodorovnacool18:32
justdavejust never got around to repartitioning it after they decided that wasn't best practice anymore18:32
justdaveand all the upgrades left it alone18:32
Fyodorovnajustdave, never had to use one myself luckily. Even with my W7 install which is never use I pre-formatted the NTFS to avoid the MS boot partition.18:34
* justdave curses uuid-based fstab entries18:39
justdaveof course the uuid changes if you delete and recreate a partition :|18:39
justdaveuuid of every partition on the drive changed, apparently18:40
justdavenot just the one I deleted/readded18:40
justdaveI updated that one in fstab, but not the one for swap18:41
Fyodorovnajustdave, you can in fstab change the UUID to /dev/sdaX   X is the partition # and get boot.18:43
justdaveoh, kernel command line in grub had it.  doh18:43
justdavehow do I make grub regenerate it's config?18:43
justdaveit's the generated one that has it18:43
justdavegrub-mkconfig seems to work, but sends it to stdout, I assume I have to write that somewhere18:43

trismEsoRottica: it would be interesting to see the output for the information requested by seb128 in the last comment on that bug (specifically the rm ~/.xsession-errors then log in and then attach ~/.xsession-errors to a comment in that bug report)18:54
EsoRotticafantastic, thanks for reading through, upon logging in once again, xsession errors did not regenerate18:55

EsoRotticaI am able to get into the files? Ive dropped to ctrl + alt + f1 and logged in. files appear working and accessable18:56
mcdonc_EsoRottica: one heavy hammer way around this would be to move ~/.config to ~/.config_aside and restart X18:57
trismEsoRottica: in that case, probably not related then18:57
EsoRotticato verify.....    drop to shell, login as blackbeard, mv ~/.config ~/.config.bak  | restartx18:58

Kiryxbut i guess it didn't get through19:01
Kiryxok, so I'm having issues with gaining focus in pidgin19:01
alice_this is just cruel19:01
alice_ok, so here it is19:01
alice_I am having issues with piding how appearing after I run it/alt-tab it/ click it from any bar/panel19:02
alice_s/how/not19:02
trismjustdave: if you have multiple os installed, that option is ignored in the confs in /etc/grub.d/19:02
alice_it starts, and i get info from tray about people getting online etc.19:02
alice_i just can't bring the window to the front19:03
trismalice_: yes, pidgin seems buggy with unity, as a workaround Tools/Preferences Show System Tray Icon - Always, seems to work19:06
trismalice_: you may need to add Pidgin to the systray-whitelist for that to help though19:06
EsoRotticatrism, no such luck19:07
trismalice_: install dconf-tools then dconf-editor desktop/unity/panel and add 'Pidgin' to the list in systray-whitelist19:08
trismEsoRottica: so none of the sessions will load at all?19:09
EsoRotticatrism, incorrect, I have a single use who wont load. Guest works fine. my admin backup works fine19:12
mcdonc_moving .config didnt help?19:12
EsoRotticamcdonc_: negative19:12
trismEsoRottica: I mean any of the sessions for the user that isn't working19:12
EsoRotticatrism: correct, both gnome and KDE fail19:13
mcdonc_bummer.. that worked for me when i painted myself into a corner19:13
mcdonc_but i went to ctrl-alt-f1, logged in as root, killed lightdm, su'ed to my nonroot user and moved it, then restarted lightdm19:13
EsoRotticato verify, I couldnty restrtx using "restartx"19:14
EsoRotticalightdm does the pass off correctly.19:14
EsoRotticaI will post my x-0 next :)19:14

justdavecan I tell it to ignore OS X?  I can get to that from the EFI bootloader, don't need to wait for grub for that :)19:15

I would like to fix it, but I have no idea where to start. inactive windows lose their titlebars. see the pidgin buddy list for what I mean...http://imagebin.org/20940921:36

HelenBoh i'm not using the top one. lol22:48
TheSimkinthe intel video drive is gpl22:49
TheSimkinit should be installed automagically22:49
HelenBTheSimkin, That's what I thought. lol22:49
TheSimkinHelenB: maybe try disabling desktop effects and play a video again22:50
HelenBhmm good thinking! :D22:50
auvajshi I wanna install ubuntu on a copletely new laptop with just FreeDos preinstalled. but the live cd doesn22:50
bkc_HelenB: the intel gma945 works wonders for me, I'm not having any of the problems your describing :/22:50
auvajshi I wanna install ubuntu on a copletely new laptop with just FreeDos preinstalled. but the live cd doesn't even boot.. watch this (low quality) video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdGzDDrDU7s&feature=youtu.be22:51
HelenBbkc_, And that means?22:51
HelenBIt's been like this through 3 fresh installs of Kubuntu and ubuntu.22:51
HelenBlol22:51
bkc_HelenB: all 12.04? or have you tried 11.10?22:52
HelenB10, 11 and 12 all have the same effect on the graphics.22:52
bkc_2sec,22:53
TheSimkinauvajs: can't look at video, but have you tried  a usb stick?22:53
bkc_HelenB: try "lsmod | grep i915" :)22:53
bkc_TheSimkin: the gfx-card can't handle the default gfx-mode :/22:54
auvajsTheSimkin: not yet I don't hjave one at handy22:54
HelenBbkc_, I'm going to PM you the output.22:55
HelenBToo slow for pastebin22:55
HelenBIf anyone else would like to see the output then please just tell me. :322:56
TheSimkinbkc_: lol22:56
EvilResistance!pastebinit | HelenB22:58
ubottuHelenB: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com22:58
EvilResistanceHelenB:  you could have just tried `lsmod | grep i915 | pastebinit` ;P22:59
EvilResistance(most people don't remember pastebinit exists :P)22:59
bkc_EvilResistance: didn't know that, but *thank you!!!!!*22:59
HelenBEvilResistance, I'm not putting any software on my system.22:59
EvilResistanceyour loss22:59
EvilResistanceyou already put software on your system by installing ubuntu xD23:00
* EvilResistance laughs evilly as he returns to his coding23:00
TheSimkinHelenB: installing from repositories is safe.23:00
HelenBI know23:00
TheSimkinHelenB: so why don't you want to install software23:00
EvilResistancegood question23:00
HelenBBecause I want to get this problem fixed first.23:00
EvilResistanceif you dont install software you cant keep your system up to date23:01
HelenBobviously23:01
TheSimkinHelenB: part of fixing the problem involves installing software.23:01
EvilResistancewell your system sucks then, because using pastebinit would make your output able to be viewed publicly easily23:01
* EvilResistance agrees with TheSimkin23:01
HelenBthanks for stating the obvious Mr Obvious23:01
EvilResistance!attitude | HelenB23:01
ubottuHelenB: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines23:01
TheSimkinyou're a little hostile for someone seeking help.23:01
* EvilResistance does not tolerate hostility pointed against him23:02
EvilResistancea(much)23:02

natmani am using live ubuntu 12.04, i know my laptop needs prop. drivers for gfx card, but none show in list23:20
dustinspringmannatman: what type of card?23:21
natmanmmm some old nvidia one23:22
natmanmmm some old nvidia one dustinspringman23:22
dustinspringmannatman: do you have glxgears yet so you can test FPS of your 3d?23:22
natmandustinspringman: I am running it live from usb stick, how do i test that23:23
bkc_natman: ignore statement above, use "glxinfo | grep -i direct"23:23
dustinspringmannatman: is your storage persistant?23:24
bkc_if the program isn't installed, install it with "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils"23:24
natmanbkc_: dustinspringman program is not installed and usb is no persistent23:25
bkc_doesn't matter,23:25
bkc_sudo apt-get install mesa-utils23:25
bkc_(glxinfo and glxgears comes with mesa-utils)23:26
bkc_then: glxinfo | grep -i direct23:26
natmanmesa has no installation candidate23:26
bkc_mesa-utils :/23:27
dustinspringmannatman: I was wondering because you are about to do a lot of work to get better graphics support, and when the machine is rebooted it will all be gone.. figured I'd ask before you spend a lot of time on it..23:27
natmandustinspringman: bkc_ okay guys, all i want to know is this, when i eventually doa  full install, will i be able to get my nvidia card support working, i am worried since noting is showing the prop. hardware drivers box on live23:28
bkc_natman: lsmod | grep nv23:29
bkc_look for nvidia23:29
dustinspringmannatman: that's a great question. Getting the mesa-utils will answer a lot of that.. you may be fine with the default drivers with a few tweaks, or you might have to do some nvidia-settings install/xorg.conf editing..23:29
bkc_if AMD-card, | grep fglrx23:29
bkc_ooh, nvidia...23:29
natmanbkc_:  gives no output23:30
bkc_natman: lsmod | grep nouv23:30
natmanbkc_:  ok few lines of output23:31
bkc_look for nouvoue or something like that :)23:31
natmanbkc_: each one says "nouveau"23:32
bkc_okey, so it's using the OSS-driver, now do this23:32
bkc_sudo apt-get install mesa-utils23:32
bkc_glxinfo | grep -i string23:32
bkc_and then glxinfo | grep -i direct23:33
natmanbkc_:  "has no installation canddtate"23:33
bkc_what?? :/23:33
wylde!info mesa-utils23:33
ubottumesa-utils (source: mesa-demos): Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities. In component universe, is extra. Version 8.0.1+git20110129+d8f7d6b-0ubuntu2 (precise), package size 26 kB, installed size 132 kB23:34
natmanlook guys, its not working23:34
bkc_natman: you need to enable the universe-repo...23:34
bkc_2 sec23:34
natmanWhen i used 11.10, and pulled up "additional drivers" i was always told about my nvidia card - that was fine, no on my LIVE 12.04 when i pull up "additional drivers" it has nothiing - im just worried about when i go to do a full install23:35
natmanPerhaps nvidia drives come bundled in the LIVE version?23:36
bkc_natman: no, your using the open-source version nouvoue... the nvidia-provided proprietary driver isn't in the live-version... that one you have to install afterwards :)23:37
bkc_do this "lspci | grep -i vga"23:37
natmanbkc_:  VGA compatabile controller : Nvidia Cor......23:38
bkc_the whole line please :)23:38
natmanbkc_: ( diff pc cant copy and paste ) VGA compatible controler : Nvidia corp. G72M [ GeFroce Go 7200] (rev a1)23:39
bkc_that one is compatable with at least the 195-legacy blob :)23:40
bkc_natman: and the latest 295.40 to as far as I can see :)23:41
bkc_shouldn't be a problem :)23:41
natmanbkc_:??? dont get you, btw i had to boot with NOMODESET23:41
bkc_natman: the nomodeset is pretty much standard for nvidia-cards...23:41
natmanbkc_:  okay i have one question, when i go and install it will the nice box pop up asking if i wish to install nvidia drivers?23:42
bkc_no23:42
natmanwhy not?23:42
natmanit always used to23:42
bkc_you have to add a repository and then install the drivers from whatever package-manager you prefer :)23:43
natmanbut in the end of the day, without too much hassel i will have my nvidia working?23:43
bkc_yes23:43
natmancool, thx bkc_ see you Friday im guessing23:44
bkc_I'll be here ;)23:44
