| eli_ | hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 20:05 |
|---|---|---|
| eli_ | haloo | 20:05 |
| eli_ | i have a problem in ubn 12 | 20:05 |
| eli_ | the screen is scrumble | 20:06 |
| eli_ | any ideas? | 20:06 |
| eli_ | anybody here? any help? | 20:09 |
| Avihay | eli_: you can try to run a non-3d accelerated desktop | 20:22 |
| Avihay | umm, let me make sure of something: you can boot without a problem and see the log-in screen but when you log-in there are problems? | 20:24 |
| eli_ | the problems starts after log in immiedtly | 20:25 |
| eli_ | i cant boot after i logged on | 20:26 |
| Avihay | then try to use a non-3d accelerated desktop (like unity2d or gnome2) | 20:27 |
| Avihay | you can select a different desktop environment from the log-in screen | 20:28 |
| Avihay | eli_: ^ | 20:28 |
| eli_ | ok - wait i'll try | 20:28 |
| Avihay | you may talk in Hebrew if it's easier for you | 20:28 |
| eli_ | ok | 20:29 |
| eli_ | יש לי שתי אופציות : ubuntu2D & אובנטו | 20:30 |
| Avihay | try the 2d | 20:30 |
| eli_ | עבדי | 20:31 |
| eli_ | תודה רבה | 20:31 |
| eli_ | מה הייתה הבעיה? | 20:31 |
| Avihay | ok, now you have a good environment to work with | 20:31 |
| Avihay | your 3d driver has a problem | 20:32 |
| eli_ | איך מתקנים? | 20:32 |
| Avihay | we can probably fix it by installing the propriatory driver so you can have 3d acceleration | 20:32 |
| eli_ | אתה מתכוון לבעיה בחומרה? | 20:32 |
| Avihay | no, it's software | 20:32 |
| eli_ | ok | 20:32 |
| Avihay | usually hardware manufacturers don't create drivers for linux, so linux users have to work blindly to create a driver for linux | 20:33 |
| eli_ | מרכז התכנה של אובנטו יכול לעזור? | 20:33 |
| Avihay | ok, let's first make sure of what GFX card you have | 20:33 |
| Avihay | will you be so kind as to open a terminal window and type "lspci | grep vga" (without the "") | 20:34 |
| eli_ | בטח, אני רק איטי קצת | 20:34 |
| Avihay | lspci = list (what devices are on the) PCI bus | 20:34 |
| Avihay | grep vga = show only lines that contain the word "vga" | 20:35 |
| Avihay | so, ATI or AMD? better show me the whole line if you can. you can run an IRC client from your linux desktop and copy-paste | 20:36 |
| eli_ | איך אני פותח חלון טרמינל? | 20:37 |
| eli_ | המעבד הוא AMD | 20:37 |
| Avihay | umm, I don't really use gnome, I forgot how it's called | 20:37 |
| Avihay | sec | 20:37 |
| Avihay | if you press alt+f2, do you get a run dialog? | 20:38 |
| eli_ | כן | 20:39 |
| Avihay | ok, try writeing gnome-terminal in it | 20:39 |
| Avihay | and enter, I guess | 20:40 |
| Avihay | if that doesn't work, run xterm | 20:40 |
| eli_ | זה נפתח | 20:41 |
| Avihay | ok | 20:41 |
| Avihay | lspci | grep vga | 20:41 |
| Avihay | you can run just "lspci" to see the full output | 20:42 |
| Avihay | and you might want to run an IRC client from the linux machine so you can copy/paste | 20:42 |
| eli_ | כתבתי את שורת הפקודה שנתת למעלה - התוצאה כלום | 20:43 |
| eli_ | יש "|" ?ון? נכ | 20:44 |
| Avihay | yes | 20:44 |
| Avihay | try just "lspci" | 20:44 |
| Avihay | ok, you should get a listing of the cards in your computer. find the one that describes the make and model of your GFX card. it usually has the word VGA in the same line | 20:46 |
| Avihay | ahh, it's VGA and not vga... | 20:46 |
| Avihay | lspci | grep VGA | 20:46 |
| eli_ | אני מחליף למשתמש eli99 | 20:48 |
| eli99 | hi | 20:49 |
| Avihay | hi | 20:49 |
| Avihay | lspci | grep VGA | 20:49 |
| eli99 | elias@elias-MS-7309:~$ lspci | grep VGA 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce 405] (rev a2) | 20:50 |
| Avihay | there are also ls, lsusb, lshw and a few other neat utilities like that | 20:50 |
| eli99 | so my vga card is geforce | 20:51 |
| Avihay | ok, you have an nVidia card. nVida cards like ATI card have two sets of drivers. the open-source one (it's the one installed by deafult and for you, it doesn't seem to work) | 20:51 |
| Avihay | and the closed-sourced one that nVidia is making | 20:51 |
| Avihay | installing the closed-source one will probably let you enjoy 3D acceleration | 20:52 |
| eli99 | ok | 20:52 |
| Avihay | ubuntu has an easy to use GUI to doing that | 20:52 |
| eli_ | איך? | 20:52 |
| Avihay | tell me if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 20:53 |
| Avihay | otherwise, I'll guide you on how to do it from the terminal | 20:54 |
| eli_ | אני מנסה עכשיו | 20:56 |
| Avihay | good luck | 20:56 |
| eli_ | מוריד ומתקין | 20:58 |
| eli_ | :) | 20:58 |
| Avihay | oh, good, I don't know how it looks on your side, and I thought I need to guide you blindly | 20:58 |
| eli_ | בינתיים זה מתקין | 21:01 |
| eli_ | דרך אגב אני זוכר שזה אותה בעיה שהייתה לי כאשר הייתה לי פידורה 15 | 21:02 |
| eli_ | מפעיל מחדש | 21:03 |
| eli_ | הצלחנו אחי | 21:04 |
| eli_ | אני מודה לך מאד | 21:04 |
| eli_ | אין עליך | 21:04 |
| nady | ? | 22:21 |
| nady | חג שמח | 22:23 |
| nady | מה עושים? | 22:33 |
| nady | מישהו ער? | 22:45 |
