| philipballew | What would cause my load average to slowly rise? | 01:45 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: process running in background | 01:58 |
| philipballew | stlsaint, whats the best way to track that down? | 01:59 |
| JoseeAntonioR | philipballew: System Monitor | 02:00 |
| philipballew | so like htop or top i guess | 02:00 |
| JoseeAntonioR | philipballew: kinda | 02:00 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: top will do | 02:02 |
| stlsaint | simply watch top a few mintues to see whats hogging cpu | 02:02 |
| philipballew | alright. seems good enough | 02:03 |
| salek2 | I,m useing ubuntu 10.4, I just changed the screen resolution and after that I have a black screen with a flowing box with this messege : " NOT OPTIMUM MODE, recommended mod 1600x900 60Hz , analog" | 06:41 |
| salek2 | how can I have my screen back? | 06:41 |
| stlsaint | salek2: how did you change the resolution? | 06:42 |
| salek2 | there was a monitor image on the top of my desktop and i choosed the last option | 06:43 |
| stlsaint | which was? | 06:44 |
| salek2 | i cant remember that was something like 900x700 | 06:45 |
| stlsaint | salek2: so what are you using now? You at command line or ....? | 06:46 |
| salek2 | Im using windows now | 06:48 |
| stlsaint | salek2: can you boot into recovery mode on your ubuntu? | 06:49 |
| salek2 | yes | 06:49 |
| stlsaint | salek2: and you can get to commadn line? | 06:49 |
| salek2 | yes | 06:49 |
| stlsaint | what resolution do you want it at? | 06:49 |
| salek2 | i think it should be 1600x900 | 06:50 |
| bioterror | quite weird resolution, if you ask from me :P | 06:50 |
| salek2 | what should it be so?:D | 06:50 |
| stlsaint | agreed but OP could have large monitor | 06:51 |
| stlsaint | salek2: use xrandr as such: xrandr -- output VGA --mode 1600x900 --rate 75 | 06:52 |
| salek2 | I just want my screen back | 06:52 |
| salek2 | I tried that | 06:52 |
| stlsaint | salek2: and what happened? | 06:52 |
| salek2 | the answer was: can't open disply | 06:52 |
| stlsaint | salek2: is there a reason you want a resolution of 1600x900? (and yet selected 900x700 or close?) | 06:53 |
| salek2 | see my screen in ubuntu was not 100% fixed to my monitor screen | 06:54 |
| salek2 | and I wanted ti fix it | 06:54 |
| salek2 | so i changed that | 06:54 |
| stlsaint | smh | 06:55 |
| bioterror | I would recommend generating xorg.conf and tweaking it from there | 06:55 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: lol i was just about to ask for xorg.conf output | 06:55 |
| salek2 | how can i do that | 06:55 |
| salek2 | im so a begiiner | 06:55 |
| stlsaint | feel a dpkg-reconfigure coming on | 06:55 |
| bioterror | salek2, Xorg --configure | 06:55 |
| stlsaint | first backup the old xorg.conf | 06:56 |
| bioterror | you get xorg.conf.new | 06:56 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: yea but if the resolution sticks we would want the .new to just be org | 06:57 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: also i used to use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:57 |
| stlsaint | old fashioned | 06:57 |
| salek2 | i used that line | 06:58 |
| salek2 | but no answer | 06:58 |
| salek2 | sudo dpkg-re.... | 06:58 |
| stlsaint | salek2: did you look in your xorg folder | 06:58 |
| stlsaint | ?? | 06:59 |
| salek2 | I dont have access to my ubuntu | 06:59 |
| stlsaint | you said you could reach it in safe mode. Also have you tried booting up trying to drop to tty with ctrl+alt+f1 ? | 07:00 |
| stlsaint | boot regular and try hitting ctrl+alt+f1 | 07:00 |
| salek2 | ok | 07:00 |
| salek2 | i go try it | 07:00 |
