[13:55] any precedence for the installer instacrashing on macbooks? i can only get as far as the install button, even with the slideshow removed. [13:56] dajxd, wait you are installing Ubuntu Stu on a MacBook? [13:56] s/Stu/Studio [13:56] trying to, yeah [13:56] that isn't supported you know === smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw [13:56] dajxd, we don't provide amd64+mac disks [13:56] for good reason, i guess- i got it working a few versions ago i thought. thanks anyway! [14:00] would i have any luck just apt-getting all of the ubuntu studio packages from ubuntu? [14:00] (of course not expecting support or documentation from there on out) [14:01] dajxd, well yes:D [14:01] dajxd, sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-* [14:01] That might work [14:01] well i'll give that a shot! thank you. [16:12] problem with nvidia geforce 8400m gt gpu in ubuntu studio12.....how can i resolve it???? [16:14] pacobecu: What sort of problem? [16:16] sorry...i dont speak english very well....the problem is that dont recognize the driver and the resolution is very low [16:21] pacobecu: Did you install the nvidia proprietary driver? [16:21] In the command line: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [16:22] i need the all the specific command... please...i am new user of linux...i dont know how to do it...thank you [16:23] pacobecu: Commands for what? [16:24] for the terminal... i tried that "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" and when reboot the system doesnt work....one time yes and the next time not [16:29] pacobecu: That is what installs the nvidia drivers [16:29] pacobecu: Did you add another kernel since then? [16:29] pacobecu: How do you know the drivers are not working? [16:30] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [16:30] this is the message that appears [16:31] i have just complete the installation and this is the problem [16:32] pacobecu: Ok. don't run nvidia-xconfig. And, erase the xorg.conf file, if it exists. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:34] step by step please...i have not idea [16:35] pacobecu: Delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it exists [16:35] ok... [16:35] In a terminal: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:37] ok...it doesnt exist.. [16:41] pacobecu: To make sure it's installed, do: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [16:41] Then reboot [16:41] just did it [16:41] the drivers are installed [16:42] pacobecu: What kernel are you running? [16:42] pacobecu: uname -r [16:43] i just try ubuntu studio 12...i download in his web and just tried to install [16:43] 3.5.0-17-lowlatency [16:44] pacobecu: Ok, good [16:44] pacobecu: Did you reboot? [16:44] no...ill reboot [16:49] zequence...i rebooted the system and all is the same... [16:50] pacobecu: I have no idea why it is not working out for you. Ubuntu Studio is no different from any other Ubuntu in this regard [16:50] The kernel is the same as linux-generic [16:50] So, full support for the nvidia drivers [16:51] thank very much anyway...bye [16:52] pacobecu: Wait [16:52] ok [16:52] pacobecu: Perhaps your device is too old for that driver [16:53] pacobecu: Try installing: sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 [16:54] Supports nvidia, series 5-9 [16:54] ok...but first how can i remove the current drivers [16:55] pacobecu: It will be automatically removed [16:55] ok...ill try..wait [16:55] pacobecu: It's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may ask on any Ubuntu channel, or forum about this, as it's the same for all Ubuntu flavord [16:56] flavors* [16:56] thank you
