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