psyatwI´m looking forward to seeing how that works08:42
ThatGraemeGuyhello peeps09:29
Squirm'lo09:42
mazalAny smart guys around ?09:52
mazalI have installed Ubuntu to my external hdd ( 13.04 , want to have the same os with same docs and mail and all both at work and at home)09:53
mazalAt home , it works , but at work I get to the login and when I log in I only see the desktop. No launcher , no top tray or system area09:54
mazalInstinct tell me it can be graphics drivers maybe ? At home , where it was installed , Nvidia's proprierty drivers was installed.09:55
Kilosai!09:55
mazalSo now I think it's those drivers not working at the work pc09:55
Kilosyip09:55
mazalBack at home I tried to deselect that driver in " additional drivers " section , but ubuntu refuse to deselect it09:55
Kilosi read somewhere that happened because of graphics driver09:55
mazalAny ideas ?09:56
Kilosare the graphics cards different09:56
mazalIs there a manual way to remove the nvidia proprietary driver ?09:56
mazalYes they are Kilos 09:56
Kilosboth nvidia?09:56
mazalNope , ati at work09:57
Kilosai!09:57
Kilosubuntu not very ati friendly09:57
mazalIt might also be an ATI 13.04 thing.09:57
SquirmKilos: ATI supplies drivers for Ubuntu09:57
mazalI remember when I installed 13.04 for first time at home I had to remove ati card and install nvidia card09:58
SquirmI use them, they're not that great though09:58
mazalATI's drivers didn't work at all on my ati card at home09:58
mazalNow I think that if I remove the nvidia drivers that ubuntu can work in a default state without screen drivers and might work on both with it's own built-in drivers ? Like when you first install ?09:59
Kilosyeah nouveau driver09:59
mazalBut I dunno how to get the nvidia one off10:00
KilosMaaz, google 13.04 no launcher or top panel with ATI graphics card10:00
MaazKilos: "unity - Launcher and panel missing [ubuntu 13.04] - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/288235/launcher-and-panel-missing-ubuntu-13-04 :: "Ubuntu 12.10 shows no launcher or menu - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/208346/ubuntu-12-10-shows-no-launcher-or-menu :: "Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears - Ask Ubuntu"10:00

Kilosnope10:00
Kilosapt-get remove10:01
Kiloswhat are you using nvidia-173-extras10:01
mazalCan't remember oom , and can't boot it here to see10:02
mazalIt was one of the "tested" ones10:02
Kilosmost likely 173 or 173-extra10:03
Kiloshi Squirm help the poor man10:03
Kiloshi ThatGraemeGuy 10:04
mazalOom Kilos the list of problems have been getting so long I had to install win this weekend in dual-boot just to get work done :-( Now this problem also10:04
Kiloswhen it boots to that blank screen ctrl+alt=f2 to get prompts10:05
mazalSuddenly this weekend video editing also started giving issues10:05
Kiloseish10:05
mazalHad to boot 12.04 to get that done. I am running 3 os's now :-(10:05
Kilosai!10:05
Kilosyou gotta try get to kde im sure it has more tools10:06
mazalVery last time I install these middle releases. from 14.04 gonna stay on LTS and hope it goes better10:11
Kilosare you in the prompt?10:12
Kilosat10:12
mazalI can't Kilos , I will have to shut down and boot that broken one , then I can't get on here10:14
Kilosah10:14
mazalYou have a way to remove the driver in cli ?10:14
Kilosbecause after ctrl+alt+f2 you can remove nvidia from the terminal10:15
mazalUhm , ok lemme see if I can boot it on another pc10:15
Kilosalso on that blank screen you can ctrl+alf+t for a terminal10:16
Kilosctrl+alt+t10:16
Kilosthen you can lspci and it will show the card in the machine10:19
mazalbusy booting10:19
mazalOk , I'm in terminal10:20
mazalHow to remove nvidia drivers ?10:20
Kilosapt-get remove nvidia-173 i hope10:21
Kilosif you used that one10:21
mazalIsh , you hope :-P10:21
Kilosya man you must know which one you used10:22
Kiloshehe10:22
mazalWait I was able to get to " additional drivers "10:22
mazalIt's actually using ATI open source tested. It automatically changed to that it seems10:23
mazalSo it's the same &^%$*&$%^$ ati thing I had at home grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr10:23
Kilosok activate10:23
mazalIt's won't work on this pc :-(10:23
Kilosoh my10:23
Kilosok you know the card?10:23
mazalCheck how stupid this is , that drivers is marked , but it says " no proprietry driver in use "10:24
Kilosmaybe one can get the drivers from ati10:24
Kilosits maybe not activated10:24
mazalAnd I know for a fact the other two listed won't work as those two broke my system so bad the last time I had to re-install10:25
Kilosbut you can do aptitude reinstall driver if you have its particulars10:25
Kilosai!10:25
Kilosyou'll have to wait for a clever geek to help you10:26
mazalThanx for trying oom , at least now I know 13.04 can't do what I need10:27
Kilosmazal, dont the nouveau drivers work10:27
mazalNouveau doesn't even show here as it's not nvidia10:28
Kilosuninstall ati and nvidia and use nouveau10:28
Kilosno its in synaptic youll find it10:28
Kilosyou can also remove the nvidia and ati drivers from there10:28
Kilosjust cli synaptic10:29
mazalI hope 13.10 and 14.04 works with ati , then I'll try and work this way again. For now will just use two different os's10:31
Kilosget the company to get some nvidia cards10:31
mazalOi , oom jy praat van 6 maande se werk10:32
Kilosor even try the onboard socket10:32
Kiloscant remember you might need to remove the graphics card though10:33

SilverCodeyay, finally managed to fix my tmux issues13:20
Kilosat least someone is winning today13:21
inetproSilverCode: what tmux issues?13:28
SilverCodeinetpro: the first was "dirty" screens. As the window scrolled up, lines wouldn't clear properly13:40
SilverCodeinetpro: turned out to be using the wrong term13:40
SilverCodeinetpro: the second was Shift+Fn keys not being passed through correctly13:41
SilverCodenow if only I could solve my KMail problems13:41
inetproSilverCode: you using tmux directly or via byobu?13:41
SilverCodeinetpro: byobu?13:42
inetprosee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byobu_%28software%2913:43
SilverCodeah, in that case, using tmux directly13:45
SilverCodealthough byobu looks interesting13:46
inetproit is very useful indeed13:47
* inetpro still prefers GNU screen for the backend13:49
inetpromerely because that is what I'm used to13:49
