I just thought it was odd that is says "ironlake mobile" [00:11] Beldar: other than that, my laptop runs fine. [00:12] shahan, Here is the google search on that, have fun. ;) https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=ironlake+mobile&gbv=1&sei=SY4KU4-oCYOIogSntYHwAQ [00:12] nicy, What files and why?

[00:19] i cant, anyway,im on my laptop now. my PC has the problem [00:19] BigTaxi, This are no named kernels [00:19] not* [00:19] Beldar: Looks to me that is what he wants.... Just telling him how ... [00:20] Can anyone tell me, IS the MacBook Air 1,1 compatible with installing Ubuntu 13.0? [00:20] Sorry i was searching in the web [00:20] usr13, I see that no where, and if you suggest it you should include the problems associated. [00:20] pistols, patience, when somebody can answer, they will [00:20] Thank you [00:20] There's actually a lot of stuff on the internet about how to solve it, but im doing something wrong and getting desperate [00:21] Beldar: Not sure what you are trying to say. [00:22] Beldar: ... and not sure you do either ... [00:22] the are some folders in root and i want to copy them in usb HOW [00:22] The first step is to purge ALL nvidia drivers.How do I do that? [00:22] usr13, This channel does not suggest proprietary drivers unless that is the only option is my point, or they are in the additional drivers options. And if you suggest a proprietary you would mention that they in general do not follow kernel upgrades. [00:22] anybody got an idea of what's going on with ubuntu one? [00:22] HELP pleaseee [00:23] usr13, You can keep the snarkiness ti yourself by the way [00:23] nicy, you'll have to wait til sombody who's got an idea of how to help you comes around. this is an irc, after all. [00:24] nicy, I asked you a simple question on this. [00:24] Beldar: Are you not interested in the PM I sent you. (And it appears to be, you initiated the "snarky" comments.) [00:24] What is it ??

[00:27] Beldar: With apt, just uninstall them. [00:27] nicy, Give some context as to what the file are, why and if you need permissions kept at the least [00:27] BigTaxi: With apt, just uninstall them.

[00:31] Anyone? [00:32] nicy, When asked what the file are you answer with " videos and some rar files" [00:32] newbie44, you need to ask and give it some time [00:32] yes [00:32] nicy, Why would this e be in root? [00:33] those* [00:33] i did that [00:33] i've gotten rid of a kernel module, and now it says NVIDIA: could not open the device file [00:33] nicy, Are you running in root? [00:33] NO [00:34] BigTaxi: What says "could not open the device file"? [00:34] nicy, Then why did you put them there, just makes no sense form here is all. [00:34] from* [00:34] I copied them by mistake [00:34] NVIDIA. I'm booting to a terminal instead of a GUI [00:34] uh... when i pput in startx, thats the error [00:34] nicy, Sorry I just don;t understand your end goal here is all. [00:35] der0b: thats not it , it says refer to the log in the same directory [00:35] this is after i removed the update that caused all this... now i only have an ancient prop driver [00:35] nicy, gksudo nautilus open as root, be very careful.

[00:37] BigTaxi: Are you booted into the Graphic User Interface? [00:37] No. [00:37] usr13 no [00:38] BigTaxi: So what do you have? [00:38] nicy, Trying to understand what you had done and what the end goal is, you have made no sense so far. [00:38] Currently, a back and white terminal-esque thing [00:38] that errors when I input 'startx' [00:39] also, how do I do your name on the chat? [00:39] BigTaxi: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf #What does that say? [00:39] no such file or directory [00:39] BigTaxi: Good. [00:40] nicy, You seem to have been messing around in a way you should not and now want it fixed, but can't really explain what you have done, nor fix it yourself. ;) [00:40] BigTaxi: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia*list #What does that say? [00:40] Beldar, he made a mistake and doesn't know how to fix it. spanking him for doing so isn't very helpful [00:40] nicy, check your personal message, i'll give you a hand === xubuntu is now known as Guest31234 [00:41] der0b, They asked me why the questions and stated the facts. [00:41] I* [00:41] usr13: that gives me a readout of nvidia 'things'. want them all? [00:41] BigTaxi: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia*list |pastebinit #Show us the URL [00:42] usr13 there is a clear difference- I have nvidia-173 and nvidia-304 [00:42] can't, not this computer [00:42] BigTaxi: So your goal is to uninstall them. Right? [00:42] der0b, I tried to disconnect with a fair I did not understand and still asked for help, read the dialogue. [00:42] was asked* [00:43] just to get it working... unistalling 304 doesnt work. I'm going to try 173, which i believe is proprietary [00:43] BigTaxi: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* [00:43] mind if i interrupt? [00:43] purge it all? [00:43] BigTaxi: Yep [00:44] beldar, i did read it, he's clearly having trouble communicating. just telling him to run a command with root privs and to be careful isn't helpful. i don't have anything else to say on the subject, i'll help him get his files back [00:44] unable to locate packages [00:44] kikjezrous, This is an open channel. [00:44] BigTaxi: sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update [00:45] so oddly enough creting a new install image using the startup disk creator and starting with nomodeset works to get me to a graphical environment :) [00:45] my kernel keeps randomly panicking; it seems graphically related based on the difficulty i had trying to find my drivers and the frequent graphical glitches i get moments before the kernel restarts. additionally, xorg has always been a resource hog, but this has been the case on every machine i've built. it's getting worse, with panics happening at least once a day. thoughts? [00:46] Grzy7316, Cool, I never use unetbootin myself, probably not the issue but glad you are rollin. [00:46] all updates are complete, except some for a game I don't play. [00:46] I've never installed them [00:46] BigTaxi: You've never installed what? [00:46] just updates for the game doom. they are not the problem. [00:47] BigTaxi: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [00:47] Beldar took me bloody long enough to get the image onto my server, as It is setup with no network acess at the moment because I have some highly sensitive business info on it.

[00:49] heres hoping that wiping the windows partition in my install doen't screw me over... [00:49] *raises glass with Grzy7316* [00:49] Grzy7316, It a uefi? [00:49] since tere seems to be no way to get to my uefi stuff without loading into windows [00:49] Beldar yes it is [00:49] BigTaxi: This PC is connected to the internet. Right? [00:49] yes [00:50] Grzy7316, Di you check that thread link I gave you from the ubuntu forums? [00:50] Did* === VoidWhisperer is now known as Guest23094 [00:50] BigTaxi: Good, now go to the PC and type "ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia* |pastebinit" #Hit enter, and shhow us resulting URL [00:50] oh,cool [00:50] ok [00:50] BigTaxi: (Show us resulting URL here) [00:51] but booting with nomodeset seems to get me into a working environment. After I finish this only my gaming rig will be windows based === Dawn_ is now known as Rarity [00:51] Grzy7316, You will still have a gpt partition table is all. [00:51] usr13: i suspect it is, unless he's on the irc from another machine. [00:52] kikjezrous I will raise a glass to you as well. I keep a biottle next to my workstations because of days like today where things refuse to install :) [00:52] yeah [00:52] Grzy7316, I would image that winodows first just to cover your booty, then do a efi install with a gpt table still there. I doubt it is impossible to do a dual boot just the correct way is needed is all. [00:53] I have no problem with removing windows just concerned. [00:54] Beldar I already have a backup image of the HDD. First thing I do when looking to convert a computer to linux [00:54] cool good job Grzy7316 [00:54] I do work in IT for a living. Backup, Backup and backups of the backups [00:55] Beldar Especially when dealing with databases :P Its why I have 3 dummy servers for testing out new sql scripts and whatnot [00:55] I'm just an armchair user, but have some skills I clone and back that up to. [00:55] BigTaxi: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia*list |pastebinit #Send us resulting URL [00:59] sorry about that [00:59] Beldar I kinda stumbled into working IT. Used to be an armchair user myself back when I worked at bestbuy, then a guy came in and offered me a job because I helped his company get a good deal on hardware. I had to learn as I went [01:00] Grzy7316, Not surprised, many IT people are hired do to their skills not any certifications per-say, congrats.

Mind you, I didnt neccesarily have all the skills, just good google-fu and a fast learner [01:01] I just bought a humble bundle and am having trouble getting many of the binaries to work. I think the issue is that they are 32 bit binaries, but I am running saucy 64 bit [01:01] ;) [01:01] IOError error socket error, errno-2 name or service not known [01:02] I guess I need to find and install the 32 bit dependencies manually, but I'm not sure how to find out what they are. [01:02] any suggestions? [01:04] mdgeorge4153, ldd will tell you what libraries the binary is looking for [01:04] can i just type you what it tells me? [01:04] psusi: ldd tells me it's not a dynamically linked executable (although "file" begs to differ) [01:05] BigTaxi: Yep [01:05] BigTaxi: Type away.....

[01:16] BigTaxi: End of life [01:17] BigTaxi: But, here is what you can do. Just uninstall those nvidia packages, (you know which ones they are). Just use dpkg [01:18] BigTaxi: dpkg -r nvidia-what-ever-the-name-is [01:18] ok [01:18] BigTaxi: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia*list [01:18] BigTaxi: Look at the output ^^^^ and use names less .list [01:19] uninstall everything and then what?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:20] BigTaxi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:21] BigTaxi: In other words, if you uninstall the nvidia packages, it should be fixed so that you can boot into the Graphic User Interface again, and you can repair (upgrade) your EOL system from there [01:22] ok,cool [01:22] any idea psusi === drama is now known as douche [01:22] BigTaxi: Sorry, I must correct myself, 13.04 has been EOL since January 27, 2014 (I gave the wrong date earlier.)

[01:25] and on the splash it said 12.04 [01:25] so I'm ok [01:25] BigTaxi: 12.04? [01:25] yep [01:25] it looks very squished and not as crisp [01:25] i got rid of the prop driver [01:25] BigTaxi: lsb_release -a [01:26] BigTaxi: ^^^^^^^^ What does that say?

It went to the splash scvreen then a terminal [01:45] Grzy7316, Use the shift as if you were going to the bios power on and hold it down [01:46] power on then hold it down is what I mean [01:46] I'm still learning how to do those types of things, but i will tell you that it is a Raedon Xpress 200 Series [01:46] is there a ppa for catalyst/drivers ?

[01:47] Grzy7316, Hmm, the default grub file probably needs you to be not logged in but far enough in the boot, like from a tty, not sure on powering off with using the shift. [01:48] Grzy7316: what are you trying to edit it with? [01:48] opened it with vim [01:48] Beldar openmed it with vim [01:48] Grzy7316, I suspect if you still have a got table, you have to have a efi boot partition didi you make one?

[02:01] But the audio point on the tele is audio out only. [02:02] If I dare say it, when I had a windows machine, the audio came through the HDMI straight away. I'm relatively new to Linux, is there not a driver to correct this feature? [02:02] Bobby_, where did you type your question [02:02] Bobby: does your tv have component plugs on the back? [02:02] LinuxPC, what is her question [02:03] so i finally got the bloody grub file open in vim, how would I add a # to comment out a line? [02:03] My question is - I have my Ubuntu computer connected to my TV, via HDMI. Currently no audio runs through it. I would like some help to correct this issue [02:03] And I am a he. [02:03] Bobby: meaning red, pink, green, blue? === Guest23094 is now known as VoidWhisperer [02:03] Bobbie - is the female spelling [02:03] sorry Bobby_ [02:03] Bobby_, HDMI doesn't have audio [02:03] Grzy7316, just type the #?

[02:05] to your pc [02:05] I've seen that before. Component to 3.5mm [02:06] Bobby_, if you are using an hdmi cable plug it into the hdmi spot? [02:06] yep, that is what i had to do, but now it works great [02:06] basketball I'm connected now. HDMI lead to tele and computer [02:07] Bobby_, is it working [02:07] Visual yes. Not audio [02:07]
