m1kehoaxCrackThis0901:33
m1kehoaxOk sorry to put this up twice but my connection timed out. Good Evening (morning, afternoon, night depending on your 20) I have tried everyway that I know how to run netflix on Kubuntu. I have tried to run pipelight and i have tried to install the ubuntu desktop app for it and I have tried tricking it into thinking i am running windows. Can anyone who is running Kubuntu 14.04 send me to a link or walk me through on how to01:41
m1kehoaxsuccesfully run netflix?01:41
LinusTorvaldIIhmmm does kubuntu have the equivalent of what ubuntu calls "ubuntu restricted extras" in its repository??02:06
m1kehoaxLinusTorvaldII I do belive it does02:13
LinusTorvaldIIwhy did u ctcp ping me02:18
m1kehoaxSorry I am just learning irc. I didnt mean to pester you.02:19
LinusTorvaldIIdoesnt pester me  just wondered why02:19
m1kehoaxWhat does it do?02:20
LinusTorvaldIIbtw didu try installed that pkg  i meantioned?02:20
LinusTorvaldIImentioned?02:20
LinusTorvaldIIin ubuntu that pgk makes a lot of stuff work.02:20
LinusTorvaldIIhas codecs and stuff in there02:20
m1kehoaxLet me look and see if I have it installed.02:21
m1kehoaxIs that something that is already going to be installed or do I need to add it?02:21
LinusTorvaldIIwell tbh in ubuntu u have to add it - i am not sure in kubuntu thats why i asked if they had the equivalent in kubuntu-02:22
LinusTorvaldIIi was hoping someone here who uses it would chime in by now02:23
m1kehoaxI think I saw something like that before but I do not rememebr where I found it.02:23
LinusTorvaldIIi was using it but tbh it wasnt as easy to get stuff working as ubuntu02:23
LinusTorvaldIIi was having a hrad time finding stuff in kubuntu02:23
LinusTorvaldIIhard*02:23
m1kehoaxWell I am not married to Kubuntu I just liked the way it looked maybe I should just start over with Ubuntu? It does seem like there is a lot more info on ubuntu02:24
LinusTorvaldIIalso - if u cannot get the answers u want here linux mint which is ubuntu and does have kde which is just kubuntu - that project ddoes attempt to put ALL codecs and drivers in for u02:25
m1kehoaxI was already thinking of wiping it out and starting over with something different02:25
m1kehoaxI wanted to look at linux mint but could not get it to install properly02:25
LinusTorvaldIIwell for me everything work straight away in ubuntu with that pkd installed02:25
LinusTorvaldIItry this02:26
LinusTorvaldIIlook in kubuntu software center02:26
LinusTorvaldIItype in the word restricted02:26
LinusTorvaldIIsee if it comes up02:26
LinusTorvaldIIor...in a terminal...i think the command was like....sudo apt-get install _____________restrictedextras02:27
LinusTorvaldIIif they have it in the software center should come up when u type in something like restrcted extras02:29
m1kehoaxI tried to install it, I guess I alreadyy have now I just hae to find it!02:29
LinusTorvaldIIwell ifu already installed it then the codecs are installed02:30
m1kehoaxok02:30
LinusTorvaldIIhave u tried netflix since that02:30
LinusTorvaldIIhow do u know  u already installed it?02:31
LinusTorvaldIIin software center there is usually an option showing installed software02:31
LinusTorvaldIIu can look there02:31
LinusTorvaldIIits near top of menu02:31
m1kehoaxWhen I tried to install it i gt this message "kubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version."02:32
LinusTorvaldIIok02:32
LinusTorvaldIIru fully uptodate?02:33
m1kehoaxI think I am up to dayte. I ran sudo apt-get update this afternoon.02:34
LinusTorvaldIIu can open terminal and run    sudo apt-get upgrade     let it run     then sudo apt-get update02:34
m1kehoaxI am in my software center and I am not finding the restricted extras02:34
LinusTorvaldIItype in search the work kubuntu02:34
LinusTorvaldIIword*02:34
LinusTorvaldIIor restricted02:35
LinusTorvaldIIor extras02:35
LinusTorvaldIIor all of em02:35
m1kehoaxI tried both of those and nothing came up.02:35
LinusTorvaldIIor look where it says "installed software"02:35
LinusTorvaldIIotherwise try in the terminal to get it02:35
m1kehoaxI found where I installed ubuntus reistricted extras but I guess it doesn't cross over. I am going to keep looking for the kubuntu02:36
LinusTorvaldIIima ask in ubuntu02:36
m1kehoaxthanks for all of your help02:37
LinusTorvaldIIin ubuntu they say itssupposed to work02:38
LinusTorvaldIIru sure it is installed?02:38
LinusTorvaldIIu seemd a lil vague02:38
LinusTorvaldIIlemme ask u this: can u go to youtube and play a video there?02:39
m1kehoaxYes I found that I do have it installed. I can play youtube vids02:40
LinusTorvaldIIhmmm02:41
LinusTorvaldIIbut u cannot play amovie in netfilx02:41
LinusTorvaldIIwtf02:41
m1kehoaxNo it tells me I need silverlight and I already enabled silverlight through pipelight02:41
LinusTorvaldIIahh so it wants u to install wine02:41
m1kehoaxWTF is what I am screaming right now at my computer!02:41
=== libercito is now known as Libertcharrua
LinusTorvaldIIso what ur telling me is freakin netfix is configured to only run in windows OS...if u need silverlight that windows which means u need to learn how to run wine --as far as i know.02:42
LinusTorvaldIIi know my wife watched netflix on her mac02:43
=== mike is now known as Guest7542
LinusTorvaldIIi guess i dont know sound slike pipelight is supposed to do it02:43
Guest7542Yeah from everything I am reading I followed every step (at least twice) and I should be geeking out on some Walking Dead right now but Kubuntu is being a PITA02:44
Guest7542Yeah Pipelight is supposed to "backdoor" silverlight with a wine patch that will make it work. Netflix is supposed to switching to HTML5 and once that is done we should be over all this playying with Microsofts shinannigans02:46
LinusTorvaldIIyeah-02:46
LinusTorvaldIIit can be a real fkkin hassle02:46
LinusTorvaldIIhah mike took off he is psssed off02:47
LinusTorvaldIIcant blame him02:47
Guest7542I think I am going to just start over with Kubuntu and then I can add a KDE type user interface that will look all prettyy02:47
Guest7542oh don't worry i am still here jsut with myy jankyy internet connection it will time out and drop out on me from time to time.02:48
LinusTorvaldIIok02:48
Guest7542Haha it logged me back in as a gues02:48
Guest7542guest02:48
LinusTorvaldIIoic02:48
=== Guest7542 is now known as m1kehoax
LinusTorvaldIIso this issue is prolly same in ubuntu even then02:49
m1kehoaxWell you are running ubuntu correct?02:49
LinusTorvaldIIbut lemme give u example of something i suffered with tha tubuntu fixed immediately...02:49
LinusTorvaldIIi was using a lot of these ditros in my vm...02:49
m1kehoaxVM = Virtual Machine?02:50
LinusTorvaldIIand i could not EVER wit hany distro EXCEPT ubuntu burn a dvd ....in VM02:50
LinusTorvaldIIyes02:50
LinusTorvaldIIi tried ever damn one almost02:50
LinusTorvaldIIONLY ubuntu would burn a dvd in a VM02:50
LinusTorvaldIIdrive me insane cuz i was tryin to like kubuntu and a few others02:51
m1kehoaxSo my understanding is Ubuntu is the "parent" distro and the rest of the flavors are someone elses tweeks? So in working theory Ubuntu should be the most stable and BS free02:51
LinusTorvaldIInot mint not kubuntu not deepin not fedora debian none02:51
LinusTorvaldIIwell i really am not sure mike but i came in here askin how this is even possible02:52
LinusTorvaldIIi never got answer in any channe;02:52
m1kehoaxYeah I really like the layout of Kubuntu because it is familiar to a lifelong windows guy but I think if I jsut used Ubuntu like I have tried to use Kubuntu I would already be right at home02:52
LinusTorvaldIIwell maybe your issue wont be fixed who knows02:52
LinusTorvaldIIbut unity is extreme;y easy to use02:53
LinusTorvaldIIcrazy easy02:53
LinusTorvaldIIwhen in doubt the search bar finds it for u anyway02:53
m1kehoaxI think that is what I am going to do tomorrow I will take my laptop to work and use our highspeed to replace kubuntu with ubuntu02:53
LinusTorvaldIIi even found ubuntu to beat mint at just doing everything straight away i also had issue installing mint a few times02:54
m1kehoaxYeah, I was just worried about not beign able to use my computer (which windows failed me for nearly 20 years) so I wanted to see somethign familiar02:54
LinusTorvaldII2nd best for me has been fedora02:54
m1kehoaxI think Ubuntu will be the best bet. Isn't ubuntu based off debian?02:55
LinusTorvaldIIwell debian unstable02:55
m1kehoaxwhat does that mean?02:55
LinusTorvaldIIdebian is all older stuff that is totally proven02:55
LinusTorvaldIIubuntu isnt afraid of the new stuff02:55
LinusTorvaldIIhehe02:55
m1kehoaxbrb gonna find myy OS installation drive with ubuntu on it.02:56
LinusTorvaldIIoncein awhile it freezes or something no biggie02:56
LinusTorvaldIIwhat would be cool is if they had ubuntu unity stable!!!02:56
LinusTorvaldIIhehe02:57
m1kehoaxSo we get the cool stuff but it comes at a price of finding the glitches02:57
LinusTorvaldIIhaha02:58
LinusTorvaldIIbut02:58
LinusTorvaldIIthe ubuntu LTS version are pretty damn good02:58
LinusTorvaldIIjust dont take the lil ones in between02:59
LinusTorvaldIIwell my opinion02:59
LinusTorvaldIIor02:59
LinusTorvaldIIlearn DEBIAN02:59
LinusTorvaldIIlil harder to use but once u ge the stuff u need installed...02:59
LinusTorvaldIIit may the best in the world02:59
LinusTorvaldIIROCK STABLE02:59
LinusTorvaldIIboring stable02:59
LinusTorvaldIIfast too really fast03:00
LinusTorvaldIIubuntu is so easy to use  i once helped a lady in australia get it-she was a virus magent- it was weird - i never had to really teach her how to use it03:02
LinusTorvaldIIshe just got it03:02
LinusTorvaldIIboom03:02
LinusTorvaldIIi told her a few things but then she never needed me again03:02
m1kehoaxCool i may tryy to run Debian then. Does it have GUI or is it all terminal?03:05
LinusTorvaldIInice gui03:05
LinusTorvaldIIgorgeous no BS gui03:05
m1kehoaxI dont need the latest greatest just stabe and reliable performance. I use my cmputer for 75% netflix 25% FB and sometimes I check my email :)03:06
LinusTorvaldIIlike the old w98 syle menus in a way but they drop down from top of screen03:06
LinusTorvaldIIi had to llok a couple things up when i started with it and i still cant say i know it but it becomes apparant very quickly its amazing powerhouse distro03:07
LinusTorvaldIIlook*03:07
ap0cKubuntu 14.04.1 LTS is nice , if you want stable it'll be supported for the next 5 years03:08
LinusTorvaldIIhe cant make netflic work in it and noone is answering03:09
LinusTorvaldIIand it is his main thing03:09
m1kehoaxif it doesnt work Netflix I can't bear to use it no matter how slick or stable it is :)03:09
m1kehoaxap0c if you can get netflix to work on my laptop I might have to change my last name to ap0c and marry you :) we could have beautiful children!03:10
ap0cdid you try installing pipelight?03:11
m1kehoaxyes I have it telling me I need silverlight and I alreadyy enabled it03:11
ap0cthis is what someone on the ubuntu forums did -03:11
ap0csudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable03:11
ap0csudo apt-get update03:11
ap0csudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi03:12
m1kehoaxyeah I already went through that :903:12
ap0csudo pipelight-plugin --update03:12
ap0csudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight03:12
ap0cdid you try that already?03:12
ap0c(the whole thing)03:12
* LinusTorvaldII starts doing jumping jacks....03:13
m1kehoaxI tried somethingsimilar let me see if this is any different03:13
m1kehoax:( nope still telling me I need silverlight :(03:14
m1kehoaxMy terminal says it is enabled03:14
ap0chttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/uacontrol/03:15
ap0cI guess you need that addon to trick Firefox, to spoof your User-Agent string to look like you're running on windows03:15
ap0cthread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224784403:16
m1kehoaxI am using the user-agent on chrome but let me see if it is any different on firefox03:16
m1kehoaxwell firefox is doing a lot of updating so it may be installing the packages I need.03:17
* ap0c prays to Tux03:18
m1kehoaxugh 17mb of updates... I love living in the country but I miss my 30MBS internet connection from when I lived in town03:18
ap0cthat would take like 8 seconds here03:19
ap0cmaybe 5-603:19
m1kehoaxIyts not as bad as dial up but its 3mbs with out anyone else and my daughter i watching kids shows on netlix03:19
ap0cI have 3 megabytes / s download speed usually03:19
m1kehoaxstill wating... :)03:20
m1kehoaxI have the final Jeopardy music playing in my head :)03:20
m1kehoaxHey we might be on to something! It is installing pipelight03:24
m1kehoaxok so installed the UA but I am not sure how to use it!03:26
ap0cmikehoax: go to about:addons in your browser, or press alt and go add-ons under tools, or ctrl + shift + a in firefox03:31
ap0cfind the program (should be in extensions) and go to your preferences03:31
ap0cI don't use the add-on / pipelight, so I don't know how to use it - but that's how you edit most app settings in firefox03:32
ap0cI just go to third-party sites that host links to streaming content usually, like solarmovie.so03:32
m1kehoaxI just dont know of any other streaming sites that I trust03:34
m1kehoaxThank you for your help ap0c. It is bed time for me so I am going to go to sleep. I will tryy to fiddle with this some more tomorry... If I don't wipe it all out by then and start over with debian.03:37

romberHi all, I use dual monitor on my laptop. Is there a way to stop mouse cursor on the monitor edge rather than move to another screen?07:33
valoriehow would you use the mouse on the other screen then?07:34
lordievaderromber: You can run them as two seperate desktops, but that kind of defeats the point.07:35
romberI use virtual box and run another system on another monitor07:36
romberit has another keyboard and mouse07:37
romberlordievader: do you mean to run another x session?07:40
lordievaderNot really sure what it exactly does. But there are a few options on how you set up your dual screen.07:41
romberlordievader: where can I get those option ?07:48
lordievaderromber: Usually in the driver configuration.07:52

harry_Hi all, i hope you can help me with the following: after removing the folder .kde with the hope to reset the desktop to default settings, i can't seem to get into the system settings panel. I have done re install of the unity-control-system but no cure by far. Any idea what could be the root cause ?? Thanks in advanve for the help.15:06
lordievaderharry_: Unity-control-system? Removing .kde should remove your kde profile and therefore reset things to default upon re-login.15:06
harry_lordievader: this is clear to me but why i can't open the system settings panel then?15:07
harry_lordievader: i am using kubuntu 14.0415:09
harry_Anyone...??15:11
lordievaderharry_: Open a terminal and run: systemsettings15:11
harry_lordievader:  here is the output15:12

harry_ubottu: thx15:13
ubottuYou're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)15:13
harry_lordievader: it syas at the end: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.15:14
lordievaderharry_: Are you running X?15:14
harry_no15:15
lordievaderharry_: Then how do you suppose to run systemsettings?15:16
harry_lordievader: i mean simply to open it by clicking the icon15:16
lordievaderSo you are running X?15:16
harry_what do you really mean X running?15:17
lordievaderharry_: X is the display server, are you logged into KDE or some other DE?15:17
harry_lordievader: i am logged into KDE indeed15:18
lordievaderSo you are running X ;) How did you open your terminal?15:18
rbergdid you remove .kde while logged into kde?15:18
harry_lordievader: normal through the main menu...15:20
harry_rberg: that's right15:21
lordievaderharry_: Did you log out -> log in after that?15:21
harry_lordievader: yes indeed, also reboot done15:21
harry_lordievader: rberg in my opinion something went wrong during the profile re-creating15:22
rbergharry_: I would start by logging out of kde, hit ctrl-f1, login at txt prompt, rm -r .kde, ctrl-atl-f7, then log back in to kde15:23
rbergif your config wasn't already weird I would do a mv .kde .kde.old instead15:25
harry_rberg: so you think then it will remove the profile completely and re-create the profile correctly.? Would it make sense why the system settings panel is not poping - up?15:25
rbergI think that removing the .kde folder while running kde will cause odd things to happen15:26
harry_rberg: the config was wierd. Actually the reason behind removing the profile is to remove the desktop thema and some other stuff.15:27
rbergsome kde apps keep things in .config and .local/share15:27
harry_rberg: okay, and than ?15:28
harry_rberg: re installing of KDE worth while?15:29
rbergnot unless you messed with system files as root, or manually started removing packages15:30
harry_rberg: is newlly fresh system (well, pretty new)15:31
rbergI would start with what I mentioned above, logout of kde and remove .kde15:31
harry_rberg: okay, do you think it will work through Team Viewer? I am logged in to that machine remotly...15:34
harry_rberg: i guess not, right?15:37
rbergI dont know if you will be able to switch virtual terminals (ctrl-atl-f1) threw team viewer or not.. actually if team viewer is a X app then it will die when you logout .. so no it probably wont work remotely like that.. ssh would work15:40
lordievaderLogin through ssh and issue "sudo chvt 1"15:41
lordievaderHmm, wait.. that will likely not work.15:41
lordievaderI've dealt too much with kvm.15:41
HmpfCBRanyone tried the installer of the current daily with kvm? I get ubi-console-setup error 141 when going from timezone to keyboard all the time (german keyboard). If I ignore it the error, the installer crashes during the installation step.15:43
harry_lordievader:  i am trying to seek ways through ssh15:43

metallicok people, I am pretty pissed off, I hope you can help me with this: I want to run a script from the terminal, when I do ./script-name.sh I get "bash: ./script-name.sh: Permission denied" I tried to modify my rights for this file but apparently I did not do it well, I hope you can tell me how it should be done18:59
metallicI typed "sudo chmod u+x script-name.sh"18:59
metallicbut doing so does not make any changes to my rights as I can see with the "ls -l" command :(19:02
jalomannmetallic: you should run it also with sudo ./script-name.sh19:08
metallicalready tried that :(19:08
metallicls -l still the same19:08
jalomannmetallic: who is the owner of the file?19:09
jalomanndid it ask for a sudo password?19:09
metallicI am the owner, but it is stored in a different partition of the hard drive19:09
metallicjalomann, no it didn't19:10
jalomannif type it with . in the beginning, it runs in local directory.19:10
jalomannIf the file is other hard drive, you must include it in PATH19:11
metallicI know I know19:11
jalomannIs the other hard drive FAT19:12
metallicjalomann, I am at the script's folder right now19:12
metallicyes19:12
metallicvfat to be more precise19:12
metallicdoes it matter?19:12
jalomannThat's the problem. I have noticed that you can set x for FAT.19:12
jalomannYes19:12
metallicI can change my rights for reading and writing but not for executing :/ is weird19:13
metallicjalomann, what do you suggest? Should I just moved it to another place?19:13
jalomannYes. Move you script to a linux file system.19:14
metallic...19:14
metallicjalomann, is there a way to change my right over a file on a fat file system? :) For now I am moving the script but I want to know19:15
krytarikmetallic: You could run it with "bash script-name.sh" too though. :)19:15
jalomannAfaik no. I don't know the exact reason but I noticed this when running scripts on N9.19:16
metallicbut I still have no execution rights over the script :/ that's what I care of krytarik, I am moving it19:16
metallicjalomann, N9¿19:16
jalomannNokia N9 phone19:16
metallicoh19:16
jalomannN9 home directory if FAT19:16
jalomannN9 home directory is FAT19:17
metallicI made it FAT just to make sure every OS on my hard drive would be able to access that partition files :(19:17
jalomannI know the pain.19:18
metallicYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH19:18
metallicI HAVE EXECUTION RIGHTS !!!19:18
metallic:D19:18
metallic*fanfare music sounds*19:18
jalomannNice19:19
metallicI store the commands for my most downloaded programs so that every time I reinstall the OS I do not have to repeat over and over the process. The script makes it for me:) Thanks. From now on I am aware of this19:21
jalomannYou are welcome.19:23

tertui'm trying to repair a hosed Plasma 5 upgrade right now19:58
tertuso far it's been pretty successful but I don't think lightdm will start K19:58
tertui can start K by logging in on a VT and running startx from there though19:58
tertu(i switched back to kde4)19:59
geniitertu: I might try drop to a console and stop lightdm, then sudo install --reinstall lightdm-kde-greeter   and see if it picks up the right desktops which are available20:05
tertuthat seems reasonable.20:07

Zephyr1139 22:05
Zephyr1139How do I enable the debian repository that provides "kubuntu-desktop" ?22:06
Zephyr1139!kubuntu-desktop22:06
ubottuk/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.22:06
rwwZephyr1139: the standard repositories used by Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc. have that repository. Which distribution are you using?22:15
Zephyr1139googling I found this: "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next"22:17
Zephyr1139rww, I am starting with a server installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS22:17
rwwerm, no, you don't want that PPA22:17
rwwZephyr1139: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop should work fine, then22:18
Zephyr1139rww, I tried that already, I still get "E: Unable to locate package kubuntu-desktop"22:20
rwwoh, they moved kubuntu-desktop to universe a while back, didn't they...22:21
rwwZephyr1139: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, enable the universe repositories if they're not enabled22:21
Zephyr1139rww, what is "ppa" and why should I not be using it?22:21
rww!ppa22:21
ubottuA Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge22:21
rwwthat one in particular is beta software22:21
Zephyr1139rww, the only thing showing in that file is this:22:23
Zephyr1139rww, deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 14.04.1 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Release amd64 (20140722.3)/ trusty main restricted22:25
geniiSo there was no network during original install22:26
Zephyr1139genii, there was a network installed via a hardline to the hub (no wireless) did I botch the initial install?22:27
rwwZephyr1139: replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with http://paste.ubuntu.com/8632928/22:27
rwwoptionally using a different mirror from us.archive.ubuntu.com if you're not in the US22:27
rwwthen apt-get update, then it should work fine22:27
geniiZephyr1139: Usually what happens is if it fails to detect a network, it will only enable the CD/DVD as a repository in the sources.list file22:28
Zephyr1139rww, cool lemme try that.  (good ole paste bin sites)22:29
Zephyr1139rww, did that.  Now "sudo update kubuntu-desktop" spits out about 79 lines worth of unmet dependencies22:42
=== dani is now known as Guest4660
Zephyr1139rww, I pasted the results here:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8633105/22:55
geniiZephyr1139: I think you should probably also add trust-backports and multiverse, then sudo apt-get update23:00
Zephyr1139rww, genii, This seams to be a good solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1959492.html23:01
=== RedDeath is now known as Guest23425
Zephyr1139rww, genii, it's churning away with a big install now.23:02
Zephyr1139 !backports23:07
ubottuIf new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging23:07
Zephyr1139rww, did all of that and it appeared to install fully.  Rebooting did not bring up a desktop.23:19
Zephyr1139rww, lsmod | grep nvidia shows that my module is loaded.23:21
Zephyr1139rww, /etc/X11/xorg.conf is missing23:21
Zephyr1139!xorg.conf23:24
ubottuThe /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax.23:24
Zephyr1139rww, nvidia-xconfig doesn't seam to help.23:31
