[03:36] <[Relic]> guess I can retry kubuntu in several months; don't see any options for trying it right now
[08:00] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:23] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:28] <Machtin> Heyho. I'm having issues after upgrading to 17.04 with my nvidia card. I'm stuck at 640*480, using nvidia from ppa (378), a panasonic 4k display connected via HDMI and the screen isn't recognized apparently.. xrandr only calls it "default"
[11:28] <Machtin> Any thoughts?
[11:34] <BluesKaj> Machtin, why not use the recommended nvidia driver in system settings>driver-manager?
[11:35] <BluesKaj> Machtin, did you see my post?
[11:37] <Machtin> no, sorry
[11:37] <Machtin> X died on me, BluesKaj :S
[11:38] <BluesKaj> Machtin, why not use the recommended nvidia driver in system settings>driver-manager?
[11:43] <wolfgang> BluesKaj: Sorry again.
[11:44] <BluesKaj> Machtin, did you see my post?
[11:44] <BluesKaj> Machtin, why not use the recommended nvidia driver in system settings>driver-manager?
[11:45] <Machtin> BluesKaj: I wondered whether you meant nouveau
[11:46] <Machtin> currently I'm using xubuntu-desktop as I couldn't figure out how to change font size back to something usable.
[11:47] <Machtin> and here the third-party-driver-page only gives me three options in nvidia and the noveau.. just tried nouveau as well, didn't help.
[11:47] <BluesKaj> not nouveau, which nvida gpu ?
[11:47] <Machtin> GTX 960
[11:48] <BluesKaj> no need for a ppa driver for that card unless the recommended one doesm't work
[11:48] <Machtin> Which one's recommended then if it's not the 'highest' one from the list?
[11:49] <BluesKaj> Machtin, have you looked in system settings>driver manager?
[11:50] <BluesKaj> the recommended driver in system setting is based on youir gpu
[11:50] <Machtin> yes, but there's no "recommended" - just three options for the card.
[11:50] <Machtin> or to be fair: maybe there is, but I don't see it.
[11:51] <BluesKaj> Machtin, where are you looking?
[11:52] <Machtin> system settings -> additional drivers -> additional drivers tab (loosely translated back from my dad's non-English setup)
[11:53] <BluesKaj> which driver do you have installed (nvidia-XXX)?
[11:54] <Machtin> it was 381, now I got nouveau.
[11:55] <Machtin> and when it started not working, it was 375, iirc.
[11:56] <Machtin> BluesKaj: however, I think my monitor might play a vital role here.. cause as mentioned, it doesn't find HDMI on xrandr, just "default"
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Machtin, install the nvidia-375 driver
[12:00] <BluesKaj> 381 is much too new for your gpu
[12:01] <Machtin> okay, will do.
[12:04] <BluesKaj> Machtin, you'll have to delete the ppa from your /etc/apt/sources.list.d file first
[12:05] <BluesKaj> then sudo update and the install nvidia-375
[12:05] <BluesKaj> the=then
[12:16] <Machtin> BluesKaj: modprobe nvidia says it can't find the module..
[12:17] <BluesKaj> Machtin, install dkms
[12:18] <BluesKaj> did you remove the ppa like I sggeste, becuase if you don't that will muck up the works
[12:19] <BluesKaj> then apt update
[12:19] <Machtin> BluesKaj: just rm the graphics stuff in the folder you mentioned - if that's all, then yes.
[12:19] <BluesKaj> update with apt to reconfigure your sources
[12:20] <Machtin> when installing I saw it downloading with apt from something that didn't look ppa
[12:22] <Machtin> BluesKaj: dkms is already there
[12:22] <BluesKaj> good to make sure
[12:24] <Machtin> BluesKaj: got it. :) Thanks.
[12:24] <Machtin> i had to change update-alternatives in order to find the module..
[12:25] <Machtin> but 375 did the trick. Is there a table somewhere where you checked version of driver <> GPU?
[12:41] <Bischoop> Hi
[12:41] <BluesKaj> hi Bischoop
[12:42] <Bischoop> Hi BluesKaj how are you?
[12:42] <Bischoop> Hi claudia_ How you doing?
[12:43] <Bischoop> shit, I cant get on #ubuntu
[12:48] <BluesKaj> the chat or the OS?
[12:50] <viewer|50611> Is anyone running compiz within kubuntu? I change the settings in it but nothing changes..?
[12:51] <viewer|50611> as in window effects, etc
[13:07] <paragon> is amarok redpilled?
[13:19] <paragon> BluesKaj:
[13:19] <paragon> Is Amarok Redpilled???
[13:26] <BluesKaj_> Cobrax, not afaik
[13:29] <BluesKaj> still here, was checking my laptop's irc settings
[13:31] <EldonMcGuinness> @BluesKaj, I seen that too, did not care enough to ask though :P
[13:44]  * BluesKaj wonders if Cobrax knows what the common meaning of redpilled actually means ... politically incorrect is my understanding
[14:08] <jesse__> Dragon player and Amarok don't work, there are no voice and images, how to fix it? thanks.
