semtomreyn: hey let me know if I'm muddying the waters... Might be better if I don't confuse things14:31
tomreynsem: i'm glad you're helping, too, thanks14:31
semGlad to hear it :)14:33
tomreynsem: hope you don't mind me pushing it over to you? i want to have some food and i think you'll be able to help them just fine.14:54
semNot at all! 14:54
semIf it's more complicate than sudo ubuntu-drivers install I'll run into trouble though14:55
tomreyncool, thanks. personally, i'd just try   sudo ubuntu-drivers install     (so try the autoinstall) and hope this selects the right driver series and it just works after reboot14:55
tomreynif this would not work i'd have them    sudo apt purge nvidia*   again and then find out which GPU they actually have: lspci -knnd ::0300 | nc termbin.com 9999 14:56
tomreynand then check the nvidia website to try to understand which driver series they recommend for this very model (which is a pain)14:57
tomreynand then have them install that very series14:57
tomreynso, for example:   sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:53514:57
tomreyngood luck, bbl14:58
tomreynyou can have them run     export LANG=en_US.UTF-8    or just   export LANG=    to get english output, i would think15:01
semlspci isn't showing his nvidia card. At this point I suspect hardware but advised him to try lspci on the live usb and possibly reinstall if that works15:37
tomreynsem: sorry, the command i provided would only list the first gpu. you could have used     lspci -nn | nc termbin.com 9999    instead, this would show all pci devices17:19
semOh well17:40
semI almost asked him to run lspci | grep nvidia just in case because I didn't know what those lspci flags do. But at that point I forged ahead17:42
semI thought he would share the termbin link but he didn't17:43
tomreynthanks for taking over, though17:56
