[01:26] <GWild> I'm running 10.04 LTS w/ NVidia video and chipset.
[01:26] <GWild> My video resolution will not go higher than 640x480
[01:26] <GWild> any ideas/
[01:26] <GWild> any ideas?
[01:29] <szal> GWild: sudo glxinfo | grep -i render
[01:31] <GWild> szal: hmm, glxinfo not installed
[01:31] <GWild> let me install it
[01:33] <GWild> szal: What am I looking for?
[01:33] <szal> GWild: where?
[01:33] <GWild> szal: in the glxinfo output
[01:34] <szal> GWild: that what comes up w/ the grep pipe, that isn't there for nothing ;)
[01:35] <GWild> szal: Let me rephrase.  What it the output of the glxinfo command supposed to tell me?
[01:36] <szal> GWild: let me rephrase: the above line I gave you is _one_ command
[01:36] <GWild> szal: I understand that and I have run the command
[01:36] <szal> that should output a handful of lines, and it won't be too hard to put them on a pastebin, I guess ^^
[01:37] <GWild> understood
[01:38] <GWild> szal: http://pastebin.com/KZwDbz1F
[01:39] <szal> GWild: that answers the question whether the system is actually using the nVidia driver with 'yes'
[01:40] <GWild> ok
[01:40] <szal> GWild: did you run 'nvidia-settings'?
[01:41] <GWild> szal: Yes.  It will allow setting 320x240 and 640x480.
[01:43] <szal> sounds a bit unlikely for a GF7..
[01:43]  * szal would at that point suggest trying to boot with 'edd=on' as additional boot parameter
[01:44] <GWild> ok.  I'll try that.  Thanks for the input.
[01:44] <szal> if that fixes it, put that parameter in /etc/default/grub in the line that starts with 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' and run 'sudo update-grub'
[01:45] <GWild> ok
[01:59] <commodore64> I tried installing kubuntu over ubuntu 11.04 but when I rebooted I got fatal IO error 11. Can anyone help with this?
[02:00]  * szal wouldn't try running *buntu on a C64 :D
[02:00] <commodore64> *facepalm*
[02:02] <commodore64> "Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.XO-lock and start again.
[02:27] <Walzmyn> I've got everything in CUPS set to have one printer to default, but the other printer keeps coming up everytime I try to print, I have to select the printer I want.

[05:04] <LINKSWORD2> Good day, all....
[05:09] <LINKSWORD2> So... Who all is here?
[05:10] <LINKSWORD2> $ns
[05:10] <LINKSWORD2> D'oh!
[05:22] <joedj_> hey folks. i'm on kubuntu 9.04 and my repos have disappeared. can anyone suggest the simplest way to update to something that still exists, without losing my stuff?
[05:24] <joedj_> or, can anyone tell me what the GUI package manager I likely have installed is?
[05:26] <joedj_> ah damnit, found kpackagekit but it can't update from jaunty to lucid :(
[05:32] <LINKSWORD2> Hmm.... Hang on.
[05:33] <LINKSWORD2> 9.04 is Karmic, is it not?
[05:34] <joedj_> i don't think so. 9.10 is Karmic
[05:34] <LINKSWORD2> Ok.
[05:34] <LINKSWORD2> Let's open up the system terminal.
[05:34] <LINKSWORD2> You likely have Konsole, I believe.
[05:34] <joedj_> sure
[05:35] <joedj_> (i'm not a noob, i just don't use the GUI much and i don't have e.g. menus, so I can't follow instructions like "Start System/Administration/Update Manager" (from the wiki))
[05:36] <LINKSWORD2> OK.
[05:36] <LINKSWORD2> I'm trying to figure this out from a non-GUI perspective.
[05:36] <LINKSWORD2> Let's see what I can do for you.
[05:36] <joedj_> thanks =P
[05:37] <joedj_> i'm a bit hesitant to just change my apt sources to something newer and do a dist-upgrade...
[05:37] <LINKSWORD2> I would, honestly.
[05:38] <LINKSWORD2> I started out with 9.10, and began looking at the newer distros online, in various preview pages, etc.
[05:38] <LINKSWORD2> From there, I decided to download 10.10 and then upgrade via CD at that point.
[05:39] <joedj_> i was quite excited to hear that ubuntu was going to switch to rolling releases (as reported by e.g. slashdot), turns out it wasn't true :(
[05:39] <LINKSWORD2> Once I got my network working properly, I was able to upgrade to 11.04 via the link in the system notifier.
[05:39] <LINKSWORD2> Anyway... Skipping ahead.
[05:40] <LINKSWORD2> !update
[05:40] <ubottu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[05:41] <joedj_> ubottu: those instructions don't really help me
[05:41] <ubottu> joedj_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[05:41] <joedj_> ugh =P
[05:42] <LINKSWORD2> lol
[05:42] <LINKSWORD2> joedj_: I submitted the request for those instructions.
[05:42] <LINKSWORD2> Did you follow either of the links provided?
[05:43] <joedj_> yes, but they only really provide comic relief :)
[05:43] <joedj_> e.g. "Be sure that you have all updates applied to Ubuntu 9.04 before you upgrade."
[05:44] <joedj_> how do you do that when the repos are gone?
[05:45] <LINKSWORD2> I do not have that information at the moment. Let me look around and I'll see if I can find something for you.
[05:47] <joedj_> s'ok, i'll try the dist-upgrade and see how it goes. if it all goes to hell i'll just find another machine and get the stuff i care about off the old disk
[05:48] <LINKSWORD2> I'm sorry, I can't find what I'm looking for.
[05:48] <LINKSWORD2> Problem is, I should know this... >.>
[05:48] <LINKSWORD2> joedj_: try "sudo apt-get install release-update"
[05:49] <DarkwingDuck> Hey LINKSWORD2
[05:49] <LINKSWORD2> Dark! Perfect timing.
[05:49] <LINKSWORD2> I'm trying to help joedj_ update his system and I just hit a mind-blank moment.
[05:50] <DarkwingDuck> Ahh hah.
[05:50] <DarkwingDuck> What can I do to help?
[05:50] <LINKSWORD2> Help him upgrade.
[05:50] <LINKSWORD2> Unless you have a harddrive I can stick in the back of my head. lol
[05:52] <DarkwingDuck> joedj_: open terminal
[05:52] <DarkwingDuck> joedj_: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
[05:52] <DarkwingDuck> joedj_: sudo do-release-upgrade
[05:54] <LINKSWORD2> ... Now I feel stupid.
[05:57] <DarkwingDuck> :) Naww, I've been doing it for years.
[05:59] <joedj_> DarkwingDuck: heheh. i can't apt-get install anything. the 9.04 repos are gone
[06:00] <joedj_> doh. i have do-release-upgrade, but it's too late now, the dist-upgrade is already running
[06:00] <DarkwingDuck> Okay.
[06:00] <joedj_> thanks, fingers crossed :)
[06:00] <DarkwingDuck> dist-upgrade should work.
[06:01] <DarkwingDuck> :)
[06:01] <LINKSWORD2> DarkwingDuck: You usually don't mind if I one-on-one with ya, but I figure it's always a good idea to ask.
[06:01] <LINKSWORD2> xD
[06:01] <LINKSWORD2> May I?
[06:02] <DarkwingDuck> Go for it.
[07:00] <LINKSWORD2> This is gonna be a LONG night...
[07:01] <LINKSWORD2> I'm signing off.

[12:50] <ironfroggy> Does anyone know why a fresh install of the latest dvd will leave me with a system that refuses to install the google-chrome packages?
[12:50] <ironfroggy> it tells me "dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-0d" when i try
[13:06] <szal> ironfroggy: what DVD?
[13:08] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[13:13] <ironfroggy> szal: 11.04 64-bit desktop dvd
[13:13] <MadRobot> Hi all.
[13:14] <MadRobot> I'm trying to install TweetDeck, and the installation was successful, but it's not getting along with Kwallet for some reason. How do I fix that?
[13:16] <szal> ironfroggy: never heard of, where did you get that from?
[13:16] <Pici> MadRobot: This isn't a real answer to your question, but.... Adobe is going to be discontinuing Air for Linux. I personally use TweetDeck's chrome app. I think they have a general web interface in beta as well.
[13:17] <ironfroggy> szal: from kubuntu.org
[13:17] <ironfroggy> i dont really see how that part matters. my point was that it was a fresh install of 11.04
[13:17] <ironfroggy> but i have to go now. i'll figure it out later.
[13:18] <MadRobot> Pici: They're discontinuing AIR for Linux? That's great! I've never really liked Adobe anyway, but TweetDeck is just awesome.
[13:18] <ironfroggy> Pici: they are? any link to an announcement? that's terrible news.
[13:19] <Pici> MadRobot: See https://www.tweetdeck.com/api/webbeta/
[13:19] <Pici> ironfroggy: let me find it...
[13:19] <ironfroggy> found it. well, i started to get some respect for them and now thats falling out the window. what a shame.
[13:20] <Pici> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/17/adobe_backs_off_air_for_linux/
[13:20]  * BluesKaj cringes ,TweetDeck awsome ? ...God help us all :)
[13:20] <ironfroggy> well they are exactly discontinuing it they just are supporting it directly, but rather suipporting the base code for others to integrate into different distributions.
[13:20] <ironfroggy> later eveyrone
[13:21] <Pici> Its a bit of a weird move.
[13:23] <david___> hi
[13:24] <david___> i installed KDE on Ubuntu

[13:24] <MadRobot> Pici: That's not the issue I'm facing, however. AdobeAIR is installed on my machine, and so is TweetDeck. But it's having a trouble findng and storing passwords (it's a problem with Kwallet, most probably).

[16:10] <BluesKaj> KeyboardCat_, ,if you need to, yes

[19:12] <Hagbard1> Hi - I'm having issues logging back into KDE after restoring my system. Essentially KDM runs fine, but when I log in as a user it just pauses and then kicks me back out to KDM. This is a new user with an empty homedir.
[19:13] <Hagbard1> .Xauthority is empty and .xsession-errors says:
[19:13] <Hagbard1> open: Permission denied
[19:13] <Hagbard1> (but with no clue as to what was being opened and what was denied :( )

[20:01] <tranquilwaters_> good evening
[20:14] <tranquilwaters_> I read that kubuntu will get a tablet version too in the future
[20:15] <tranquilwaters_> any chance it will work on an Acer A500 then?
[20:15] <tranquilwaters_> I'm thinking of getting one of those :-)

[20:48] <genii-around> tranquilwaters_: Kubuntu can be used with different plasma workspaces like desktop or netbook. But the problem is the processor. Right now there is not a port of Natty Narwhal to the ARM architechture, but probably soon. ( the Tegra 2 is an ARM cpu)
[20:48] <tranquilwaters_> ah ok
[20:49] <tranquilwaters_> I read a news item about 11.10
[20:49] <tranquilwaters_> somewhere...
[20:49] <genii-around> tranquilwaters_: Maverick Meerkat has an ARM port, perhaps you could try it to see
[20:49] <tranquilwaters_> there's no hurry
[20:49] <tranquilwaters_> I don't own the tablet yet
[20:49] <tranquilwaters_> but I plan on buying one this week, and the A500 seems nive
[20:49] <tranquilwaters_> nice*
[20:50] <tranquilwaters_> it would be very cool if I could dualboot Android and Kubuntu on it
[20:51] <tranquilwaters_> I'll try it out though :-) thanks!
[20:52] <tranquilwaters_> oh btw: I installed ubuntu-software centre on my kubuntu, because I read that you could buy linux games in it now
[20:52] <tranquilwaters_> but the purchase-section is empty
[20:53] <tranquilwaters_> :-( Can't I get any games because I like KDE better than gnome? :-/ I thought that both buntu's were pretty much the same under the hood? So why the difference?
[21:36] <petete> what do you mean? you can install the same games with (k)ubuntu

[22:10] <LINKSWORD2> Greetings, all...
[22:11] <HansMeier> Greetings
[22:20] <Linkmaster> anyone know of where I can find the helvetica font to install on my system?
[22:23] <LINKSWORD2> Helvetica is a Windows font, if I recall correctly.
[22:24] <LINKSWORD2> However, you may be able to find a derivative font.
[22:25] <LINKSWORD2> Linkmaster: http://www.linotype.com/526/helvetica-family.html
[22:26] <Linkmaster> LINKSWORD2: I knew it was Windows, I just was wondering if it was ever ported/recreated
[22:27] <Linkmaster> well this is depressing. I'll just find something that looks similar to it
[22:27] <LINKSWORD2> I don't really know. But if it's an option, it might be on that linotype website.
[22:27]  * Linkmaster has no monies
[22:28] <LINKSWORD2> Heh. I installed Linux on my computer because I couldn't afford another copy of WXP.
[22:28] <LINKSWORD2> And I thought it might be an interesting experiment. (To which I find true.)
[22:31] <LINKSWORD2> Linkmaster: I may have a solution for you.
[22:31] <Linkmaster> I'm listening?
[22:32] <LINKSWORD2> http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Font-HOWTO/#fonts
[22:33] <LINKSWORD2> Scroll down a bit and click on the index listing for Webcore Fonts.
[22:33] <LINKSWORD2> I'll let you read the article in that section and decide for yourself if you want it or not.
[22:35] <Linkmaster> Hmm, interesting
[22:44] <LINKSWORD2> Well, Linkmaster, I hope that works.
[22:44] <LINKSWORD2> Sorry I can't stick around. I've got to make a late run to town, and be up at 4 AM tomorrow.

[22:50] <FloodBotK2> !netsplit
[22:50] <ubottu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[22:52] <IQ-9> hello all, I just installed Kubuntu. My desktop has an nvidia geforce 9800 with twin screens. For some reason the /etc/x11/xorg.conf will not save the settings
[22:52] <IQ-9> Any ideas?
[22:52] <ironfroggy> how arte you trying to save them?
[22:52] <IQ-9> ironfroggy, Via the GUI, "Save to X configuration file"
[22:54] <ironfroggy> are you running that as root?
[22:54] <IQ-9> I also googled and tried to run the nvidia x server settings through command line as root, no dice there either
