| cheeseboy | any ideas? |
| conorkirk1 | oh, i have another question is it possible to write some sort of script that changes the screen resolution before going into a screen saver? |
| sonoftheclayr | conorkirk1: most likely |
| stdin | conorkirk1: possible, yes. easy, no :p |
| conorkirk1 | :) |
| GaiaX11 | stdin: Someone in #ubuntu+1 said that someone from here did it and was luck having problems only with X which was fixed. I am trying to identify who was the luck boy :-) |
| stdin | conorkirk1: and it'll have to be different for kde and gnome sessions |
| cheeseboy | any ideas? |
| conorkirk1 | poor video card cant do screensavers at 1024x768 |
| stdin | GaiaX11: it was probably because the name of the packages xserver-xorg-driver-* changed to xserver-xorg-video-* |
| conorkirk1 | Nvidia GeForce 4 |
| WillLuongo | When I upgraded to Edgy I am no longer able to select 1280 x 1024. Any ideas? |
| GaiaX11 | stdin: so how will I fix this if I have problems only with X? |
| conorkirk1 | willluongo: check xorg.conf maybe |
| Sidey | i gonna feel really stupid in a room with you guys.. |
| conorkirk1 | I do too! |
| cheeseboy | im stupid too |
| stdin | GaiaX11: just install "xserver-xorg-video-all" (after you break it) that should do it GaiaX11: if you don't mind having to reinstall, give it a go (after a backup) |
| Sidey | i need probably simple guidance. I am MS based tech. not linux based, but trying to learn atleast some linux. but hell the simple things are loosing me.. |
| stdin | WillLuongo: try reconfiguring the xserver "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" |
| Sidey | there used to be options to add workgroup, see IP etc under system settings. but be damned if I can find them |
| stdin | Sidey: that's because windows does things the wrong way :p Sidey: System Settings -> Network Settings |
| Sidey | lol.. how true.. but thats how I learned. . had to start somewhere.. just started the wrong way |
| Arwen | is it possible to set a program as fullscreen on only 1 display out of 2? |
| GaiaX11 | stdin: What if I install xserver-xorg-video-all before upgrading? Is it possiblo? |
| Sidey | will look.. I got the machine here. so I dont have 2 run room to room again |
| stdin | GaiaX11: probably not, you'll end up with some weird mix of dapper/feisty packages before upgrade then GaiaX11: a good way to make help things work is to use aptitude to install ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard and kubuntu-desktop, those are the main packages |
| GaiaX11 | stdin: So what do you recommend? Downloading the feisty alternate cd; backing up my data and install from scratch? is it? |
| stdin | GaiaX11: install from scratch will be cleaner (and probably easier), but upgrade is possible too |
| Sidey | well blasted anyway. looks like I got another bad cable. grr geez.. 2 in 1 week @ 100 feet long just sucks |
| stdin | GaiaX11: I'd say do a backup and give upgrade a go, if you can't get it working, then you can install and use your backup |
| flaccid | an apt command available to flush apt cache or downloaded packages etc. ? |
| stdin | fl flaccid: apt-get clean |
| GaiaX11 | stdin: Thx. I will wait for stable; getting the alternate cd; backing up; give a upgrade a go and see what will happen :-) |
