| litropy | not even root anyhow, I gotta delete those lines so I can get back into linux I'm on the osx partition now. where is the file again? |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | litropy hmm, try googling for help, I know that you need to make that say 'direct rendering: yes' when you type glxinfo | grep direct |
| _StefanS_ | dettoaltrimenti_: maybe you need the linux-restricted-drivers hmm maybe not, when I come to think of it |
| litropy | okay. but I need to modify the file back to what it was so I can boot into linux |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | it's not me, it's litropy. Maybe you can help him, _StefanS_? |
| _StefanS_ | dettoaltrimenti_: oh sorry :) |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | ok litropy sorry, can you log into the terminal and change the xorg.conf back to what it was? |
| _StefanS_ | litropy: you will not be able to log in directly as root, so thats normal. |
| litropy | yeah, I need the file path, though |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | litropy- the file path is /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| _StefanS_ | litropy: you can also try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg litropy: configure X using a neat gui |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | _StefanS_ - if he is having problems with beryl, and he's using nvidia, does aiglx matter? |
| _StefanS_ | dettoaltrimenti_: well yes because AFAIK nvidia supports AIGLX directly dettoaltrimenti_: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/02/06/install-beryl-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-aiglx-for-nvidia-ubuntu-704/ |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | yeah, when he types glxinfo | grep direct, it turns up Direct rendering: no, and I told him to add a few lines to xorg.conf. That's the right thing to do, right |
| litropy | weird - no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 |
| _StefanS_ | litropy: just generate a new one litropy: using the command I gave you |
| litropy | _StefanS_: sudo: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found I'm in OSX by the way |
| _StefanS_ | litropy: you're in OSX? |
| litropy | until I can get linux to boot again |
| johnt | Do the people who are helping litropy know there are a number of nvidia drivers in the gui synaptic package manager?/ Seach GLX |
| _StefanS_ | litropy: oh, ok johnt: nvidia-glx yes |
| johnt | OK |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | litropy- can you do a 'safe boot' and get to a terminal? |
| _StefanS_ | litropy: see if there's a backup of the previous xorg.conf somewhere dettoaltrimenti_: he should. |
| SuperSub | can anyone help me with enlightenment? |
| litropy | how do I safe boot |
| dettoaltrimenti_ | _StefanS_ can he chroot from osx? |
| dromer | and can someone else help me with my usb-issue? ;) |
| _StefanS_ | dettoaltrimenti_: hmm yes actually you should be able to do that |
