00:00 <****> It tries, again and again. when am trying to startxfce4 let's say, my only solution is to reboot. When I am trying to start GDM, I take the error "X server disabled"
00:00 <****> but If I do apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx and trying to startx, it's ok. after rebooting.. nothing work
00:00 <****> suppaman: beautiful...thanks...have wireless under linux again
00:00 <****> weird though
00:00 <****> try commenting out the Load "glx" section and see if that changes anything
00:01 <****> drwahl, it works. but I want the glx :-P
00:01 <****> arisv: also, what is the output for: lsmod | grep nv
00:02 <****> drwahl, http://pastebin.ca/837826 the output
00:02 * drwahl tires after eating his 3rd bowl of farfalle alfredo
00:02 <****> uhg, this stuff is so- good, but i think i have had too much :)
00:02 <****> does anyone have experiece with bridging a wired nic with a managed wireless nic? it seems to get me disasociated with the AP
00:02 <****> drwahl, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=214158&postcount=25 is this my solution maybe?
00:03 <****> arisv: that will get you the free driver, but not glx
00:03 <****> err...
00:04 <****> so? any ideas?
00:04 <****> arisv: ya, i'm working on something... lemme finish processing this thought :)
00:04 <****> drwahl, oh sorry, take your ime
00:05 <****> arisv: what card is it
00:05 <****> ?
00:05 <****> nvidia 6600
00:06 <****> have you tried uninstalling the nvidia driver, sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run --uninstall , then reinstalling it?
00:06 <****> arisv : disable nvidia-glx in runlevels
00:06 <****> AMDFreak, how can I do that?
00:06 <****> drwahl: ouch. why are we using the installer script?
00:07 <****> DawnLight: to remove what was installed by it previously
00:07 <****> drwahl: good
00:08 <****> arisv: if you can uninstall the driver, then use module-assistant to reinstall it, you should be good to go
00:08 <****> !tell arisv nvidia
00:08 <****> arisv: rcconf --remove nvida-glx
00:08 <****> drwahl, module-assistant will install the free driver?
00:09 <****> or the one from nvidia's website?
00:09 <****> arisv: it will install the proprietary driver if you have non-free in your sources.list
00:09 <****> arisv: the free one (nv) is already installed. m-a installs the proprietary shite
00:09 <****> aha
00:10 <****> remind me.. m-a auto-install nvidia ?
00:10 <****> Guerin: but nv and nvidia are referred to X modules rather than kernel modules
00:10 <****> I think m-a build the nvidia kernel module
00:10 <****> builds*
00:10 <****> suppaman: wtf?
00:10 <****> suppaman: the x modules *are* kernel modules.
00:10 <****> m-a update & m-a prepare & m-a a-i nvidia
00:10 <****> ok
00:10 <****> hrm... dpgk still down?
00:11 <****> after removing the driver, and after adding non-free in repos
00:11 <****> ok
00:11 <****> @test
00:11 <****> No, guerin, you're not online any more.
00:11 <****> Guerin: the one specified in "Driver" directive ?
00:11 <****> arisv: you may also need to add contrib to the repos
00:11 <****> drwahl, btw "rcconf --remove nvida-glx" is this a solution?
00:11 <****> just to summarize
00:11 <****> what port does apt use ?
00:11 <****> suppaman: yes.
00:11 <****> arisv: could be, i'm not familiar with rcconf
00:11 <****> ok
00:11 <****> Hoxzer: it traverses http or ftp, at your directive.
00:12 <****> drwahl, are u sure that this command is correct?
00:13 <****> arisv: no
00:13 <****> :)
00:13 <****> arisv: since he didn't suggest it, why would he be?
00:13 <****> true
00:13 <****> AMDFreak, what about you?
00:13 <****> if you do regular apt-get upgrades, should debian automatically upgrade to 4.0r2 from 4.0r1?
00:13 <****> ok ok, it is correct :P
00:14 <****> arisv: i know that this is the solution.. so what i should say?
00:14 <****> dlynes: yes, if you have security.d.o set up correctly in sources.list
00:14 <****> Guerin: if it's set up as the default, is that correct?
00:14 <****> ok, thanks AMDFreak let's reboot
00:14 <****> dlynes: the key is that you need to do: apt-get dist-upgrade to get the latest security updates, which are considered new releases
00:14 <****> dlynes: i believe it is the default. You can tell by looking at the output of apt-cache policy
00:15 <****> drwahl: yeah...already tried that...didn't do anything...so i would assume i'm at 4.0r2, then
00:15 <****> dlynes: you should be
00:15 <****> drwahl: cat /etc/debian_version just says 4.0...doesn't say r1 or r2
00:16 <****> dlynes: hmm, i'm not sure about that one... it may not worry about release candidates
00:16 <****> drwahl: i thought 4.0 was a final release, not a release candidate?
00:17 <****> dlynes: meh, i may a little confused, but i think you get the point
00:17 <****> dlynes: it is, r1 and r2 are just point releases
00:17 <****> AMDFreak: rcconf doesnt remove modules does it? it just stops them from loading in the different runlevels, correct?
00:17 <****> ok
00:18 <****> I have a laptop with a Wireless card that required the ipw3945 module installed, but after I got it the USB mouse no longer works, in fact it wasn't even recognized when it was plugged in. Dose anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
00:18 <****> Althaser: does lsusb show anything?
00:18 <****> AMDFreak, now the module is not loaded at all
00:18 <****> I have X with no GLX
00:18 <****> arisv: rcconf just configured the runlevels to load certain modules
00:19 <****> arisv: i dont think that rcconf was the correct tool to get you to where you want to be
00:19 <****> ah, ok
00:19 <****> so am going to do what u told me by module-assistant
00:19 <****> arisv: try removing the driver with the install script, then try m-a
00:19 <****> rcconf removes the symlinks from scripts in /etc/init.d to the runlevels
00:19 <****> drwahl: were you directing that question to me?
00:19 <****> AphisOne: ya
00:20 <****> arisv: is some fact you have to reinstall the driver.. but dont ask why
00:20 <****> drwahl: yes it shows the USB IDE adapter
00:21 <****> AMDFreak: rcconf just configures the runlevels. i believe his driver is messed up or wasnt installed properly, which is why i suggested he use m-a to install the driver
00:21 <****> AphisOne: but not the mouse?
00:21 <****> I have a USB mouse keyboard combo... it shows an entry, but for the entier device...
00:22 <****> AphisOne: lsusb | grep usb what is the output?
00:22 <****> AphisOne: more importantly, does it show usbhid in that output
