<0> Hey
<0> Hi
<0> oops never mind, I wil just read the guide :)
<1> hey everyone
<1> if i wanted to change my kernel...would i have to reinstall everything if i do so ?
<1> i currently have the i386 but i have an athlon and think i should get the k7...thoughts ?
<2> efox: no
<2> unless you change - oh
<2> heh
<2> I think you can still run i386 pkgs
<1> so theres no real down side to switchin kernels ?
<3> when i click on run packages to download it opens the file how doi download manually from terminal i dont remember the command :\
<3> new to linux
<2> efox_ if it isn't broken don't mess with it
<2> und3roath what are you talking about
<4> whats the command to show load averages
<4> i forgot it :(
<3> i just need to download a .run file for a driver
<3> like wget or something
<2> und3roath: what are you talking about
<3> haha ok...im on nvidias site to download a driver for linux, it is a a pkg1.run file
<3> when i click it to download it opens the code in a broweser window
<3> i need to download that file to install
<2> if you are using ubuntu you don't want to use that at all
<2> is there a reason you are downloading their driver thing?
<2> (as opposed to their driver thing in a debian package)
<3> well im going to run the xgl
<3> and i dont see my nvida driver in there
<2> do you have the package nvidia-kernel-common
<3> im not sure im new to linux myself
<2> and maybe nvidia-glx
<3> the book only takes me so far
<2> well try installing those two
<3> what would command be in root
<2> apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx
<3> nvidia-glx seemed to load but couldnt find the package for nividia kernal
<2> nvidia-kernel-common?
<2> edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the lines with 'universe' and 'multiverse'
<3> what about the backports
<2> leave those out
<2> or actually don't :)
<3> well, i dont see multiverse
<3> just universe
<2> ok well uncomment that
<2> then try apt-get update and then apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common
<3> ok edit'd and saved
<3> thats all?
<2> no there's more to it but why don't you search for a howto :)
<3> haha trust me!
<3> i have looked everywhere for this info
<3> i have found stuff but alot of it doesnt work
<3> i have spent till 8am last night just getting everything ready
<3> my web server is setup i got that far from docs
<3> just xgl and graphics is the pain
<2> why do you need a web server for this
<2> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia what are you talking about :(
<2> also consider searching for "beryl" (which is another part of what you want - probably)
<3> nice i really appriciate it
<3> but after the steps u took me
<3> i need to edit nvidia-xconfig right
<3> directions tell me sudo nvidia-xconig but that doesnt work
<3> nor does the sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
<2> forget what I told you and just follow the howtos
<2> if you don't have nvidia-xconfig try installing that package
<0> What is Ubunty Edgy, I don't thin kI downloaded that :s
<0> (sorry, I am new to Ubuntu)
<3> ok thanks
<3> so beyond that gxl pretty easy to get working?
<2> it's not terrible but bear in mind it's beta software
<2> it won't be as stable as, say, not-beryl
<2> I think xgl by itself is pretty stable (but it is not what gives you eye candy)\
<3> i want it to look like this video i saw
<5> when will ubuntu get good default fon ts.
<3> well :\ i must of mest up my x server wont start how can i boot to cli
<3> well i followed all instructions
<3> now my xserver wont start
<3> error tells me i didnt edit xorg.conf because it coudlnt find nvidia
<3> i put nividia in there
<6> damn xorg
<6> always causing problems
<6> so u already tried rebuilding xorg
<3> i got it now i think
<3> there we go...
<3> finally
<7> ok so i got this error
<7> root@Linux:/usr/bin# thefuture
<7> gnome-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
<7> root@Linux:/usr/bin# compiz.real: SmcOpenConnection failed: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

<7> Nvidia Present
<7> beryl: SmcOpenConnection failed: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
<7> :\
<2> try xhost +localhost
<2> (as a temporary measure)
<7> it seems every document i find does this all different
<7> and alot of them are outdated
<7> the files dont even exist even after updates
<7> i have been working on this forever
<2> unfortunately I don't remember what walkthrough I used anymore
<2> don't look for xgl - that's too general.
<2> try to follow a walkthrough that tells you about beryl.
<2> One thing you might also consider is get xgl working by itself without beryl OR compiz
<2> then, once it is, run beryl from an xterm after you log in
<7> well i got the beryl-manager up
<7> but dont know how to run it
<7> i get this everytime
<7> Window manager warning: Lost connection to the display ':0.0';
<7> most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
<7> the window manager.

<7> XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
<7> Nvidia Present
<7> beryl: SmcOpenConnection failed: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
<7> beryl: No composite extension
<2> did you try xhost +?
<2> xhost +localhost that is
<7> it added to access list control
<7> and then same thing
<2> work on getting to a normal desktop, then from that launch beryl
<2> once that works, then try to make X launch beryl at startup
<7> yea i have it configured for both
<7> i can choose which one at startup
<2> choose not-beryl, open an xterm, run `beryl`
<2> (in the xterm)
<7> beryl
<7> XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA

<7> beryl: No composite extension
<2> Oh - you don't have xgl
<2> man I have no idea what you did
<7> lol i could of swore i installed it
<2> it all worked okay for me :)
<7> ok
<2> I do this at work so forgive me if I'm not really excited about helping you now
<7> point me to a link if u could one you think will work
<7> i would appriciate it
<7> i have found 3
<7> and all seem to be wrong i have followed step by step
