<1> fhunor: See the url inthe /topic
<2> kill me know
<1> Haha, it was on the disc, wasn't it?
<3> fhunor, please go to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and pay careful attention to the suggestions there. It'll improve your chances of getting a useful answer.
<3> Coma: I'd be surprised if suse doesn't offer a handy packaged nvidia driver compiled against their default kernel
<1> Shadur: I think they used to, but stopped shipping non-gpl kernel drivers recently
<1> Or I've got suse confused with some other distro that announced something along similar lines
<2> now killall gdm isnt working...
<4> shifty_28: is that because gdm isn't running any more?
<2> no
<2> i am just gonna reboot
<2> again..
<1> Uhoh
<1> Brb, got to sit up right and give paws
<2> ok
<2> Coma: Pizbit said something about my kernal headers?
<1> Oh, you might need those too, in order to compile those nvidia drivers
<2> what are they? and how do i install them?
<1> yet again, use yast
<2> there are a bunch of things in the kernel section
<2> LIRC kernel modules maybe?
<1> Lol, no. You only want the kernel headers
<0> any suggestions on a nice OS that would run on a PII 200MHz/64MB RAM ?
<1> Oh, this might come in handy
<4> hmmm. Debian?
<1> shifty_28: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#3
<4> fhunor: Puppy Linux? Damn Small Linux?
<0> Thanks
<1> fhunor: If you want a usable, fullfledged distro, debian. Else go for one of the small distros. Just avoid things like suse/mandrake/fedora
<4> Also count out CentOS
<5> gah!
<4> hm. I ought to look at that nvidia installer thingy.
<4> Mind you, until I get Windows booting successfully, I won't be doing ANYTHING much
<4> Bought two Worms games, but I can't even boot Windows to install them... *sigh* - so I'm rocking around on Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux at the moment... lol.
<6> viking667: You can have my windows machine if ya want.
<4> Tekky: lol. You prepared to ship it to NZ? No? Thought not.
<6> Viking667: On your dime, I'll ship it anywhere ;)
<4> That's exactly my problem. (Among others, mind you). I don't have US$120 to ship a computer ANYwhere.
<6> Hmm. I can think of more productive uses of $120 anyway, methinks
<5> meh.. now this customer basically wants us to override windows's locale system and implement our own..
<4> wlfshmn: ..... huh?
<2> ok problem... nvidia-gfx-kmp-"kernel-flavor" when choosing that package on the ftp there are 3 different ones and on all 3 there is a dependency error cant i cant install any of them
<4> shifty_28: hrm? what's the dep?
<2> just a sec
<5> Viking667: he doesn't like how somethings like the first week of the year is beeing calculated, but doesn't want to fiddle with the registry (where you can alter how windows's cureent locale does this), yet doens't want a general override in our client either..
<6> Viking667: Better response from that.
<5> Viking667: he is just beeing annoying and is getting a big fat "as per design" stamp on his forehead
<4> yeah. True. You got it set to our local voltage? (440KVA)?
<6> Of course. I take all those sorts of things into consideration when handing random electrical objects to random people in random countries that are not my own.
<4> Good, good. Just so I know you're awake.
<2> http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/2576/screenshotvp6.png
<4> naah. Wrapped him in sheep, that ought to prevent a fire, wool being an insulator... <grin>
<2> theres the error
<4> ewww. you made a PICTURE?
<4> you didn't even bother compressing the picture???
<6> or cropping
<1> What's the problem again? :P
<2> i dont know my editing programs too weel
<2> well*
<2> ok problem... nvidia-gfx-kmp-"kernel-flavor" when choosing that package on the ftp there are 3 different ones and on all 3 there is a dependency error cant i cant install any of them
<2> brb
<4> did you click on the plus sign next to the "Do not install ...."?
<2> yeah
<2> same thing came up
<4> *sigh*
<2> ok i said i did
<1> Damn, are all these "user friendly" distros such a pain in the ***?
<2> but i just tried it again and it worked?
<4> must have done something right then.
<2> so now go install those drivers? or is that what i just did?
<4> actually, I have no idea what you just did.
<1> Only the kernel bits. You need the driver for X too
<4> On top of that, I'll have to depart in < 10 minutes
<1> shifty_28: That's probably the "x11-video-nvidia" bit you see
<2> lol i dont know what i was doing... for all i know you just put a remote monitoring program on my computer and can now control it...
<4> uhm, I don't think so. It's a bit more difficult than that.
<2> can you not to /action in here?
<4> of course... /me does something
<7> hmmm.
<7> KIWI! :o)
<4> hello, gal!
<7> *hugs*
<7> hows it?:o)
<2> oh...
<2> hmm
<4> Pretty good, though I'm about to depart.
<2> it wasnt working...
<7> as usually
<4> shifty_28: err, huh?
<7> time difference can be a beep :o)
<2> oh LOL i spelt action wrong
<2> ./aciton thinks about what he just did.... :O
<2> so will my games work now?
<7> no.
<4> Of COURSE not. You have to recompile all your games.
<1> shifty_28: After this all worked, you have to tell X to use the nvidia driver, instead of whatever you were using
<4> lol
<4> I'm sorry, I couldn't resist that legpull.
<2> lol
<2> so recompile the games and it will know to use the nvidia driver? or do i have to do something else?
<4> err, forget I said "recompile the games" - as I said, I was pulling your leg.
<4> But you DO need to reconfigure xorg so it uses the nvidia driver.
<1> shifty_28: Just tell X to use the nvidia driver, restart x and you shoudl eb set
<2> just reboot my computer?
<1> No, how many times do I have to repeat the "tell X to use the nvidia driver" bit?
<4> no no no. Repeat what we said, will you, please?
<2> sorry... i am thinking of where i can find X to tell it that...
<4> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<2> good call :)
<4> look in there, and read the xorg.conf man page
<2> i mean thats why i was thinking
<2> but i didnt want to say it
<1> Hoi cheeksy
<4> Right. I'm out of here.
<7> bye kiwi
<2> Thanks... Peace
<7> :o))
<6> I have a tragic story to relay, of how the world has cheated me (for the moment)
<5> hmm. somsone needs to grow a clue..
<6> Once upon a time, there was a young man named Tekky who happened to be roaming the back alleys of Vancouver
<5> I get send a case form the support center on sri lanka about a brittish customer having a problem. I request access to the database (in-house test database) holding the faulty dataset, and get forwarded to a consultant in england, who forwards me to a consultant in sweden..
<5> so in two days, I have yet to recieve credentials to -begin- examining what is labeled as a "critical" issue
<6> As this man roamed, he noticed a great deal of wonderous things. Homeless people carrying torn girlie magazines, young drunk lovers fornicating behind dumpsters, and even the occasional person talking to themselves in a creepy fashion.
<6> Then, low and behold, a golden light beside a dumpster!
<6> "What is it?" Inquired the young man
<3> Tekky: Please take it to #literarycriticism, thanks.
<6> Shadur: They'll just tell me that I can't write :/
<8> We care?
<5> Depends, is this where Tekky discovers a flasher with a torch?
<3> Tekky: They would be correct.
<6> wlfshmn: Actually, it's where I discovered a fully intact server that someone had left next to a dumpster to be thrown away with the morning trash
