thanks Una

how do i upgrade to the current Dapper release - i have a fast internet connection so can download it

i seem to remember i might need to change something in my sources.lst file?

if i download the dev version of dapper presumably it will just auto update to the final version when its out?

thanks

I would get the livecd first realy to make sure it works ok with your hardware. I think they have actauly included an installer in the livecd now. So you could install direct from inside that. Still wont fix your nvidia problems you will still need to install as guide

But if you want to update while inside breezy.

You just change everything with breezy to dapper in your /etc/apt/sources.list and then do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and sudo apt-get upgrade.Thats it

Yeah it will just update to the final version when its out.

cheers

if you're still having trouble closing X try typing 'top' into a root terminal. Then looking for a process called X then type 'kill' followed by the PID (process ID).
Think of top as a commandline version of taskmanager you have in windows.

No idea about courses. I do computer science at Uni so we use it pretty much all the time. However I been using it for quite a few years now on and off. You just need plenty of time to mess about with things, and be willing to read the net

.

irc.freenode.org / #ubuntu and www.ubuntuforums.org are pretty decent, I think there's a noobies forum

glad you recommended trying the LiveCD first as Dapper didn't seem to want to mount any of my drives and finished up with:
/bin/sh/ can't access tty; job (*Something*) turned off - couldn't read my own writing!

Weird, yeah its a good job you tried the livecd first

Diss · 16 Apr 2006 at 17:52

OK - as expected i have cocked it up

I followed the instructions but everything is messed up - i will post some files here for you - if its all geting a bit much i'll understand - sorry

i was also getting some weird messages as it booted - where can i get a copy of my boot log to post?

Thanks

Your config looks ok..
/var/log/Xorg.0.log should show any X errors. dmesg will show you boot up messages, you can pipe this to a file dmesg > filename, if you want to read that file in a text editor.

as mentioned above i would like to post my boot log (i assume there was one) - i am using the Knoppix LiveCD at the moment - only i think there were other odd messages

i think maybe i screwed somethign up bigtime when i compiled the nvidia driver as part of the install?

:confused:

I.e this bit..

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg2.run

Prolly.
You screwed something up building the module it seems.

thanks Una

do i need to be in a particualr dir to do this - only as i am now in Knoppix will it show me the correct log?

or

are you saying i do dmesg > filename.txt at the console as i try and boot from Ubuntu
if so where will it put the .txt file?

thanks

i'll check the boot log first to see if anything else - is this going to be easy to correct?

See above post edited it a bit. If you do dmesg > dmesg.txt it will go in the directory you are currently in, so maybe best doing it from /home/username/

Diss · 16 Apr 2006 at 18:17

hmmm
i thought i saw something about CPU not recognised or something - is the following what appears scrolling down the screen as you boot up?
or is that another file?

Yes thats what happens when it boots.

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg2.run (replace with what you downloaded) is the step I think you have broken. If the drivers dont build/install properly there's no point in carrying on with the guide. You need to fix errors as they happen.

To be honest the nvidia drivers are in the Universe repository..

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto

Is how to enable it. If you cant get into a gui you will have to either change driver to "vesa" or edit apt sources by hand.

thanks - i'll give it another go tomorrow

i am pretty sure i didn't get any error messages but i'll double check next time

also - i noticed that the xorg file still says 6600GT and not 7900GT - is this something i have to change manually? and if so how do i know EXACTLY what i need to type in?

thanks again for all your time today

cheers

Thats just a label used as a display name for it. Has nothing to do with the actauly problem. You can call it what you like

ikapod · 16 Apr 2006 at 19:35

to shut down X i use :
init 3

and to start it up again:
init 5

or change default runlevel in /etc/inittab and reboot

snippet from the /etc/inittab

# The default runlevel is defined here
id:5:initdefault:

# First script to be executed, if not booting in emergency (-b) mode
si::bootwait:/etc/init.d/boot

# /etc/init.d/rc takes care of runlevel handling
#
# runlevel 0 is System halt (Do not use this for initdefault!)
# runlevel 1 is Single user mode
# runlevel 2 is Local multiuser without remote network (e.g. NFS)
# runlevel 3 is Full multiuser with network
# runlevel 4 is Not used
# runlevel 5 is Full multiuser with network and xdm
# runlevel 6 is System reboot (Do not use this for initdefault!)
