[17:54] <Jeroen___> Hello people, I have a small problem with newly installed Ubuntu 11.10. The second monitor attached to my notebook is not recognized. Oddly, it *does* work when I booted from the live USB ubuntu, but not on the ubuntu I installed on the hard drive (from that same USB drive). |

[18:14] <duanedesign> Jeroen___: do you have an NVIDIA card? |
|
[18:14] <Jeroen___> Yes, nvidia. |
|
[18:15] <duanedesign> Jeroen___: do you know if you are using the open source or proprietary driver? |
|
[18:17] <Jeroen___> Iḿ using a prorietary driver |
|
[18:21] <duanedesign> Jeroen___: does only one monitor show in 'nvidia-settings'? |
|
[18:23] <Jeroen___> where do i find ´nvidia-settings´? Under ´displays´ only one monitor is shown, named ´unknown´, When I boot from the live USB drive, however, it shows both monitors, one as ´laptop' and one (correctly) as ´samsung ...' |
|
[18:25] <duanedesign> Jeroen___: if you search in the Dash for 'nvidia' it should pop up. You can also launch it from the Terminal with the command nvidia-settings |
|
[18:25] <duanedesign> if it is not installed you can install it with the command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings |
|
[18:33] <duanedesign> Jeroen___: this might be helpful. http://askubuntu.com/questions/67495/getting-dual-monitors-to-work-on-11-10 |
|
[18:36] <Jeroen___> nvidia-settings did the trick! Thanks! :-) |

[23:01] <samuel> hello all |
|
[23:02] <samuel> i'm having problems installing ubuntu on my dell laptop, i wonder if anyone could offer some insight into the problem? |
|
[23:16] <benonsoftware> samuel: Whats the problem? |
|
[23:18] <samuel> ah hello, thankyou for your response, i cant resize the os partition in either gparted or the ubuntu installer |
|
[23:18] <benonsoftware> What happenes? |
|
[23:19] <samuel> after the installer failed i booted into the live cd and fired up gparted, it shows an exclaimation mark against the os partition, i have a dell vostro btw |
|
[23:19] <samuel> the only partition that the ubuntu installer can install on has something like 10gb, and i'm a little concerned about formatting that |
|
[23:19] <samuel> the total hard drive capacity is 500gb |
|
[23:20] <benonsoftware> samuel: is it possible for you to wipe the whole drive? |
|
[23:20] <samuel> well, i would rather leave windows 7 on there, reformatting would be a last resort |
|
[23:20] <samuel> as its an oem install i get no windows disc |
|
[23:23] <samuel> ah i think i might have found what the problem is |
|
[23:24] <samuel> i may be able to fix it somehow with the recovery discs |
|
[23:28] <samuel> thanks for your response, aparrently i need to use window's shrink partition tool, or format the hard drive, partition it, then use the recovery disc to install on the desired partition |
|
[23:29] <stlsaint> samuel: wait what is the issue here? |
|
[23:30] <samuel> i'm trying to set up a dual boot on my dell vostro laptop which has windows 7 preinstalled |
|
[23:31] <samuel> when i do it via the ubuntu installation process it cannot access the main os partition |
|
[23:31] <stlsaint> what are you using a recovery disc for? |
|
[23:31] <samuel> i have been reading the multi boot guide via the ubuntu documentation |
|
[23:32] <samuel> aparrently you can use the windows recovery disc to restore to any partition |
|
[23:32] <samuel> (except for with HP computers) |
|
[23:32] <samuel> i will try resizing the partition using the tool in windows first though as it seems the least destructive |
|
[23:32] <stlsaint> im still not seeing what the issue is |
|
[23:33] <stlsaint> use windows disk management to make a separate partition and then use the ubuntu disc to install |
|
[23:33] <samuel> yup, that is my first option, this is the first time i have encountered this problem with an oem windows system thats all |
|
[23:34] <samuel> perhaps its because the systems i have so far encountered are already set up with a partition, or i have been happy to completely remove windows |
|
[23:35] <stlsaint> alright |
|
[23:36] <samuel> like when did oem machines start having a single partition? every laptop or pc i have seen with windows up until now has had a partition for "backing up" (even if it has only one physical drive) |
|
[23:36] <duanedesign> samuel: it is not letting you resize the windows partition/ |
|
[23:37] <samuel> thats correct, not from gparted or the ubuntu installation process anyways, i'm doing it via the windows disk management now as advised |
|
[23:39] <duanedesign> if the windows partition has a red exclamation point you can right-click and select Information to see if it gives any clues as to what the exclamation point is for |
|
[23:40] <samuel> anyway thank you all who as pitched in on this so far! on #ubuntu all i could get was a debate over the advantages of GS or Unity or Fallback mode **sigh** |
|
[23:40] <duanedesign> :) |
|
[23:41] <duanedesign> coug**Unity**cough |
|
[23:41] <duanedesign> ;) |
|
[23:41] <samuel> yeah i got a list of problems too long for the screen to display |
|
[23:41] * samuel typing this from GS on ubuntu 11.10 |
|
[23:41] <duanedesign> oh boy |
|
[23:41] <samuel> according to the ubuntu documentation there is a thing with windows 7/vista where certain files are not moveable |
|
[23:42] <samuel> the work around is to use the windows disk manager as i have just done |
|
[23:43] <samuel> the reason why i didnt find this out sooner is i had a mind blank as to how to phrase my google search, oh well, glad we all have IRC |
|
[23:44] <duanedesign> ahh |
|
[23:44] <samuel> btw did you know that on linux mint you get xchat by default and when you start it, it dumps you straight into their support channel - not sure if thats an awesome idea or just asking for it |
|
[23:46] <duanedesign> another issue that has been popping up is that windows has 4 primary partitions m |
|
[23:46] <duanedesign> 4 Primary partitions is the maximum allowed on an mbr partitioned disk |
|
[23:47] <samuel> hmmmm i noticed that there are some 1mb partitions! thanks for the heads up, i could easily remove those |
|
[23:47] <samuel> what is the result, ubuntu doesnt boot? or worse, no bootable os?? |
|
[23:48] <samuel> BTW apart from this problem, i cannot fault this laptop, anyone in the UK reading this, got it in tesco for approx £360, AMD E450, 4GB DDR3 & 500GB HDD |
|
[23:48] <samuel> from the live CD all essential hardware is functioning |
|
[23:49] <duanedesign> nice |
|
[23:52] <samuel> ah bollox, the unallocated space that i just created is unusable!!! |
|
[23:52] <samuel> lets see if i can do anything with gparted |
|
[23:53] <samuel> haha, and suprise surprise its because there are too many primary partitions! |
|
[23:54] <duanedesign> aha |
|
[23:55] <samuel> its ok, i lost one of the partitions, i can leave that space empty its like 4.67gb of nothing |
|
[23:55] <duanedesign> if you can only get down to three you can install the two Linuc partitions in two logical partitions within an extended partition |
|
[23:55] <duanedesign> Linux* |
|
[23:55] <samuel> i bet deliberately put there to stop people from installing 3rd party os's |
|
[23:56] <duanedesign> heh, i would not be suprised |
|
[23:56] <samuel> i like to do my partitions /, /home and swap |
|
[23:56] <samuel> allows for easy reinstallation of the os if things go badly |
|
[23:56] <duanedesign> ahh, yes. that is a good idea |
|
[23:57] <duanedesign> makes upgrading and reinstalling so much easier |
|
[23:57] <samuel> yup, a simple case of formatting / |
|
[23:57] <samuel> would be cool if the ubuntu installation did that from the upgrade option |
|
[23:57] <samuel> rather than wiping everything off which is what it did last time i tried it |
|
[23:59] <samuel> the company i work for does linux computers for grannies so an upgrade process like that would be a great idiot proof upgrade with no data loss |
