[17:54] 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). === urfr332go is now known as urfr332gO [18:14] Jeroen___: do you have an NVIDIA card? [18:14] Yes, nvidia. [18:15] Jeroen___: do you know if you are using the open source or proprietary driver? [18:17] Iḿ using a prorietary driver [18:21] Jeroen___: does only one monitor show in 'nvidia-settings'? [18:23] 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] 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] if it is not installed you can install it with the command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [18:33] Jeroen___: this might be helpful. http://askubuntu.com/questions/67495/getting-dual-monitors-to-work-on-11-10 [18:36] nvidia-settings did the trick!

[23:16] samuel: Whats the problem? [23:18] ah hello, thankyou for your response, i cant resize the os partition in either gparted or the ubuntu installer [23:18] What happenes? [23:19] 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] 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] the total hard drive capacity is 500gb [23:20] samuel: is it possible for you to wipe the whole drive? [23:20] well, i would rather leave windows 7 on there, reformatting would be a last resort [23:20] as its an oem install i get no windows disc [23:23] ah i think i might have found what the problem is [23:24] i may be able to fix it somehow with the recovery discs [23:28] 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] samuel: wait what is the issue here? [23:30] i'm trying to set up a dual boot on my dell vostro laptop which has windows 7 preinstalled [23:31] when i do it via the ubuntu installation process it cannot access the main os partition [23:31] what are you using a recovery disc for? [23:31] i have been reading the multi boot guide via the ubuntu documentation [23:32] aparrently you can use the windows recovery disc to restore to any partition [23:32] (except for with HP computers) [23:32] i will try resizing the partition using the tool in windows first though as it seems the least destructive [23:32] im still not seeing what the issue is [23:33] use windows disk management to make a separate partition and then use the ubuntu disc to install [23:33] 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] 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] alright [23:36] 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] samuel: it is not letting you resize the windows partition/ [23:37] 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] 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] 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] :) [23:41] coug**Unity**cough [23:41] ;) [23:41] 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] oh boy [23:41] according to the ubuntu documentation there is a thing with windows 7/vista where certain files are not moveable [23:42] the work around is to use the windows disk manager as i have just done [23:43] 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] ahh [23:44] 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] another issue that has been popping up is that windows has 4 primary partitions m [23:46] 4 Primary partitions is the maximum allowed on an mbr partitioned disk [23:47] hmmmm i noticed that there are some 1mb partitions! thanks for the heads up, i could easily remove those [23:47] what is the result, ubuntu doesnt boot? or worse, no bootable os?? [23:48] 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] from the live CD all essential hardware is functioning [23:49] nice [23:52] ah bollox, the unallocated space that i just created is unusable!!! [23:52] lets see if i can do anything with gparted [23:53] haha, and suprise surprise its because there are too many primary partitions! [23:54] aha [23:55] its ok, i lost one of the partitions, i can leave that space empty its like 4.67gb of nothing [23:55] 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] Linux* [23:55] i bet deliberately put there to stop people from installing 3rd party os's [23:56] heh, i would not be suprised [23:56] i like to do my partitions /, /home and swap [23:56] allows for easy reinstallation of the os if things go badly [23:56] ahh, yes. that is a good idea [23:57] makes upgrading and reinstalling so much easier [23:57] yup, a simple case of formatting / [23:57] would be cool if the ubuntu installation did that from the upgrade option [23:57] rather than wiping everything off which is what it did last time i tried it [23:59] 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
