Hardware :: Reverting To Free Video Module?
Dec 1, 2008
does anyone know how to revert to using the free "ati" or specifically the "radeon" modules after uninstalling the proprietary "fglrx" modules in Intrepid Ibex?ver since the xorg.conf file became deprecated in ubuntu, I have no idea how to switch which module it loads and now it loads the vesa driver if the fglrx module is not installed.I've tried manually editing the xorg.conf file anyway, putting the desired driver in the device section and i've tried reconfiguring the xserver with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but both cause X to fail to start on reboot. All resources I could find on the fglrx driver online were about installing it, not uninstalling it.

When Lucid Lynx came out I did a clean install on my laptop by burning an iso. Unfortunately, I got an annoying bug in which the image would always be wiggly (wavy) in the external monitor. In an attempt to fix the issue, I tried to installed Ati's restricted drivers. Unfortunately, my graphics card (Radeon x1200) isn't supported by them on Ubuntu 10.04, and trying to install it anyway only made things worse.
Right now, I just want it to be back to what it was when I first installed Lucid. Following the instructions on this page, I have already removed the fglrx drivers, and I think I installed the open-source driver. However, I can tell that things are not the way they were when I first installed. By going in "Main menu > System > Preferences > Monitors" I get the usual menu to configure the monitors, except I can't actually configure anything.
There's only one monitor (listed as Unknown), and the system doesn't let me change any of the settings (such as resolution or frequency). The external monitor is showing the same output as the laptop monitor, and doesn't get recognized by the system. I just want to use the exact graphics drivers that came installed in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. But I don't want to do a clean install.

how to keep any flash video from anywhere on the internet for free.no i'm not a robot, and i don't want your credit card info, nor do i wish to tell you how to make your (expletive deleted) bigger. it's just something i stumbled on and i wanted to share it.you can keep any flash video on the internet if you're using google chrome. it's really simple. just browse on over to any video you like, it could be videos, or a porn site, whatever. watch it. or don't. i don't care. just keep it going in the back ground until it is fully loaded. next, go to your home directory using your favorite file manager. you may have to turn on "show hidden files" different fms do it differently, consult your documentation. at any rate you're looking for ".cache" this applies to kde, gnome, it doesn't matter. in ".cache" you'll find "google-chrome" inside you'll find a whole bunch of files. you're looking for flash video filetypes so either a "list view" or "details" or something along those lines would be your best bet to find it more quickly. none of the cache files in here have "human names" like video.flv for example, there all along the lines of f_007x so finding your particular one isn't exactly easy, but it's not hard. file sizes are your best clue here. of course, if the video is still loading it's easier because you're looking for a flash video that seems to keep growing in file size. once you found the one you want to keep just copy it to a permanent location like ~/videos or something like that and give it a better name. or not. it's up to you. anyway, i hope you find this tip useful. oh and don't worry about what distro your using, it doesn't seem to matter. i've tried this trick on slackware, ubuntu, and opensuse.

I am trying to get my Debian system running. I have an older Dell Precision 490 with two dual core CPUs. It has 16G Ram, an 150G Intel solid state drive, a 230G data drive, and a 600G backup drive. I have two Samsung monitors attached to the NVIDIA Geforce FX 5xx card. I have been using this machine for several years with Etch, then Lenny, running KDE 3.5. I recently needed to upgrade to Squeeze and KDE4 and have had nothing but problems since. I keep having issues with the video drivers, every time I touch anything the drivers seem to upgrade from the legacy 173 to the current 195.
There have been other library compatibility issues as well (gclib) and the machine has not been stable. This morning the system was running very slowly with X running at 100% (from top) and then the entire system froze. After a hard reboot, X did restart. The Xorg.0.log has the following message:
"Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure that there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system, and that the NVIDIA device files have been created properly..."

I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.

Am I asking too much for a FREE OS? Everybody spend their precious time to help others, that's very helpful.But it seems like there is no support from UBUNTU team,how could we even get through the barrier of not using Microsoft's OSes? No free lunch of course, but it seems to me some issues have never really been solved.I read lot's of people have problem with their WIFI, not just for my OLD USB wifi adapter. I don't have problem with WIFI in XP/Server.
I posted here and there, and seems like no answer, and I do not get any reply from UBUNTU support team,forgive me if I run out of google's keywords.I just need a simple answer, is my WIFI going to work in UBUNTU with a layman effort? I like linux and UBUNTU had put great effort in providing me such a great OS, but if a basic internet connection will need to spent sooo much time to setup, and it still doesn't work. IS IT WORTH to switch to UBUNTU at all

Way to revert my 10.04 (2.6.31.21) to 9.10.
<rant>10.04 has been a disaster for my Acer laptop. NVidia must hate Ubuntu because any time I try to load into 2.6.32.22, the damn thing black-screens and dies. 2.6.31.21 "works", but I get flooded with errors related to the generic nvidia drivers. And I've specifically NOT installed the proprietary drivers because I know from past experience that they kill my computer, regardless of which Ubuntu version I use. Plus 10.04 is just... why did they change everything? The default color scheme makes my eyes bleed, and even the close/minimize/maximize buttons are in the wrong place. But that's minor... The real problem is that my graphics capabilities are shot to hell, and since this is a computer used for work-related image processing, I need 9.10 back.</rant>
Reinstalling from disk is not an option since any install disc (alt or otherwise) newer than 8.04 fails. (A fresh install of 9.10 involved installing 8.04 => 8.10 => 9.04 => 9.10) Is there a simple apt-get type command I can use to revert it?

I basically accidentally installed gnome3 on ubuntu tweak (I didn't notice the box was checked) and next time I started up I could only use the gnome 3 environment which is massively buggy. I wish to revert back to 11.04 (without a clean install, since I have a lot of files I need to keep). I have tried purging the gnome3 team ppa but I get the following error:
"sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3/

When I try to load the Realtek 8187 modules to kernel using the ./wlan1up command, I get the following error:
[root@localhost rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007]# ./wlan1up
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
[code]...
Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.

After upgrading to Lucid, I found that I still had a need for php 5.2, instead of the 5.3 that is installed during the Lucid upgrade. I tried the method found here:
[URL]
I added in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php all the packages that I use for php, including libapache2-mod-php5, installed, and ran a2enmod php5 before restarting apache. However, my browser still tells me if I want to download php files on my server. I cleared the browser cache, a2enmod'ed again, restarted apache2 again, and still the same.
how to get php scripts running again on apache.
EDIT: I should note I can get SOME php files parsed by apache, but some are not parsed. All files reside in some subdirectory of /var/www/.

I recently reinstalled using the latest "respin" CD ISO. Before that, I had other problems with 10.04, but X and fglrx worked perfectly.
Now, X always comes up in 1600x1200 instead of the monitor native 1920x1200. I am still using the same on-board Radeon 4200. Supposedly this display adapter is very well supported by Linux???
I did an aticonfig --initial as suggested in the Known Lucid Lynx issues/bugs with workarounds thread, but when I restarted X I got a black screen, and when I rebooted, even though xorg.conf now says
Code:
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
The system still comes up in 1600x1200. Note it is on DVI and I never touched the hardware or put a bad cable on it since it was working with the first install of 10.04.
When I go into Catalyst Control Center, Display Manager, Display Properties tab, the highest resolution available is 1600x1200. I hand-edited X11 and restarted and ran for a while in 1920x1200, but that no longer works. Now I just get a black screen whenever I restart X, and it always starts in 1600x1200.
How do I convince fglrx that I really have a 1920x1200 monitor? (VP2330wb). It is really very blurry in 1600x1200.
EDIT: Ran get-edid, got:
Code:
get-edid: get-edid version 2.0.0

I know that it made the boot time much longer and now I want to undo/revert the changes that I've made.

I've got Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on my Dell laptop, and on my Appearance/visual effects tab I've selected None. But when I reboot, it changes by itself to Normal. How can I make it stay on None?Edit: I just created another user on this pc. After reboot it stays on None for this user, suggesting it's a per-user setting I need to fix, not a system wide one.

Hate to say it but 13.37 has too many issues for me to be considered compatible and stable. While it is a nice release, there are too many issues with how the system handles itself for my tastes to be considered usable without a severe fight that I do not wish to continue on with. I do ask that the developers of Slackware, if they do indeed read this, please take into consideration that 13.1 support needs to be extended until the next version can come out that has the same levels of stability and ease of use 13.1 has. Not to be negative, but 13.37 did feel a bit BETA.

The issue is that quotas dont seem to work correctly on it. Is there a way to revert back to ext3? Mainly the quota tools do not work on it.
