How do I install a driver?

[Amae]

Ok guys, I've had enough of Windows and got so mad I just formated and installed Ubuntu, I was bewildered of how my internet, my sound and graphics where working so well wihtout installing any sort of driver, which ofcourse doesn't happen with Windows. I was very happy and everything, even though I felt things where "too big", I thought it was a matter of the size of icons and/or fonts, I thought it was something like the windows theme for accesibility or something and could customize it, until while I was looking for a wallpaper I read in the webpage telling me I had a screen resolution of 800x600 I really couldn't believe my eyes I thought that couldn't be possible, so I went inmediatly to the display setting and yes my screen resolution was that indeed, and I couldn't be more surprised when I saw that the other resolution available was 640xsomething...

I figured out it must be because of a driver, so after speding the whole day trying to figure out what my graphic card was, I spent the whole night trying to solve this. At first I had a very hard time trying to do something "easy", like editing the xorg.conf file a thousand times, and getting a black screen after rebooting. I got sick of that, so I tried to look for the driver, which I found on the official webpage, but I couldn't manage to install it. I found an alternate driver in the openchrome page, and after a few hours of effort, I couldn't manage to install it either. Everything went ok in the terminal until I asked the terminal to "make install", it just gives me an error message(I followed these instructions: http://www.openchrome.org/trac/wiki/Installation). Then, goofing around I found the way of installing these drivers from Synaptics, everything was succesfull I restarted the computer, no error messages or anything, but nothing happened, the highest resolution I get is 800x600.

I read about restricted drivers in the ubuntu documentation and it just said to go to system-administration-hardwaredrivers but I just get a blank window when I go there. I still got on my desktop wwhat I downloaded from the officialwebsite but I really don't know what else to do. If someone could please help me with this issue, I am really loving Ubuntu but I would love it more if I had a higher screen resolution.

I forgot to mention my hardware is a KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome]

Hope someone helps i really would hate to re-install windows I wished I didn't have to see it anymore in my life but I can't live with that resolution and I don't have a single penny to buy a different graphic card, so if you're just gonna advice me to buy a new one, save your commentary really.

This thread might help if it's your hardware...

Ok, I have a desktop computer, not a laptop, and once more, it gave me an error when I rebooted after editing the xorg.conf file. I had to restore the previous configuration, which is the one used as default.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

[mechro]

Right, it's a desktop.

Are any of these bits a graphic card?...

KM400
KN400
P4M800
[S3 UniChrome]

[Amae]

That's whtat the terminal told me I had as a graphic card, I don't know any much further.

Edit: I think I forgot to mention I have Ubuntu 9.04... that is, the latest version.

[mechro]

In Synaptic, do a search for unichrome.

Is the following showing as installed?...

xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

[Amae]

It's got a green square by it, does this mean it is installed?

[mechro]

Yes it's installed.

What monitor and motherboard are you using?

[Amae]

I relally don't know how to figure that out, any idea?

[mechro]

There might be a label on the front of your monitor.

Did the computer come with a motherboard manual or any sort of paperwork from the manufacturer or retailer?

[Amae]

Ok, it says KAINOS in the front. ABout the manual, yes it did, but I don't have it handy right now, actually there is really no way I can have it on my hands :( and I reallydon't remember what the board was.

[mechro]

Sorry, that doesn't help.

Can you post your xorg.conf file?

[Amae]

There you go:


# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Monitor"

[mechro]

Change the device driver "vesa" to "openchrome".

Ubuntu documentation says...


Edit the X server configuration file

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the device driver to openchrome
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Make a backup of this file in case you need to revert the changes. By default some editors create a backup by appending a tilde to the name of the file (xorg.conf~). This backup may be hidden in the file manager, but is still listed with ls in a terminal.
Go to
Section "Device"
and change
Driver "vesa"
to
Driver "openchrome"
Save the file.

Test the driver
To test the new driver, go to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), log in and start a new X screen:
X :1
If it works, then you can continue restarting your desktop manager. If not, you probably have another problem and need to fix this first.

Finally, restart the X server by logging out and back in, or typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.

If Xorg does not start anymore, log in in a console and revert the changes made to the xorg.conf file. You can use an editor like nano.
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
You can also restore the backup
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the device driver to openchrome
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Do I edit it from the terminal found on applications? or through ctrl+alt+f1?

[mechro]

OK forget that. We'll do it the way I would do it...

First of all, have you got a LiveCD that you can boot from and use with no problems? You'll need this to recover if there are any problems after you've edited the xorg file.

Open a Terminal from Applications > Accessories.

Enter the command gksudo nautilus. You'll be asked for your password.

When Nautilus opens click View and check box for show hidden files.

Navigate to /etc/X11. In there is the xorg.conf file. Right-click on it copy and paste into the same folder. It should paste it as xorg.conf(copy) or similar.

Now right-click on the original xorg.conf and open with Text Editor. You can now change "vesa" to "openchrome". Save the file.

Close Text Editor.

Close Nautilus.

Type exit in the Terminal

Reboot.

If you reboot to a black screen or it doesn't work, shutdown and boot from the LiveCD to repair your xorg.conf to it's original coniguration.

[Amae]

I don't see the etc folder, I haven been able to access it from the terminal before though.

[mechro]

I don't see the etc folder, I haven been able to access it from the terminal before though.

In Nautilus, do you see a panel on the left hand side which has an item named File System. Click on it and then you should see etc in the main folder panel.

The reason we're not doing command line stuff is because it's not my way. You might find it's better to find a GUI solution (like Windows) for getting stuff done. Having said that I'm quite willing to kiss;) a command-liners....

[Amae]

Ok, Idid that and when I restarted it gave me the same error it gave me with all thestuff I have tried before so I had to restore to the previous configuration. Any other idea?

[mechro]

It doesn't look as if the driver is compatible with your system. It happens.

The "vesa" set up may be tweakable using some x tools.

I'll have another look next week if you don't get any further help in the meantime.

[Amae]

Ok, thank you I'lll wait for your help.

[mechro]

Have you installed updates? If you haven't, go to System > Administration > Update Manager: if you don't want to install all updates, just look for any you think are relevant to your graphics/driver set up and install those.

Once you've updated, reboot and then check System > Admin... > Hardware Drivers.

Ignore the above if you have installed updates.

Please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? (Use {CODE}{/CODE} tags)

[Amae]

Yes I have installed updates, and I am wondering how do I get to that file...

[mechro]

...I am wondering how do I get to that file...

In Nautilus (show hidden files) navigate: File System/var/log where you'll find Xorg.0.log. Open with Text Editor.

Oh dear, it doesn't even mention a monitor. And there's nothing to suggest alternative refresh rate/resolutions that might work.

You could try this: Download, burn, and boot a Puppy Linux LiveCD...

http://www.puppylinux.org/

When you boot Puppy it will run dialogs to configure your mouse, keyboard and display. When you get to the display dialog, select the Xorg option and if all is well you can test different resolutions. When you've "Okayed" your chosen resolution the desktop will open.

In Puppy you'll find an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 (similar to Ubuntu). Copy it and save it somewhere and you may be able to use some of the settings for your Ubuntu xorg.conf.

[Amae]

Are you telling me I'll have to INSTALL another OS in order to get "my monitor" working well? O_O

[mechro]

Are you telling me I'll have to INSTALL another OS in order to get "my monitor" working well? O_O

Er... Sorry, but I'm not even saying that your monitor will work well after doing this. You won't "install" Puppy, you'll be running it in the LiveCD environment.

Ubuntu is very, very good at detecting and auto-configuring graphics cards and monitors but if there's a problem there's no decent tool or procedure. There may be a set of commands that apply but I can't help you with that.

I can't give you a definitive answer that will work, only suggestions to try. For example, simply reinstalling Ubuntu may solve the problem, I don't know.

:oops::oops:

[Amae]

Oh, I don't have to install it? Ok, I'll try that... XD

[mechro]

Just read this in another thread...

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8226761&postcount=3

Giblet5 suggests trying a different monitor cable. Might be worth a try.


I'm hoping my Puppy suggestion might get the correct specs for your monitor.

[Amae]

Hey, I started my pc from the puppy live CD and oh my did I see the screen resolution as 1024.768 it felt like heaven! I went over to the xorg.conf but all I see is the same settings as I hve in ubuntu, and actually I see the same files O_O (there's a whole bunch of backups in it lol).

Edit: I didn't understand a single thing about the cable... :S

[mechro]

Are you sure you read Puppy's xorg.conf and not Ubuntu's xorg.conf from Puppy?

Just to make sure, navigate in Puppy as follows...

On the desktop click once the File icon in the top left hand corner.

In the window that opens click once the green up arrow.

The next window that opens will be Puppy's root where you can navigate to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

http://i38.tinypic.com/9uw1zt.jpg

The cable is the dangly bit of wire with plastic plugs on either end that goes from your monitor to your desktop computer case. ;) The suggestion is you borrow or buy another one, with no guarantees that it'll make a difference.

[Amae]

Ok I will do that, and if the cable has to do with that, then I could be pretty sure that could be the problem, because I moved and all the cables messed up, I ended up with various cables that looked just the ssame, but not all of them where of a monitor's so I might of used a different cable and it might be causing the problem, I will do the puppy thing, and if it doesn't work, then I'll try the cable(I gotta look for the other one's though).

Oh, and a question, if I have to do the cable option, do I just switch the cables and try to change the resolutin from the display settings or will I have to do something else?

[Amae]

Ok, here is the puppy xorg configuration, I am not sure of what to copy to my ubunto conf:

I got the following error:


The following error was encountered

(EE) Failed to load module "via" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available

[mechro]

Assuming the openchrome driver is still installed, try the following command in a Terminal...


sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[Amae]

Ok I did that it asked me for my password and then nothing else happpened, was that all?

Oh, and last night it asked me to update ubuntu so now i got ubuntu karmik koala

[Amae]

Did that and restartedand everything looks the same.

[jmore9]

Are you trying to install or get your video card working correctly ? Is this right ? If so you could try in a terminal the following :

lspci then hit enter

It should give you a list of what is installed in your pci slots, maybe your card is there then you have a starting point.

Okay that's something I am not able to understand at all. All I want is to be able of having a screen resolution of 1024.768 that's all I don't care what or how should a do it as long as I get that as a result. I thought the driver might be the problem but if I have to fix something else than the driver then I'll do it.

[mechro]

Oh, and last night it asked me to update ubuntu so now i got ubuntu karmik koala

Er... do you mean it said there was an "Upgrade" available? You didn't have to upgrade, you have a choice. "Updates" are for your current installation.

Ok guys, I've had enough of Windows and got so mad I just formated and installed Ubuntu, I was bewildered of how my internet, my sound and graphics where working so well wihtout installing any sort of driver, which ofcourse doesn't happen with Windows. I was very happy and everything, even though I felt things where "too big", I thought it was a matter of the size of icons and/or fonts, I thought it was something like the windows theme for accesibility or something and could customize it, until while I was looking for a wallpaper I read in the webpage telling me I had a screen resolution of 800x600 I really couldn't believe my eyes I thought that couldn't be possible, so I went inmediatly to the display setting and yes my screen resolution was that indeed, and I couldn't be more surprised when I saw that the other resolution available was 640xsomething...

I figured out it must be because of a driver, so after speding the whole day trying to figure out what my graphic card was, I spent the whole night trying to solve this. At first I had a very hard time trying to do something "easy", like editing the xorg.conf file a thousand times, and getting a black screen after rebooting. I got sick of that, so I tried to look for the driver, which I found on the official webpage, but I couldn't manage to install it. I found an alternate driver in the openchrome page, and after a few hours of effort, I couldn't manage to install it either. Everything went ok in the terminal until I asked the terminal to "make install", it just gives me an error message(I followed these instructions: http://www.openchrome.org/trac/wiki/Installation). Then, goofing around I found the way of installing these drivers from Synaptics, everything was succesfull I restarted the computer, no error messages or anything, but nothing happened, the highest resolution I get is 800x600.

I read about restricted drivers in the ubuntu documentation and it just said to go to system-administration-hardwaredrivers but I just get a blank window when I go there. I still got on my desktop wwhat I downloaded from the officialwebsite but I really don't know what else to do. If someone could please help me with this issue, I am really loving Ubuntu but I would love it more if I had a higher screen resolution.

I forgot to mention my hardware is a KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome]

Hope someone helps i really would hate to re-install windows I wished I didn't have to see it anymore in my life but I can't live with that resolution and I don't have a single penny to buy a different graphic card, so if you're just gonna advice me to buy a new one, save your commentary really.
have you tried the icon install restricted drivers in ubuntu, its similar to envyng they will both collect the correct recommended driver for you and install it,
mine is km400 (max res 1400x1050, i also have compiz running though the resolution will depend on your monitor abilities,
Your setting can be changed by the menu options for screen resolutions or by editing the xorg.conf its in /etc/X11 however to edit it, gdm must restarted to make changes effective, to effectivly edit this you may need to be root, ie sudo su ( it will show in red root at terminal )then gedit the file. ctrl/alt/backspace restarts the gdm.

[mechro]

Oops! I made a boo-boo! The sudo dpkg-reconfigure command thingy was a waste of time. I'll try again...

In your Ubuntu installation open a Terminal and type...


gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

After entering your user password the gedit text editor will open with your xorg.conf file. Delete all the text in the file and copy and paste all of the following (scroll right to the end of the Code box)...


# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg

# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated

@ jmore9 and @ freackout...

Amae's driver is installed. It's just not working. :D

[Amae]

Ok I did that, and now I am not able to start my computer.

I mean, when I rebooted, I got the ubuntu logo and then, instead of the graphical log in, I got a log in like in windows DOS. The monitor screen blinked a great deal. But I wouldn-t be able to log in either because when I typed, it wouldnt appear all of the letters I pressed, and for the user I would just try and try until it was correctly written but I couldnt do that for the password because it just remains black instead of appearing dots or stars so you know you typed in something.

Right now I am onine becuase I put the live cd of ubuntu 9 and it still took me a great deal of effort to make it work. When I started it, it gave me the following error:


The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.

(EE) CHROME (0): No valid modesfound.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

I told it to repair but it didn-t work, I finally had to ask it to run in low graphics mode just for this time and here I am. But now I don't know how to be able to use my pc normaly. :S

[mechro]

Don't panic. We can repair to the previous configuration from Puppy.

Hold on a while and I'll be back with instructions.

I'm sorry you're having such a bad experience with this.

[mechro]

Can you open a Terminal and type...


sudo fdisk -l

That's lower case letter L not number 1

Just press Enter when it asks for your password. Post the results here.

Ok, I won-t panic, but I-m desperate with this 800x600 resolution... T_T

[mechro]

We're only going to be able to restore that 800 x 600 resolution to your Ubuntu installation. Is that OK?

[Amae]

Sure

Edit> I am sorry if it took me so long to rpely again, but I was sleeping my daughter and I fell asleep myself!

[mechro]

Yeah, I used to have that problem... My missus would be sleeping my daughter and I'd fall asleep ;)

[mechro]

Are you using the Ubuntu LiveCd now?

If you're using the Ubuntu LiveCd go to Places > Computer

Double click the icon you think is your Ubuntu installation. Navigate to /etc/X11

Post here the Location it states (under the back button near the top right is another button, click it until it reads Location in the bar).

[Amae]

Ok, it wont work, it tells me nautilus had an eror and couldnt send a report because it iddnt have enough memory. ANd yes I am still fromthe livecd

[mechro]

We're trying to find the location of your xorg.conf in relation to the LiveCD.

If you don't know and nautilus is giving errors open a Terminal and do...


ls /media

[Amae]

disk disk-1


IK get this

[mechro]

OK. Same again but do...


ls /media/disk-1

[Amae]

AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS msdownld.tmp PFiles
b.exe configuracion NTDETECT.COM Recycled
Bootfont.bin IO.SYS ntldr System Volume Information
boot.ini MSDOS.SYS pagefile.sys


There ya go..

[mechro]

That's Windows, so Ubuntu must be on "disk" so do...


ls /media/disk/etc/X11

[Amae]

app-defaults xkb Xresources
cursors xorg.conf Xsession
default-display-manager xorg.conf~ Xsession.d
fonts xorg.conf-backup-091105110623 Xsession.options

X xorg.conf.dist-upgrade-200911060803 Xwrapper.config
xinit xorg.conf.failsafe

[gradinaruvasile]

I relally don't know how to figure that out, any idea?

Open a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal). Type in it:


lspci

then press enter.

Post the output of that command.

Then in the same terminal type:


sudo lshw > $HOME/Desktop/lshw-list.txt

Attach the lshw-list.txt that will be in your desktop folder file to your comment.

[mechro]

Lots of back-ups in there. Finding the right one might take a while so probably easiest to do...


gksudo gedit /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Press Enter for password. The gedit text editor will open with your xorg.conf file. Delete all the text in the file and copy and paste all of the following...


# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

SAVE the file and exit gedit.

Just to make sure everything is OK do...


cat /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf

And post result here.

So shall I restart now?

[mechro]

Yep. But I'm afraid you've still got the low screen resolution. I'll keep looking for a solution but you might be out of luck.

By the way, if you've still got Windows, can you boot into it?

[Amae]

I rebooted and kept having the same problem it gives me the same error and had to start in lw graphics mode.

And no, I can-t boot in windows I dont know why, i installed ubuntu in a different partitiuon, and that has me upset also because I got there important stuff and cant access it.

[mechro]

How low is low graphics mode?

Have you got a Windows disc?

[Amae]

I dont know how low it is, it looks just the same as before.

Yes I have the windows disc,... in my office.

[mechro]

If you're not happy with Ubuntu you should be able to repair your Windows with the disc if it's not corrupted.

[Amae]

That-s the problem I want Ubuntu! xD

[Amae]

Open a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal). Type in it:


lspcithen press enter.

Post the output of that command.

Then in the same terminal type:


sudo lshw > $HOME/Desktop/lshw-list.txtAttach the lshw-list.txt that will be in your desktop folder file to your comment.

Mechro, if I change the monitor, do you think it could fix the problem?

EDIT: I found the papers and books that came with the pc, that includes the motherboard's instruction manual, is there anything I can look up in it?

[mechro]

Changing the monitor may help.

On the monitor your using now can you try unplugging and plugging the cable at the monitor end and the computer end to make sure the plugs are in properly.

Is there anything in the paperwork to tell you what sort of monitor it is. We're looking for brand name, model, refresh rates, resolution.

If it works in Puppy Linux it's odd that it's not working in Ubuntu. You could try an older version of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is still supported.

[Amae]

I am making lunch right now, when I'm done I'll turn off the computer, and try to look if it says anything on the back of the monitor. What I found information for is the motherboard itself, but not the monitor, which is weird because I have this vague idea that tells me I did have a booklet for the monitor.

[Amae]

Hello...

I tried to look for the monitor manual but didn't run with any luck at all. I looked at the back of the monitor though and this is what it says:

KAINOS MT534GNM10
Model #556E
AC100~240V 50/60Hz 1.5A

And then on a sticker on another side had hte following: HHD3058150065

Does this help at all?

[mechro]

Absolutely no returns from Google for that model.

Re the voltage (240V) - is that correct for your location?

[Amae]

I don't have asingle clue about those things... XD

[mechro]

Are you in Europe or America?

[Amae]

I am in Colombia, South America.

[mechro]

My bad. Your monitor says AC100~240V so it must be adapted for Colombia's 110V system.

There's no information on the label that will help. Sorry.

[Amae]

What does that mean????

Shall I write here about the board info on its manual? (the specifications of graphic card andstuff).

[mechro]

What does that mean????

It doesn't matter. I was wondering whether your electricity supply matched your monitor.

No thanks, you've already given the information with the lspci and lshw commands.


In the LiveCD what is the best resolution offered in System > Preferences > Display?

In the LiveCD what drivers are offered in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?

In the Ubuntu live CD the highest resolution I get is 800x600. And nothing appears at all on that screen.

[mechro]

I've looked at trying to install an older driver but it doesn't seem to work without breaking my Jaunty X system.

Why don't you try an older version of Ubuntu with the older drivers?

Download this iso for Gutsy Gibbon Ubuntu...

http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso

Burn it and run it as a Live CD and see what happens.

[Amae]

I'll try that then, but if it works, will I have to install the old drivers or will I have to stick with the whole entire old version of ubuntu?

[mechro]

I'll try that then, but if it works, will I have to install the old drivers or will I have to stick with the whole entire old version of ubuntu?

If older Ubuntu gives you a configuration that works you may be able to install this in new Ubuntu. I don't know for sure.

[Amae]

Ok, I will try it, I haven't been able to download it (my disk was full) I borrowed a usb memory to keep some stuff in it and then download it, I hopefully do that tonight.

Also I wanted to mention another issue I have(it seems Linux isn't happy with me), I recently (very very recently, just a few days ago), got this Acer Aspire One Netbook (model ZA3) and I installed the Kubuntu 9.10 Netbook edition to it. And everything is perfect, EXCEPT i have the same resolution problem as in my pc, but all the way around. It has a 1024x768 resolution when it should be 1366x768. And it is the only available option in the display settings. Do you think you can also help me on this one? XD

It was supposed to be a ZA7 but I got a ZA3... o well...

Hi

I downloaded that ubuntu version, and when I started my pc with it, after the ubuntu splash screen, the monitor would go "idle"(yo know, the little green light turns like dark orange), then some minutes after it would go green again and show nothing and would go orange and so on and so forth, then some text would appear and talked about some errors and that's about it.

[mechro]

That's no good then. Sorry.

We'll try editing the xorg.conf file again...

Boot your 9.04 LiveCD. In a Gnome Terminal do...


gksudo gedit /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Delete all the text in the file and copy and paste all of the following...


# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

How am I goint to save it if i am starting from the cd? the gnome terminal is the same terminal found on applications? and, as I told you I told it to update to 9.10, how can I go back to the other version?

In gedit, File > Save will save the edited file in in its original location with its original name, just like any other Save operation in any other application. You did exactly the same thing earlier on in the thread.

Gnome Terminal is Applications > Accessories > Terminal

You can still use your 9.04 CD, it doesn't matter at all that you have 9.10 installed on your computer. You used Puppy Linux earlier to look at your installation... that wasn't 9.10 was it? It wasn't even Ubuntu!

You don't need to go back to your earlier version. Your graphics problem is affecting all versions.

Hope that helps and you're a little less confused :)

Ok I am more confused now, if that will save the xorg file I am using then why do I need to use the live cd? why can't I do it directly from my ubuntu? :S

[mechro]

Yes, you can do it from your Ubuntu. I'm getting confused as well.

From your ubuntu the command will be...


gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

After you've copied, pasted and saved as I said above then reboot.

Oh my god, I love you I really do, I have a screen resolution of 1024x768 finally. I am SO happy now, I can't be happier than this really. THANK YOU so much for having all this patience and helping me out through all this process. I can't express how thankful I am really. I don't have to scroll sideways now when I navigate on 99% of the pages. :D

[mechro]

I'm so pleased it's working, Amae.

Cheers. :D
