Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid). Lost video.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
July 24, 2010
- These failed
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
- sudo kpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
- These didn't exist
- /etc/kde4/kdm/Xservers
- /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
- This worked but is it right?
- /etc/X11/org.conf
- line 39 change nvidia to nv
- Turns out Kubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" comes
with the nouveau driver installed by default.
Nouveau is an open source driver for Nvidia
hardware. They did not update my xorg.conf.

Power went down in middle of apt-get upgrade. Tried to get it back and
computer said it was broke and needed
sudo dpkg --configure -a.
Then it took a lot of reboot, apt-get check, apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, reboot.
June 9, 2009
Can't get kubuntu computer to download and install video drivers.
I keep losing the gui interface. The command to get
video back
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
I need to try
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

From Ryan to see why two web pages are running, netstat -anp | less
to get a listing of what processes are listening on which ports.

Trying for mysql4.0 again.
Set the password for mysql root user. See /usr/share/doc/mysql-server/README.Debian
to enable networking, comment out skip-networking in /etc/mysql/my.cnf

I have major problems with the common data base for apt-get and dselect.
I can't seem to get debian's mysql 4.0. I'm stuck with 3.23. I can
download it seperatly but then I would also have to get PHP seperatly.
I don't want to do that.

bypassed dselect with apt-get, installed
1 alsa-base I have no idea what this is
2 dpkg-reconfigure atlas2-3dnow
3 dpkg-reconfigure atlas2-sse
4 dpkg-reconfigure atlas2-sse2
5 added then removed kooka scanner software that
comes with a warning,
it will fry the scanner.
7-6-04 must read "Linux Network Administrators' Guide"
11-20-04
Changing to lcd monitor. Resetting /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
with dexconf, the DEBCONF utility by typing the command
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.
"lspci" gives you SiS chipset information. Audio and video
chipsets are there.
11-23-04
Lots of upgrades, apt-get and dselect complained about
a missing file and refused to do that. Used "aptitude" to get the
list and then apt-get install.
5-9-05
apt-get remove mesag-dev glut
5-10-05
opengl mesa3d
Downloaded mesa3d. In "/root/Downloads/Mesa-6.2.1" did "make linux-x86".
If you want glut again you must "make realclean".
Put .h and lib files in
/usr/include/GL /usr/lib
/usr/local/include/GL /usr/local/lib
/usr/X11R6/include/GL /usr/X11R6/lib
Still nothing.
11-07-16
Added "export CLASSPATH=." to ".bashrc" to get the java command
to work in the kde bash shell.
For the non-gui login I had to change "/etc/profile" add
CLASSPATH="."
export CLASSPATH PS1
Otherwise you had to "java -classpath . fileName"
or "java -cp . fileName"

August 2007
On different days during a heat wave all three computers crashed.
