I just switched DSL providers, and I no longer have bellsouth.. here's what it USED to be: cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 paulandcilla.bellsouth.net
( now I commented out the 2nd line) > > What does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? well, I finally got frustrated enough to retry the nvidia driver install.. ran # export CC=gcc-4.1 # /etc/init.d/kdm stop # sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run # /etc/init.d/kdm restart black screen #init 6 now it works.. I have to run this 2 or 3 times sometimes for it to work.. not sure why it doesn't the first time, every time, but it doesnt. so, for now everything is working.. again.. so, now I am running lenny, and nvidia breaks more often, and envy isn't supported in lenny. If I wanted to return to the stability of etch ( where envy is supported) is there an EASY way?? using aptitude?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
