Thread: ran nvidia-xconfig - laptop no longer boots

-

laptop toshiba satellite l300 3g ram , dual core pentium.

have been running ubuntu 9.10 since october. part has been good, exception of glitchy sound , video. since use laptop reading, had ignored glitches. today, attempting clean issue, , ran, suggested in post 'sudo nvidia-xconfig'. rebooted laptop , no longer boot correctly. symptoms follows:
1. normal toshiba splash screen.
2. message 'grub loading.'
3. appears normal output text number of seconds. (i configured grub display boot output.)
4. black screen.
5. can not access vt. ctrl+alt+f1, etc not work.
6. laptop not getting dhcp address. dhcp server not receiving dhcpdiscover or dhcprequest.
7. can not connect ssh. (not surprising, considering 6, above)
8. apache not responding. (also not surprising)

in process of downloading new live cd, since mine went missing. hoping recover without re-install.

suggestions on start?
please not ask output, @ least until live cd running , drives mounted.

ok, not quite bad have been.

booted live cd, mounted '/' drive:
sudo mkdir /mnt/disk1; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/disk1

renamed xorg.conf:
sudo mv /mnt/disk1/etc/x11/xorg.conf /mnt/disk1/etc/x11/xorg.conf.old

reboot, , appeard normal.

know gnu/linux not ???dows, nice see warning such "you hose computer. wish continue?"

Valutazione Template - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

salve, prima di installare joomla, vorrei porvi tre semplici domande: 1) l'ultima versione in italiano di joomla, supporta questo template prodotto da gavik? loro scrivono che non è un semplice template, ma una vera e propria suite, ma vorrei una vostra opinione. qui sono descritte le funzioni della suite. 2) per sfruttare gli elementi che si vedono nella pagina, ad esempio quello in alto sinistra dove scorrono le notizie, occorre installare qualche componente aggiuntivo? 3) futuri upgrade alla piattaforma joomla, potranno inficiare il funzionamento o la compatibilità del template? vi ringrazio anticipatamente della disponibilità. 1) non vedo nulla di particolare se non una miriade di posizioni per blocchi 2) è un modulo se non sbaglio pagamento, ma adesso non ricordo bene 3) no. ti ricordo che devi installare joomla  1.0.12 Board index Joomla!
