  1. the screen resolution refuses to change

    in Hardware

    Posted

    thank you all , but after i ran the nvidai-setteng this message appeared to me

    "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "

    so i ran the command nvidia-xconfig

    so i got the login window in the required resolution but after i looged in the resolution get back t :wall: o 800*600 again

  5. how to backup your installed software?

    in Software

    Posted

    i found a program called aptoncd but unfortunality it's for ubuntu distro only or debian based distro's this tool makes you able to copy all or some of your installed pkg's which you downloaded frome the repositaries so if you reinstalled your distro again you dont need to install it again from the repositories all what you h'v to do is backing up the pkg's from the cd or image file which you created with this tool

    so, is there is any equale program like this but for mdv ? ..ihope
