  • Installation problems relating to HDD

    Built a barebones system recently to install Ubuntu 8.04System details :AMD Athlon 64x2 5000+, XFX GeForce 8200 MoBo, XFX GeForce 8500GT Video card, 3 g RAM, Seagate 500g Sata HDD   So when I fire the system up for the first time I got to step 4 of the install partition HDD, except no HDD is recognized so I had to proceed as a live user.  Reboot system and before I get to the initial screen it crashes sending me to the busybox screen.  Restart same thing.  It seems I can boot up the live version 1 out of 6 or 8 tries and Ubuntu can never detect the HDD.  Any suggestions?  I have searched this extensivly but cant find a solution, there seems to be some problems with seagate hard drives, I am thinking of trying a Western Digital, but before I do I would like to know if I am missing something.TIA

  • ATI Graphics Driver Help

    I'm wicked pumped to use ubuntu and learn about linux. I'm not a computer noob as I'm fluent in Windows XP, just not linux. Many times I have had this same problem though...

     

    After a fresh install of ubuntu, i have to change my session go failsafe gnome for graphics issues. After that, I get the message to install the new updates, so i install them and restart. I continue to boot up into failsafe gnome again. Then I get a message about downloading and installing the restricted driver for my ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card. I would download that, and restart. Then change my session to Gnome. All goes well. I can restart and then have no graphics issues then. I later follow this tutorial on how to install compiz-fusion.All goes well. Then after i set some easy effects, such as animations, the water and fire effect and other small ones, i would restart (for reasons unknown, maybe to boot into xp or just to restart ubuntu) and hten i would get a promped for low graphics mode. I would sometimes attempt to set it up, but i think that i would do it wrong so i would just continue and boot into failsafe gnome. i then would look at my hardware drivers and see that ATI accelerated graphics driver is enabled and green light showing it in use, but my resolution would only be set at 800x600 and couldnt be set to anything higher. if i would disable them, then restart, all would be fine. I'd have the 1048x700 something ( i cant remmeber the y and x ), but i would have no effects. I would use EnvyNG to remove drivers. then boot ubunut into recovery mode. fix the package and repare my x server thing, and reboot into failsafe gnome. then use EnvyNG to autodetect my graphics hardware and install the necessary drivers. after that i would reboot into gnome but get the white screen of death. and failsafe would have no effects. i was wondering what the heck the deal is. and if i should use these two tutorials i found to use the open source driver.

  • Virtual Box and Windows XP

    I run Fedora 9 Sulphur and I recently had to enter a competition that required me to compile a windows binary for my applications. Being the Linux fanatic I am I don't do windows and I really didn't want to have to install windows on one of my machines. I decided the best option was to go with virtualisation,  but I wanted to do so while staying open source. So I stumbled across a nice program called Virtual box! I installed the open source version from www.virtualbox.org (don't worry Linux is Linux is Linux so it works on Ubuntu). I installed the .rpm for Ubuntians it will be .deb after I installed it I booted into Virtual box then went to:

    system->Administrator->users and groups

    found vboxuser under the groups tab and added myself to the group. Don't add root, add your user (you could add root if you knew what you were doing). Now click new follow the steps set up a virtual hard drive make sure you say your installed windows xp it will ask you to put the CD in the optical drive or it will ask you to browse for the legal .iso file. From here on in its the same as a regular xp install and when its done you have windows installed with a dynamic virtual disk.

    Note there are some really cool features of virtual box such as intergration etc, so in theory it would be possible to run ubuntu and fedora with one running gnome and the other kde :D. 

  • Ubuntu Live CD I made just for the eeepc

    If you visit Ubuntu guide on every step given to  install Ubuntu on an Asus eeepc, you know it works, but seems pretty lengthy. So messing with the Ubuntu Customize Kit, I removed, & added the drivers, suggested changes, & some entertainment which I personally would use, or I find work well.

    Directions to install this ISO to a USB stick, or a SD Card visit :

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

    Directions I took to modify what was needed to work right off the live install:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC

    Software package to make my own ISO at:

    http://uck.sourceforge.net/  (I find works well only with 7.10 at the moment.)

     

    So here's the torrent for it.
