QUOTE(kbyao @ Jan 17 2009, 06:54 PM) ./configure ok, u extract the file u dl-ed into ur home folder, folder name should be the same as the file u just extracted.bash: ./configure: No such fire or directory so this 1 how to settle  now use console, type in "cd ./[the folder name]", once ur in, use "./configure && make && sudo make install" just copy without the quote. after u done it, u need to set ur system to use this gcc instead of the 1 comes with ubuntu...if u did not have gcc in ubuntu, install thru package manager, dont bother to compile cz u seems to be very fresh in linux...without gcc, u cant make... |

QUOTE(GymBoi @ Jan 21 2009, 11:15 PM) Hi guys .. just found out about linux / ubuntu .. decided to give it a try ok, during the boot screen, there press f6 twice, u'll c a list at ur lower right corner, check acpi=off n noapci, press spacebar to select, once u selected tat 2, press escape once, n do install. this will solve the issue, but acpi wont work, means no cpu throttling. if u search online, u'll see lots of documentation or user solution...best thing about linux is, lots of resources for u, if u be initiative. to use linux, is to learn more about I.T.. if ur not the type that likes to learn, linux will not suit u Downloaded the latest .. 8.10 i think .. burn it into cd and tried to install on my laptop and having sh!t loads of problems =/ 1) 1st i try the 1st option which is ... try or install or something ... so i tried the LIVECD style .. thought no need install 1st ... cannot load .. hang at the UBUNTU loading ( ala XP style ) there ... 2) Then nvm i try install ... even worst straight hang .. doesn't even wanna install 3) Nvm again .. i try the "Install in windows" option ... 1st try fail ... try again .. berjaya install ... now i try to boot ... again hang =.= went pass the "loading screen" .. now at some funny black screen with lots of words .. init: ttyy3 main process blablalbal then repeat damn alot of those similar lines .. .. * Loading ACPI modules ...... Then in the end there got 1 underscore keep blinking for like 15 minutes oredi now .. it doesn't take THAT long to load does it =.= Btw my laptop is 3 years old d .... ASUS M6 laptop ... i just format it few weeks ago so there is pretty much nothing there .. I don't know why it's so slow / hang so much with ubuntu ... My laptop is Pentium M ... RAM is 512 + 256 ... is that enough to run UBUNTU ? Added on January 21, 2009, 11:31 pmhope my words arent harsh, it's just a fact for beginner to accept. linux works best on server/desktop, laptop acpi driver always causes trouble unless u go for not so mainstream distro, tat allows u to customize ur system like in archlinux,slackware,gentoo,debian.. unless u really wan2 discover them, beginner should start with ubuntu for ease of use, but missed the fun of building os from scratch. distro i mentioned just now arent for newbies unless they downloaded the whole documentation on how to make it work. cz u wont get gui interface initially, konsole rocks  This post has been edited by fastcx: Jan 21 2009, 11:31 PM |

QUOTE(GymBoi @ Jan 23 2009, 12:08 AM) It is quite harsh press f6 twice is after u select language on the 1st ubuntu boot screen. next time, ask nicely, dont be cocky since u r asking Oh well since i'm asking for help, what can I say ? Haha .. but i guess it was just unfair that you pin point that ... in fact i was goggling for solution as I asked for help ... i guess it's just hard for someone who has no programming skills or anything to switch from windows .. Btw ur "press f6 twice" thing didn't work .. nothing came out .. i think it's just my com for now .. i'll try to reformat and install again and see how ... thanks anyway Cheers !Added on January 23, 2009, 7:10 am QUOTE(gengstapo @ Jan 22 2009, 12:58 PM) greeting ubuntu cultus 1st of all, its not ubuntu tat creates that driver. n driver support for hd2900xt can be activated once u done installation, at the notification area will pop up restricted driver activation asking whether u wants to activate it. this feature added since 8.04, so dont worry i wonder have the ubuntu support driver for hd2900xt series? i use em' lastime but seems it has a conflict. since im no longer using ubuntu, i wanna know if there is patches available already TQ This post has been edited by fastcx: Jan 23 2009, 07:11 AM |

QUOTE(Reuben @ Jan 23 2009, 10:14 AM) Slight out of topic but in my experience I found OpenSUSE much easier to use than Ubuntu in terms of app management and general handling...but maybe that's just my preference. u r correct, thats y there r so many distro around, to cater different users |

QUOTE(DunkyKung @ May 8 2009, 08:17 AM) all hardware is working,but it is not perfectly ok..when compiz fusion is enabled, i cant play full screen video, have read somewhere dat ati card got many issue on ubuntu..this is my 4th day using ubuntu, kinda like it,there so much things to learn. glad that u like it  the display issue with ati cards r flickery display during video playback, when not in fullscreen. sometimes some newer driver r worst some how...depends on luck. thats y i switch to nvidia...but compiz seems smoother with ati, a bit stutter for nvidia some how  for media player, u can try smplayer(need kde library) or mplayer(native gnome app), most important of all, remember to install restricted stuff in aptitude type in restricted on the quick search, they will come up, check n install them. then install smplayer/mplayer, u'll be ready to enjoy movies, but not dvd yet. |
