2 more days. based on a certain article i've read, there's pros and cons to download the release candidate. cons are... it's not the final release and there "could" be bugs and all. pros are... download now, and avoid all the heavy traffic or server crash or whatever on the release date... especially to those who's updating instead of dloading the iso. the last time i was downloading Feisty Fawn 7.04, the server crashed.
im using the rc version now, and so far there's not a single problem that i've face... i say it's as good as the final version. |

Hi All,
I've run Gutsy for more than 12 hrs now... It's definitely stable like the previous feisty... In this version now it has "deskbar applet" it is similar to spotlight (mac os x) and searchlight in Vista included... fast user switching like the other 2 os'... renamed gaim to pidgin... support for the new 8k series nvidia and the 2k series ati... firefox 2.0.0.7 included... My problem during the initial stage was that installation was unsuccessful, the disk couldn't copy 2 files onto the partition (one of them is grub)... later rerun the live cd again and did the same thing but this time I used the disk partitioner to delete the partition making it to freespace and then reformat again to ext3... finally all the files were copied onto the hdd and now everything's running sweetly on my rig... I'll post more post-installation comments as the hour progress, regards Fa'iq |

after upgrading, i can't activate the the compiz, which i was running happily when i was back using feisty fawn. DANG!
any ideas? ************************************************************************************************* Damn, my ATI 9550 card is blacklisted. According to here, http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist Ignoring the blacklist Some times you want to start compiz-manager even though compiz-manager blacklists it, this is easy enough: QUOTE SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager Or in the case of distributions that name the script 'compiz': QUOTE SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz You can also store this value, where it is depends on your distribution, usually it is a matter of putting QUOTE SKIP_CHECKS=yes in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager . But where do it find ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager? Where is it located? This post has been edited by syyang85: Oct 20 2007, 11:07 AM |

Found the solution somewhere in the ubuntu forum.
Finally, my eye candies are back! Solution: QUOTE In order to get the desktop effects to work I first had to install the ATI driver using the Restricted Drivers Manager. ********************************************************************************Then I had to install xserver-xgl using the Synaptic Package Manager located under System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager. Just do a search for xserver-xgl in the Synaptic manager to find it. While you are there you might want to install the compizconfig-settings-manager as well. After those are installed reboot and then you should be able to select Extra in the Visual Effects tab under System-->Preferences-->Appearance. To run the CompizConfig Settings Manager, you just run /usr/bin/ccsm The thunder just zapped my NIC and modem. =.= Luckily I have both spares This post has been edited by syyang85: Oct 20 2007, 05:05 PM |

hi .. i just installed ubuntu 7.10 .. previously had some experience with 7.04 and 6.10 ... however with the earlier 2 versions i was running on my desktop with LAN connection
now i installed 7.10 on my laptop .. BenQ S41 .. which has 8600GT gfx .. previous ubuntu versions not really compatible with this gfx so i didnt install i managed to get everything working ... including INTEL PRO WIRELESS AGN .. problem is .. my wifi connection seems to be lagging or more specifically intermittent .. signal strength is good .. when i do a speed test it shows nicely 1200kbps or more .. but when i surf its always lagging .. it seems the wifi is more comfortable with BURST of signal or consistent signal running all the time .. so when i surf and read and clik i do not always send or receive wifi signal .. but when i do clik it again it takes forever to load a page .. just like 56k .. any ideas why ??? |

I have a some problems here, I hope I would be able to get some assistance here.
1st problem, my wireless connection, I have no problem connecting to my wireless connection if I disable its encryption, but when I uses WPA AES encryption, I failed to connect to it. The network manager applet just shows the connecting animation (where the bottom circle is green while the top circle is grey). I doesn't feel secure if I leave my wireless connection unencrypted.  I am using 3com usb 3rcusb10075 wireless device, )already installed its driver using ndiswrapper with the inf and sys file from the windows firmware that comes with the CD.) and Dlink DI-524 router. 2nd problem, also wireless even if I disable encryption, my unbuntu is able to get connected, but with no IP address, as I had disable DHCP, the only way I can get my connection to work is to disable encryption and enable DHCP. I try to insert the infor into etc/network/interfaces but after I set my wireless usb which is given the name eth1, then the wireless option will dissappear from the network-manager applet when I restart. 3rd problem, the "beep" sound. every time, when there are errors, my system unit will unleash a "beep" sound, but my sound card are running without a problem, as I can hear the login music, and mp3 and etc. Some example of when the "beep" sound occurs are :- i) when I open terminal, then I press backspace on the keyboard when there is nothing to back. ii) when I entered the wrong user/password during login, then the message to tell me the error will show up right? but when that happens and I re-enter my username and password, each key that I press will result the "beep" effect. I just don't understand why it doesn't utilize my sound card to beep, but instead uses the motherboard to beep. Is this scenario normal? or there are some configuration that I need to play with. Thanks for the help. |

Well at the moment i'm not facing any problem.
All i did was fresh install , managed to get compiz working and oso kiba-dock. Didn't notice any slow connections on firefox or updating(using lan but haven't tried out wireless yet), btw one thing i notice is the startup is abit faster compared with 7.04 Sounds,screen brightness, wireless,shortcut keys all are working.(Lucky me) Btw i'm using quite a slow notebook Intel 1.33Ghz   Now waiting for Leopard |

Hi guys!
Finally managed to do a clean dualboot install on my Ferrarri 4000 which comes with the DREADED Broadcom 4318 wifi chipset. It was a nightmare on Feisty, and I was expecting the same with Gutsy - however I was proven wrong. My WEP home network was detected in no time (this was after installing the restricted drivers for the Wifi Chipset). Best way to do that is just connect directly thru Cat5 to a router. I'm gonna try getting the compiz addon. Have some questions tho - my boot time is suspiciously longer on Gutsy compared to Feisty, and Firefox takes some time to get websites. Is that anything to do with the IPV6 thingi as mentioned above? Thanks! |

Well basically it should just start Ubuntu from the CD, but that should give you an idea what the problem could be.

So i went on the forums and got this:Open firefox. Type in about:config at the address bar and type in network.dns.disableIPv6 at the Filter field. Double-click on the appeared Preference Name so that the value will be changed to True. This will not effectively disable ipv6. It's just that this would save you a few seconds when accessing a web page as firefox assumes that the webserver is inside a ipv4 network. Hence, it would only query for a domain<->ipv4 translation. |

Advise for AV710 sound card user.
use this asound.state in this site http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3375341 You'll get much better sound. No more noises. if you experience sound being played "slow motion". go to terminal type: alsamixer change the clock to 48000. that will fix the problem |

disabled the IPv6 in firefox .. now browsing back to normal liauu ... thanks
another thing i noticed about this 7.10 is everything is much more laggy compared to 7.04 .. anyone else experiencing this as well ??? i put the resource monitor up on taskbar ... even browsing seems to suck up quite significant CPU power .. hhmmmmmmmmm |

Been keeping an eye on that, it seems yes, a little bit slow when starting up...but once up I can't tell the difference from Feisty, even with Compiz on.

Anybody tried the Kubuntu version? i have problem mounting HDD with it. It won't mount HDD other than itself and thumbdrive. at first I thought it was because my other HDD was in NTFS, but it has built in NTFS-3g (latest build). Then I found out it won't even mount other linux (ext2 and ext3) partitions also. I wanted to use Amarok on this but my MP3s are in the other linux partition. My HDD can be accessed fine on Ubuntu and even teh Kubuntu partition can be read on Ubuntu.

i'm a Kubuntu user, if you have problems mounting, try this
CODE sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 change the hdb1 according to your partition numbering |

in Linux, drivers are installed automagically with the concept of "just works". not like Windows where you have to hunt for drivers. but you have to install restricted drivers yourself
go to System Settings > Advanced tab > Restricted Drivers those components that are not in use need to be installed, just tick in the box and the restricted drivers will be installed, you need to do this in Administrator mode, just click the button on the bottom right |

Another question, when u guys login to hotmail.com Can you access the full version or the classic version? I'm stuck in classic version. the web page said it supported Firefox 1.5 but im already using 2.0  *fixed the problem above by changing [Gutsy] to [Firefox] in [general.useragent.vendor] in [about:config] in Firefox. Apparently, Ubuntu developers badged their own name into the Firefox built in this release. And umm..some of my favorite plugin for Pidgin.

word in the ubuntu forums is that the gutsy gibbons isnt that good a release yet. Do look up on the fix for laptop hard disks. Ubuntu reads the hard disk unnecessarily and increases the something something count which is not good.

i am having very laggy probs with 7.10 too .. opening and closing progs is very jerky and slow .. the compiz effects are oso extremely jerky
but disabling IPv6 has sort of solved slow connectivity prob .. currently desktop has been leaving me shadows .. eg. when i open a window and then close that window .. a shadow or outline of that window remains on screen .. sometimes it goes away by itself sometimes it doesnt ... another thing is the wireless .. sometimes its all perfect when i startup .. sometimes it did not even detect the wireless .. hahahahaaaa .. so i have to reboot .. sometimes more than once in order to detect my wireless .. but once its connected it stable .. my spec .. BenQ S41 c2d 1.8 ddr2 2gb 8600M GS 256mb gfx dual boot with MS windows |

my spec pentium d 3.2ghz
nvidia 5600 128mb ddr2 3gb 1 partition for windows and 1 partition for ubuntu. Running fine with no problem at all, as for wireless dont use the network-manager that comes with gutsy, but install WICD instead, it can manage my wireless network better as should I say that the stock network-manager can't even connect to wpa encrypted AP, and doesn't support static IP. |

damn...i almost got cut off from my OSes while installing.
For some reason when i tried to boot it after installing it,it says the partitions doesn't exist ? went into windows and wiped out all partitions and try it again,then the stupid Grub boots from my 1st HDD which windows is installed,due to the deleted linux partition in the second HDD,it refuses to boot! gotta try it again today and whats the 512mb swap for? and is there any changes in GRUB that came with 7.10? like they changed the places where they are installed? Last time,GRUB boots from my 1st HDD,but as mentioned above,all configuration files are stored within the 2nd HDD. |

I dont think currently we need to use anti virus, since virus creator usually wont bother to design any virus target at linux because of small number of user.

Well there aren't many viruses for Linux but from what I read in the Internet, it is picking up. I guess sooner or later we will have to use it.
By the way, how much space do you allocate for Ubuntu ? I give Ubuntu 15GB only, do you guys think it is too little ? |

i suppose if u just allocate 15gb for ubuntu alone it is more than enuff ... unless u are storing lots of data in the same partition as well ...
anybody facing the prob i am facing below ??? there is an outline/shadow of a previously opened window on my desktop ... it goes away sometimes but sometimes doesnt ... after reboot it clears up but will come back again randomly .. refer to the screenshot below ...

your com specs are way higher than minimum requirement, and with the hardware listed above, its guarantee to work without need to install extra driver

hello...i managed to installed gutsy gibbon on my comp after failing with feisty and dapper. i really like it and i think the time for me to say goodbye to windows is almost near. this is my comp specs..
amd athlon xp 2500 barton running stock 1.8GHz 1 GB DDR ram (512 x 2) kingston ati radeon 9800 Pro i always wanted to try other OS than windows and already eyeing myself for Macs..but after i installed gutsy on my pc and explored it for almost 2 days...i think i found the OS that i need, and its free...and i managed to make it look exactly like the latest Mac OS Leopard the compiz fusion 3d thingy..is freaking awesome! i dont think my computer can handle that kind of 3d with xp..the only thing i miss with windows will be MS Office...and i cant seem to get my all in one canon MP160 to work in gutsy ..other than these, everything are just awesome.. |

if you used to photoshop, then you probably find gimp, a bit clunky, but it get the job done.
video, should work, not sure about connecting your video camera to the computer, but it should work. you need to install video editing software on your own, it is not installed by default, but it is in the repository, just use synaptic |

As long as your ntfs partition is mounted and the torrent client knows where to save files, you're fine... I have heard problems with deluge happen often... I personally recommend kTorrent. It get's past traffic shaping well (>100KBps downloads for all files some times) and is streamline with all necessary functions (RSS, widgets) and there's no bugs in the latest release.btw, i store all my torrents to my windows ntfs partition....can tat be the problem? thx |

It's because I enable it, that's why it's running in low graphics mode. I need to disable the driver to get resolutions higher than 800x600. I'm trying to set it up using Envy now. Hope it'll work.

even if i use open source drive, it wud still run at low graphic mode
think ATI sux on Ubuntu, or another way round, whatever tried some solutions found online, after reboot, voila, 1280x1024 resolution, but stuck at login screen. kept entering the username and password but the screen will go blank for a second and return back to the login screen after awhile, reformatted and using windows now, give up This post has been edited by cyew86: Dec 2 2007, 02:05 PM |

Problem solved via Envy. Just run the thing and it'll configure everything for you. Should have downloaded that long ago, instead of wasting my time configuring maually.

Note that you will need ATI fglrx 8.42.3 and later to enable desktop effects without installing Xgl. Also, you will need to modify /usr/bin/compiz to whitelist the ATI fglrx driver. ATI Catalyst 7.11 will also work.but now dunno why i cant enable desktop effect even with the proprietary driver To whitelist the ATI fglrx driver, open /usr/bin/compiz as root, then find the following line: CODE WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810" Replace with: CODE WHITELIST="fglrx nvidia intel ati radeon i810" Note that you need to enable to Composite and AIGLX ServerFlag in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. |

question 1:
basically if you are ubuntu, just type this in terminal sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup actually, it really doesn't matter for you to ends you backup file to .backup, it can be anything, it just to make sure that it got a different name, which actually answer question 2: in ubuntu, when need root access, start your command with sudo. in other, type su <enter> then type your root password. then you will see a root shell. which is indicated with #, then just type your command. as for your wireless, need to which what brand you use, erm fat chance it is not supported, so you probably need ndiswrapper, which might or might not work.

which is why, i ask for a model, first, because, i do not guarantee that it works.
looks like it may not be supported, on linux. need to take time, to check out how to install using ndiswrapper. which might not work at all. the idea is to use, ndiswrapper, to run the windows driver, go check how to do that, with google. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/...d,installation/ but i do not guarantee that it will work This post has been edited by sweemeng: Dec 6 2007, 06:32 PM |
