Installation issues / Too stupid question for this forum ?
« on: February 15, 2008, 09:00:08 am »
I finally believe that my problems regard the videoboard as any changes and choices I do under Kubuntu affect the system, here are 3 cases I experienced.
Is there a way for me now to set the system to use the nvidia standard driver and get the image back or should I perform another installation ?
Thank you for helping


1st
When I install Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon everything works fine, on the fresh installation I start the first LinuxMCE install, let the PC to use the proprietary nVidia driver when prompt and get the system without graphic once restarted

2nd
Fresh Kubuntu installation, new start for LMCE which now works but at VGA res, once installed it asks me to change to the right driver and I say yes, the system works until when prompts me to the login page, I cannot get through of it.

3rd
Fresh Kubuntu installation, enable nvidia driver, select proprietary driver, installed LinuxMCE and screen goes blank after reboot, number keys have no effect

Installation issues / Failed start X

Please help with with my CD installation ...

Hardware configuration :
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
AMD AX2 4000+
RAM Corsair 2 gb dual channel
VB Captiva 7300 GT
TVtuner Terratec HT PCI
2 HD SATA Maxtor
1 DVD NEC

When I install Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon everything works fine, on the fresh installation I started the first LinuxMCE install, told the PC to use the proprietary nVidia driver when prompt and got the system without graphic once restarted; as I didn´t know how to fix it I restarted from the beginning ...

Part II
Fresh Kubuntu installation, new start for LMCE which now works but at VGA res, once installed it asks me to change to the right driver and I say yes, the system works until when prompts me to the login page, I cannot get through of it ! I put Id and pass but get prompted again to a fresh login page ...
Now everything is left to my fantasy and I restart the system holding the shift key down in order to restart the wizard (having assumed mine is a videocard problem) but I get to a blu page which says that X cannot be started.

Should I permit my fantasy to  proceed and go to Part III  ???

In Part III I would reinstall kubuntu, update the nVidia driver and enable it, then start a new LMCE install ...

What do you think about it ?
Thanks for advice, ciao

Installation issues / Network problems after CD installation
« on: February 04, 2008, 09:50:48 am »
Good morning to everybody,
I am totally new to this world and totally unskilled, nevertheless I decided to move from Windows to Linux
and try to set everything up ...
What by now I don´t understand and know how to manage is the fact that the onboard lancards which did correctly work under Kubuntu 7.10 are after the LMCE installation deactivated.
It must be for sure some wrong choices I did while installing but how can I solve it ?
If I just try to activate them I get no result.
Can anyone help me with this ?

Btw, the orbiter start from KDE isn´t successful, I guess it depends on the network problem, am I right ?
Thanks
