Hello All. I am a completely new user to ubuntu (8.04) and linux in general. I installed ubuntu on a seperate partition, am able to select it in the boot menu and i can only get as far as a command prompt. The graphical ubuntu loading screen will end up spitting hardware errors back at me, same for video safe mode and all the other options too. I have an 8800gts (G92) and I have been told by a local linux guru that this is my main problem. Note i need to fix this from command prompt (to start). Any suggestions? He wants me to setup my box so he can log in remotely and literally do it for me while he's at his box but I really want to troubleshoot this from my end initially so I can learn :) Thanks for any replies.
