I have the same issue (installing 'buntu on a second HDD) - I have found that a custom install is the preferred method (putting GRUB on the second drive) as opposed to chancing mucking with Windows'...
In my case (as is typical), I clean-installed.
There is a difference this time around, though - this install is all-SATA (Samsung SH-223B optical drive source, Maxtor 6LS200 hard drive...
ASUS P5N-EM HDMI
Celeron DC E1200
3 GB DDR2-800 (2 GBx1/1 GBx1)
WDAC5000AAVS 500 GB primary/Maxtor 6LS200 200 GB secondary (both SATA)
Visiontek AMD HD5450 PCIe graphics card (512 MB GDDR3)...
The P4C800E Deluxe runs Lucid (and even Maverick) just fine; what chipset does that motherboard use? It may well use a third-party SATA chipset.
Microsoft USB keyboards (wired and wireless) *are* still supported in 'buntu (all versions, up to and including Maverick Meerkat) - I mention this as the older Wireless Keyboards can be picked up at...
As opposed to running the installer the *hard way*, there is an easier (in fact, far easier) method.
1. Download the ISO (either CD or DVD) of the 'buntu of your choice.
2. Instead of burning...
Apparently, the KDE (and Kwin in particular!) development team found and successfully executed those last nitpicky bugs that plagued the RCs and nightlies leading up to the now-available (via...
Linux distributions have never used drivers for displays; X (first in XFree86, then X.org) used first settings in the respective configuration file (now /etc/X11/xorg.conf) then, if those were absent...
I use x64 on any system with a capable processor and 1 GB of RAM or more. (Linux, Windows, etc.)
Not for increased performance, but increased security (Windows) and increased *stability* (all...
It is definitely a display-driver issue; not one with the display itself.
I have the bigger brother of your display (Acer H233H.bmid; the twenty-three-inch model with HDMI support) and my Mom has...
However, the proprietary AMD drivers *do* support the HD series (from HD2xxx up) including the Mobility models; they support models in that range that the base FOSS drivers don't (such as the HD5xxx...
A heads-up (and correction) as far as the announcement on KDE 4.5 and the Kubuntu PPA - the packages are from the RC1 (not beta 2) SC.
I did notice that a lot of packages are still being held...
That usually does the trick (especially since the block comes from stuff like libqt4-assistant that hates being replaced with libqt5-assistant, which the 4.5 betas use).
A performance warning -...
The issue is largely that gtk and qt4 are almost mutually-exclusive, especially since they use different window decoration by default. In that situation, it may make more sense to use a more neutral...
The problem is *not* that GNOME is gone; it's that the desktop manager (either GDM or KDM) isn't playing nice with other desktop environments. Fortunately, there are add-ons to GDM and KDM (the two...
There are definite issues with all cards that can *force* the issue (proprietary vs. FOSS). With the X1K series, it has now passed into *legacy* status (even in Windows), so no proprietary driver is...
And if you are able to use the compositing, prepare to get blown away.
(I'm curious; what does the default Kubuntu-desktop use for compositing? I'm using OpenGL with the ATI Catalyst driver in...
The Amarok change is not 4.3-triggered. That change has to do with restrictions on certain codec usages in some countries (I ran into this with Amarok prior to 4.3). So Amarok doesn't deserve to...
GNOME is a very stable desktop (which is a plus for those that want exactly that); that is why GNOME is also very popular outside of Linux (it's the default in most respins of OpenSolaris, and with...
DD-WRT is one of the better third-party firmware solutions for Linksys routers (I have it on my WRT54GS, which is the MIMO-G version of the 54G). It (DD-WRT) supports both WPA and WPA2 (though I...
I have had NO such issues with the Catalyst 9.4 (fglrx) drivers in any *buntu for which they were available (Hardy, Intrepid, and now Jaunty); and my situation was further compounded by my monitor...
Okay; you want to dual-boot Windows and a *buntu of your choice, but you don't have (or don't want to burn) a CD (this issue would primarily be for netbooks and other portables, but it's also an...
It is situations like this that Wubi (the official Ubuntu-within-Windows installer) was *designed* for.
For the uninitiated, *yes*, it works with 64-bit Windows *and* 64-bit versions of *buntu (I...
I'm running Intrepid 64-bit (which I jokingly call the Evil I; but after the rotten luck that the US Navy aircraft carrier of that name has had going back to its commissioning) without issues even on...
