Exactly. Tearing is created by either Vsync being disabled, or out of sync with your monitor's refresh rate, which if I had to guess, windows does NOT have enabled (hence your suprise).

Technically it wouldn't cause a ton of problems, except for the fact that 81GB of your HDD wouldn't be used for anything, even a partition. You will need to use Gparted (or the partition manager you...
Okay, so you have the same gfx card that i do. Have you tried aby hacks (such as gpu validation override) or anything like that? I use flash-aid on firefox and it works wonders. Plus, the issue seems...
Pick a random project you would like to do with Ubuntu, such as setting it up as a HTPC, and do it! the best way to learn Ubuntu is through experience, and although the tutorials can be useful, the...
What are the specs of your pc? I know (from bitter experience) that some graphics cards to not have "optimized" drivers for linux by default, which can result in extremely poor performance when you...
Re: Newb Command Question
Don't worry, everyone has gone through this part of their Ubuntu experience. After all, no question is a dumb question!
What you may be doing, as someone else said, is pulling up the "run"...
If that is still happening, that probably means the primary partition on your hdd is still there, and has grub on it. When you install windows, if you go to advanced at one point, you should see a...
I believe that /boot has to be in the primary drive, and /home/ has to be in the secondary if you want it to boot. Also, technically, 4 GB of ram SHOULD be 4096 MB, but manufacturers like to round,...
Just to clarify, this link is what worked for me.
Perhaps you accidentally hit a hardware switch that shut off the wireless card? Other than that, I cannot see Ubuntu spontaneously refusing to recognize wireless networks...
If this issue is hardware related, which I think it's not, lay particular attention tk the fans on your computer. Do they spin up at all when using Ubuntu? If they do not, that is the issue. Ubuntu...
Good to hear:)
Well, I suggest booting into a livecd, pulling everything you need off that drive, and reinstalling, because it sounds like you hosed your os. Just remember, logging out does bad things to the update...
No, it will not, though if something goes wrong and the installation aborts, you may have a damaged system. Essentially a upgrade is a gigantic package update, with a few configuration changes.
Yes, there is a program called Xboot. It is a free application, and you can download it from here:http://sites.google.com/site/shamurxboot/download
You can use xboot on both disks, and USB drives...
You may have to boot using a cd. Some older computers cannot boot from a USB device, which is the caveat of using a flash drive to install Ubuntu. I have a six year old laptop (older, actually) which...
I think the system IS overheating, but it isn't a hardware issue. Do you hear the fans in your computer turn on ever when you are using Ubuntu? Because that is one bug in Ubuntu, on some systems the...
The answer to both of your questions is yes. You can see all Windows partitions from Ubuntu, and read/write from them. You can also create partitions using a free partition manager called Gparted,...
Yeah, but I would really like to be able to run the applications I run in Windows on ubuntu. Quite honestly, thats the only thing that is keeping me from removing Windows and sticking with ubuntu.
So you decided to reinstall windows? good. Now, if you still want to use ubuntu, let's reinstall it, and see if the problem happens again (since you now have no sensitive data to spend hours...
Well, one thing you must do is install windows first. ALWAYS install windows first, unless you want to go through the agony of reinstalling GRUB. But besides that, I see nothing else you should do,...
Well, you have two options, one that is easy, if you have the right disk, one that is hard(er) but will work, regardless. The first option is to boot from a vista (and I think win 7) recovery cd. If...
Yes, welcome to the forums! I am happy Ubuntu has been working well for you, since it can be a headache for others. If you ever have any questions, you should post them in the absolute beginners talk...
Another opion, if you just want to get everything back to pre-Ubuntu state, is to do this.
If you have a windows recovery cd, put it in and boot from it, like you did with the Ubuntu cd. Open ip...
the next step us to get your data off your hard drive, if you have any sensitive data in windows, since a reinstall seems to be in your future:(. Go to places, and select the hard drive that does not...
