I had to plug in an ethernet cable and put http://ports.ubuntu.com/ in my sources.list. apt-get update and then you can get the kernel to install.

I installed the libva debs from the mplayer-vaapi website. I had to use --force-depends to get the libva-dev package to install, but I figure that's probably okay if it compiled.

Yeah if you do a net install you don't have the issue with conflicting packages causing the install to fail (just the missing kernel). They must have fixed the lpia packages after the release was...

The simplest way is to use the "Users and Groups" control panel under "Administration" (or sudo vigr).

1. That's the one. If you're not that familiar with the command line, it will not be an easy one to install. In addition to the problems I mentioned before, X won't start in VESA mode without the...

Seems like the hardest part is getting the lpia alternate iso for Intrepid to install. It will fail to install the kernel and also doesn't complete the install itself due to some xorg package...

Yeah, I think we all regret it. :) That note about drm-poulsbo was just for people who want to compile the driver from source. You should be able to just add this repo to your sources.list (do...

dell-mini.archive.ubuntu.com, hardy-dell-mini repo, libgl1-mesa-dri-psb, psb-video and xorg-modules-xpsb packages. See also http://gma500.wiki-site.com

noravanq, search the thread for dual boot. Yes, the UNR installer will wipe your whole disk. I think it is easier to deal with the XP install overwriting grub than it is to manually install UNR.

Hmm, is the "wl" module loaded (check lsmod)? Maybe try this: apt-get --reinstall install linux-restricted-modules

Post #420 has a way to get correct resolution with the vesa driver.

Make sure you have the latest version of the various video driver packages. The changelog mentioned something about updates to the HDMI support.

For the chroot: chroot /mnt /bin/bash (this makes /mnt your new / and runs a bash shell within the new root)

Did you do all the steps up to the bind mount for /dev? Were you able to mount...

I just wanted to mention that since I posted that link to the hardy-dell-mini-proposed repo I have realized that the same packages are also in regular old hardy-dell-mini on that server.

Also,...

Hey everyone, I've created a Wiki and added a message back at the beginning of this thread. Feel free to add to the wiki.

Post #243.

I think this is what you need to do: in your sources.list, for the hardy-dell-mini-proposed repo you should have "main restricted universe" instead of just "main". Then make sure you also have the...

snowpine, yes, there are huge hardware differences between the Mini 9 and Mini 12. However, there is an easier way: I have found that Ubuntu's usb-creator program works much better than UNetbootin. ...

Here's the status with the latest drivers: psb_dri.so still only works with Xorg 1.4, so if you want DRI you're stuck with Hardy. However, the Xpsb module works with Xorg 1.5, so you can have xv...

Hmm, I don't remember the exact procedure I used. Maybe wait until you get the first failure before mounting the USB on /cdrom? Sorry I can't be more specific: I had to fiddle with it a lot before...

Here's how to get the alternate installers to work with USB:

* Use UNetbootin to copy the installer to USB flash
* Boot the installer
* Before you try to install, switch to the F2 console and...

Yay, after 400 posts we finally have a proper video driver!

I'm installing the latest jaunty lpia daily to see if this driver is compatible with xorg 1.6.

Fitzkarraldo, what do you mean by "with the previous install"? It just started doing it with this latest update? Or it just stopped?

I'm not sure why the scrolling would be slow, but I did...

Try adding this to /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm not sure if all the dependencies and everything will work out though.

The only thing that comes to mind is that Flash uses OpenGL to do accelerated full screen display. It doesn't really matter though, because the code that feeds into that is so slow as to makes full...
