If there is a way to mark this thread "solved", I can't find it.

Yes, this worked. Thanks.
Now if that had been labeled "video safe mode" instead, I might have already tried it.

I tried installing from boot disk, but would get a DRM GPU lockup.
The computer has a EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GT with 256 MB of memory.

I took the hard disk to another computer (Intel graphics), and...

20 hours running memtest86+ 5.00 beta 1 with no errors on a system that fails instantly on test 7 of the memtest86+ 4.20 that came with ubuntu.

I am dealing with exactly this problem right now.

Both memory sticks I have report this exact error at exactly the same locations when I run them individually, or togather.

But ONLY if I am...

Did you try a set of monitors that would create a desktop exceeding either dimention of 3968x2560?
This is the number that the Ubuntu screen setting software included in its error message.
The ATI...

Yes, this is what I was trying to do, and I could do if one of the two monitors was set to a lower resolution than optimal.

For instance 2560x1600 and 800x600 would work,or 1920x1080 and...

I did not realize I was disabling Xinerama, but I effectively did just that by selecting a mode in the ATI settings tool.
While in this mode, I was able to set both monitors to full resolution, this...

I have been using the OS drivers for several years due to previous experiance of ATIs binary blobs problematic instalation and issues with video.

I bought a second monitor a few days ago, and the...

I'm using the turboprint drivers, and not noticing a slowdown under 12.04. I havn't tried the other drivers since I upgraded though.

I have partially recovered from this, and I think I know how to proceed to fix the rest.

It appears that a bunch of the settings on the "CompizConfig Settings Manager" got wiped out.

I was able...

I have no menus at all when I try and run Unity. Something broke when I tried to use it under 11.04 and it did not get fixed under 12.04 All I get are a few programms running that are auto-run, their...

I just tried this with no luck. My window decorations were already set to the defaults. Still no decorators on Gnome Classic, only Gnome Classic (no effects)

I can confirm that scangear is now working under 12.04. Well, running at least, so far I've only done a scan preview, but before it wasn't even running.

Yah, that looks like what I am seeing. gnome classic (no effects) is working thanks.

I just upgraded to 12.04. I had been using gnome classic, but now I get no window borders or windo manipulation icons.

I tried unity, but I got nothing but the windows for the programs that auto...

The michael-gruz PPA does not seem to support 12.04 yet. When I try to update, I get this error message:

/dev/video0 is the analog tuner on the ATI. As I said, it does not work.

Try /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0

card type is "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)"

It is buggy to the point of being unusable, and bug reports are ignored.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have sucessefully gotten a picture out of the card, and I...

Forget the analog part of the ATI HDTV Wonder, it is not supported. (It is a frame grabber with no compression support, developers don't seem to want to deal with it)

The digital part works fine...

Linux treats scanners completely separately from printers, so the printer driver has no effect on the scanner.

Do you allow the printer to automatically get its IP address? If so, its address may...

After a suggested work around from someone at TurboPrint, I got a slightly modified version of the work around to work printing on Evance.

Evance has a bug where the "Auto Rotate and Center" fails...

When you installed the printer, did you use the system-config-printer tool to set up the printer?

Did you select "Network Printer" and find the "Canon MX870(userdefinedprinternamehere.local)" in...

I don't think so.
With the built in sane driver, you can scan from the ADF, but only the 1st page.
I can't get the scangear stuff to work since it wants the 32 bit stuff which currently can't...

I have now installed TurboPrint.

With the PPA I can not print 2 sided. I have selected 2 sided printing every where possible, but it always prints single sided.

With TurboPrint, 2 sided...
