Yeah. The next computer I buy will be off the Certified Hardware list.
Re: Beware ubuntu certified hardware
So then of what value is the Certified Hardware list? I was looking at this resource considering some of the models but it sounds like even if you purchase a computer off the Certified Hardware list...
Re: Acer Aspire TimelineX AS1830T Thread
I just got an 1830T i5 a few weeks ago and have already tried to dual boot Win 7 with Ubuntu 10.10 but had issues. Ran hot and wifi was not working right were the biggest deal breakers.
Any ideas...
Don't know? I just started using Ubuntu again after a brief dependence on Win7. I can play mp3 through other browsers but not Chromium.
I want this fixed too.
Well I finally got 8.10 working on my dell dimension 2400. What I did was
mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz/ && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager
(...
I tried installing the 180 driver that is in restricted drivers and got the same result I have now with the 185.xx driver I installed by the instructions in this post. On a separate matter I was...
Yeah I did have an older kernal-selected it and was forced into low graphics mode. No luck with that method but if you have any more ideas I'm open to em'?
thanks.
So I followed the instructions at the beginning of the post and installed the 185.xx driver however I still cannot use compiz! Do I need to blacklist my onboard graphics? How do I do that?
Here is...
I want to get this motherboard too but am not sure if Ubuntu will work....wifi, graphics....? I want a dual core quad. Anyone using this motherboard with Ubuntu? I just head of onboard wifi. Does...
Originally after no luck with the 180 driver from jockey I did try Envy. It suggested the same driver and installed it with the same result-unable to run compiz? I'm going to try the 185.xx and/or...
How would I do that? Are those the instructions at the beginning of the thread? I'm still learning here. Thanks.
I already had a PNY PCI 512mb nvidia 8400gs card and tried to install it on my dell dimension 2400 that has onboard graphics. A fresh Ubuntu 9.04 install recognized the card and recommended driver...
What driver are you using for your 6200 card? There is a forum with PPAs for the 185.xx and 190.xx series drivers which I think would work for this card. Does Ubuntu recognize it and recommend the...
Just did the same on my mini 1000 and seems to have fixed the annoying autodim. Thanks for the tip.
From my expreience nothing past 8.04 works fully out of the box on the dimension 2400. If you want 9.04 I think your gonna have to get a PCI graphics card and maybe even sound card. Don't worry...
I have a PNY PCI 8400gs 512mb graphics card. If i install with the 185.xx or 190.xx sereis drives does that support audio on this card or do I need a seperate sound card for that. I ask because I...
I dont think the BIOS A05 on the dimension 2400 has an option to boot from USB. If you dont have a graophics card and want to use compiz 8.04 is your best bet. You can purge compiz for later...
Has anyone in this thread installed the 185.xx drivers with PPA for use with a dell dimension 2400 PNY PCI 8400gs 512mb card? I would like to know if this works before I buy-sound and video.
Strange. I have a dell dimension 2400 and have not been able to install any Ubuntu past 8.04 do to unsupported graphics. Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 work but you have to purge compiz. Your other option...
Latest BIOS is A05 . Get a graphics card or install Ubuntu 8.04 .
I have a dell dimension 2400 and mine came with a DVD drive. At restart/power on press f2 and go into boot sequence deselect harddrive by pressing spacebar and select cddrive by same method. Switch...
I have an iPhone and have not been able to successfully sync it with Ubuntu. I can't believe more people arent on this thread. I also want to know which smartphones work with Ubuntu! Anyone out...
Thats what I want to know! Anyone out there have a Palm Pre and if so are you successfully using it with Ubuntu in any capacity? Is the Palm Pre live with Pidgin, Rhythmbox, Banshee....anything?
Does anyone know if you can or will be able to sync a Palm Pre to Banshee or Rhythmbox to transfer music, videos, pics, and podcasts?
WOW! Thanks. That seems like it will be very helpful. So all you did was install those files and BAM! it worked? I guess I will order the 8400gs 512mb PNY PCI card again and see if it works. Stay...
