I just installed ubuntu 8.10 and everything worked flawlessly, it installed everything properly (from what I saw) and everything worked quite allright, it tooka while though [about 40 minutes... or more]
anyways im using ubuntu 8.10 desktop addition, I got it from the bit torrent link (its ALWAYS faster that way for me) and I can login ok, but after I put in my password all I see is the orange background... ill leave it like that forever and nothing happens... and the powerbutton shutdown signal doesnt work... it doesnt commence shutdown, I have to unplug the power cord...
help please?
PC specs:
Dell Dimension 2400 w/ previous windows XP
780mb ram (8mb alloted to onboard video memory)
external usb sound card
Dell e2790p (not sure about the model) 19'[inch] flatscreen lcd monitor
need anything else?
EDIT: I overwrote my windows xp partition (complete first logical and physical drive) and placed ubuntu there
also, the recovery console gices all [OK] signals when going through initial startup... its checking the files as I... type
