How do I get a desktop on Ubuntu Studio 8.04.1 ???
5th attempt (yes, that is five over many days) at installing Ubuntu Studio.
Still no desktop, only getting text which asks for username, then password (entered & OK) then sits there waiting for me to type something in. All media programs & Ubuntu Studio desktop install options were done at install.
Tried amd64 iso for my AMD 64 x2 system, & i386 version for better compatibility. 25 + hours of downloads - (*%#!^)
Tried all recovery mode &/or repair options - still nothing.(*%&^@#$!!)
Then tried command line startx, response = not installed, then followed prompt > sudo apt-get xinit, which started a download, then reboot > log on > command startx, again nothing, now installed but no response.
Then tried Cntrl>Alt>F7 to bring up graphic display -
nothing again [^&*%$#^&%#!!!]
Dual boot system that runs great with WinXP & Hardy 8.04, but can't get Mackie Onyx firewire soundcard to run on Hardy with Ardour, jack or Reaper.
Tried Ffado FW driver install, but copy & paste install instructions for command line didn't work.
Studio was recommended to get FW Onyx audio "in".
Ubuntu Studio web page links to here for support - so how about some support from the guys at Ubuntu Studio ???
My system = amd x2 64 (939 chipsets) +3800 cpu, 4GB RAM DDR400, Gigabyte NVidia Grfx card, Gigabyte MoBo GA-K8N-ProSLI
