Unfortunately things have gone from bad to worse. I shrunk a 35GB section of my D: drive to put Ubuntu onto, but Win8 still won't see it. Now, using EasyBCD I have rendered my system unbootable in...

I just thought of something else. I currently have a 32GB SDHC card, and there's an option to boot from that as well. Could I treat that like a regular hard drive and use that to install 12.10 and...

Okay, I just did the test with Ubuntu Secured, and I checked the BIOS. It looks like I have a hybrid EFI. It has an option for UEFI boot, and when I set it up to boot from a thumb drive, that shows...

I recently bought an Asus X75VD laptop with Windows 7 64-bit preinstalled. The disk is partitioned in the following way (also refer to enclosed pic):

1. 25MB (EFI System Partition)(GPT?)
2. 280GB...

You probably already gave up on it, but unfortunately there is no way. The tuner chipset apparently isn't supported in Linux.

Unfortunately, it's not even supported in Windows. VBox abandoned the...

I'm actually having this same problem too, except I'm using a clean install of Mythbuntu Maverick, because I thought the problem would have come from the previous upgrade install. That install had...

Don't bother. None of the distros seem to like the new chipsets. I think people were expecting them a lot later than Intel sprung them on us, so they haven't had a chance to work support for them...

Unfortunately, it appears that this is an issue in every distro. I am currently running Fedora 12 (I'm waiting until they iron out some of the kinks in 9.10 before I go back to it), and I nearly...

An update...

IT WORKS!!!!!

I now have perfectly-accelerated, VDPAU-powered Nvidia graphics!

Guess there really is something to running a 64-bit distro...

I just wish I had thought of it...

Yes I have, but it does not work. But as luck would have it, my theory about the 64-bit version not having those issues was correct. I installed the 64-bit version of Mythbuntu, and it seems to be...

Well, just like every other problem I've had installing this monstrosity, this didn't work either. So now I'm going to do a clean install, update everything afterwards and uncheck the PAE kernel,...

Think I may have just had an "a-ha!" moment here...

I was just googling Ubuntu and NVidia, and I stumbled upon something I think might help me.

This is the link where I saw it:
...

If that's Nvidia's official site, yes. And I also got them from the restricted drivers menu on Ubuntu itself. Both yielded exactly the same results--a borked system.

That's very disappointing to hear. I don't want to leave Ubuntu because I've worked with it for so long (and because Mythdora's too much of a pain to work with), but it appears that unless something...

Okay, I've gotten my system back. Here are my xorg log, the kernel log and my current xorg.conf file. The only difference between that and the old borked one is that the clean one says "nv" instead...

I have been fighting with NVidia drivers since at least 8.04, but this is the first time I haven't even gotten a low-res screen.

I am truly confused at how people are saying that they're able to...

Do these steps apply to Mythbuntu as well? I would like to install the 185 driver so that it can take advantage of the VDPAU features, but the last time I tried it by enabling the restricted driver,...

I installed the release candidate of Mythbuntu 9.10 about a week before the offical version hit, and I had to follow the procedures listed on this board for getting a Hauppauge HVR-2250 tuner card...

For me, it's that Ubuntu works both on my desktop machine and my laptop, and Fedora 11 works right on neither of them.

To be fair, they both hate the NVidia accelerated drivers. They really need...

I just picked up one of these from Guitar Center yesterday to use with my laptop and Rosegarden. I'm currently running Hardy Heron. Do the same procedure listed for Gutsy users apply to Heron as...
