For absolute starters, I'd suggest downloading and test driving several of the ubuntu variants to see which user interface is the easiest for you to use. Then, machine #2 sounds like to obvious...

Thanks Bashing-om! Ugh ... it is frustrating when the PPAs are not kept up-to-date. That appears to block me from doing some compatibility testing between a PowerBook and a Raspberry Pi.

I am not familiar with the pfSense firewall, but your description does sound like the firewall isn't allowing the query to pass through. When you say "all the ports are open," did you open both tcp...

Thanks Lars. I had already tried the 1280x854 resolution in the xorg.conf file without success. Adding
video=radeonfb:1280x854-32@60 into the yaboot file solved the problem.

I pulled the disk drive from the PB G4 and attached it to the machine where I stored the G4 backups before the disk wipe. I found this very generic xorg.conf file in place under the old ubuntu 10.04...

Good catch Varun.

For me, the Black Screen of Death after installation of (the Mint 13 derivative of) Ubuntu 12.04 was related to the built-in nVidia C51PV GeForce 6150 graphics on a A8N-VM CSM motherboard.

I captured photos of the Mint 14.1 boot errors (there were many and some scrolled by fairly fast), but they are probably irrelevant outside a mint forum. The .xsession-errors file in the...

bogan: Thanks for the bit of tribal knowledge on the nvidia drivers. Except for the bug-ridden ones, such info has been hard to find.

I'm not using Chrome, so cannot tell you exactly what it does when you install it, but it could certainly be re-configuring your system to use a specific DNS server pair. Now, if everyone who...

Sorry, I haven't been checking this thread regularly.

The command would be "cat /etc/network/interfaces" (without the quotes).

Exclusive of VM, my root partition has about 17G used, so 50G or so would be more than generous for the OS. Adequate swap space would be 2X the memory you have (or are planning) plus 10%.

Tagging my similar problem onto this thread rather than creating a new one.
