When you open terminal does the window border load as in where the close, minimise and maximise etc buttons are? Can you see any of your files on your desktop? I ask as I'm having a similar issue.
I've just tried re-installing the AMD 13.4 blob driver but nothing has changed. With regards to changing the DE I've always had an issue with my new machine where I cannot log out. Doing so results...
I've rebooted several times but to no avail.
I've just done dist-upgrade but it says there was zero packages updated/installed.
In update managers log it appears everything went okay. I note that we updated some gnome packages. Perhaps...
Click the 'edit post' button, 'go advanced' and in the prefix drop down select solved.
So yesterday just before turning the computer off for the night update manager popped up requesting to update some packages. I did so but from what I remember (goldfish memory) the desktop just...
So I had several partitions on one of my disks. Only one of them I wish to recover and I so set off using GNU parted. I recovered one, unwanted, partition by starting at zero and going to the end of...
My exhaust fan is from Antec and has a neat hardware switch to toggle between low, medium and high fan speeds although my intake fan does not has such luxury. When I'm playing games like l4d2 my CPU...
I had no quarrels with my radeon 7790 in the previous PCIe slot. However the other available slot has more bandwidth and so today I decided to switch. Initially both unity and the window borders...
I have no use for some of the default folders in my home directory. Such as 'Downloads', 'Public' etc. I've found that your supposed to edit the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file. I've deleted the folder...
So I'm hoping to get a 7790 in the coming days. I've not read any problems with such video card under Linux but that isn't to say there isn't any. I ask on different forums who's video cards are...
Ah that's solved it thanks (can't mark thread as solved).
So Ubuntu doesn't take too long to boot from scratch and I the size of the swap space needed takes a sizeable chunk from my first hard drive that has Ubuntu installed. I've removed the 'hibernate'...
So I just built my PC and just yesterday figured out how to boot from USB with my troublesome Gigabyte motherboard. I installed raring and everything was absolutely fine. I'd turned the PC off...
Okay I finally found the answer. I'd been trolling through lots of other people who had the same issue and managed to uncover the one person who detailed the fix. I'll share it here so the 'cure' is...
I've tried all the different combinations of dis/enabling different settings and using different USB devices with raring and quantal but still to no avail. Look out for a cheap SATA DVD drive in the...
I've tried them on my off the shelf PC (Lenovo) and they do boot. I've tried my different USB devices with legacy mode en/disabled and to no avail.
**There is an option for CD/DVD booting which...
Oops. By the boot menu I mean when you press f12 and it displays the list of devices you can boot from. I went into the BIOS/UEFI and found there was two settings entitled 'Legacy USB' and 'Legacy...
So I finally built my first PC yesterday. Now that all the hardware aspects are done I switched to install 13.04 via USB. But it wouldn't list any of my USB devices in the boot menu. I decided to...
GPU With New PC Build
I've been looking at the 5800k from AMD for some time for my first PC build. But I'm unsure with regards to it's IGP. I've totaled prices and found that getting a quad core athlon with a radeon 6670...
Yes it would be primarily for playing games. I know there's not really any resource intensive game for Linux ATM but perhaps in the future.
I thought if you wanted to use two GPU's you had to have...
I've read that using more than more graphics card under Linux be it either AMD or nVidia yields less then desirable results. I'm (attempting ;) ) to build my first PC soon as was wondering about...
