At that point, you should be able to type "startx" and get Gnome up and running as the command should get XF86 up and running. I am suprised that you ask this however, as Ubuntu should be running at level 5, not 3, so that you will get a graphical …
Please read this: [URL="http://news.linux.com/news/06/05/08/1439236.shtml?tid=23&tid=96"]http://news.linux.com/news/06/05/08/1439236.shtml?tid=23&tid=96[/URL] This sure is not posing death of of the kernel, its just needing some time to hunker down and tighten the kernel up. WinSnobs may say what they want, but trust me, the Windows kernel goes through this phase, too.
I would check at the ISP first, then it could be your modem/router. Try rebooting the modem and see if it reconnects. when I first got DSL from Verizon, it was a pretty crummy connection for 6 months to a year. Then it got better, and now it runs rock …
I have found that Debian is a very lightweight distro that I have settled on, even on much faster computers, as it runs so fast. for testing Linux, try running the live version of Knoppix, and it will tell you what your machine can do.
My wife's HP laptop had a similar problem after installing a new battery. It turned out that after contacting the manufacturer it was the battery, probably with a short in it. Try getting a new battery.
I just picked up a new P5SD2-X mobo, and Pentium D 830 for my ATX box which has a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, and CDRW on it. If I drop in the install disk for any version of Linux, it boots, but then cannot find the installer. Has anyone else had this …
I am trying to diagnose a problem with my ASUS A7N8X machine. It has 512 Mb RAM, an AMD XP 2100+ chip, and a Chaintech GForce 4 MX 440 video card in it. The machine runs Debian Linux 3.1r1. I rarely shut this machine off, as it runs a BOINC …
What you may want to do instead of manually editing XF86.config is to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. that will take you though the Debian setup of XF86, which is pretty darn good if you ask me. Messing about in X's setup files is pretty dangerous, as they can be touchy about …
Quick and easy to use distros are Mandriva and Ubuntu. Mono is software that is similar to M$ .NET project. See mono-project.com
Mandriva is not exactly free. All the good stuff about Mandriva is for those who join the Mandriva Club. So its $60+ per year. If I were you I would check out Ubuntu and Debian, as they are free as free beer.
You probably need to install gcc and several other tools for compiling your own programs. But you know that is not the only way to get software. Yast is setup for you to download precompiled rpms of the software you know and want. Check it out.
We need a little more info on how you are logging in and out. To a graphical client? Or to the command line? Which windowing system are you using? KDE, Gnome, or another? You say your system freezes, but you log out manually? What command do you use, and how …
The End.
