Yep! Brand new to Linux.
It is a desktop.Dell Optiplex GX520 .Celeron 533MHz,256 MB Ram,30 GB HDD.
Trying to install Ubuntu 6.06. It already has windows Xp.Wanna have a dual boot.
Initially when trying to boot from Cd after selecting language as english my screen gets frozen.
I try starting ZUbuntu in safe graphics mode.It gets frozen again in when trying to detect my SATA drive.
I get the following material from the forum,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At last, I can install Ubuntu in my PC and make it dual boot.
Thanx a lot guys, for helping me out. Very much appreciate
Let me explain what I did
1st I try put acpi=force irqpoll parameter at the end of the line like mr.wizrd told me.
But nothing happen still Ubuntu can't detect my SATA drive
Then I read thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1782230 that mr.wizrd gave me and wallaa. I figure out that it work when I put the acpi=force irqpoll parameter in between 2nd and 3rd parameter of the line. After that both of my SATA drive appear.
I'm very happy with it.
Thanx again, if not maybe I'm not one of the Ubuntu user
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now i get into command line mode,but, not into X-windows mode.
When trying to look for errors.
It says X-window system version 7.0.0.
X protocol version 11, revision 0, and release 7.0
I get a box which says start when configured properly and back to commandline mode.
That's the whole story.

Amarnath Srinivasan

Severin~
I have the same laptop, and am currently running Dapper on it. Did you,
by any chance get wireless to work with a static IP address ? It's the
only thing so far I haven't able to resolve.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Are you brand new to Linux?
If No -
Tell us about your hardware (lspci, lsusb, ifconfig, iwconfig,last)
Tell us about which version of Ubuntu you're trying to install.
Did you try running a live CD version before the install?
Is this a dual-boot?
Is it a laptop or desktop?
If yes, tell us about the computer you're trying to install Ubuntu on.
(Laptop/Desktop, windows is installed and I want to add Linux/windows is
installed and I want to replace it with Linux, etc)... Anything that
would give the list community some idea of what you're trying to
accomplish.
Beyond the above, if you're getting the dialog I think you're getting,
it's probably a video problem.
Regards
John

Hi!
I haven't tried that... I don't have wireless at home and at university I
have to use DHCP... I let Network Manager do the job, it's a really cool app
(for DHCP)...
Sorry, that I couldn't help...
cheers, Severin

I burn DVDs frequently; back when I was burning CDs (almost always
ISOs of distros) the process was kinda delicate. I was always worried
about running out of CPU or memory and spitting out a coaster.
Last night I burned one through Nautilus, and while it was burning I
grabbed the ISO from /tmp (local drive) and saved it on the NFS server.
At 4G, it took some time, even on a 100-base network.
Today I started burning that ISO over the NFS (previously considered
a feat in itself) and out of boredom, started a game. It took over a
minute for the game, also on NFS to get loaded, but I played it right
through. The DVD, of course, took longer to burn, but that's expected.
What I didn't expect is that *it*actually*worked*fine*.
I'm downloading via BitTorrent, listening to the radio over the net,
been answering mails, even pulled up a game of Mahjongg for a bit. The
system isn't outrageous- a single-P4 at 1.xG, and it never used more than
512M. The write speed just slowed down, and stayed there until it was done.
When we talk about why we like Linux, this is a big part of it: the
parts that are rock-solid. Run out of both ram AND swap? Not a problem-
just wait for it to complete and all will be well. The execution of
software on this platform is *superb*. Linux is no gimmick; it's no
trick- all the arguments [which both inform and irritate us from time to
time] all the hard work...it's paying off.
I can't claim a single atom of the glory- you guys did it all. And
people like you in the kernel, networking, and other parts. Everyone who
writes code, or helps find bugs in it, you rock.

Hello Johnny, this is from the Ubuntu server guide. I imagine this applies
to 6.06.
Roger
Romans 3:23
2.1.1.?System Requirements
Ubuntu 6.10 Server Edition supports three (3) major architectures: Intel
x86, AMD64, and PowerPC. The table below lists recommended hardware
specifications. Depending on your needs, you might manage with less than
this. However, most users risk being frustrated if they ignore these
suggestions.
Table 2-1?Recommended Minimum Requirements
Install Type RAM Hard Drive Space
Server 64 megabytes 500 megabytes
The default profile for the Ubuntu 6.10 Server Edition is shown below. Once
again, the size of the installation will greatly depend on the services you
install during setup. For most administrators, the default services are
suitable for general server use.
Server
This is a small server profile, which provides a common base for all
sorts of server applications. It's minimal and designed to have the desired
services added on top, such as file/print services, web hosting, email
hosting, etc. For these services at least 500MB of disk space would suffice,
but consider adding more space depending on the services you'd like to host
with your server.
Remember that these sizes don't include all the other materials which are
usually to be found, such as user files, mail, logs, and data. It is always
best to be generous when considering the space for your own files and data.
