[ilugd] Ubuntu problems on Dell Inspiron 1420
hi, I was trying to install Kubuntu from the Kubuntu 7.04 CD distributed with the delegate kit, but got an error that said /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) and then it gave me the command line with some commands available and didnt know what to do..so booted back into Windows, looked up and found the following post. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520189 Which contained a link to another post that said some additional packages are required. Then i found this link. http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04 which conatins a dell remastered version of Ubuntu 7.04 with these additional packages. This sounds like a better option so downloading lets see what happens. So downloading this, lets see how it goes. Also i had tried running 6.06 LTS as Live CD earlier and that failed to start x server. Have the log file of that saved, the end of which says (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found (EE) No devices detected. -- Puneet ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I chose Knoppix because it does autoconfig at bootup. There was some tutorial about installing from the iso and then having to install isolinux (if I remember correctly) boot-loader manually. Strange enough, I remember this tutorial asked me to create a FAT16 or FAT32 partition and extract all knoppix files on this. This was so because, trusting my memory again, this bootloader expected the kernel on a FAT16/32 filesystem. I don't remember much after that and most of it is mixed up, but ultimately things didn't work. Though I've just had an idea now and write back soon if it works :) Sharad Birmiwal I had a friend do this for me.
