I've just tried on a Dell machine, as a live cd , not much good as it only starts in low res mode.. When installed it got as far as starting X, then failed with:- "failed to pin front buffer: could not allocate memory" "fatal server error Couldn't bind memory to BO front buffer. From the log the graphics controller is Intel 82865G, and the problem occurred after loading the 865G module. Of course nothing editable to get around it as I didn't have root privileges to edit the xorg.conf file. Is this a known bug or do I file a new bug report ? -- Best wishes Richard Bown # Registered Linux User 36561 OS: Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid, on AMD Dual Athlon 64 +4400: 8 GB RAM DDR2 Ham Call: G8JVM , QRA IO82SP, Interests Microwave -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
jaunty DVD
Hi I need to put linux on a machine at work, the internet link is very slow, so I'd prefer to load 90% off a DVD and just pull down one package. Also my boss is a bit paranoid about linux, so the least I use the network the better. Is there a DVD image lurking any where, pref jaunty, but intrepid would do.

Some of the gnome card games which go full screen, and when you try to return to a normal display it wont. Now try explaining to a total novice how to use CAF1, then log in, and then find the process and kill it. Kaffeine will occasionall refuse to go back to a normal display as well, its much easier to tell someone on the phone to use CAB and login again, and a lot safer. BTW who desided that .gvfs had super root status ?, you can no longer as root do a chown -R on your home directory. -- Best wishes Richard Bown # Registered Linux User 36561 OS: Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid, on AMD Dual Athlon 64 +4400: 8 GB RAM DDR2 Ham Call: G8JVM , QRA IO82SP, Interests Microwave -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
