Re: [ubuntu-in] Gutsy problems on Athlon
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of nan budh Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 6:54 PM To: Ubuntu India Local Community Subject: [ubuntu-in] Gutsy problems on Athlon Guys please help me. suggest me what to do. i installed gutsy on athon 64 2800+. its freezing/ crashing/ becoming totally unresponsive at least half of the times i start it up. Often it happen when there is are two programs running like firefox and pidgeon or synaptic. Second problem is that the desktop menu bar gets discoloured in rectangular patches. colours ranges from gray to bright blue. at times the patch 'bleeds' down to the open firefox window. I am not sure but i have a feeling that if i do clean install from alternative Cd maybe it will get resolved. any thoughts welcome. nanbudh ps: during installtion i forgot to make one of my disk partitions as the home directory. please tell me how can i do it now. Please tell us more about the model of your machine. What motherboard?? Or brand name etc. What graphics drivers are you using? I hope I've understood your partition question correctly. I think you already have a partition and you want to change your home directory to point to that partition. If that's the case then check out this post. http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ Manu -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] How to be a part of Ubuntu Community?
Are there any more such sessions planned in the near future?

Re: [ubuntu-in] How to be a part of Ubuntu Community?
Thank you very much for the information Roshan. I admit it was my mistake I should've looked at the url first. I'm new here but I'm trying to learn the etiquettes of the mailing list. So excuse me if I make some mistakes. -- Manu -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] Has anyone reviewed Gusty
I downloaded and installed gutsy i386 image. I have an HP tx1000 tablet which has AMD turion x2. This particular laptop is known to be difficult to configure and there is a huge thread dedicated to it on Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442483 I had to do a lot of tweaks just to get the live cd to boot - a handful of kernel parameters but this was the case with feisty as well so I was aware of what to do. Still I would have expected some of the issues to be resolved in gutsy. My first impression has been not so good. I am unable to shutdown the system cleanly, the system seems pretty slow and non reactive to inputs, the touchscreen doesnt work (it was recognized by default in feisty but was unusable as it was impossible to calibrate) But I have been able to get the wireless working with ndiswrapper. So at least one thing works as expected. Also I get write access to my ntfs windows partitions out of the box which is cool. A lot of these issues might get solved as I fine tune my system install nvidia drivers and configure x, get the right balance of kernel parameters etc. So I am still hopeful. Seems like its going to be a fun weekend ;) I will post of my results and steps as I get more things working.

It will be great if you guys could share the thought for us mere mortals who are still trying to download the iso I downloaded the amd desktop iso torrent. it got done in less than one and a half on BSNL dataone business3000(512 kbps). I ran the live cd jus a few moments ago. looks good. faster than 6.06 live cd and ofcourse it would be faster on install. could not configure ethernet connection for my home internet(the properties button was disabled.should it be?) The colours are bright. if i get time i shall do an install tomorrow or day after. i shall write my experiences. BTW has anyone else downloaded the iso? please share. regards nanbudh Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.

Re: [ubuntu-in] ubuntu India website redesign
Hi community I've just joined. I'd like to help out. I can contribute in anything related from testing, coding, configuring or managing servers, writing documentation(in Hindi or English) etc. I'm a bit pressed for time for a few days. Let's say a week, but after that I'll have a lot of hours to spare. I can still do some QA for this drupal install while my code is compiling ;) Let me know.
