Is this the first time you are trying Ubuntu? If not, did any previous
versions work properly? Check if you have the proper drivers in
xorg.conf for your motherboard on board graphics card
(http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2model=377l1=3l2=14l3=149l4=0).
I have used 6.06 since its release on the same system and if i remember 
correctly there was an issue with the live CD last time too and i had used 
alternate CD. But since than dapper had worked without any problem.

As regards the current situation with freeze-up/crashes and corrupted 
graphicswell since there was no solution on the horizon and since i saw no 
hope of a fix i decided to go by my hunch and i have just finished 
clean re-installation of  gutsy using alternate CD(ubuntu7.10-alternate-amd64)

And now i am trying it out and uptil now no freeze-up and no graphics 
corruption!!!hurray,,,happy days are back again!. 
i have not installed flash or java plug-in uptill now(which i suspect could 
have done something last time). I am going to be alert as to when the trouble 
starts this time(if it starts at all). i am keeping my fingers crossed.

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.
