Re: [ubuntu-uk] Scambled screen Beginning Ubuntu

Can only say +1 to the live cd. It's invaluable for me at the moment  
till I can fix my windows pc.

Unfortunately I don't think I can help, although there is something in  
that book about scrambled screens. Try looking in the index for it.

 Hi Everyone,
 I too can vouch for Keir Thomas  Jaime Sicam's book - although it
 hasn't got me out of my scrambled scren 'hole' yet, it was a real
 support while I was styarting out on the Linux road. Add to that the
 Live user mode on the DVD which is still in use until I can summon up
 the courage to reinstall the whole shooting match.

 The scrambled screen issue is still fouling up my
 all-singing-al;l-dancing use of Ubuntu, but Live user from the DVD  
 is a
 real get-you-home utility; I can access my hard drive, print, access
 removable media and go online - all from the DVD. I've just not made  
 use
 of e-mail access since everything has to be reconfigured every time  
 the
 system is started. As a promotional tool - to show non-believers how
 Ubuntu looks and works - Live user is a gem.

 Any more hints on my scrambled screen issue would be much appreciated!

 Greg

Hi Greg,

Can you tell the list what Ubuntu version you have on the CD and what
hardware you are running it on (particularly the graphics card/chipset)?
