I will ask you to again type the commands inside the following quotes (but don't type the quotes): Everything outside the "" are comments to help you understand what you're doing. - take care with case Before gathering the information, we'll just check if we can get X going properly "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" If the above doesn't work: STEP 1: Insert your usb "memory stick" "sudo fdisk -l" This will produce a lot of output, what you are looking for (probably at the end) is an entry like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 126 1012063+ 6 FAT16 USB sticks are usually formated with vfat. Record the information under the Device section i.e. /dev/sdc1 in my case STEP 2: "cd /mnt" *C*hange *D*irectory to /mnt (just a place to mount the disk) "sudo mkdir usbdrv" making a directory to mount your disk "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdrv" Linux will mount your drive STEP 3: "cd usbdrv" lets make sure it all worked 'ls" List the files again, the files on your usb stick should be listed. The following instructions will depend on this being ok STEP 4: Gathering the information "sudo dmesg > /mnt/usbdrv/dmesg.log" "sudo lspci -vvnn > /mnt/usbdrv/lspci-vvnn.log" "sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > /mnt/usbdrv/Xorg.log" STEP 5: "umount /mnt/usbdrv" STEP 6: Attach the saved files on your usb drive to this report -- Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy doesn' t run on MiTAC laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
