Dear all, I have a VAIO VPCF115FM with a 1G Nvidia Gforce GT 330 with CUDA.
Furthermore, I'm going to post in this thread but I will add some questions and concerns. I am new to GNU/Linux but I have read about this OS for sometime. I have always been amazed by the arguments of security and efficiency in hardware resources. Which I have been seen it. They are true. Nevertheless, I have always think that this OS is for computer wizards or people who have lot of time to spend going around commands. I am not neither of both, I am an epidemiologist and a father. Furthermore, I need something easy to understand, reliable, efficient and secure. Since W-Vista came to the market and for other important personal reasons have been more interested in this OS Nevertheless, now that I have had to deal with some problems and I will like to have some help and to decide if GNU/Linux is for me. The distro that I have is Ubuntu 10.10. Very nice Gnome, I like many of the features. Nice work. BUT!!!! As other post in this thread I can not use the power of my gpu and as others I try to install the Nvidia web site driver and I get the black screen. Following an on-line help I destroy all the partitions deleting Windows 7 Home Premium (still a Resources Guzzler) all components that Sony installed with it. I did not made a recovery disk. “My bad” or probably was good. Iĺl know with your help. Then, I re-install Ubuntu try to do some complicated things posted here but did not worked for me and I really do not have time for more. I have confronted other problems such as computer freeze, I can not use the Blu-Ray (I read about the reasons but still sucks). Other concern that I have is if Sony release a firmware or software to fix some bug in the computer configuration such as an actual overheating problem how do I install this on Ubuntu? It is necessary? Windows 7 could be many things but my computer ran smoothly. I belief in the open source community, I use open source software's but what I do with an OS that is not working right out of the box for me. Do I install other distro? Or earlier releases? What I do? I would not want to go back but I need help in understand what is happening or let me know if is better to buy a recovery disk for W7.
