| Emerald | Hello, I have a problem with my Kubuntu install- Whenever I try and boot from the LiveCD it will load up until a blue screen with a cursor Then it will stop completely, and I can move my mouse- but do nothing else So I'm wondering- What would generaly be the issue here? |
| makuseru | how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file? |
| stdin | something to do with the graphics card you have probably Emerald |
| KrAmMeR | has anyone installed the desklist plugin for kopete? i ran successfully, but it doesn't show up in my plugin list |
| Emerald | Ah, I have a 7800 GT, does that chip often cause problems ? |

| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto |

| rpvonz | how come i cant log into my su? |
| Emerald | Thanks for that, but I can't boot up the Live CD, so I'm not running linux right now. It just stops when it gets to the blue screen. I have a cursor that I can move, but that's about it. |
| albert_ | hi, are there special drivers for each radeon serie? |
| rpvonz | do i use the password i assigned? |
| makuseru | aphroguy: having problems getting 1280x1024 |
| stdin | Emerald: you can try booting to the Safe Graphics mode or, if that still fails, you can download the alternate install CD, which is the same as the Desktop install CD, except it's a text based installer |
| aphroguy | Emerald, what are your hardware specs? |
| rpvonz | albert: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?highlight=%28binary%29%7C%28driver%29 |
| aphroguy | Makuseru, yes, I am. Can't get above 1024x768 |
| Emerald | Okay, I have a AMD Athlon 4000+, 1 GB of DDR RAM, NVidia 7800 GT, Creative Sound Blaster Value 2 |
| emet | kello kere |
| Emerald | ANd a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum |
| makuseru | aphroguy: i have the same problem, the way i get 1280x1024 is to reconfigure X and choose 1280x1024 when it asks for resolution |
| emet | can I have your video card |
| rpvonz | i'm trying to run gksudo, it wont let me... |
| albert_ | rpvonz: am i able to uninstall the drivers, if they fail to improve my performance or even reduce it? |
| rpvonz | what is your card... |
| Emerald | Okay, one sec |
| albert_ | it happened to me in dapper, that they dropped my perfomance heavily |
