After the "Welcome to Fedora 12!" screen, I then click on either: Install or upgrade an existing system [or] Install system with basic video driver [both display the same following screen and then the machine halt on] Loading vmlinuz . Loading initrd.img . .ready. Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) ... ok The number and cap lock have no responses. When I changed to another display card, it has no problem at all.
Well I've been trying to get drivers installed for this card for a few days now and I can't get anything to work. The proprietary drivers for this card don't support the xorg version installed in F14. I've tried mesa and ati drivers but I can't get them to actually work, they both just cause x to crash during startup. I've looked through the threads for ati drivers but they all seem to talk about using the latest catalyst drivers and thus non of them have helped me much.
I am trying to use an ATI Radeon x300 graphics card with my current system setup with fedora 12 but i am having an openGL issue. I am trying to create a 3D model using comsol and i get an error like:
Failed to initialize 3D graphics. OpenGL not fully supported.
This is a hardware/software issue with the graphics card... not the program COMSOL. How could i enable openGL support to correct this issue?
This is harder than it should be. 233 MHz Pentium Pro, 128 MB RAM, Matrox Mystique graphics. The important thing is 35W idle and no fans - a perfect firewall.
Things discovered so far: - I need to burn DVDs for this machine with -speed=2 (sigh!) - The syslinux boot loader cannot display its graphical menu - must use the syslinux boot: prompt (double sigh) - The Live CD does eventually boot into X
The install DVD boots but quickly displays a "You do not have enough RAM to install Fedora on this machine" dialog (this is in text mode). Two questions: Q1. Is it possible to get anaconda on the DVD to use a swap partition (or otherwise fit into 128MB)? Q2: Failing that, can I install from the Live CD without starting X?
I had a problem with OpenGL on my computer (I run Ubuntu), and so I created a thread here: [url] but it turned out that the problem was with my graphics card, so I made a new thread at the Ubuntu forum at [ubuntu] Problem with OpenGL in Ubuntu - Ubuntu
Is there a distro where an ATI 9250 video card will work out of the box? I am currently using Debian Lenny and the instructions for getting it to work are too much. I just want to get dual monitors working.
The display card of my notebook is ATI rd 6370m ,the OS is fedora14. After I installed the driver download from ATI web site, it says that my computer can only run 2D can't run 3D. I want to know if some one used the same card with me in fedora14 has run 3D sussesfully? After the installlation I run "#aticonfig" it says "can't find the adaper".
I have an EeePC 4g netbook which only has a 4Gb hard drive and I thought I would like to install Fedora 13 on an 8 Gb SDHC card and use it to boot the netbook.
As neither the netbook nor I have an optical drive, I made a bootable USB memory stick using Unetbootin which boots the netbook and could be used like a live CD to install Fedora.
On booting with the live USB stick, with the blank SD card in place, and clicking on the install icon, the installation starts but then there are 2 problems; the first is that the installer appears to want to install to both the SD card and also the USB stick. There is a tick in the box beside the USB stick which I can't remove.
I decided to ignore that and put a tick in the box beside the SD card but when it got to the point where it creates partitions it said "Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning. Please use another partitioning method"
Surely 8 GB is more than enough space for partitioning, so where am I going wrong and why does it want to install on the USB stick as well?
Got an old computer running XP like a snail Would like to use as a childs first computer Specs Pentium 3 799Mhz 128 RAM 20GB HDD Looking for an appropriate version of Linux Distro if any to set up and run.
Have a fresh install of FC14, 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE. After trying the Catalyst install instruction the response is this - Requires: kernel-uname-r = 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686.PAEInstalled: kernel-PAE-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686 (@updates)I do 'yum update kernel' and I appear to have the latest release.
I have installed Fedora 8 on my laptop. My laptop has a " Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI " wireless Card. I want to get the wireless working. I did an 'lsmod' and I found that the modules for this card is not installed. I tried to start Network Manager, but network manager cannot connect to wireless but it cant. How and where can I get the drivers for this and how do I install those modules. My laptop is a Dell vostro 1400.
I was using F11 when my Nvidia 6500 broke. I got a 9400GT but now F11 won't work.When I try the default option: after the media test, the mouse cursor appears and then nothing happens.If I try the second option "using generic video drive" anaconda crashes after I choose my keyboard layout.The Live CD and preupgrade didn't work either.F10 installs perfectly.
During the installation process, configure the network installation process requires, as a result of my wireless network card can not be drived, It is not possible to continue with the installation,please help me.
My foray into Linux is one of hopeful necessity:I have a friend who doesn't have any comp & whose son is leaving for the military. I have an old pc I was planning to recycle but instead would like to see if it can be put back into use.She has wireless service in her apt building which she would like to access. I don't know if the versions of Linux that are light duty enough to operate on such a low end machine still suwifi networking... (I will have to download it at home to a mac, burn it to cd & install from there)? Is it possible to install a wireless card into an old P3/128mb ram (IBM 6564/GL300) and get it working?
I'm getting some weird corruption on the screen in openSUSE 11.4 or Ubuntu Natty and wondered if anyone has seen this or could offer some suggestions. My config: Athlon XP 2400+, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (R350NH), 1GB RAM, fresh install of either OS. It manifests as evenly spaced columns of discolored pixels, which change as different windows are drawn on the screen. At first I tried compiling the latest radeon drivers from git, but that didn't help. I've also tried nomodeset, x11failsafe, turning off desktop effects, turning off dri/dri2, and nothing seems to help. The corruption appears even if I switch to the vesa driver or fbdev. Any suggestions? This has got me stumped.

I am running Slackware-current 13.37.0 (kernal 2.6.37.6) on my desktop with ATI Radeon X300 video card. I have downloaded the latest driver and installed it successfully with the commands:
But the `aticonfig --initial' fails with the message:
I have already read the "Slackware: ATI SlackBuild (ENG)" from cchtml.com and some of the posts on this forum but couldn't fix the problem.
How do I get my X300 ATI PCIE card to show in Hardware Drivers so the driver will work? I installed the drivers from the Ubuntu software Center. I am using Ubuntu 10.4.
In Fedora 10, I cannot get to the installer because it shows these messed up strips graphics (its not due to my graphic card, my graphic card is supported 7600gt) in non-quiet install it shows logical errors and i/o errors.
i am trying to install ubuntu server 10.4 on a fujitsu siemens x300 s2, but when it comes to dectcting the hard disk it cant find them. it says i have to load the scsi drivers. i have gone threw the list that appears on the list but none work.
I am trying to do a clean install of UBUNTU 9,10 onto a machine that had been running 7.04 successfully for some time. It is a Pentium 2.8GHz processor with geForce 6200 video card.
I boot the system using the install disk, and get past the point where it asks for the language selection. At that time the display shows vertical bars that flash alternating colours. The screen does not recover from this state. I have also attempted to install 9.04 on the same machine, but the same thing happens.
I installed 9.10 on another machine with similar hardware configuration using same disk without problems (without a doubt the best operating system I've ever used!)
I am completely new to the world of all things linux. I have recently needed to build a linux server to host a Google box, so we decided to use old kit firstly a Dell 1400sc and a Dell poweredge 650. In both cases after the install we got a massage saying that it could not display output the lcd monitor.
I have searched on the web to resolve the issue, and some of the resolutions said to amend the something in the grub. However I have not been able to enter the Grub menu even after trying esc or shift.
I tried in November last year to install 11.2 on a machine with NSRock K8NF6P motherboard which has an onboard GEForce class 6 graphics card. Installation went ok until the very end. Then driver problem surfaced, display went blank and was then damaged and required repair.
The NVIDEA driver install appears to require the system is up and running before it is installed. As I did not get a running system how do I install the drivers before any damage is caused?
I'm almost a complete noob when it comes to Linux. All my computers 'til now have been Windows boxes (3.1 on up to XP). I do know a little, I've tried to switch to Linux since RedHat 7.2 but never got this far (I can connect to the Internet!). I currently have two issues I really need to get past this weekend, or I'll be forced to spend $110 on Windows 7 - which I REALLY don't want to do. I can't get the display right, and I can't get the wireless working.
My computer is an AMD Zacate on an ASUS motherboard with integrated graphics (ATI Raedon 6380, if I remember correctly from this afternoon). I'm using an Insignia 1080p TV as my sole monitor. The wireless card is a Zonet ZEW1642S which uses the Ralink RT3062 chipset. Today I finally got the monitor to display in 1920x1080. I updated the ATI drivers (HDMI sound started working after I installed them) and downloaded Catalyst. I've been trying to get through the xrandr instructions to get the screen to fit, as I can't see the top and bottom bars. Also, I think it's displaying in 1080i instead of 1080p. Text quality is atrocious compared to the 1024x768 resolution it had earlier. The screen refresh is terrible.
I opened terminal, inputted "xrandr" and got:
Code: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1920 DFP1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm 1920x1080 30.0*+ 30.0 1776x1000 30.0 1680x1050 30.0 30.0
Lucid installed without any errors that I can see of off the main i386 installation CD, but after booting I get no display. Even in recovery mode. The monitor doesn't go into sleep mode and I can tell that the OS is actually running the background because I can do a Ctrl-Alt-Del and do a proper shutdown. I'm running an nvidia GT 9500. Everything is working fine on Karmic.
I have this problem where the 10.10 LiveCD 64-bit works (as in I get full resolution display and no video issues at all). But after install, the OS boots successfully but there's no display. I know it's successful because I was able to login in the dark (sound works).
Here's what I have: HP m9340f (NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS with HDMI) 46" Sharp connected via HDMI Windows 7, works fine.
Here's what I tried with no luck: 1. CTRL-ALT-F1 still doesn't show anything on screen, no terminal 2. Connected via VGA 3. Connected another 17" monitor via VGA, rebooted 4. Added vga=789 in grub before booting
The weird thing is that I had 10.04 before and it was working for a while then it suddenly stopped working. I figured I'd wait until 10.10 but I now have the same issue. I haven't tried 32-bit... I can give that a shot in a bit.
I did a LiveCD to USB install, following the directions I found at [url] When I went to reboot to the USB stick, all I get is a black Screen (monitor is on and lit, just nothing on the display) No cursor or command prompt. I've tried holding shift to bring up the GRUB menu, changing splash quiet to nomodeset, or just adding nomodeset after the splash quiet thing. I've even tried xforcevesa instead of nomodeset still black screen. Looking at the logs nothing is current as of the last time I tried to boot the computer, it's strictly what was written when I installed it to the stick. Other things I've checked/tried, Pressing CTRL+Alt+F1 at GRUB to get TTY, all I get is that blank screen. I've Checked etc/default/grub to ensure the timeout was higher then 0. The Install CD seems to be OK but I have (as it did another install successfully) but I haven't done any throughal checking of it (there was no check this disk on the first screen of the LiveCD) The USB sticks also seem to be ok (in windows though). Using the disk utility on the live CD I did check the file system on the USB stick, the "/" partition came up clean. Anybody have any other thoughts on this install, any thing else I can check?
I am trying to install DDD on ubuntu 10.4. Downloaded the tar.gz file and followed the instructions given on DDD web page.But I am not able to install DDD. While trying to do './configure && make' I get the following error. It says c++ is not working and is not able to create executables. I have g++ installed and I successfully create excutables from .cpp files. I've also checked the CXX variable and it is set to /usr/bin where g++ is expected to be placed.

just like most Linux distributions, will happily co-exist on a hard disk with just about any version of Windows. This is a concept known as dual-booting. Essentially, when you power up your PC you will be presented with a menu which provides the option to boot either Ubuntu Linux or Windows. Obviously you can only run one operating system at a time, but it is worth noting that the files on the Windows partition of your disk drive will be available to you from Ubuntu Linux regardless of whether your windows partition was formatted using NTFS. To day I have installed Latest Windows 7 and Latest Ubuntu 10.10 on my office system (Dual booting). This two operating system which I installed in HP dx 7200 micro towers.
