Jun 9, 2010I've been thinking of turning my old computer into a media center for a while now (it was running Ubuntu Server 9.10). I recently bought a new 23inch screen so.. out with the server, in with the media center! (currently Xubuntu but running on LXDE as it's a lot lighter) My problem: The computer barely manages to play 720p videos on XBMC (on ..... or totem/vlc it's just impossible with breaks, lag and constant freezes).. I used the debug function of XBMC and guess what.. a 720p movie takes my cpu to a constant 100% usage!! =X
So here's my question.. what distro or 'buntu flavor would you advise me to use?? I thought about a minimal install but don't want to try it just yet..

May 1, 2010I want to make a live-USB containing among others both Ubuntu desktop i386 and Ubuntu desktop AMD64. How do I go about this? I tried using unetbootin, first adding i386 and then amd64, but that failed. My computer with an athlon II did manage to boot, and showed it had booted into the 64-bit version (ram shown was 3.9 GB, i386 goes to about 2.7 I think), my wife's computer with a pentium 4 did not manage to boot, got to a black screen. I think this is because casper has issues, being overwritten (I'd seen something to that effect somewhere), and thus only the latest version added being booted (in this case amd 64).
I'm under the impression that the startup disc creator included won't help, nor won't the multicd.sh script, so how do I circumvent the issues?
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 8.10 Desktop To 10.4 Desktop?

Is there any problem in with this, if i do the upgrade? i have to upgrade 8.10 to 9.4 to 9.10 to 10.04?

Never could get to the error logs to see if I could determine the problem.I then installed Kubuntu 10.04 and it runs fine with no problems whatsoever. My Dell Inspiron 600m runs Ubuntu fine.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: 9.10 Desktop And 2.6.32-2 Kernel?
Jan 5, 2010I've got a machine with an Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop install, and a boat-load of server things. It's to fill a combined desktop/server role. I want to upgrade the weak integrated graphics, ATI Rage XL, to an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. The #ati and #radeon (IRC) guys are saying the new open-source Radeon drivers, with all the trimmings, would be best. But if you go to the xorg-edgers "fresh X crack" page, it'll tell you you need the 2.6.32 or later kernel. But the latest Karmic kernel is 2.6.31-16 (which I have installed). So a guy says "No problem. Just download the 2.6.32 kernel for your arch, install with "dpkg -i" and never look back." But another guy says "well, that's an unsupported config and may not behave well." To my question "Could I cripple my system installing that?" "You could," was the answer.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Desktop Is Blank?
May 28, 2010I just recently installed 10.04 and the desktop look is nice, but all my applications, folders, games, firefox, etc... is missing. The only way for me to access anything basic is to browse through the fony folder I created just to try and find everything. getting at least my Firefox browser and some other basic applications. Oh and I noticed I don't have root access anymore either. I am the only one using the computer, but can't do a thing. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer Aspire One Netbook. So I have no HDD.

Ubuntu Installation :: Removing The GUI From Desktop
Sep 19, 2010I originally installed Xubuntu Desktop so that I could manage my fileserver with the GUI (through FreeNX). Now that I have gotten more confortable with Linux, I manage the fileserver entirely from the terminal and ssh.
I feel like I could trim down the fileserver and free up some memory and CPU cycles. Additionally, I don't really like having receive the firefox updates, etc.
Is there a way I can eliminate the GUI from my fileserver?
Ubuntu Installation :: Better Kerrnell For Desktop PC
Oct 10, 2010The thing is I want to change to a kernel that takes better advantage of my particular hardware. Not sure I want to learn to compile yet (fairly new linux user), but want to install an already existing one that fits better. Nevertheless, if compiling is my only option, no big problem either.Now, I currently have the standard 32bits i386 kernel. I don't want to migrate to a full 64bits system, just optimize ye old kernel for my hardware.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Can't Boot Into 10.10 Desktop
Oct 19, 2010I currently can't boot into 10.10 desktop as I normally do.The system won't reach the graphical login screen. It seems there's issues with X and/or my monitor perhaps, as I'm able to boot via recovery into low graphics mode only.After tinkering around for a bit in that mode the system now makes it past the loading screen but the monitor just goes black and won't respond instead.My system was running fine after the upgrade to 10.10 recently. The last time I was logged in using the desktop normally I used ubuntu tweak to remove old kernels. I may have changed some software sources too. I'm unsure how much that helps.
Is there anything I can do to get up and running without reinstalling?For what it's worth grub offers me a later kernel(ending in .25) whereas grub on my 10.10 netbook offers .22 only and was updated today. I though I had the updates configured the same way on each system but could be wrong.
