about to switch to ubuntu
    #7649682 - 11/18/07 12:24 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

any advise? the pc i'm converting relies on wireless for internet. will i need new drivers for the adapter? how about my cd burner and dvd-rom?

you should check the forums about your hardware. if it works on the livecd it should work after the install. ubuntu is great though. good luck

i don't think it likes my hardware. it does the ubuntu loading page and then my screen turns white w/ a cursor. do i need to let sit for a while or has something gone wrong?

think he meant RAM. but it will take awhile cause its loading off of a cd. much longer then Hard drive boot. there is only a small chance it wont work. by checking to see if it likes your hardware i think teh guy meant your wireless card. do you have teh right version 32 or 64 bit? im no expert but maybe this helps

i don't know. not my computer. it was for my little sis. she got a new laptop and we inherited her old pc. it's finally giving me the brown wavy screen but the icons. i think it's just taking forever. she managed to funk up the pc w/ aim and other im goodies, so i figure a linux install is the best way to fix all of that.

edit, now the screen is just black.

about the torrent client, i use utorrent 1.6 through wine.

and what version of ubuntu do you have? i used to have feisty fawn and upgraded to gutsy gibbon. gutsy didn't like my laptop too much, it gave me a lot of shit. i then installed kubuntu (gutsy as well) and everything is running smooth.

you can download a live cd of kubuntu that's designed for PCs with less than 320 mb of ram. maybe that was your problem.

check out the downloads page on kubuntu.org for more details.

ok, i gave up on the install so i can check her specs. it is a 32 bit system w/ a 1.3G processor and 128 ram. i'm going to try the xubuntu 32 bit alternative disk (Gutsy Gibbon) and see what kind of success i have. i may even get some more ram for her piece of crap.

im running ubuntu right now and couldnt be happier. anything that windows does, linux i dont know why you are getting corrupted files. are you downloading from the ubuntu site? you should.

and i would have to say kubuntu is better for laptops as well.

i got them from the kubuntu's torrent tracker. i've tossed those iso's and d/l'ed strait from their site. if that doesn't work, my cd burner sucks. i'm scanning my new disk now. i hate how everything easy always makes itself hard for me.

now are you actually using an iso burner or jsut putting the files on a cd?

i found the one that they tell you to use isnt really good. do a search and find another free one.

you wont get very good performance with ktorrent and it is unstable

remember that ubuntu uses gnome and ktorrent is written for kde... you may not be able to run it at all

i have tried many torrent clients under linux and so far azureus is the best as well as being highly stable

the best site to get help for me is linuxquestions.org

however i don't use ubuntu/kubuntu so there may be a better place for help

yeah, you'll be installing things a lot by console with what's called apt package manager. Thankfully with gutsy most things can simply be installed via apt-get - even a successful install of the restricted nvidia 3d drivers! Plus if you dont want to apt-get from console you can always install Synaptic which is a gui for apt.

sudo apt-get install synaptic

well there are two ways to install... through packages and by compiling through source code

for most mainstream programs you will have packages available that work like windows installers

but many programs do not have packages so you need to compile the source code

i suggest that you decide what x environment you want before you do anything because that choice will determine what packages are available to you... the two main ones are KDE and GNOME

DO IT. If you have any problems you can PM me. Which version are you looking to install? I would recommend 6.06

Oh yeah thats very true. Do to the fact that Ubuntu is a free, open source operating system it can't include proprietary codecs for multimedia. In 6.06 I remember having to install these manually. Haven't used 7> for this purpose, is there a simple way to do this?

Can I install ubuntu from a flashdrive?

Every time I burn the install disk it acts all funny and doesn't install on my laptop.

u can use a flash drive if u have a big enough flash drive. i had the same problem. you may need to find a different cd burner, that was 90% of the problem i had. there is a scan cd for problems in the install options, use it.

edit: u may also want to look at your system spec's and the min requirements of the ubuntu version u are installing. if u have low ram u may need like xubuntu and the alternative install disk like i did.

I tried the alternative disk and it displays the screen really funny.

can I just copy all the files off the install disk onto the flash drive and boot it like that?

yes, if your flash drive is big enough.
