Ubuntu8.04alpha5 Installation notes

I spent two nights yesterday. I finally figured it out, but now I still need to enter the desktop in safe mode. Otherwise, the screen will be white when I enter the user name. however, if you click the shutdown button and restart the shutdown button Based on the memory, you can restart or shut down the table. The Ubuntu8.04 version has many problems and the system is extremely unstable, I often open the window and wait for half a day without responding. Then I clicked the mouse to show the hourglass, or the hourglass disappears for a while, but the program didn't start. I have summarized some experiences: 1. the built-in graphics card driver is newer than 8.2 On The ATI official website,

I spent two nights yesterday. I finally figured it out, but now I still need to enter the desktop in safe mode. Otherwise, the screen will be white when I enter the user name. however, if you click the shutdown button and restart the shutdown button Based on the memory, you can restart or shut down the host. This Ubuntu 8.04 version has many problems and the system is extremely unstable, I often open the window and wait for half a day without responding. Then I clicked the mouse to show the hourglass, or the hourglass disappears for a while, but the program didn't start.

I have summarized some experiences:

1. the display card driver of the system is newer than the 8.2 driver on the ATI official website. The official website version is 8.2 (8.455.2). However, I can see that the driver of the system is 8.2 + 2.6, after testing, it's okay not to install the driver on the official website. At least the driver can be started. If you change the driver to a black screen or enter the ID and password, you can see the desktop for 30 seconds, then the screen was highlighted with silver, but the shutdown button Based on the memory can still be properly shut down. After the screen was shut down, I pressed CTRL + ALT + F2 and saw the word on the black and white screen.

When installing Ubuntu 7.10, I always said that there were errors during compilation of several packages. Then I checked my source, there are several old 7.10 sources that have not been changed, so I plan to reinstall them once. Check the source is correct and try again. If the DEB package is compiled by installing the graphics card in Ubuntu 7.10, remember to change the following parameter to Ubuntu/hard? Or write it as Ubuntu/8.04.

Because my laptop is DELL1501, that is, ATI X1150 graphics card + BCM4311 (43XX) wireless network card + bcm3161 network card, I don't know the N card situation. The Brother tested and added it.

2. nic, which can be identified as a B43 wireless Nic. I saw it by pressing ALT + F1 at startup, But I installed 7.10 to install NDSIWAPPER 1.52 and cannot connect to the wireless network, I used "NDSIWAPPER" in what software? I found that there are three packages in the official source. One is a WINDOWS Driver package and the other is a LINUX driver package, another one is what we didn't pay attention. I installed my previously downloaded NDSIWAPPER 1.52 on a conservative idea, but I don't know what's going on, that is, I can't see the card configuration, let's go back and install the software.

To sum up, I would like to give you some suggestions:

1. do not install other drivers for the card temporarily. The drive provided by the CD is newer than that provided on the official website. For the time being, do not enable the 3D desktop first. Otherwise, do the NIC first, look at the font to make a fortune! ~~~

2. Ubuntu 8.04 alpha5 is still extremely unstable. I plan to go back to a few days after I touch the situation. 10. Wait until the official version is released ~~

3. This is also the most important !!!! Note that before you are sure that your driver is properly installed! Do not open the system monitor !!! My God, my liquid crystal started to shine at the explosive speed of Fogang !!!! Until it reaches the pole, it turns black !!! I threw the power button from the cup in my hand !!!!~~~
