Hardware? The more you can answer on that, the easier it can be to pinpoint what may needed to be done. -- //Aho

Pretty soon your computer will only start up on Tuesdays. Seriously, computers and operating systems don't break. Those are names we give to collections of parts. The individual parts may break or may not communicate well with each other. Drivers especially need to communicate well with hardware. Would you like to talk about that then? What hardware do you have? I know of one current issue with intel graphics which causes lock ups. You can move the mouse but the keyboard does not respond. Except to the Magic SYSRQ sequences. Does your mouse move but your keyboard does not respond? You see that's a good detail to include in your description. Otherwise you might as well say, "He's dead, Jim". And we would say "He shouldn't have worn the red shirt".

Well, that sucks. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he garotted another passing Liberal.

I borrowed an old Dell (hate name brand computers because of the squirrely stuff they put in the bios) and got UbuntuStudio to load. Hated it. I am now attempting to load Xubuntu will post about it later. I do have one question - is there any chance that Ubuntu is secretly underwritten by Micosoft in an attempt to discredit Linux as a valid OS? ;-) The reason for the above has to do with their refusal to load an "ndiswrapper" and/or good internet tools. I have a little Linksys WMP54-G and UbuntuStudio did not recognize it. This is an old card, there is no reason it should not have been recognized. Add to that the fact that the Gnome tool set is unspeakably lousy makes for a very undesirable OS. Deb |
