hi guys I'm new too Kubuntu i been a windows user for forever.. anyway
i recently got a new video card (Visiontek X1300) to replace the outdated 3dfx Voodoo2 i had installed. i had Kubuntu 7.10 installed and running great for about 2 months with the old card.. i installed the new card and downloaded the proprietary drivers from the ATI site and installed them.. then i got a notification that restricted drivers were needed to use the new X1300 card..
i installed them and reboot then something happend and i don't know what it is.. kubuntu doesn't boot to the GUI user login screen.. i wrote down the message it gives me, hopefully some one can tell me what it means.. cause i have over the past 2 days reinstalled 7.10 about 7 times because it does this every time i try to get this card to work..
heres the message it gives me
Kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-uuid/d00f3a61-ca2b-4571-a2d0-d4f-7eba1f77) = s da5(8,5)
Kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/d00f3a61-ca2b-4571-a2d0-d4f07eba1f77
Kinit: no resume image,doing normal boot...
ubuntu 7.10 bedroom3 tty1
bedroom3 login:
then it just gives me the comand prompt with my comp name
am i installing something wrong?
*edit*
after reading on this forum a bit i saw something about "startX" so i tryed it and this is what it gave me
