Re: Kubuntu try my best but

How much ram do you have?

Do you know what the graphics card is?

When you say the desktop comes up, do you mean after doing an install, or just using the LiveCD?

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

Ram: 512MB DDR sDarm pc2100 Cache ram 256K
Graphics card: PCI unknown though

The desktop comes up and looks normal, ready to go to work

But it takes no user input at all, it's like i do not have a keyboard plugged in or a mouse.

Even though I know they work elsewhere

This system has no windows/OS

Ubuntu which did not work either
and Kubuntu onhard drive only
When it ask for my user name I can type it in, along with the password after I hit NUm Lock My mouse work when I click the KDE 4.1 Icon then the go dead.

Thanks

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

after X has come up press Ctrl+Alt+F1 that will take you to a commandline. See if your keyboard still works, then log in on the commandline. If you still can type it's an issue with X so run the following command

Code:

sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xorg.log

that will create a new file in the directory youre in, see if you can post the content of that file here.

also, you say your graphics card is PCI unknown. Run

Code:

sudo lspci -vv > lspci.log

also post the content of that file here.

There probably is somekind of pastebin command, to simplify all this, anybody here now what that is?

**conholster** · Jan 06, 2009, 07:59 AM

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

ok this will make it easier

Code:

sudo apt-get install pastebinit

and instead of creating files do this

Code:

lspci -vv | pastebinit

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit

remember to write down the URL's pastebinit spits out and post them here

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

Sorry but I forgot to state everything

I never got the X

SO I hit (Cntr)(ALT)(F!) at the password request for KDE 4.1

Then I was asked to log in which I did
Then requested the password (which I did)
Then tried to follow instructions
I hope this was correct

Again I am new to this

I work in construction and am tired of a virus infected computer, slow performance well you know windows

Is this step( going to lInux) going to work for a guy that is not a computer person

I ask only because this so far has been a 5 day marathon of reading tech manuals and getting no results?

IS this really worth it?

**conholster** · Jan 06, 2009, 09:57 AM

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

5 days thats not bad

for me it was 1 week of reinstallls but that was 6 or 7 years ago. Did you get the live cd to run. As it stands now, youre having a problem with Xwindows.

pastebinit probably is in another repo. which you would have to add, I'm also new to kubuntu so I dont know how to add repos or even what file to add them to..

Yea forgot to say you dont need sudo to run the commands I posted. so...lets try something else....

from the commandline run (you will need sudo to run this though)

Code:

sudo apt-get update

updates apt-get repos (or sumtin, not important to know, but must be done)

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

this will download and install the latest updates.

This will update the install. Let's hope this fixes any problems youre having

**conholster** · Jan 06, 2009, 09:59 AM

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

...and yes it is worth it

if for nothing else then atleast as a learning experience. Good morning to you too, though it' s close to good night over here

**stewartfrye** · Jan 06, 2009, 10:29 AM

Re: Kubuntu try my best but

This machine is unoperable much less get updates from the web, it's a full install to hard drive, no windows I made that mistake in the original install of Ubuntu, then slack then freespire, then pclinux then ,,, none of them worked, and the experience has not been worth it yet even though i personally would like to kick bill gates in the ass for being a glutton with his continual putting out defective OS and then asking the public to pay to fix it.

Who invented the virus Bill Gates
why

Built in Banking account.

Thats like selling a car, and asking 50 bucks to start it because you drove it to a sonic for a coke. Instead of MacDonalds.

I would love to install the trimin his home< and then ask him for a lisence agreement to look at the work, then 2 years later tell him their was a mandatory upgrade and charge him 200 for the wonderful experience of living in a home I built. What a crook.
