Did you try the
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Usually, that has to work ! If not, i'll take a look on the ubuntu forums to see if that's happening to other people.

I've tried the ubuntu forums, ad infinitum. It does not give me permission to change the resolution. The mouse and keyboard I can change. The monitor is "permission denied". Or whatever buntu speak equivalent is.

I'm now trying out v9.04 beta via cd, it's seems pretty swell. The release date for the final version is 23/4.

been trying to put Ubuntu on my 1yo laptop, either as a dual boot or the Wubi try.. nothing can do..afaik I can't even put it instead of Vista!
I put the disk in, select install...and it crashes. (well hang). :( .. Wubi I try install, asks me to reboot then absolutely nothing has changed.
not even going to try on my desktop (which is much older and hold a lot more info) :finger:

I've had similar problems with Ubuntu, although I've only tried it on virtual machines.

Perhaps you should try Mandriva. The last version is really great, installs easily, has a great packages base.

If you are concerned about old hardware you should check out Puppy or DSL. DSL will run on a 496 ROFL.

my laptop is not old.

and Mandriva does it easily install a dual boot with Vista though?

yes, vi is great to tweak some files (xorg.conf for example). It's clearly a good way to show off, way better than using gedit or kwrite as root. The terminal makes you look so geeky !

When I use vi I try to practice moving the cursor with the jkl; keys instead of the arrows.

I have a question. It's about Linux Mint, close to Ubuntu lol.

I am trying to mount a share from my windows computer to Linux mint. I need a mount so I can feed it into Music Player Daemon (MPD) as a place to look for my music. MY TB harddrive is on the windows machine. I've read about Samba, NFS, etc. I can browse the files in the gui and copy them but it's sort of slow.

Any pros here? lol.

I used Samba when I did that, but it's definitely a pain to get it to work. Didn't have any problems with it being slow, though.

That was about three years ago, so I'm not sure I could give you any specifics on how to do it.
