Not sure where you're up to but to get back in from where you are type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

type ls (that's lowercase LS) to list files and see if that NVIDIA folder is there.

Try them separate. One after the other: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) PRESS ENTER THEN sudo apt-get install build-essential PRESS ENTER THEN sudo apt-get install pkg-config PRESS ENTER THEN sudo apt-get install xorg-dev PRESS ENTER

er stuff you need? Couldn't tell you tbh lol

Doesn't look like you put a space before and after the \

need a space after sudo sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop sudo is a command (super user do)

It will let you enter the password, for security it doesn't give you any stars or anything. Just type it in and hit enter. Remember it's case sensitive.

yes or just ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run To make it easier you could rename the file to something shorter e.g. NVIDIA.run Then all you'd have to enter would be ~/NVIDIA.run

It's basically a shortcut, you could type /home/Dan/ if you wanted.

Assuming you saved the file to your /home then just use ~/

Very latest with Sky.

Print them out :) One line at a time and press enter.

GRUB is the bootloader (GRand Unified Bootloader) Don't worry about reinstalling. When I first started out, the ubuntu CD was permanently in my drive lol

Nothing to redeem, it's all part of the fun!

Shouldn't have failed, only thing I can think is the package didn't support 8800gts, but then I wouldn't have expected it to be listed in the restricted drivers manager. To get back into a GUI you'd have to reboot, press ESCAPE when prompted by GRUB. Choose the second option - safe or whatever...

I'm not sure if the ubuntu nvidia drivers package supports the 8800gts or not, hopefully it does as that's the easiest way to install it. Go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager Is the nvidia driver listed? Is so, choose to install it.

Sounds like your window list is missing. Right click on where you want it and choose "add to panel" then choose "window list"

Ok, yes install all of the updates.

Are you sure you want to try Linux? lol Did you go through an installation and setup wizard?

First things first - are you running it as a live session or have you actually installed it properly?

No mate, they're free. Just take FOREVER to come and they only offer CD's for certain releases. https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

Nero really is shite, hopefully 8x will be slow enough but 4x and under is normally recommended for burning ISO's. My offer still stands of posting you a 7.04 CD - no costs involved.

Your problems aren't ubuntu related. Look, pm me your address and I'll send you 7.04 on CD, that way we can rule out dodgy ISO's, bad burns and dodgy media.

If you want I can send you 7.04 on an official ubuntu CD but I can't give you a burn of 7.10 tribe 5 because I've got no spare CD's.

Did your burning app (was it nero?) check the checksum? If that was ok then the burn or media must have been dodgy in which case reburn to a different disc. If the checksum didn't checkout then you need to download the ISO again.

If it's finding errors on the integrity check it means either the ISO was bad or the burn was bad.- Not ubuntu's fault!

Apart from the botched upgrade and not replying to my complaints I've not had a problem. Unfortunately we don't live in a cable area :(

I've sent them a rather sarcastic email and asked them to let me know what the problem was.

Download Speed: 6797 kbps (849.6 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 377 kbps (47.1 KB/sec ) Not exactly 8Mb but it will do me fine, a lot better than 2Mb. Well chuffed!!

As some may remember, I chose to upgrade my 2Mb Pipex to their "upto" 8Mb Pipex last year, after many delays it finally took place in January, however despite my modem syncing at 8Mb, I could still only download at 2Mb. After many phone calls and letters that never got replied to, I gave up and...
