Hi there, I have installed EMC2 from the live disk on to 2 computers. Computer No1 has: Athlon 1GHz processor, 384 Mb memory and 4GB hard drive and works great except there's no network connection (nothing to do with Linux) it just doesn't recognise the pci network card, which would make updates easier. I did try downloading Deb updates with a usb pendrive, but I got into such a mess that I reinstalled Ubuntu-EMC2. With this computer I normally use a Usb WLAN adapter to get online but I believe this has been disabled in EMC2.
Computer No2 has: Athlon 800 MHz processor, 512 MB memory and 20 GB hard drive shared with windows XP on seperate partitions. The graphics card is an ATI Rage 128. The network card works ok so I can easily update. I have used this computer with Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 without any problems to speak of. When I run Ubuntu 8.04+EMC2 everything works ok except when I start EMC2 it freezes right away before it even finishes drawing the Axis page. The keyboard stops working, only the mouse works but the cursor turns solid black and has no effect on anything on the desktop and I can only get out of it by turning off or resetting the computer I have triple checked the cd, with md5sum after downloading, I have verified the disk after burning and I have checked the disk when running the cd at bootup. I have run Stepconfig on both computers and the stepper motors run fine on both. I thought at first the problem may have been because I updated Ubuntu 8.04 EMC but I have tried it from the live disk and the result is still the same. Can anyone suggest a way getting round this problem? I am not too clever with Linux, I am more at home with Windows XP. If instructions are clear and straightforward I manage ok. I have yet to find a tutorial to get a good grounding in Linux. How did you guys learn linux, there must have been a time when it seemed like a foreign language to you? Hoping some wise or kind person can help me . Sincerely John Dunn PS I have since deleted the Ubuntu partition and reinstalled Ubuntu-EMC2 and updated 214 updates to see if the problem is repeatable, but it still freezes at startup as before.J.D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
