Hello, All,
Ubuntu installed painlessly except as noted below. I downloaded a
Ubuntu iso and made a CD. After booting from that I just clicked on
'install' and it installed it on my hard drive.
Linrad works fine with Ubuntu [and did so right from the start].
There werea few interesting facets of Ubuntu installation:
1. It will not let root sign in to the gnome login screen until you
change the default parameters to permit this.
2. It does not automatically activate the root user. This must be
done manually.
They much prefer you do things using sudo as opposed to having a root
login. The easiest way is to go into a shell (bash) and at the command
line type
sudo bash
you will enter your password and you will get the usual
#
prompt. This is much to be preferred for various reasons IMHO.
I then run
sudo xlinrad
