Fabio, As it happens, i had some time yesterday to try again. Very frustrating. wubi for 10.04 met with graphics problems on the reboot after the install. tied safe mode, locked up. fiddled a bit, no joy. ok, uninstalled that, tried 9.04 again, it installed fine, but same problems with wireless. did all the fiddles i'd done months ago, ndiswrapper, windows drivers, blah blah. again, no joy. ok, uninstalled that and installed 8.10, the install failed within 10 seconds. by that time it was time to pack it in for the day.
i know that a linux install would make this laptop work for years to come, i just don't know if ubuntu is the correct flavor. any suggestions as to how i could test out another linux without destroying the windows install until i know it works? thanks.......... -jeff -- Ubuntu incapable of using some broadband wireless cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459123 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
