Regarding "garbage display" on your laptop it is probably the known bug with some series of intel cards. Look at here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/68012 The working solution is to edit file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add there in boot choice the string vga=773 run on terminal: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
For example if you have: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=b8468ba5-c1a3-44e2-a970-a75fa03a2b1f ro quiet splash add at the end vga=773 like this: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=b8468ba5-c1a3-44e2-a970-a75fa03a2b1f ro quiet splash vga=773 If it will not work, the second possible solution is to go in BIOS and change Onboard Video Buffer from 1 MB to 8 MB. BIOS --> Intergrated Devices --> LegacySelect Options --> Onboard Video Buffer I hope it will help you. newbie wrote: > hi, > > 1.. i m having problems with garbage display during start up that > doesnt enable me to see login screen.. i hv to boot several times jz > to get to the login screen.. i'm using acer travelmate 6291 notebook > with built in integrated intel graphic chipset.. > > 2. is there any simple way to use and get connected to internet juz by > clicking on an icon? i hv bandluxe c120 usb broadband.. recently i hv > to run "sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop" plug in the device then > "wvdialconf" then "sudo wvdial" .. i hv to run wvdialconf without sudo > coz if i do it with sudo, it will change config to the wvdial.conf > with 9000bps.. > > my /etc/wvdial.conf configuration: > > Baud = 7200000 > Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1 > > Init1 = ATZ > > Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > > Phone = *99# > > Username = > mypassword > Password = > mypassword > Ask Password = 0 > > Dial Command = ATDT > > Stupid Mode = 0 > > Idle Seconds = 3000 > > ISDN = 0 > > Auto DNS = 1 > > > 3. and also if forgot to run "sudo /etc/init.d/hal start b4 logging > out, my log in screen would become "garbage screen" again.. > > ok that's it... garbage screen and need a simple step to surf the > internet... > thanks for any help... :) > and so sorry 4 my poor english hehe > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ubuntu Linux" group.
