I went back to re-install, so I could give you the details - the LSPCI is included below: 1) I insert the CD and start-up - I am using the Dell LCD named in the bug; 2) I get the usual Ubuntu logo and graphics and the cursor turns to an X - white outline against a black backdrop 3) It's thinking for a while .... 4) Then I get the dialog "System runs in a graphical failsafe mode" - with buttons to Continue or Configure (I spent a lot of time in Configure yesterday, but to no avail.) 5) Clicking on Continue, I get the Screen/Graphics Card dialog with model = Plug 'n Plan and Resolution = 800x600 6) Without changing any options, I click on OK ...... 7) It's thinking for another while ... 8) The orange / brown / sandy colored screen appears 9) The desktop is drawn correctly - in Big FONT (so big, that not all the menubar items fit) - with the Examples folder and the Install icon on the desktop 10) I click on the Install icon (actually, I double-click on the Install icon and the first page of the Install process appears - it is TOO BIG to fit on the screen, so I move it around with ALT-CLICK to find the Forward button. *** NOTE: Clicking on the FORWARD button, which is correctly enabled, in the install process does not always "work" - sometimes, I have to first click on the dialog box title bar, seemingly to activate the window, before I can click on the FORWARD button and have it actually work; 11) Now I'm looking at the map / timezone - click on FORWARD again (here I need to first click on the title bar, then click on the FORWARD button to make it work) 12) Click on FORWARD to select English keyboard layout; 13) In the "Prepare Disk Space" dialog, I click on Guided - use entire disk, adn then click FORWARD; 14) That starts up the PARTITIONER 15) A dialog appears, asking for my name, password, computer name etc.... 16) The next dialog says "READY TO INSTALL" 17) I click on INSTALL and away we go, for the "Partitions formatting" Takes a while for the install Once the disk is formatted and all the softwer is installed, I get to the window with the title "Installation Complete", and click on the RESTART NOW button I press the physical button on the face of the computer / CD tray to eject the install CD I get a long list of SQUASHFS errors that trail past on the console so fast I cannot read them. The Ubuntu logo on the screen and a small square of orange at the far right end of the progress indicator. I press ENTER to proceed and the system restarts. The Ubuntu sign-on appears and I log in with my name and password. The desktop appears with APPLICATIONS, PLACES and SYSTEM in the menubar, The restricted drivers dialog appears - at least I think it was the restricted drivers little yellow pop-up helper - but soon disappears as more (OVERSIZED) tiny icons are stuffed into the menubar. I move the mouse over the green restricted drivers icon at the top of the screen, in the right half of the menu. It says RESTRICTED DRIVERS AVAILABLE (I'm paraphrasing) It asks for my admin password and then gives me the Restricted Drivers dialog, with the heading "No proprietary driers are in use on this system. There is a driver in the lower half - "ATI accelerated graphics driver" - there is no check in the Enabled box, and there is a red dot and text that says "Not in use" for status. I click on enable. I get a dialog with a Red circle and a white bar - with text: "The software source for the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not enabled." I click on close. I open the Synaptic Pkg Manager, and click on Repositories menuitem; I click on the "Third Party" tab, and there are two options - for gutsy partner and guts partner (Source Code) Yesterday, I click on just the first one - this time I click to enable both. Closing out of that brings me back to the "restricted drivers" window, and I click to enable the driver - clicking on the ENABLE DRIVER button in the dialog that asks "Enable the Driver? ATI accelerated graphics driver. It now downloads three files. (It would have been MUCH nicer if I didnt' have to go through the Synaptic Pkg Manager step - and it just "did it" for me. I'm pretty novice - but most people/first time Ubuntu-ists, I bet, who are real novices would totally be stumped on that.) The next dialog says "Changes applied - successfully applied all changes". I close that. The dialog beneath shows that the accelerated driver is installed, but "Needs computer restart" is the status. I click on the notification itcone - there are four updates for • libparted • parted • update-manager • update-manager-core I click to INSTALL updates. IT APPLIES the changes. INSTALLING SOFTWARE. Update is complete. Click on CLOSE button. the Dialog says "Your system is up-to-date", so I click on CLOSE. I'm not back at the RESTRICTED DRIVERS WINDOW, and the headline text says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" so I close that dialog, and then click on the "power" button to RESTART. Here's the moment of truth. GRUB Loading Starting Up The Ubuntu logo appears The console briefly flashes by, twice before I get the dialog "System runs in a graphical failsafe mode", with two buttons to CONTINUE or CONFIGURE. The screen is not recognized and the default model it is trying is "Plug 'n Play". ===================================================== 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 Host Bridge (rev 10) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64 I/O ports at 4100 [disabled] [size=32] Memory at (64-bit, non-prefetchable) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 99 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=68 I/O behind bridge: 0000e000-0000efff Memory behind bridge: fdd00000-fddfffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 00000000d8000000-00000000dfffff ff Capabilities: 00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc ATI 4379 Serial ATA Controller (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16 I/O ports at fe00 [size=8] I/O ports at fd00 [size=4] I/O ports at fc00 [size=8] I/O ports at fb00 [size=4] I/O ports at fa00 [size=16] Memory at fe02f000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 20000000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at fe02e000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at fe02d000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB2 Host Controller (prog-if 20 [EHCI]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at fe02c000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 11) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: 66MHz, medium devsel I/O ports at 0400 [size=16] Memory at fe02b000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller ATI (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18 I/O ports at 01f0 [size=8] I/O ports at 03f4 [size=1] I/O ports at 0170 [size=8] I/O ports at 0374 [size=1] I/O ports at f800 [size=16] Capabilities: 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-ISA Bridge Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 0 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-PCI Bridge (prog-if 01 [Subtractive decode]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64 Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 0000d000-0000dfff Memory behind bridge: fdc00000-fdcfffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: fde00000-fdefffff 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration Flags: fast devsel Capabilities: 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map Flags: fast devsel 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller Flags: fast devsel 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control Flags: fast devsel 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a24 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at ef00 [size=256] Memory at fddf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at fdd00000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: 02:01.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem (rev 03) Subsystem: Agere Systems Unknown device 044c Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 255 Memory at fdcff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] I/O ports at df00 [size=8] I/O ports at de00 [size=256] Capabilities: 02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS Subsystem: Creative Labs SB0410 SBLive! 24-bit Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16 I/O ports at dd00 [size=32] Capabilities: 02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
