Standard installation with nothing out of the ordinary changed. Basically default settings all the way.

I typed in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it tells me it's already installed. Good. So it should work. I type sudo/etc/init.d/gdm start and the screen goes blank for 8 seconds three times in a row and then back to the command line. I have also tried gdm start without the path before and it says GDM already running. Aborting!

I have 8.10 and it's a valid disk (no errors).

Can someone help please?]]>

Gateway MD24 Series Notebook to be exact

so my webcam doesn't work and when i ran the test below, I highlighted the bold part! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Please, any help is awesome, I have tinkered with linux to get a scanner to work, to get a usb drive to be wiped (it had a special format mode running on it and linux wasn't liking it) so i know my way around, but this one has me stumped!

my laptop has a 64 bit processor, 3 gig ram, duo core AMD, uh... dedicated ATI gfx card (drivers installed)

the part that tweeks me out and makes me know its working is I can login to chat roulette and the FIRST TIME it will work, and i can see people and myself, but if i refresh or move on to another chatter its gone, no webcam.

I have heard that Ubuntu 9.10 has been released and would like to know the major change from 9.04 to 9.10 and is the new 9.10 better to use. If anyone can help me in getting the difference between both that would help me.

Hoping to hear from you!

So here's the story. While running windows (bleah, i know) my laptop randomly decided that it wanted to run slowly (really slowly). I did every test imaginable, reformatted it etc but to no avail. So I reinstalled drivers and tried all that lot. In the end I've decided its the hardware, but no-one seems to agree which piece of hardware,

So why post on an ubuntu forum? well I decided (after installing a hard drive i found) I installed ubuntu, I figured it would rule out software. So I figure on an ubuntu forum, hopefully someone might be able to tell me what type of tests to run in ubuntu to make this laptop run right again,

Thanks if anyone decides to help,

Most of the instructions I understand however Im not sure about step 2. The instructions are below:

In step 2 do I create a txt file in vi "sudo vi tftp" and copy and paste the service tftp text into the file??

or do I create a directory /etc/xinetd.d/tftp called tftp create the file tftp.

When I go to step 4 and attempt to start the tftp service I receive a message that indicates that the command has failed to start the server: is there away to verify that the tftp service is running??
What I receive is:
andy@andy-desktop:/$ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start

andy@andy-desktop:/$

Howto install and setup
1. Install tftpd and related packages.

$ sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp

2. Create /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and put this entry:

protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /tftpboot
disable = no
}

3. Make /tftpboot directory

$ sudo mkdir /tftpboot
$ sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
$ sudo chown -R nobody /tftpboot

4. Start tftpd through xinetd

$ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start

5. Testing. Tranfering file hda.txt from 192.168.1.100 (Client using tftp) to 192.168.1.100 (Server 192.168.1.100). Get an example file to transfer (eg. hda.txt)

I don't mean to sound like a troll, but anyone with half a brainstem would probably never take this site seriously. If you want some tips to attract members, you should probably come up with some original content (tutorials, articles, videos, news applications, anything), and make the forums secondary. Mind you, try not to make everything sound like you're a herd of Linux Zealots ("linux is better than windows because YoullBeFree™ and you can see teh codez"). Acknowledge that neither Windows, OS X, or Linux is perfect, and you shall soon acquire a solid memberbase not consisting of retardism and zealotry. THAT would be an awesome site compared to the official Ubuntu forums, which consists of nothing but.
