Any help ? [16:18] my email address vawdam @hotmail.com [16:18] hi mo [16:19] hi mo_ [16:19] Hi kilos [16:19] can you wait some please. most of the guys are on their way home i think [16:19] welcome to ubuntu-za [16:20] Hav Ubuntu on my desktop for a month and I love it!! [16:20] good [16:21] you can also try the mailing lists just try give as much info as possible [16:21] ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com [16:22] Thank U for that info, I will try that. I tried to google for solution to this problem , but does not seem to be common at all. [16:24] normally ubuntu graphics work with the default settings and you get prop dardware drivers later [16:24] but thats by me [16:24] some one will help you they just overloaded with work this time of the year [16:26] Unfortunately Ubuntu linux is not supported by HP. Though the laptopo is certified for another veresion of linux [16:27] there will be a way to make it work. normally hp products work with ubuntu [16:28] if it works on linux it will work with ubuntu === smorar is now known as smorar_ [16:29] It is strange because the stick works on any other comp I try it on.
