dlbasshello! I have been trying to find out a way to make Ubuntu automatically install updates on its own without asking, but I must be using the wrong keywords because I have found nothing. Can any of you point me in the right direction16:26

GreenHippoHello. When I try to install Edubuntu 11.04 i get a corrupted screen and the system locks up. Same thing happens when I just 'try before install'.20:23
GreenHippo2.6 core 2 duo with 4gb ram 1gb hdd 512 gt240 ddr520:23
HedgeMageGreenHippo: can you describe what "a corrupted screen" looks like?20:24
GreenHippoheavily pixellated20:25
GreenHippono graphics. like looking up at the stars at night with a black background20:26
GreenHippois there a setting i can turn off to lessen graphic use on try or install. like a basic graphic driver20:27
HedgeMageIt sounds like the installer is having trouble detecting what your graphics chipset is.  Have you tried the non-graphical installer?20:28
GreenHippono. there is no choice that i can see on the bootable dvd20:30
GreenHippochipset is nvidia20:30
HedgeMagehold on, I can help but parenting duty calls20:30
HedgeMageI'll be back in a little bit20:31

alkisgAs you'll hit the same problem then20:38
GreenHippoim installing on a spare hdd that ill be switching between various computers. so will install a generic video driver20:39
GreenHippoits connected to the pc via a usb dongle20:39
alkisgAll open drivers are installed by default, so you'll get nouveau, which appareantly has a problem with your card and won't work20:40
GreenHippoi see20:40
alkisgAnyway try it first and you'll see about fixing it later on20:40
GreenHippook. thanks for your help. its very much appreciated20:40
