| dlbass | hello! 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 direction | 16:26 |

| GreenHippo | Hello. 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 |
| GreenHippo | 2.6 core 2 duo with 4gb ram 1gb hdd 512 gt240 ddr5 | 20:23 |
| HedgeMage | GreenHippo: can you describe what "a corrupted screen" looks like? | 20:24 |
| GreenHippo | heavily pixellated | 20:25 |
| GreenHippo | no graphics. like looking up at the stars at night with a black background | 20:26 |
| GreenHippo | is there a setting i can turn off to lessen graphic use on try or install. like a basic graphic driver | 20:27 |
| HedgeMage | It sounds like the installer is having trouble detecting what your graphics chipset is. Have you tried the non-graphical installer? | 20:28 |
| GreenHippo | no. there is no choice that i can see on the bootable dvd | 20:30 |
| GreenHippo | chipset is nvidia | 20:30 |
| HedgeMage | hold on, I can help but parenting duty calls | 20:30 |
| HedgeMage | I'll be back in a little bit | 20:31 |
| alkisg | Try pressing F6 in the first boot screen and writing "xforcevesa" as a kernel parameter | 20:33 |
| alkisg | http://ubuntu.ninetomidnight.com/images/book/options.png | 20:33 |
| GreenHippo | ok alkisg, that worked. thanks | 20:38 |
| GreenHippo | had to be something simple | 20:38 |
| alkisg | GreenHippo: you might need to install nvidia-current in text mode after the installation | 20:38 |
| alkisg | As you'll hit the same problem then | 20:38 |
| GreenHippo | im installing on a spare hdd that ill be switching between various computers. so will install a generic video driver | 20:39 |
| GreenHippo | its connected to the pc via a usb dongle | 20:39 |
| alkisg | All open drivers are installed by default, so you'll get nouveau, which appareantly has a problem with your card and won't work | 20:40 |
| GreenHippo | i see | 20:40 |
| alkisg | Anyway try it first and you'll see about fixing it later on | 20:40 |
| GreenHippo | ok. thanks for your help. its very much appreciated | 20:40 |
