[14:18] <mgariepy> good morning everyone
[15:03] <Ahmuck> morning
[16:26] <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
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <HedgeMage> GreenHippo: can you describe what "a corrupted screen" looks like?
[20:25] <GreenHippo> heavily pixellated
[20:26] <GreenHippo> no graphics. like looking up at the stars at night with a black background
[20:27] <GreenHippo> is there a setting i can turn off to lessen graphic use on try or install. like a basic graphic driver
[20:28] <HedgeMage> It sounds like the installer is having trouble detecting what your graphics chipset is.  Have you tried the non-graphical installer?
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <HedgeMage> I'll be back in a little bit
[20:33] <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
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <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
