DroidDuckI can't seem to get the ubuntu live cd to run. It starts to, I get the keyboard and lil'guy icon, then the I get a white pixelated bar at the bottom of the screen.01:41
DroidDuckAnyone know how to correct this?01:42
wilee-nileeDroidDuck, Try at the choice of install try or check the memory gui when booted hitting f6 then choosing nomodeset then boot in.01:47
wilee-nileeyou may have a graphic driver problem in this stage it seems01:48
DroidDuckI don't get any choice to install01:48
DroidDuckthis happen on boot before I even see the desktop or gdm01:48
wilee-nileeDroidDuck, Is this a live cd?01:48
wilee-nileecheck the md5sum of the disc and make sure it wa burned at the slowest speed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM  You should be seeing with a booted liove cd a choice menu as I describe right away, although a unstbootin loaded usb may not show this gui I believe.01:50
DroidDuckwilee-nilee, yes it's a live cd01:52
DroidDuckThe cd works fine in other PCs01:52
DroidDuckjust on this one with a different video card, it fails01:53

wilee-nileeyour on the ubuntu channel now I suspect they will say the same. If you are not seeing the gui at boot of the cd then do you see it on the other machine.01:53
DroidDuckYeah, it works fine on other machines01:54
wilee-nileeDo you know what I am referencing is what I'm getting at. Continuing to say it works on other machines is not communicating01:54

sral77permission problem - I have created a group with "addgroup --system mygroup" and added two users by using "addgroup user1 mygroup" and "addgroup user2 mygroup". Then i give a directory and a file in that directory permission by doing "chmod -R 770 somedir" and set group with "chgrp -R mygroup somedir". But i get access error when logged in as either user, when i ls the directory, or read/write the file? What am i doing wrong?16:14
swamihi. I am new ubuntu user. recently i have given the command->   sudo apt-get upgrade.  and from then onwards my wifi is not working. any help.16:39
holsteinswami: i would assume a kernel upgrade has happened and try booting into the older one as a troubleshooting step16:40
swamihow to do that ?16:40
holsteintap shift at boot if you dont see the grub menu... you'll see an "older kernels" entry.. older, earlier... something like that16:41
swamiok i will try and come back. thank you.16:41
