| SocratesII | I'm not sure how long i have before the stable release iso is ready to burn. i just thought id pop in and offer that the beta installed but did not work long after the desktop appeared. Two separate full installs. It was on a macbook pri mid 2008 4,1. I'll be passing an SSD down from my more current laptop soon and am willing to help debug a | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| SocratesII | little at that time... or sooner if the stable release does the same. | 00:01 |
| SocratesII | The first thing im doing is going into the settings which causes a nearly instant freeze. One thing worth mentioning is that my battery died and is pulled until I see if it is worth replacing. | 00:12 |

| Eickmeyer | SocratesII: Did you, while installing the beta, uncheck any of the applications you didn't need? | 00:21 |
| Eickmeyer | Also, a 2008 MacBook Pro (Read: 12-year-old machine) is really too old to run any of the installed applications. Ubuntu Studio is not made to breathe new life into old equipment. | 00:24 |
| Eickmeyer | I'm guessing it's a complete hardware incompatibility. | 00:24 |
| SocratesII | The RAN is 4GB, with a Penryn chipset Core 2 Duo (t8300), graphics are GeForce 8600M GT. | 00:30 |
| SocratesII | ...RAM... not RAN. | 00:30 |
| SocratesII | It fits from what I see of hardware requirements... even finds and uses the external monitor... finally garps at desktop. | 00:31 |
| SocratesII | the plan, so far is to try the stable release and, failing that, move on to different ubuntu flavors installing the sutdio package afterwards. | 00:33 |
| SocratesII | Performance worry wise, I have an old firewire 400 sound card and if it works to revive it, ill add another 2GB of ram and an SSD. | 00:34 |
| SocratesII | BTW... not yet... so far ive done full installs. | 00:39 |

| StevenJayCohen | <sakrecoer[m] "when i have marked a bug as "aff"> You can subscribe to the bug separately in the right column of the page. Sorry, I don't know how to find "Affects me" ones, but when I want updates, I subscribe. | 14:10 |
| sakrecoer[m] | <StevenJayCohen "You can subscribe to the bug sep"> Thanks! I ended up doing that, after searching for it for way too long lol | 14:14 |

| StevenJayCohen | So, laptop wifi is working (out of the box), but Ubuntu offers me a proprietary driver (Intel 8265/8275) for my wifi. I'd like to know what the differences are? Difference in range? Anything? Can't find a link to read up on this. Anyone got any ideas? | 21:25 |
| shaban238 | i would say stay with the open source driver and see how it works. if you have problems switch to proprietary | 21:32 |
| Eickmeyer | StevenJayCohen: Never ran into that myself with Intel. | 21:32 |
| StevenJayCohen | Yeah, I'm staying on the open one. I was ready to RTFM but I can't find the FM :) | 21:34 |
