Can't install AMD drivers and Blinking problem

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with WUBI, everything is going fine and ubuntu is awesome but i have a little problem. When i open my Sony VAIO model E laptop, i have 2 choices (which is normal) but when i select Ubuntu 1/2 of the time it will just give a rapidly blinkin color background and can only be corrected if i reboot the computer and select ubuntu again. I think this has something to do with the fact i can't get any driver update for my computer from AMD, according to their website, VAIO computers aren't supported. I have a AMD RADEON HD 7650M graphic card which is not detected in ub (HowTos)

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on A Sony Vaio VGN-FS920. I need to know how to install drivers for the touchpad and basicaly general operating drivers.

Hello. I am new to the forums and kind of new to Ubuntu and I am having a problem when trying to install Experimental 310 drivers. My laptop specs are:

Sony Vaio VGN-AW290J/AH Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz 2 Gb Ram (had a stick go out. Getting a new one soon as it is standard 4gb ram) Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT Ubuntu 12.04 32bit (fully updated)

I am using the Nvidia Current-update driver right now.

I have installed Ubuntu using Wubi on my Windows 7 machine (Sony Vaio). Everything installed perfectly, but whenever I reboot my system there is no Ubuntu (there is no dual boot menu). I checked my Windows setting and it seems there is only Windows (it could not recognize Ubuntu).

Could anyone help me how to solve this problem.

I am attempting to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS on a Sony Vaio Laptop, the laptop's primary screen is non-functional. I run into a problem on the screen following the creation of a username/password. It appears to want me to select an avatar. I get an error relating to the webcam it seems when I look in the /var/log/syslogs.

I have a VAIO laptop model VGN-C22GH. It has a built in wireless card with a Intel Centrino processor on his motherboard.

When using Ubuntu 10.04, the wireless indicator blinks violently. This symptom does not appear with earlier versions of Ubuntu like 9.10 or 8.10.

This leads me to believe that it is a driver issue.
