http://crunchbanglinux.org – I have been using #! since v. 9.04, and I have recently installed Waldorf after a short time on LMDE. These are a few ideas I have had:Nvidia driver installation: each time I install, I look up the how to on these forums, follow what is written, and eventually end up with the non-free drivers installed correctly. Not exactly painful, but switching to tty1 and killing the DM means you need another device handy (or pen and paper) so you can know what to type.Would be nice if there were an option in the #! menu that just launched a script that would do the whole thing. Maybe it could go into cb-w (HowTos)

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble configuring the CUDA and NVIDIA drivers on my notebook.

The deal is, I already tried install NVIDIA from diferente tutorials more then 8-9 times, and all times after install it I'm not able to use startx :\

I installed my backtrack on a persistent usb, and since I couldn't startx, I follow this tutorial: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=48

I just installed 12.04 Alternate for the first time to give it a try using a USB stick burned with UnetBootIn.

It installed without a problem. But it booted into a tty1 console without booting into a GUI.

After logging into the tty1 console, I typed unity. It appeared that the system doesn't have unity desktop. How can it be solved?

Hiya all

I'm messing around with the minimal installation of 12.10, and the first time I ran it, I got a weird option that I haven't been able to get again.

It was explaining something about hardware drivers to include, whether to include all the drivers it could to ensure the OS boots successfully, or just include targeted drivers for that particular system (which, if it didn't pick up a re

Having trouble getting Disk Utility to run, from CLI or Menu.Running Waldorf on a 32-bit netbook. Everything is working, except for this program.Installed using [sudo apt-get gnome-disk-utility], which installed okay.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and have just installed Ubuntu 11.10, and installed a few applications. I wanted to install the NVIDIA driver which I downloaded from nvidia.com.

Had to stop lightdm for running the install. Went to tty1 and ran it. It reported one error, "failed to load the pre-install script", Is that serious?

Earlier today I downgraded the driver for my nvidia 240 GT from version 310 to version 304 using ubuntus "additional drivers" utility. After the install I rebooted but instead of opening unity and allowing me to login it booted into tty1 instead.
