I'm usually the one answering questions, but in this I'm throughly stumped!
My Setup:
Ubuntu 12.10 (Dist upgrade form 12.04)
ATI M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650]
Upon the first installation of 12.10 I had all kinds of issues getting the Legacy ATI drivers to install (I guess the source for the drivers isn't kosher with kernel 3.5).
I have unity, gnome-shell and xubuntu on my laptop. They all have their favorite preinstalled programs it seems. Do I really need three text editors for example? Could I remove two and just have the other desktops use the one I keep? It seems as though I could get rid of all video playback programs as well and just use vlc for example. Am I going to mess something up? I am new to all this.
I bought a Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 today. It came with Ubuntu 11.10 preinstalled. I tried it out, but it's something terrible. First of all, it's pure Unity without gnome 2 or even gnome 3 (only Unity/Unity 2D). I was unable to find synaptic, but somehow opened a terminal and tried to install ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop, but first is installed already and second is not found.
Hi,
I imagine this is a pretty dull question on these fora, but my situation is a little different. I've been using ubuntu for ages now, but I am a bit buggered by the lack of support for some of my hardware. Specifically the ATI Radeon® X1200 video card. ATI no longer supports the card, and the drivers are no longer compatible with Ubuntu (9.04 onwards).
Will there be a distro for Gnome like Ubuntu Gnome style? Allso will Gnome be available in later version like 13 and so on please get back to me on this I hope some devs can relate as well.
I was planning on installing a new linux distribution and I am thinking of trying GNOME 3 interface. Other than Fedora 16 ( which has GNOME 3 as default) which other distro supports it? I know it can be installed from the repository(before you downvote me). But I tried the GNOME 3 on OpenSuse and had hard time running it; it never really integrated fully.
Gnome 3.2 and 3.4 had acceptable performance (using 'radeon') but 3.6 had slightly jerky animations and now installing 3.8 beta from the PPA on raring, it seems it is very slow, jerky and unusable. Setting Clutter Vblank to none improves performance but still very choppy and annoying, Anyone know anything about this?
Radeon 4250 on AMD's 880g chipset
How can i install the gnome shell without any preinstalled packages or programs in Ubuntu Server 12.04? And does it come with a login manager? If not, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
