Hello there,

=After the third time I've installed ubuntu version 5.10, 64bit for my 64bit-PC,

=The machine is:
AMD 64 processor
Seprom + or - 3000 (sorry I can't be specific on this).
1024 ram.
80 hdd (master, where my datos are).
40 hdd (slave, where I am trying to install).
(I am afraid I dont know the graphic card, I will find out).
21 inch monitor.2 hdds, 80 as master and 40 as sleave), the installation has been done on 40 (all my datos are in the 80).


=Then, in stead of go to login happened the following:


'biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! biiiii! biiiii! biii!' sound,
and
a black screen with a little line like this ' - ' on the left-top-corner. nothing else!
From there I can only go to ctrl+alt+F1 to commands.
But I don't know the right commands

=I have been to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', and change the driver device to 'vesa' (mine was s3), it didin't work.

=Then I did it manually, It got worse that a needed to install every thing again.

=CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME COMMANDS OF HOW CAN I DISPLAY?

By the way, I've used the live cd, is the same problem.

Regards.

Sidney.

Hmm..sounds like that version of Ubuntu isn't getting along with some of your hardware, probably your graphics card. I'd suggest that if you have a broadband (say adsl) connection, try upgrading to the latest Dapper development version (it's almost ready, I've been using it long 32-bit and my friend 64-bit version and have seen no bigger problems than some translation-things on non-english installations).

Here's how you can do the job from the command line (press CTRL+ATL+1 for example, log in as root to make things faster):

if you don't have nano installed or wish to use some other text editor, simply change your favourite editor in place of that "nano -w" (red above); you could use "joe" or "vim" too. anyway, when the editor opens, there are lines describing where the packages are obtained; you should be fine simply by replacing every "breezy" with "dapper", like in the example below:

First, you have a line like this (not exactly like this, maybe):
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted

Then, you change it into this (only change the red part):
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted

And that's what you do to all lines that contain the word "breezy" - just put "dapper" in place of that. Then save the file (if you use nano then it's CTRL+O then CRTL+Q) and in the console run

you'll get a lot of updates now. just install them (apt-get WILL remove a whole lot of apps, but don't worry: you'll get newer ones instead) and reboot and see if that helped. if apt-get complains about the sources (that they don't exist or something), you can check out the sources file to see that there are correct sources there; it should contain at least the following lines:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper multiverse

I hope you get your display working

what m/board have you got...
and if you cant get ubuntu working with your hardware, then try something else...
say mandriva live...
if you get a live disk to work then you should have no problem with an install..
but if no live then dont bother with trying that distro to install...
when you get a live disc working then install it and learn...
then go mad and make whatever you want, run on it...

Thank you so much.

I have graphic displaying!

Thank you!!!
