Problems instaling linux
 

Hi first at all English isn't my native language so sorry if I suck.

I try to install linux mint 64 bits in my pc but i have the problem that the picture make flashes and after a while if freeze with horizontal lines and i have to reboot, this happen a few times so i try to install ubudu but whit this is worse because don't even let my see the desk because its freeze with again he horizontal lines.

I don't know what to do

Are you sure that your pc is 64 bit. I got the same problem when I tried to install a 64 bit os into my 62 bit computer.

Thats what i am going to try tomorrow today i don't have any new disk i used to have a 64 bits windows and I am pretty sure is 64 but maybe with 32 runs better i don't really know how to see my system information with linux, windows make me feel smarted than linux jaja

Try this command in the terminal it should tell you 32-bit or 64-
;)

Thanks!!
yes it works
but i have a 64 bits system sooo.. thats not the problem, i have a GeForce 6150se nforce 430 for video card maybe that the problem...

You are welcome!

I cant install any of it in all a error ocurred and dont install anything its say dependency error of something like that, but i see in a post that i have this option of setting the drivers there is the picture of the options i have to choose, and i very open to any recomendation XD

Try the nvidia-173 driver, I have several systems with the 6150se card and use that driver without issues.

Thanks that was helpful mint is working great, but ubuntu dont even start

but i have mint i think i going to stay with that
i think i have maybe to buy a new video card this one sucks, nvidia those bunch of bastards

Have a good weekend-

okey now I have install Debian and I having the same problem but because is Debian this solution doesnt work anymore

and I dowload NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.44.run
this drive but when I tried to intall it, its says that I am in x86_64 and i have to be in X86
so I tried to kill x this way:
sudo service gdm stop
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
and it doesnt work
I have been searching for forums with the solutions but I didt find it if you find it or you have any clue how can I solve it I will be thanksfull XD

Are you trying to install that NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.44.run ?

I am trying yes but I can kill x and I am asking because maybe (i hope) is another way to making my GeForce 6150se nforce 430 work well
