just a quick update, the situation has just got worse, Now when I boot up I get the message telling me that ubuntu must run in low graphics mode for this session which is really starting to get me down. I was starting to enjoy linux again but just as before it causes more problems than it solves

For the past few hours ive been struggling to get graphics drivers working for a radeon 9200 (i know its old) in ubuntu 8.10 intrepid. Have tried installing xorg-driver-fglrx and the catalyst control centre ccc but on opening ccc it says No ATI graphics driver is installed or it is not functioning properly. Please install the appropriate driver. My installation is pretty clean and ive got no additional repos. Any help would be appreciated as i'm shattered and this is starting to get to me especially after this summary of the xorg-driver-fglrx package thanks for any ideas

just browsing another thread it seems typing google into google really does break the interweb http://repository.neoplosive.co.uk/edugeek/images/GooglesFreakedOut.JPG i'm sorry but i found this really funny

i installed a trial of power dvd and that seemed to install the codecs i needed so its working fine thanks for the help

I tried the codec pack again and all I got was Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This problem was caused by ffdshow codec, which was created by ffdshow. ffdshow codec is a codec. A codec is software that is used to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or video. Media players and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files. any help appreciated thx

On tuesday I was watching DVD's on my computer with no problems but today I try to play my fave Lord of the rings DVD and I get Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. The same occures with all DVDs and I tried the K-lite mega codec pack and when i play it then it just crashes out please help???

Thanks that fixed it

work machine got problem? hahaha my own? noooooooooooo I was using my Ubuntu machine fine yesterday but today I boot up and grub behaves as normal but when it attempts to boot from my os it said "Error selected cylinder range is beyond BIOS supported range" I havn't changed anything I rebooted and this time all i get is GRUB ERROR 16 any help appreciated (i suspect HDD failure)

I tried yum clean all but no luck so I know this sounds dumb but how do i change the link again?

tried manual install of kmod-nvidia-common but got livna-config-display is needed by package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386 (/home/hgs/Download/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386.rpm) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs = 173.14.12-1.lvn9 is needed by package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386 (/home/hgs/Download/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386.rpm) nvidia-kmod >= 173.14.12 is needed by package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386 (/home/hgs/Download/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386.rpm)

proxy=http://10.121.128.30:80/ i tried down loading and installing kmod-nvidia manually but all i get is [root@Fedora10-test /]# rpm -ivh /home/hgs/Download/kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686-180.22-1.fc10.1.i686.rpm warning: /home/hgs/Download/kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686-180.22-1.fc10.1.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID b1981b68 error: Failed dependencies: nvidia-kmod-common >= 180.22 is needed by kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686-180.22-1.fc10.1.i686 seems slightly more hopeful so will try installing common yum cannot find tho
