Subject: Failed Migration to Linux
FYI, my 3rd attempt to go to Linux failed. Ubuntu
didn't get anywhere - the startup install screen
would not show, just a blank screen. Tried 32 bit
and 64 bit - same
I've never known Ubuntu to bomb like that. Especially with an nVidia card. Must be
some oddball setup
you have there. Or, there's a hardware issue. Almost sounds like the video card
isn't right. Maybe not seated correctly?
The main problem was no local home network connection
(unable to mount location). I had internet connection
(unlike the previous time I tried to move to Linux), but
no home network. I spent a lot of time trying to figure
it out, but no luck. Maybe next time.
What shop you mean ' no home network'? I've got an entire home LAN setup.
Windows and Linux. It's not out of the box however. You will need SAMBA for that. At
least for seeing/interacting with Windows machines. It's really not that complicated
to get that setup. I, or anyone, here can probably walk you through that.
You aren't that far from getting a good setup. Seems a bit silly to give up just
because of that.
You don't need to figure it out on your own. That's why we have a mailing list
for. I'll be glad to work with you offlist if you like.
