Apologies, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic was w/o display.

Installation of Nvidia binary drivers was done via Envy. Envy was
installed via download and apt-get

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

2007-08-03 Thread hanselang
@Pitwalker

You are absolutely right, I killed my PC today (hopefully parts replacement was 
on warranty) as well as two full days of attempting to get Ubuntu to dualboot 
with Windows XP on SATA RAID0 and an IDE drive.
I find it very sad that this little task (installation) took up an 
extraordinary amount of time where the same process in Windows XP would have 
taken 20 seconds to load a 3.5" floppy disk into the floppy drive, press F6 to 
load [Specific Drivers] and choose which SATA RAID0 drive to begin Windows 
installation.

While this is a personal situation, I have found numerous unanswered
posts by newbies who JUST wanted to have their cake and eat it. i.e.
Dual boot and install with little hassle.

To draw an analogy, no point furnishing a house beautifully if you don't
own the key to that house.

The mantra of "you must backup your data" has to go. It goes against the 
philosophy of bringing an OS to the people.
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista is about serving the people (with some 
compromises)
They have anticipated and researched well market trends and responded.


I would like Ubuntu to do the same.

[Bug 22107] Re: missing dmraid support needed to access SATA raids

2007-08-03 Thread hanselang
GParted killed my mainboard after it failed to partition my IDE drive
which sits as C: together with the SATA RAID0 E: (WINXP Boot) and Ubuntu
assigned partitions (/root, /boot, /home and /swap)

Previously followed the guides Howto: which left out some VERY important 
details.
1) That this guide was designed for a single SATA RAID0 system
2) No instruction on how to open the editor to edit the menu.lst 

Thus:
1) I failed to have GRUB load which instead automatically brought me to Windows 
XP
2) I ended up doing the entire process listed in the Howto from Step 1 again 
and again
3) GPart failed to repartition my IDE drive which stores some personal data. 
AND possibly destroyed it...
