@ Gabriel Grant Yeah your best bet is a USB CDrom drive. The error I would bet while under the live cd is in dmesg:
[ 114.748000] [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held [ 114.748000] [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 8080 using kernel context 0 there maybe more. But what I have found though is that the desktop effects (using compiz) are just not very stable. It works good for a while, then it will totally lock the machine. Well at least the video, tasks are still running on the machine. Basically you can't do anything. I just ended up turning it off completely. -- [gutsy] Regression - "Desktop effects could not be enabled" on ATI Mobility Radeon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
