[Chester LUG] At last I'm getting some ware

[Paul Williams]

Congrats on getting Ubuntu working fine.  I tried Suse, but had major issues with my graphics under it - It off centred my screen by over half of it in both horizontal and vertical axes so I could only see quarter of the screen.

I have used Ubuntu for about 18 months now, and I find it fairly straightforward.  Sure, I still have problems to solve, but I had that with any OS.

As for Amarok and Rhythmbox, never used them much.  Sorry.


Good luck.

Hi All
Now I have an Ubuntu installation up and working thanks for the help and friendly introduction to the group. I down loaded version 9.04 in both 32 and 64 bit and tried an install with the 32 bit which was successful after a time. Compared to Suse, Ubuntu is very slow but it worked, but I had gone back through the option pages and then did not change the HD from sda to sdb so it installed on the same drive as Suse, which I did not discover for a couple of days. any way I have reinstalled it on sdb and started to explore and set things up.

Of course the fun starts here with a learning curve that is vertical and a thousands new question. So it is a shame that I can not attend meetings untill June some time when Italian ends.
Just a couple for now, one, although I have deleated the first insall on drive sda there is still the opption to boot it in the boot manager, and for tidyness I would like to lose it.

Two, I want to get to grips with using Rythumbox  or Amarok To manage downloading podcasts and accessing music on the web, does any one use Last.fm I'm having trouble with understanding how it works in Rytnumbox or Amarok!


Thanks again
Richard.
