It doesn't support digital video in my LCD. I have heard that some people's monitors' digital out has completely burned because of this. I won't use analog, just for a stupid OS (especially Linux!)

[chamithal]

I once used Ubuntu as my main OS! But after about a week or two, I realized that what we pay (though we get it free, he he.., it's not distributed freely ne) is worth while! If I am to only uselicenced s/w, I'd buy Windows, but since I'm not a rich guy, I'd try other free stuff like Avast Free, Open Office n so on...

grate... if you care enough give a try to suse and mepis... they are some other nice distros... just head to distrowatch.com... and have a look at the distros there ;)

[Anusha]

Dude, digital is superior to analog in terms of quality and performance. I'm talking about LCD, ok. That's one of the three things that I looked when buying this monitor. If Ubuntu can't support it, then it's a real shame.

Hell! DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is newer technology.

If you are saying Linux is for junk PCs, that's true.

nah... if some HW don't support linux it just means that it is for windows junkies who are at masses... and the company didn't care about the small market share for linux...

[The_Ace]

Linux works on any PC, juck or otherwise. Try that with Windows and you'll have hell to pay..

[dineitdark]

and by the way... linux supports some cards which have DVI...

bhoomi thel walinuth duwanawada ? :p
There are some hardware that linux will not work on but this is because of the hardware manufacters refusing to support linux or refusing to give the white papers to the linux community.

yea may be who knows... i haven't tried it yet though ;)

yea thats true.... but it doesn't mean that people can't hack the HW, or do some reverse engineering of windows drivers :D and btw linux runs on a lot of HW, a LOT more than windows can run on.. becuase linux is open source people can port it to any HW, thats the bottom line.

[Anusha]

nah... if some HW don't support linux it just means that it is for windows junkies who are at masses... and the company didn't care about the small market share for linux...
Huh? This is not a new technology that was released just now. It's been there for a while. And what you say is only applicable to hardware that require drivers. This is just plug and play.

That makes is more pathetic! Latest Ubuntu version can't use DVI. :lol:

[Anusha]

hey anusha... see yar... you will never understand, what is the fault or where is the fault... so bye!
The fault is in Ubuntu 7.0.4 (don't know about old ones). I don't think it's a problem with Linux. I think other distros supports DVI.

WTF! Yeah, that's why out of the box hardware don't work sometimes I suppose. :rolleyes:

I read it over the internet when mine didn't work. I don't wanna try it and be the smart ass. Buy an LCD monitor with DVI port and see for yourself. BTW, make sure you don't mention to the technical person that you've been trying Ubuntu 7.0.4.

[madurax86]

n dude abt dat junk thingy yes Linux is da only thing in this world dat can run it's latest release on a PII 233MHz n 32MB ram dats y ppl r dumpin windows its waste of money; try xubuntu its specially made for older pcs ...install on a normal machine(p4) it'd run like hell....unlike xp

ders a way u can get ubuntu to work tho; u hav to shift to CLI n config the xserver system to suit ya hardware n load the xserver manually

Well, it's at the beginning of xserver that it stops working.

[The_Ace]

Well, it's at the beginning of xserver that it stops working.

Then you need to give the correct parameters to the x.org (xserver) config to work with your video hardware..

[madurax86]

u hav to start ubuntu in CLI mode den u hav to config xserver login to root n goto config file den configure ur monitor;[u may read articles on da net for dis] first look whether ur lcd is set to da lowest config...u knw res n freqs
n dude da next tym u buy hardware dont try to get da latest part for da lowest price coz like in software they may b BETA versions!!

[The_Ace]

no need to start i in CLI mode. You can give the parameters at boot time.

[Anusha]

Then you need to give the correct parameters to the x.org (xserver) config to work with your video hardware..
Hard work :lol:
I will see. But I'm afraid that it might burn the digial in if I make a mistake. Few people have reported that. Some people have corrected it by turning off the monitor & disconnecting it from the card; some haven't..

[The_Ace]

Then try a linux distro that has good HW support. Suggest you try Mandriva or PC LinuxOS

[Anusha]

I guess that's the only way for me. But, I'll stick with Windows instead :lol:

[madurax86]

ahh ye i forgot u can giv da need parameters as boot parameters..set all to low n boot
well i suggest SUSE da latest stable release..., DEBIAN or slackware

[prasadana2]

ya 2day i got my cds from them i instlled them u can do every thing what u do in windows but i had to switch back 2 xp coz sum applications i need the most dosnt run in it..

Goes to show that Linux is not for everyone.

BTW trying Debian stock kernel on new hardware is NOT recommended unless you're ready to hack with the scripts and kernel.
Debian is know to give Stable platforms but their strict policies means they dont have the latest versions but the sure as hell do have the most stable versions. Which is why its better suited for servers and work stations.

Sorry mate. You know nothing. I dont wanna argue with you... May be I am wrong ok. If you dont understand the ability and the power of open sourse OS's thats you problem. But they really helped me throughout my studies in comp. Sci. for 6 years and another 4 years in the industry as well....

And coz of that I know the power of open source... Do you know what is virtual reality...???? They use more advanced graphic techniques than LCD monitors... But open source works perfectly but windows does nt... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now, I didn't say anything about Linux in general. I said Ubuntu feisty burns the DVI port of the LCD monitors. Period!

Linux may support all those things that you say they do, but when it comes to general home use, it can't match Windows. That's what really matters to me. Not Virtual reality or something that we don't use at present in the home environment.

How am I supposed to know that? I'm sure it's not a problem with Linux. Some other screwup in Ubuntu Feisty.

Ubuntu is far more superior than vista with its speed.security,and free packages for any type of work.Although linux seems a bit behind Windows with its GUI,it is not as it seems.Because if u wanna use a better GUI u can dwnload Enlightenment which is being developed(but available).TRY IT!

There is solutions for anything for UBUNTU FOR FREE! It help a user to observe its capabilities

It Seems a lot contradictory to my my experiences.Ubuntu is the best considering its help towards the usability and i think fedora takes 2nd with its packages.

That's no answer. The Linux foundation has to answer them and settle things legally. If not, it's no better than pirating Microsoft software like most of us do.

Welcome to the FOSS family

[The_Ace]

seriously, if you guys want to try linux out, Try an easy to use distro like PCLinuxOS or Mandriva where almost everything works out of the box without having to mess with the configs.

[blackroses]

mandriva ?????

[ICE]

mandriva ?????
yaa

formally Mandrake Linux

now Mandriva linux

RPM based.should be easy for new users....

It was for me those days....... :lol: :lol:

[SSD]

Fedora is also great for the begginers with ita packages

However what do u think about da best linux based OS?

[SSD]

I think UBUNTU!

[gayannr]

just for a stupid OS (especially Linux!)
