i love ubuntu, i murdered out my colors and made my bars semi transparent, its awesome, and the tux is my copilot background rules, i love that little linux penguin
I installed ubuntu on my old desktop. When i try to set up visual effects, it tells me to enable my graphics card, but it says something like 'nvidia - glx is not enabled' is there any way to fix this?
Yeah, it runs on my 5-year old IBM NetVista 6341-75G... and your Vaio laptop is a great system to run Ubuntu on. Ubuntu will be that speedy you wish you kicked off Windows years ago!
Well, actually not. My eight-year old Compaq Presario 1260 (yes, it's a laptop with 64KB RAM and a 4GB hard disk) can run XP, but cannot run any version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu).
Hmm, that's interesting. First I have no idea how you got xp running on a machine with 64kb of ram. But second, on every computer I know of Ubuntu uses less system resources than xp. So what prevents it from running on your computer?
Second, I don't know why any distribution of Ubuntu doesn't works with my lappy. Maybe because it's an old architecture and an AMD-processor. But when I download the AMD-version it still doesn't runs. Why? I don't know either...
Even with 64 megs of ram I don't know how you'd get xp running.
It probably is some sort of architecture limitation. I.e. not because you don't meet system requirements but because ubuntu can't understand your computer or something like that.
It could be, yeah. But, the minimum of RAM for Windows XP Home Edition is only 64MB, so that's just enough. But how is it possible then that Windows can run on this system but Ubuntu doesn't understands the system??
Looks like if you want to run graphical ubuntu you need more base ram. So I guess ubuntu requires more minimum but then knows how to use that minimum better than XP?
I had an IBM ThinkPad T20 and no version of Ubuntu would install on that either, and that could run XP fine. It had 128MB RAM, 699MHZ Intel Pentium III Processor, 80GB Hard Drive and I had no luck...
Can any one HELP me, I have a problem with my ubuntu 9.04, When it boots up the login sound gets stuck in a loop and never stops. Any help?

I have no idea if this runs on a ps3.
My machine is a dual-core Vaio vgn-sz3 with 2gb ram but I'm fairly sure it runs on lower spec machines as well.

More precisely, if you can run xp you can definitely run ubuntu (and save yourself some ram (and hard drive space if you don't dual boot)).

Sorry, I mean 64MB RAM...

I guess so. I don't know why, but don't really care anyway; I have Ubuntu running anyway on my IBM ;)

u need alternative xubuntu disk, because u cant run it from live cd because your pc havent got enough ram and bios dont supports acpi.

That's not true, actually... the alternative xubuntu disk doesn't works either...
