Installed Ubuntu 8.04 on an i7 intel, but resulting screen resolution cannot be increased beyond 800x600 (sometimes only 640x480). Am using a 17" LCD panel with 1280x1024 native resolution. 800x600 is just unacceptable. Have Googled problem and spent an entire day on this to no avail. Video card is Nvidia Geforce2. Have tried all drivers mentioned in posts: nvidia, nv, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy. No change, resolutions above 800x600 do not appear in Screen Resolution list.

I'm trying to rip a Disney movie for my sister, but the terminal is saying libdvdcss2 cannot decrypt it. Any ideas? Thanks! P.S. Does anyone know where the shell scripts and .conf files are on the site (the webmaster promised them)? And where are the video files too?

Most of us are aware of Fedora 13, and since I've been away from the Linux scene for a while this distro is a good opportunity for me to get back into the swing of things and also spark up some conversation among the users here. I'd like to know what your thoughts are about Fedora 13 and how it has http://LinuxIntro.com/?a=UFMS_Topic_Display&id=108933001274849330&t=It%27s_here._Fedora_13_that_is.As you all may know, in Fedora 11, they so kindly took out the infamous Ctrl+Alt+Backspace keyboard shortcut to kill the X Server and bring you back to the login manager. Maybe I just figured this out while flipping through some settings and it was already known, but I've found that they still have the keyboard shortcut as an option. Under System->Preferences->Keyboard, go to the "Layouts" tab and click on "Layout Options...". There you will find a list of drop-down menus, one of which says "Key sequencehttp://LinuxIntro.com/?a=UFMS_Topic_Display&id=842374001256973849&t=Ctrl%2BAlt%2BBackspace_to_Kill_the_X_Server_in_Fedora_11Hey, I just got the fedora working on my comp, the wired network is plugget in, and the lights are flashing. But I cannot connect to the internet? It only states " No internet connection" I guess it might have something to do with the drivers, because I have not installet any for this card. With a windows I would probably handle it on my own, but now that I gone ower to linux, i have problems getting the drivers from the net, and installing them. I already tryed out ubuntu on the comp, and it had no http://LinuxIntro.com/?a=UFMS_Topic_Display&id=890294001244613152&t=What_to_do_when_youre_wired_cable_doesn%27t_work%3FOk, so I decided to test out Debian a while ago because I have never used it before. I've tried out Debian based distributions but you'd think that a guy who's been exposed to Linux for almost three years would have at least tried out Debian itself eh? Well I installed it with no problem, but when I got to the login screen Xorg couldn't find any screens...why? I have no idea. I tried countless times to configure the Xorg but to no avail...granted I did this with an old Dell Dimension 2400, Pentium IV proceshttp://LinuxIntro.com/?a=UFMS_Topic_Display&id=7865001227466806&t=Debian_dislikes_my_computer_it_seems...So...in two days we will have Fedora 10. My first encounter with Fedora 9 didn't go so well compared to my first encounter with Fedora 8. I know Fedora is all about being on the bleeding edge front, but Fedora 9 was seriously buggy IMO (until months later) compared to Fedora 8 which almost smooth sailing for me. I'm hoping Fedora 10 will stay true to its policies but not turn out as radical as Fedora 9 did...we'll see in two days though. In any case, are you all ready for a new Fedora release?

I decided to make this one topic since I didn't want readers going to and fro different topics to look at each individual PC part/component. Alex, if I broke any rules I apologize.

If your Mac is older than that, go with the PPC ISO. Picking the right ISO for your computer setup (processor architecture) is important because Linux will need to know what kind of processor it's working with before it can start to do anything.http://LinuxIntro.com/?a=UFMS_Topic_Display&id=579438001224508848&t=Picking_a_Linux_Distribution_for_MacsJust PM me for Details.http://LinuxIntro.com/?a=UFMS_Topic_Display&id=161487001224467178&t=1990_Ford_FestivaThis video was so freakin stupid that i was getting ready to shut it off, and right when i went to close it, i heard something that made it all worth wile!
