BigglesPiP - if you upgraded then you are still on the old GRUB. You need to do a..

sudo apt-get install grub2

then reboot to test

then a..

sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy

.. all worked ok for me

Yea, gathered that, can the new GRUB work with /boot inside LVM?

Also, damn sound driver, won't remember volume between sessions.

Woah, WINE seems to have improved a lot.

Have you tried typing alsactl store in the shell?

Ps. I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10, last time I tried Ubuntu was with 8.04 which I thought incredibly slow; this new version is total opposite - quite like it.

skippi90, what theme is that you've got installed?

The dock is AWN and the theme is Shizi Colours or something like that. Can't remember the exact name but downloaded from Gnome Look.

2 things and I would make a permanent switch to Ubuntu.

1. Adobe programs - Photoshop, Flash etc.
2. Football Manager and Steam

If I could use these on Ubuntu, Windows would be dead to me.

yep I second that I'm still thinking of a way to play football manager.

The closest I have got is using a virtual machine which has windows 7 installed on it.

But just how can that be achieved?

I liked the RC, but still not as quick as Arch linux, but took 30 mins install compared to 4 hours of arch and pain of setting up wireless

catch 22.....

I think wine allows photoshop and steam to work well.

FM2010, not to sure on, but can't see why not.

Try it to find out?

well I've got virtual box installed
also got windows 7 installed

I don't know how I can get virtual box to see my real dvd drive
or

I don't know how I can get virtual box and daemon tools to work alongside each other so that I can mount my ISO from my real pc

any ideas?

manic111 · 2 Nov 2009 at 11:33

Anyone running this on an EeePC yet?

How is it compared to 9.04 speedwise? I liked 9.04, was nice and nippy.

I have only got steam working before, for steam your can just use the steaminstaller.exe from the internet and not use the Half-Life 2 CD.

I ain't got time to look into FM2010 just yet, got an assignment to write up today!

What till .walls posts in here I think he has steam working well using wine, he probably can help with photoshop as well.

I tried to make the switch over the weekend, Skype was playing up a bit, saying I had multiple instances running, tres odd. But upon rebooting, I was faced with a gnome power management error, which prevented me from logging on? I was confused as hell, tried googling it and found nothing. Luckily, I hadn't done much with it apart from setup WoW and install Skype\Pidgin and ATI drivers.

Fm2010 works using wine, just set it up and go.

I think I've mended it.

Chmoded /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
Then did alsactl store

If it still doesn't go, I shall add alsactl restore to /etc/rc.local
