smack my knowledge and call me a pig...

I'm working with Ubuntu Edgy on my PC...


Things I wanna do:


GET MY INTERNET UP!!
Beryl
Get my 250GB Slave to show up so I can use my music
Get my RAID-0 to work with it


Working on more...

but big thing for right now.... does anyone know where i can get the drivers for my LAN on my DS3?

 

working with Kubuntu now...

new list:
Beryl
Get 250GB HDD to appear
RAID-0 to work

 

You did not leave complete instructions.

What do you mean "Get my internet up?"
Are you on Ethernet- it should have already connected.

Beryl installs different for ATI and NVIDIA cards in Ubuntu.

Is the 250 a secondary drive. Is Windows on the drive as the primary partition or is Linux.

Did you post this from the Live cd?

 

Nope. Using it installed... I was posting from my other rig.


I couldnt connect with Ubuntu, but it came connected with Kubuntu...
problem solved.

problem 2: I have an ATI Card.

problem 3: its a secondary drive in NTFS with no windows installed on it. I always used my raptors for OS installs

 

From the Beryl Wiki

Instead of gksudo you will need to use kdesu

I had Edgy for 7 months and have moved on to Feisty. I have Beryl running. :major

 

yeah, I'm using that now.... thanks for the tip

This is probably the wacom wireless or the tablet drivers causing errors in xorg. If you have seen Beryl did install you can ignore this for now. To repair, you have to edit the xorg config files.

Back to problem 3.

Are you simply wanting to mount a virtual drive or is this a secondary physical drive?

Open a Terminal and post what you find with
fdisk -l and cat /etc/fstab

 

Here is my fdisk -l results.
/dev/sda is the WinXP 20 Gig drive that was stock in my Dell. /sdb is the 160 Drive now my primary.

You have to install Linux first, then windows for a dual system. See the sticky at the top of the Linux Forum.

I don't care for a dual boot as I'll just run Windows virtually within the linux... I have all of my music and videos on the drive but I don't know how to access the drive in Linux...

I'm switching to Sabayon as I heard it comes with beryl installed plus it's "better" and Adryn recommends it

 

Ok, when you want to learn how to enable your drives, ask him.
You asked about enabled drives in Kubuntu- my layer of expertise currently.
