I'm having Ubuntu issues. Can anyone help?

So i decided to load Ubuntu 11.04 onto my old computer, and the screen is messing up. Can't see, and it's odd. The "try ubuntu" option on the live cd I burned did the same thing. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

What distro would you suggest that keeps a similar look to Ubuntu?

use xubuntu or kubuntu

Could it have just been an error in writing the live cd?

i don't really think that's the case, what have you got to lose if you try other live cds?

It looks to me like an issue with the default graphics driver loaded at start-up. There used to be a lot of problems with both Ubuntu and Mint - I can't remember the exact details though.
If you want something that looks like Ubuntu but is better then try LinuxMint
It is based on Ubuntu, but looks better, and the support is second-to-none.

I had almost the opposite problem i guess. I was just trying out ubuntu 12.04 and found it was laggy and annoying probably due to a single core cpu. I had come across linux mint a nd liked the look of it and new it might be easier on processes. It turns out the look of mint is the cinnamon desktop and can be used in ubuntu which i tried.
My problem was when i logged into cinnamon there was no wallpaper, no useable icons visible except power (to logout) when i did manage to open a window or program there was nothing in the window to see except the shadow around that window.
I am a determined noob though- so i dumped ubuntu and loaded a full mint install and ended up in the same spot. grrrr.
it was like when a web page is not quite loaded, you can see where things will or should be but not everything and its not quite useable.
I am a determined noob though impatient.
Ubuntu it is now!
It is a bit snappier after some use - like it had to learn my commonly used programs or something and now likes me more.
longish post i know -sorry!

[Q] Is there any way to port HoneyComb or CM6 for our Galaxy Exhibit?

I think it could be possible if we get the source, and compile it with smartguy's kernal, we could get a build up and running, or maybe a version of CM6, just saying, I'm a fan of it and honeycomb eventhough it's slow.

Not likely, I don't think there is enough people that would use it.... Sorry

I knew that from the beginning, that's why I was asking. What about CM6? I know Tim is working on it for me, because I asked him if he could.

No answer? I just like it and I have never tested either on the Exhibit, and I figured if I asked someone about it I would get an answer.

There was no separate honeycomb source. It was merged into ICS source with comments. Honeycomb was tablet only ui. ICS combined tablet and phone ui. If you want
to try native tablet ui (not just launcher) try pacman rom. It has tablet ui for gapps.
Cm 6 was based on froyo and has less features than gingerbread. Ginger bread improved android a lot and made it modern and compititive mobile os. It improved memory management and newer apis. That is why many applications are 2.3 + Please Google if you want more details.
Windows phone is closed source os and legally requires license run on phone. That is why you will not see ports here on xda on non windows phone. On the other hand android being open source can you run on windows phone e.g. HTC HD 2.
Assuming you have been here for while and seeing your posts on porting and building from source I can only hope that op wasn't for trolling.

That explains alot.

If you like the look of Froyo, you could install the cm7 port i saw somewhere around here, and install this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014773 apparently it makes cm7 look just like Froyo.
Here's a Honeycomb theme for cm7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423

Theres no point of actually running froyo on honeycomb, just use a theme

Froyo just seems worthless sorry but it just does. Honeycomb actually could be possible. Honeycomb did have a phone ui. But who would actually go through all the effort?

How exactly do you plan to port it????? There's no source, it was merged to ICS, there is no "honeycomb branch" you could try and port, but our phone has a 480x800 screen, no honeycomb device had this low of a resolution

[Q] Windows 8 on tegra 3 system

Hi,
We need to port windows 8 to Lg optimus x4 HD, someone working on that ???? Let's begin ???
Thanks
Alex

we have to wait for unlocked bootloader with JB, without that we won't do anything man.
and windows 8 phone is bullsh*t imo, it's better to port Ubuntu OS for example

You can't even think to port Windows on there.... (and leave apart that it would be FUGLY).
WP8 is based on the NT kernel, the same kernel that Windows (the PC version) is using.. and it is totally closedsource.
The previous PocketPC/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone versions were using the Windows CE kernel that was shared-source.
No way. At all.

Windows Surface runs on a tegra 3 so it might be possible? That would be a nice addition but I think we would be better off trying to get Ubuntu mobile on our O4Xs first!

Factory cable
Maybe with the lg factory cable we can format, the problem is to program the phone to run like a computer bios...

Perhaps you don't get that the kernel needs to initialize the board and that if you haven't got its source you can't implement your board-specific initialization.

I think Android I such a customizable system so if you want to have the style of windows 8 or ubuntu so get it! For some functions of other systems there are apps or roms which have or add these features (for example ubunto sidebar app) and yes I know that it's not the same like a whole mobile system but it's a little bit more windows or ubuntu for them who wants this

uh... well (from softpedia)
"Owners of unlocked Google Nexus 4 smartphones out there can now get a taste of a new Linux OS for their devices, as a Fedora 19 installer is now available for download for them.
The software enables them to easily install Fedora 19 for ARM on this Google phone, though it should be noted that this is not an official Fedora Linux project.
As phoronix notes, the installer comes from Rob Clark, who has been working on enriching the Freedreno Gallium3D graphics driver, and who used the Qualcomm A320 graphics in Nexus 4 for that.
The Fedora 19 installer that he wrote in the process is now available for download on GitHub as freedreno/nexus4-fedora, but might not receive support moving forth.
For enthusiasts, however, it might prove an interesting software to take for a spin on a Nexus 4, that’s for sure."
So, if you know Ubuntu touch preview - you know what this is

This is really interesting. I'm a long term Fedora user, and I've just bought a Nexus 4 with the intent of installing cyanmod on it. But for various reasons I would like to run a full Linux distro.
So my first question is this: Is there a phone app and a sms app available for any Linux distro? The closest thing I could find is gnokii, but it isn't for on the phone its self (at least that is my understanding). Would I have to write the phone app myself?
My second question is: Does it run well? (I mean Fedora on the Nexus 4) Or do need to find that out myself?
Thank you,
Christopher
PS. I've been searching the internet all day to try and answer these questions.

From what I gather from reading the README on github. This is NOT a ROM (not even close). This is absolutely not something to use instead of cyanogenmod, stock android, etc. And although I don't know positively (have not googled), I would guess no, there is not a phone or sms app for a desktop that is going to work. Not to mention how many other key components needed to make this a working android substitute.
What it is, is a kernel (a Fedora based kernel instead of an Android kernel). And you don't even flash the kernel... you load it and run it temporarily through adb. And then the installer will download and run an x11 display server (instead of the android surface_flinger server), and a Gnome desktop and other parts of Fedora.
It's not something that's ready for use as a phone OS. Far from it. It is just the beginnings of a start (though mad props are in order).
If you've tried the latest Ubuntu touch preview... and seen all of what's NOT ready in that project... then understand that this Fedora project is not even close to that stage of development yet.

Hi,
has anyone tried it recently?
It did not boot for me and got stuck at the "Google" logo.
ADB was working, but without wifi it is useless.

okay so my understanding is android is pretty much an arm distribution of linux with an emulated interface/virtual machine/ cute green
little robot mascot thing running riot all over it.
that said, i've used some cross-compile stuff before and it works well enough.
the file system IS there so theoretically we should be able to linux up even more under the hood
without losing the paint-job , right?
personally i didn't like ubuntu touch and the whole vnc thing is wildly annoying
maybe adroid is a little weak in ways it really shouldn't be but it does have a sweet usable interface meant for
these devices.
alternately you could find an officially labled arm-linux distro break out a scalpel and get to work.

Uhm, kind of.... You will have to have some sort of ROM running, unless you built it yourself... Ubuntu touch is available but its gonna have to be ported to this phone, cyanogenmod is about the closest thing you get to native Android. Sense is just a skin that HTC uses just as Touchwiz is a skin for Samsung. You can remove all Sense from the phone and run native Android, which is built off of Linux but not a part of Linux per say...

elaborate on Uhm, kind of... I'd like to know what you see.
Where i'm at with the thought is at the kernel for starters, it is linux kernel right ?
meaning if you put a hat on a pig the pig is still a pig
and as far as the vnc trip i'vd pull stuff out of the experiments ann then messed with them
some things worked, some things with linker error, and of course permission denied
there's a barrier between android/linux but i think it's flimsy
i had one succes with cross compiling something one time from a tutorial
so my thought was if i get a handle on the dependencies for any small linux program
cross compile it for arm and get it to work then i'm not entirely off
yes, no maybe ?

In a sense Android works the same as a Ubuntu. It's just that Android has it's own build. It's like having a Kubuntu compared to Ubuntu compared to Windows.... Android has instead of .exe it has .apk and .jar it's basically a Java program with its own code built into it Smali... Yes it was compiled and built on a Linux but no one ever said that it was was running Linux through its blood. Yes with ARM you get more Linux capability, but it still lacks... You can change the boot of a pc from Windows to Ubuntu , but things May be broken.... Like I said you'd have to tinker with it all... There are limitations though you just gotta find them...
