I reinstalled Windows and Ubuntu 9.10 creating a dual partition on my
hard drive. Went into Ubuntu 9.10 and installed updates. Then installed
restricted extras. Upgraded to 10.04 release candidate. Photo attached
is a list of boot options. Highlighted option in photo is the only
option that has not given me problems other than running only in low
graphics mode. Boot option on top of list worked after first going into
highlighted option and then restarting computer, but only in low
graphics mode and no ability to connect to my wireless router. Restarted
computer, went to highlighted option and opened System > Preferences >
Monitors. Got message "It appears that your graphics driver does not
support the necessary extensions to use this tool.  Do you want to use
your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?." Clicked yes. Got message
"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X
configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the
X server." Did a google search using message and found a command on
Ubuntu forums "sudo nvidia-xconfig and then ctrl+alt+backspace to reset
X." Did so, restarted computer, went back into boot options and picked
top option. Graphics now worked and got online okay, but after 3 minutes
the computer and router disconnected from each other and I kept getting
a window asking me to enter the keycode for the router. I kept retrying
and quit after the third attempt. Restarted computer, went back to top
of boot options, again graphics worked but still could not connect to
router. Turned off computer, restarted router, turned on computer, went
back to same option, did not make a difference. 10.04 with low graphics
will work great if I keep using the highlighted option as shown in
attached photo. Graphics work great for boot option at top of list but
cannot connect online. Hope this helps some more.
