Also heard that Open office 3 has been released ??

Are you using Ubuntu now ?

offcourse ... did nt i say so before ?

Oh! Didn't noticed that. So everything OK now.

Did you installed sound card in Ubuntu ? Then maybe you can help me with something. I couldn't install sound card in Ubuntu.

Ok .... i ll help you when i complete my install ..... i too need to install drivers for my 5.1 creative speakers in Ubuntu

I don't think, that will be any problem. My problem is that I don't know the model number of my Sound Card. It's an 'Enter' sound card with creative chip. I tried everything I can to make it work. Now I am using in-built sound card. But it have compatibility issues with my Mic.

LL boot from linux wait

I am also in Ubuntu now.

One more problem .......

Nvidia Accelarated graphic driver version 177 is nt getting installed ???

It tries to download the package and then quits at 0%

I manually downloaded a 32 bit driver from nvidia site which does nt get installed

Any ideas ??

I had to try 2-3 times before the display driver installed.

Oh! I tried 2 times should i keep trying until it installs then

Try this. Right Click desktop and select change background option. And got to the effects tab. Then select normal or the other option. You will be asked to install driver.
