Ok, thanks I will try searching the forums to see if anyone is having
similar problem w/ fan. Also, While booting I'm not going directly into
login screen after selecting the Ubuntu Partition on my dual boot system. It
takes me to a command prompt and I have to enter Linux nosplash and hit
enter and then it takes me to login screen. Any work around that? I found on
a forum that I should go to terminal and enter the following command:
- sudo nano /etc/yaboot/conf
and replace append"=quiet splash" with append"=video=ofonly nosplash"
Here's the catch: when I enter sudo nano /etc/yaboot/conf it opens a window,
but its blank where is all the script? I'm clueless. I will not give up on
this!
Thanks for your help!!
