Hello! This is my first post about Ubuntu so please be nice! :-) I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 (desktop & netbook) for quite some time now with little to no issues with the user functionality. Last night I saw the release candidate for 10.10 and did a few back flips lol, very excited to see this rolling out. I installed the desktop version on a new Dell Vostro 1710 and its running pretty smoothly. Now for the Netbook I ran into the issue stated above.
Here's my bug/issue: After the install of Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 (which ran with zero problems) I got to the login screen, I selected Ubuntu Netbook Edition and logged in. Once I do the error "No required driver detected for unity. (you will need to choose the Ubuntu Desktop session once you select your user name)". I press ok and of course it logs in just fine to the Ubuntu Desktop. But as seeing this is an old laptop and I installed this netbook version solely for the easy user interface, I'm rather sad this doesn't work. (I have attached my laptop specs) Will unity not support older graphic cards? I used the netbook version 10.04 on here and it ran with zero issues. I think that we should be able to use Unity without all the fancy 3d settings. I install ubuntu netbook on quite a bit of older laptops because it runs so smoothly and is super simple to use. I'm not sure if i missed a fix, or if there is a place I can go to get this fixed but any additional info on it would be great. Thanks a million in advance and keep up the good work, there are many people i'm slowing converting to Ubuntu so we can.. for once.. live in a windozz free world. ** Attachment added: "hardinfo_report.html" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/614088/+attachment/1660755/+files/hardinfo_report.html -- unity should give an error to the user when not supported by the driver/graphic card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614088 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
