I add some more informations: this bug has certainly something to do with radeon driver. In fact, I have just been able to get the correct fonts by changing the driver with the proprietay one fglrx. This has been not simple, the steps I have made are the following: - first I started with the installation I have done with the alternate cd; - then I get to a console (ctrl+alt+F1) - then I have used aptitude to download and install fglrx video driver (remember that i couldn't do using kde hardware driver manager since I couldn't use the desktop!) - I tried to use the command 'aticonfig --initial' to create a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but it failed since there was no Driver line in the video device section; - I added the line 'Driver "fglrx" and I restarted x server; - the screen flashed a while, and then it became black; I have been forced to make a reboot with ctrl+alt+canc since I couldn't get to the console anymore - in the reboot process, I selected the single user mode so that the x server didn't start; - I checked the /var/log/Xorg.log and I saw that the problem was related to depth (8) not supported by the fglrx driver, so I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I have added a line with "Defaultdepth 24" in Section "Screen", and I finally could get the desktop working.
I am an experienced linux user, and so I could solve this problem, but what would have a new user done? If you really want to fix bug number 1, these installation problems should really not be present. -- Huge fonts in Kubuntu 8.04 live cd make impossible to install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224262 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
