Reinstalling PC

Now... where is that 'start' button in Ubuntu?

Oh boy lol, you repartitioned your entire hard drive and didn't keep your windows OS? Humm let me google it, I'm kind of a novice with Unix.

Google ftw....

I can't promise that you will hear from me before Monday, but I'm sure there are people on here that know how to update drivers for a particular graphics card, once you can provide that information for us.

You probably haven't read my other threads about the particular Windows OS I repartitioned, but it was completely broken. In fact, it was so broken, it wouldn't turn on. That was the whole point of me installing Ubuntu. If my Windows worked, I'd be on Windows.

If it wasn't on this thread, and I haven't responded to it, then no I haven't read it. From this particular thread I just thought that you had a corrupted Windows OS, and you needed to reinstall Windows. If that is the case, then don't you have the original CD that came with your computer? If that's not the case, and your reinstall CD is actually broken, as in physically, then it sucks to be you

JK

If your reinstall CD is physically broken and you need a new one you can call Microsoft and explain to them the situation and they should send you a new reinstall CD.

Did you find out what graphics card you have?


ps
I think I'm starting to get addicted to this site.....agggg

I did... look at my post count


I just come back home so I'll try to find out which graphics card.

No, it was an issue with Flash itself, not my system. My roommates at the time were having the same problems, and it was a known issue to Adobe.



This is not correct. UNIX and Linux are separate operating systems with separate kernels, and there are major differences. Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux, but it is not UNIX.

Now you're just getting technical, but I can go there....

To quote from Official Linux kernel README file:

Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX compliance.

It was originally made to be a light-weight, free version of UNIX by Linus(who was a broke student that couldn't afford UNIX), and it is based on the UNIX source code.

While Linux might be built from Unix, Ubuntu is build from Linux... wasn't it? That's what I got from these posts.

Yeap
