I’ve installed a new graphics card, plus I installed Vista Business in my old hard drive. Thank goodness I got Vista for free due to my college’s special arrangement with MSDN’s academy program. I would not pay up for Vista, especially when my desktop box is not “optimized enough” for Vista Aero.
Anyway, when I booted up to Ubuntu, the Xorg.conf did not load up properly and I have a command line interface screen. What should the Carol do?
It turns out that because I have added my new graphics card that Xorg freaked out. I just have to reconfigure the settings. Here’s how:
You log in at the command line interface and you are at the prompt. Type in this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
You will have to enter the superuser password before you can configure. Follow the instructions, and reboot. I was successful…but YMMV in your situation.
