I'm trying to install ubuntu linux, and when it gets to the point where it's the first time I log on, it tries to start x server without success. I get an error:
It gives me the option to check the log, and when i scroll to the bottom of it this is what i see:
To make matters worse, i can't get root access! The installation never prompted me for a root password (maybe that part of the installation happens after x is started). When i enter su command it asks for root password, and i tried using the same password as the account i created, and a blank password, but it won't work. This makes in almost impossible to do anything at all.
Here is my list of hardware:
athlon64 3000
dfi lanparty nf4 ultra-d
1gb corsair value ram
ati x800xl pci-e
audigy 2zs
hauppauge tv tuner
hitachi cml174 lcd monitor
I'm using the amd64 version of ubuntu 5.10. Can anyone help?
