hello, I am shradha, I am a new member on this list. Krishnakant Mane introduced me to this list as well as ubuntu linux. right now I am trying to setup yahoo messenger as Krishnakant may have already informed. by the way there is a strange thing I noticed while installing ubuntu 6.06. my net connection was on and the setup was checking the internet for packages. but with my 64 k cable connection on, and the setup completed, when I re booted my machine, I did not get x up and running with gnome. it came to the command line. next, I re installed the system and that time I on purpose switched off the modem. this time the setup was proper and I got gnome desktop up and running. what could be the problem? regards. shradha.

maybe you didnt set it to boot in graphics mode the first time. If you had logged in at the command line and typed 'startx' at the prompt, you would have got X.

In your bios see if you can increase the shared RAM for video. Test your system before and after by alternating between Ctrl+Alt+F1 and F7. It should have a smooth transition everytime.
next, I re installed the system and that time I on purpose switched off the modem. this time the setup was proper and I got gnome desktop up and running. what could be the problem?
