Ubuntu Professional Required

[Sher]

Hello All,

I am willing to pay upto USD100 to anyone who can sort out my Ubuntu related issues. Two of the basic issues I have for now are:


I have installed Ubuntu 11.10

1) Installing graphics card drivers for my AMD HD5970 x 2. When i install the drivers and restart the computer, it hangs on startup screen.

2) create vnc server with tightvnc and a viewer as well.

I am very new to Ubuntu and would appreciate anyone who would be able to guide me with the basics.

PM me if you can solve the problem.


Regards,

Sher

System > Preferences > Remote Desktop Preferences

You can enable VNC via that panel, it's kind of misleading since it doesn't really use RDP.

Most likely an xorg.conf issue with your video.

If you are on a 64-bit system, make sure you are installing the 64-bit drivers: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English

Alternatively, you can use the auto-detect tool. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx

If you want me to install tightvnc into your system, pm me and we can setup a time for me to run you through the steps. No money required. Best of luck
