[ubuntu] Ubuntu interface

[mosaabJ]

Hello, I tried to configure my system so it supported 3D graphics and my graphics card is ATI driver and but then after restarting I faced a problem where when I enter Ubuntu it does not give the graphical interface to login it shows a text based interface where you login but I didn't know how to move to the graphical interface I tried a lot but I couldn't.

login using your username.

then try this:

gdm

if that doesn't do anything, make a note of the error. For kicks, try

startx

as well and see if it gives you the same error code.

if you still have the problem, do

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

pay attention to what it does, and if you are STILL having the problem, please tell us what errors you got, as well as a printout of

sudo lspci

please


PS: Could you also link the guide that you were using to set up your 3D drivers? It should have been as simple as going into the restricted drivers manager.

Thank you for the reply I've sorted out the problem, I am writing this from Ubuntu I found a problem in the file xorg.conf which I fixed, thank you again you was of a good help.

heh... writing an xorg.conf file can be a pain >.<

glad you got it sorted!

I won't be on for very much longer. Please copy your private messages to me into this thread if you still need help ^_^
(installing that pesky ATI x1600 driver)

Best regards MosaabJ There's an error when I do this Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.31-14-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro ATI cards are a pain :^| If the Restricted Drivers Manager isn't working for you, i suppose you could try this http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...9&lang=English download that and follow the instructions exactly. when the instructions get to "open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the driver" do this Open a terminal and use the cd command to change directories to where it's downloaded. SO if you downloaded it to your desktop then cd /home/yourusername/Desktop then execute their command sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run if you get permission denied do sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run if you STILL get permission denied do chmod +x ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run then try sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run again. I won't be on for very much longer. I hope this goes well for you ^_^

First I had to change

sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run

to

sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run

And then there's an error after doing that and the error is:

Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version
default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.31-14-generic; make sure that the version is being
correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
