Brink, is there a reason to prefer the 64-bit Ubuntu over 32-bit if you only have 2 or 3GB RAM to allocate to it?
Using 10.10 32-bit installed in VirtualBox w/ 2.5GB of mem allocated to it. Seems kinda slow though (the host is a MacBook Core i5 2.53GHz w/ 8GB physical memory). thanks for any tips, -jeff |

If you have over 4GB ram you have a couple of options. 1 Download/install ubuntu 10.10 64 bit or try option #2 on http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ Hope this helps |

No but it was working like a dream as soon as i loaded it it's not working now though. I'm using on board network i have a GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 1.0) motherboard. If i need a driver i'll need to be guided on how to install it. thanks

Based on the totally unidentified "stable" environment that CEP2 will work in, I'm going to refrain from changing anything at all to my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install, kernel 2.6.32.25 on ext4 filesystem and advanced graphics features of interface switch off (GNOME) and continue to crunch this science on 2 of 4 cores (manual managed). To follow the other thread, hopeful that test of Debian by RaymondFO will turn out positively.

I tride sudo ifup eth0 it came back with Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. Thanks I don't know if its available on vmware player but I have that on vmware workstation. Anyways, If you can't find it and you got green on the network icon, maybe after the upgrade the vm network driver got lost. Try re-installing the driver. Or you can read this KB from vmware Vm player is so limited, why not download the vm server? its free - just have to register to download. |
