HOW TO INSTALL UBUNTU STUDIO 9.10 WITHOUT HAVING THE INSTALL #%$&%# FAIL!:

The puppy download links are working now, file was still uploading I think when you checked. I am having more luck with the iso labeled 1.9 (which is 2.0) than with 2.1 at the moment, but hopefully the issue (firewire audio) will be resolved quickly.

Indeed they are. :) I've just downloaded and successfully md5sum'd both versions of UbuntuStudioPE-2.1.

Since the larger of the two weighs in at a mere 450 MB, either one will fit comfortably on a CD-RW that one may have laying about.

'Next step? Vetting via VirtualBox.

If I read the info on Puppy correctly, it should run nicely off a USB drive, which would eliminate some of the weirdness that can happen when using a VM.
If it wasn't for the fact that I am quite frankly terrified of the concept that one bad file (which is highly likely to be flawed in some fashion, just a question of how severely) could cause my fans to never turn on, I would put Puppy on a USB and see how it works.
If someone could write a utility that walks through the necessary steps to correct that file, it would go a long way towards making people like me feel more comfortable about trying Linux. Not to forget that it would make the process a lot safer for those who may be unaware of the danger.
Maybe the install routines could ask if you have a file that is specific to your machine and where to find it or if the answer is no, start the utility to make one. This appears to be a known issue among the Linux cognoscenti: surely someone can come up with a way to deal with it.

If you were to Google the make & model # of your PC, DSDT File, Linux you could find out if anyone else has had trouble with that PC's hardware not functioning properly under GNU/Linux.

BTW. I use Hardware Sensors Monitor (in Synaptic Package Manager: lm-sensors and sensors-applet) which provides temperature readouts in the lower Gnome panel for the cpu, graphics chip, and hard drive etc (what is displayed varies from one PC type to another).

As well I watch and listen for abnormal behaviour when first using a machine which is strange to me.

I also drag the System Monitor applet to the upper Gnome panel in order to observe: cpu, memory, hard drive, and swap partition usage along with system load and network activity.

"Yeah!! .. Finally a fix for my laptop's lack of full Intel Graphics 3D acceleration . ( Lucid on an HP dv6000e laptop with the 2.6.35-15 kernel )."

"After a long time waiting the most interesting update of the Intel drivers for linux is now a fact. We can now have this great hardware acceleration for playing h.264 video. Or in other words we now have Hardware acceleration for HD content with our Intel video cards. As an owner of U400-138 with Intel 4500 MHD I have been waiting for this over a year but now I can play 720p without an issue. And so here is how to install this..."

If you're thinking of getting a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] FireWire audio interface for use with Ubuntu Studio, please don't--for now. It's not yet properly supported by FFADO.

Here's a thread on this issue:

[ubuntu_studio] lucid - tc electronic konnekt 6 via expresscard - issues

However, something interesting has surfaced in said thread: it seems that the 4-pin, JMicron-controlled FireWire port in the HP Pavilion dv7-1070ed Entertainment Notebook PC works for audio--at least with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 10 I/O.

Please read AutoStatic's posts from post #14 onwards for more details.
