From CD. I've tried all the CDs they have and it ain't working.

I managed to install it now, but for some reason my Network-card ain't working any more.

Remember, Linux is a bitch with wireless cards, if that's what you're using that is.

just broadcom cards really, intel, etc. cards usually work fine
If you're saying Atheros as well.. I'm gonna hang myself.. My wireless card is broadcom...
Meh, they're not too bad. I got my broadcom card working fine in Arch.

Haha, mine always works out of the box with any distro I use.
I wonder why that is.
Anyway, I got my Ubuntu 10.10 CD in the mail today. Now I feel like a bit of a cunt because I'm perfectly capable of downloading it myself. :frown:
I think Arch hates me
I was playing around getting OpenSUSE working with my home Active Directory last night.
I can log in perfectly fine, and this creates a new profile in the AD profiles path (\\ADSrv\ADUsers\%username%)
Is there any way to give linux access to the Windows profiles, or even use them? Short of mounting a network share on login, I have no access to documents saved during a Windows session.
I have one quick question: I am using virtual box with Ubuntu. Do I select install or try? I am worried I might do something dumb. I did create a "partition" with virtual box it is called "ubuntu.vdi" Do I install the OS there?

Everything you do with Ubuntu inside the VM, stays inside the VM. Feel free to install it there.
OK, thank you for the help.
Finally got arch installed on that laptop with no cd drive and no usb booting. picked up another laptop with pretty much the same specs but with a broken screen, installed it, swapped the hard drives.

Holy shit, nice feature. Thanks for the tip!
It's particularly useful for me since my touchpad is round and I always use it.

"ubuntu.vdi" is a virtual HDD used by VirtualBox. You can pick either options. If you pick try there's an option to install. You really want to install. When you install tell Ubuntu to use the whole disk. It's going to do it's own partitioning and it'll be fine

IIRC, there's also a setting to tell the driver that you touchpad is round and it'll make it work much better.

Just don't forget that the ubuntu.vdi takes up space as a file on YOUR harddrive. So when you install things into the Virtual Machine, the *.vdi file is going to expand (unless you didn't pick the "dynamic" type).
This is a great app if you are running on a laptop: [url]http://grano.la/[/url]
I am now a happy user of Arch
I finally successfully installed Arch with Gnome
Is there an in-depth guide of what everything in the config part of compiling a kernel does? I go through it all fairly confused since I have no idea what some of the things do.

The things you don't have a clue about, is probably things you shouldn't touch either. If there's something you need enabled in the kernel, you can search for it, or just look for it. If should really make sense to you, if there''s anything you need.
Looks like the problem is not minecraft. This is a java error the java VM crashed. Why? I'm not sure.
Try reinstalling Java. If that doesn't work then try switching from openjdk so oracle's jdk or the opposite. Depending on which one you use.
Actually it looks like it screwed up while trying to print out an error.
Also, according to the error you have an ATI card.

Looks like you are using the proprietary drivers. Try switching to the open source ones. It might help.
I think it's a major fuck up on the java VM side not minecraft.

So....uninstall the JDK from the software center?
And how do I get the open source ones?
I' not sure for ubuntu. It shoudl be something in the lines of:
[code]sudo apt-get install openjdk[/code]
It should simply replace Oracle's JDK/JRE.
[editline]22nd November 2010[/editline]
I'm not sure tho. Lemme check...
[editline]22nd November 2010[/editline]
[code]
openjdk-6-jdk (6b20-1.10~pre2-0ubuntu5)
OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK)
openjdk-6-jre (6b20-1.10~pre2-0ubuntu5)
OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT[/code]
so you need to run:
[code]sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre[/code]
Ummmm....
[code]Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
openjdk-6-jre is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.[/code]
So you're using openJDK. You need to install oracle's JRE.
Lemme find that for you.
[editline]22nd November 2010[/editline]
You have to enable the partner repository.
Here's a guide:

Gotta love the Open Source circle-jerking most big distros are participating in. There's no way Linux is going to to anywhere unless we stop giving proprietary software the finger.

Nope, still crashing. Should I run it through the terminal with the java -jar again and post the dump?
It's not Java's fault then. The package in itself is fine. It's something else. From the error, I see that the JRE is trying make a kernel call and it fails horribly.
If I look at the call stack I can see that it makes references to the kernel, your GPU drivers and a threading library. One of those failed catastrophically. Knowing the quality of ATI drivers I would assume it's that.

You might want to install the open source drivers.
I should remember to add the filesystem I'm using as root to the config file next time, or I'm just wasting my time.
