List of Hardware and Other Issues!

[charbelfa]

FIRST PROBLEM: When I installed gOS 3.0, i went to administration-->
Hardware Drivers...
I downloaded the VGA Driver which is Nvidia 7300 Geforce GS...but
sadly after rebooting the PC no effects took place...it's like the
software is telling me installed correctly but there aren't any
effects on the driver's side!

2) MY PC COntains 2 HDD: Samsung 160 GB on which Windows vista is
installed
and the other 80 GB on which I installed gOS!..sadly after installing
gOS! I can't access VISTA!!! from the dual boot!:@ What went wrong! Im
sure i installed the boot software and everything! but windows vista
doesn't appear in the boot selection for all i see is ubuntu 8.04 and
its settings options. And that happened before when i tried to install
ubuntu 8.04 and another time gOS 2.9! but before it used to work
correctly with ubuntu 7.10 ! It's like after installing ubuntu 8.04
for the first time this started happening!

3) I Can't Seem to be able to right click on the desktop Background
and that took place after I've Restarted my PC but be4 that i tried to
change the desktop background ..now the background is gray and i can't
seem to right click

4)YouTube is not working when i press it in the IBar

5)What about the Update manager!!! I can't seem to find it anywhere! :
(

Those are the current bugs i've found so far! Will update you on the
latest!

Since you started this I hope that you do not mind me adding my issues
to this. My problem is that they include Synaptic and when you
actually use it to update the system just doing an update it adds the
gnome bars and screws up gos. Of course when you use dreamlinux this
same thing happens. They need some thing to use just to update their
os and nothing more. I will not have to reload the os because of
this.

There is a way in Debian (on which GOS & Ubuntu are based) to freeze/
keep a particular package at the current version so when you do an
upgrade it will not install a newer version. See my thread on the
Toshiba to see what happened to mine and what I did to get the
complete "look" back. I noticed that GOS is fairly up-to-date, as
when I did an upgrade there were not that many packages that were
changed. Unfortunately, the gnome-panels, etc., was one of them.
If we had a list of specific things that needed to be kept, I will
post on what to do to prevent the OS from changing them

Want to lock in a particular version of program right?

In synaptic, find the program you want locked to a certain version.
Once you find it, highlight it. Then head up to synaptic's toolbar and
select package then lock version.

Hope that is what you meant...

[frank754]

Yes, and certain specific items should be locked like that, regarding
the look and feel of gOS, like gnome-panel & others. The the user can
feel free to apt-get upgrade and just the under-the-hood stuff will
get upgraded.
