Ubuntu 8.10 on HP G60-120US
I finally got Ubuntu 8.10 running properly on my HP G60. My previous attempt was successful if it weren’t for the fact that Ubuntu didn’t like the nVidia graphics chipset. The system basicall ran un-accelerated, meaning it was a dog when it came to GUI updates.
After Googling for a fix, I found someon’s blog that had the simplest solution to this.
Open a terminal window and execute the following, then restart:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
Once restarted, enable the NVidia driver (177)… and all will be happy in Ubuntu land.
Let me know if this helps!
