- | This story begins at the beginning of 2010. I was broke at the time, so I was trying to find a free operating system. I needed something that could run on my PCs at home. I had searched on the Internet, but found nothing useful for a long time. But one day I was at Barnes and Noble, and I saw a magazine for Linux. Although I had heard of Linux before, I never thought of it as something I would ever be able to use.

When I read the magazine, I became exposed to Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala. It sounded so good, as if it was exactly what I was looking for. As a result, I got very excited, took it home, and to my surprise had such an easy time installing it to my PC that I decided to run it along with Windows XP as a dual boot system. All I did was put the live CD in the drive and the instructions were step-by-step—you would have to be pretty slow to not understand how to set things up. | When I read the magazine, I became exposed to Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala.

Since then, I have been very satisfied with Ubuntu in general, and I have been able to check out later versions of it from 10.04 to 12.04. | Since then, I have been very satisfied with Ubuntu in general, and I have been able to check out later versions of it from 10.04 to 12.04. | ||

Firstly, my friend Faizal recommended that I install the Netbook version 10.10—without knowing that it should be for netbook, not laptop! I went through the installation process, and... BAMM! Display resolution all wrong; no sound; no nothing! I was, like, OMG, here I go again! | Firstly, my friend Faizal recommended that I install the Netbook version 10.10—without knowing that it should be for netbook, not laptop!

- | When I related my terrible nightmare to Faizal, he said it could be a version problem. Netbooks have limited support in terms of hardware. I was, like, ok, yeah, that makes sense to me. I proceeded to install the Desktop version 10.10, and, BAMM again—another display resolution all wrong, still no sound, I got the X Server bootup problem but it wouldn’t auto boot to GUI. | + | When I related my terrible nightmare to Faizal, he said it could be a version problem.

- | I combed through the Ubuntu support forum online, looking for answers and solutions. Perhaps someone out there has done it before, and has the answers I am looking for? It had been the 5th day since I started my venture with Ubuntu. Sleepless nights—digging the internet and the Ubuntu Support Forum for an answer. No luck in my editing of configuration files, driver updates, or new packages installation. | + | Le jour où j'ai récupéré mon tout nouveau portable Compaq au centre commercial informatique local, j'ai acheté quelques CD vierges pour pouvoir graver le système d' |

I posted a help call in Ubuntu FB twice, and suddenly some Chinese fellow told me to re-compile the Kernel to an older version. A bit of a blur, I Google up the Kernel version. I got the answer that it’s an older version of Ubuntu version 10.04. I reposted my question to the Chinese fellow and he told me that it’s the only way to get my laptop running and speaking to me. Well, if that’s the solution to end my sleepless nights and nightmare, let it be. | I posted a help call in Ubuntu FB twice, and suddenly some Chinese fellow told me to re-compile the Kernel to an older version.

- | I got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and ready for a final showdown! It has to work this time or I might go MIA again! After the installation ended, I rebooted my laptop and waited a while as I searched for more possible answers online with my old laptop. It booted straight into GUI with beautiful colors but no sound coming from my Altec Lansing. I tried plugging in the sound port, and I could hear soft music. I knew my laptop was trying to speak to me. Back to combing through Ubuntu Support forum again. I got a suggestion to upgrade the ALSA and Realtek drivers to the latest versions. | + | I got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and ready for a final showdown! It has to work this time or I might go MIA again!

- | I rebooted and then a sound came from my new laptop! It was calling, talking to me! I was, like, OMG! It was the most beautiful sound coming from my new Altec Lansing laptop since I had bought it a week previously. As it booted up, it continued to go straight into the GUI. Then I double-checked the display resolution, webcam, USB connection, WIFI, and it was ALL PERFECT! As I started to venture around the Ubuntu system, I finally felt at peace! It was already on the 7th day that I was able to sleep a silent night.

After a few more days of toying and playing with the system, I got my Ubuntu to look like a Mac OSX! How cool is that? WAY COOL I say! I managed to post on Twitter, FB, chats, emails, played a few simple small games, and it all worked just fine. All the while, the system never hung or froze like my old laptop, which was pretty annoying. Linux, it’s so good to see you again my old friend. There you are. I am glad that I haven’t lost all of my Linux touch yet! | After a few more days of toying and playing with the system, I got my Ubuntu to look like a Mac OSX! How cool is that? WAY COOL I say!

I have now upgraded to 12.04. Some bugs in Gnome are still fighting inside with Unity, and it’s a work-in-process to find a fix now. | I have now upgraded to 12.04. Some bugs in Gnome are still fighting inside with Unity, and it’s a work-in-process to find a fix now. | ||
