disclaimer: I know nothing about linux.  Tried an Ubuntu LiveCD I got earlier today, and it wouldn't boot. A similar problem happened with Kanotix when I tried it a few months ago. The Ubuntu CD did let me get a verbose log of what was happening, and it looked like it was trying to mount the CD-Rom as hdc and failing to read it, or something. I got a lot of DriveReady SeekComplete error opcode unknown garbage. If I can find a digital camera I could take a picture of the bootscreen if needed. Anyone have a clue what to do? With experience like this with liveCDs, it isn't making me want to install anything..

thenameseli posted:That sounds like you might be burning bad cdroms. See if you can open the files on another computer. I suppose it is possible for it to be able to access the first bit of boot information but encounter errors with stuff further on.

ide=nodma fixed it. after that, replacing USB kb/mouse with old ps2 ones fixed no input. I'm still wondering why I can't switch resolutions without it logging out and logging back in (and not saving the resolution change), but eh. I'm debating whether or not to install and try to fix it up, or wait for FeistyFawn.

Twinxor posted:You can get builds of Feisty now, and just upgrade them to the release version when it comes out. They aren't guaranteed to work, but I dist-upgraded from edgy without incident, and I'd expect very little to be broken this close to release. The Release Candidate ISO will be out in the next few days, if you want something official. tehk posted:I wouldn't today. The 14.23 and 15.24 Kernels mess with some sata controllers(lock up at boot). They are going to have the 15.25 kernel up in like 8 hours(area depending). The RC was delayed because of this.

Is there a MATLAB language implementation that aims for compatibility with the Matlab that Mathwords puts out? I tried Scilab, and half of my working-in-windows code doesn't work on it. I don't really know much about Linux yet, I am gonna try FreeMat once I learn how to 'use alien to install the rpm version', as I was just advised. The font rendering looks so much better, it'd be so much nicer to work in Linux..
