This tutorial can also be used for computers with the following spec:

1. Realtek High Definition Audio
2. RT61 or RT2500 Wireless Cards

Ok.. lets start..

1. Download the installation CD. (see GettingUbuntu)
2. Burn the ISO to a CD (see BurningIsoHowto) and check to make sure it was burned correctly. (see Installation/CDIntegrityCheck)
3. Proceed with normal installation of Ubuntu by booting from the installation CD. (see GraphicalInstall)
4. Once the installation is finish, reboot your machine and boot into your fresh Ubuntu 8.04
5. Run update and upgrade

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

6. Add the Medibuntu repo as well

   sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

7. Now run apt-get update and install the medibuntu keyring

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

8. As i mentioned in my previous post, Ubuntu 8.04 contains several problems especially when it is running on my notebook. Some of the problems are looping sound and unsupported wifi card. To avoid these, you can use i386 kernel and so far all the problems are no longer appear. To install the i386 kernel, run the following command

   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-386 linux-image-386 linux-386

9. Now your need to reboot and boot into the i386 kernel
10. Lets install several packages

    sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk audacious vlc mplayer mozilla-mplayer w32codecs flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libcdaudio1 libdc1394-13 libdvdread3 libfaac0 libfaad0 libgmyth0 libgsm1 libiptcdata0 liblame0 libmjpegtools0c2a libmpeg2-4 libmysqlclient15off libopenspc0 libpostproc1d libquicktime1 libsidplay1 libsoundtouch1c2 libwildmidi0 libx264-57 libxvidcore4 msttcorefonts unrar sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

11. MSI VR320 or 320X is using ATI graphics card, so you need to install the ATI driver. Since EnvyNG has been install in previous step, now you just need to run EnvyNG
    Applications > System Tools > EnvyNG
    Once EnvyNG is loaded, just simply click Apply and wait for the installation to finish. After that reboot your machine
12. Apply THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS and THIS tweak
13. Done!

Q: I think my fresh installation is fine on my spec. Why it is different on your spec?
A: Ubuntu 8.04 is a mistake!

Major credit card is needed to make reservations for hotels, motels, car rentals and airline flights. Credit cards are also necessary when placing orders online or over the phone. As a student, do you have your own credit card to do all these? Ha… keep on reading and i’ll try to solve this problem with Prepaid Credit Card!

A prepaid credit card account is opened by depositing money into that account, much in the same way you would make a deposit to open a checking or savings account. Once you have money in your account, you’re issued a prepaid credit card that can be used anywhere one would use a regular credit card. The best part of the prepaid credit card is that you can charge to your heart’s content and you won’t be in debt. The money is yours and once it’s gone, you can’t spend any more until you make another deposit. There are no bills and no interest charges. It’s the same principle as using a debit card linked to a savings or checking account.

If you’re frustrated because a credit card is necessary to get by in today’s world, but can’t apply for one because of bad credit, you might consider a prepaid credit card. You’ll have most of the advantages of a credit card, and you won’t have to worry about interest charges. Sounds like a prepaid credit card is a pretty good deal.
