Re: The error message means that your CPU does not support PAE extensions

so instead of releasing a non-pae iso, they force people to a net install.

Sucks for people without highspeed.

I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to ubuntu. The package support and rolling updates I <3, but ubuntu's stability and crappy unity interface not so much.

That's ubuntu for ya...

ubuntu's stability and crappy unity interface not so much.

Even with that, they still prop themselves up as being so superior to XP/wintel.

Ever since 'buntu "sold out," they've only been whoring themselves...

Re: The error message means that your CPU does not support PAE extensions

I had pretty good luck with Ubuntu until the last two releases. I am using an Intel D865 board with 2 gig of memory. Using the on board video. Both Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 load great, but when I log in, all I get is the desktop background - no menu bar and no launcher. I have found several posts giving the "workaround" but so far none have worked. I also found a post that said that the Intel chipsets 845, 865, and 895 will not work. So I put a video card in the AGP slot and it still doesn't work. I can load and use Ubuntu 12.04 with no problem, but have not figured out a solution for using the 865 board.

There is a link on the page you linked to that gives solutions.

It seems Xubuntu & Lubuntu have non-PAE kernels. And, someone has made a non-PAE version of Ubuntu 12.04:

EDIT:

Here's another How-To:

It didn't take much digging to find this info.

If this is a nVidia card, you have to edit the xorg.conf file:

When configuring Linux video, the MythTV wiki has a lot of info:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XvMC#Configuring_xorg.conf

Also, make sure the BIOS is set to use the AGP card instead of the internal video chip.

EDIT:

I don't find an AGPGART module on my system, so I don't believe it is included in Linux anymore.
