HI,

We just built our first pc and it worked when we turned it on !!!!!  (there are some problems)

Problems:
incredibly slow, mouse, typing anything - it's slow
vga not coming through on new monitor
wifi signal not detected (ethernet is working)
cannot run the .exe from the cd included with the mother board

I think that drivers have not been loaded and I can't find/figure out how to load them in ubuntu

Motherboard is H110M-DGS

thanks
Tony

For starters there's no drivers for Ubuntu(or any Linux variant) on the included CD.

Is this a Live CD you're trying to use, OR, did you go the Install route?

As wardog said, there is no official support for Ubuntu or any Linux version with any ASRock board. You'll find that to be true for any mother board manufacture. The driver disk only contains drivers and software that is Windows compatible.

Drivers and software for the various hardware components in a mother board are provided by the manufacture of the hardware themselves. For example, your board has an Intel H110 chipset, Realtek audio and network chips, and whatever WiFi adapter you are using. Those manufactures provide the drivers and software to the mother board manufactures. Mother board manufactures do not create drivers and software for those components.

If the various hardware manufactures had Linux compatible drivers available, then the mother board manufactures could provide them to you. It's also more complex than that, depending upon the version of Linux being used.

So when someone uses Ubuntu or other variant of Linux, they are on their own providing drivers and other essential software, sorry to say. You'll need to find assistance through the various Ubuntu and Linux websites, such as where you downloaded Ubuntu.

How were the various components working when you booted with the USB stick? Try booting with it again and see if the experience is different.
