I tryed installing EMC on a old HP notebook that I had using the script for ubuntu ver 6.06 installs ok then on reboot there was just a strange ticking noise and nothing could connect to the Xserver the install so nothing worked after login, kinda wierd becouse login uses Xserver. It looked like the install broke some of the links that giv the desktop premision to get going. I tryed ubuntu 5.10 and its install script for EMC it worked
... however .... its still going tick, tick, tick about 3 times a second this is played back through the sound card (at first I thought the fan had broke). So now to the question dose EMC2 is this normal some kind of heartbeet or is it a conflict with the sound card? It tends to change frequncy geting slower with hevy cpu loading and speeding up when AXIS is started. Both versions of ubntu woork fine without EMC on the same notebook.
