Mcduck, your superb, elegant, on-topic, content-packed response solved my problem within an hour of uploading my question. Impressive. Thanks!!!
I used the command "update-manager -d" to put Natty Beta 2 on my Acer Aspire One netbook. It worked perfectly, but took about 7 hours because the SSD is so slow. The upgrade replaces the Netbook...
In Ubuntu 10.04, users who want to override gdm settings have to create a new file named /etc/gdm/custom.conf in the "keyfile" format. Meanwhile, the system default keys and values are in the...
Thanks to Crass Spektakel for Post #605 above! I got this working on Lucid Lynx, Ubuntu Studio edition, with some minor changes.
Here is an exact copy of one stanza in my file /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc....
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I just ran into the "grey screen of X" for the first time. Until I ran update-manager this evening and accepted all its suggestions, my setup had been working fine.

Sound works now ... yippee!
alsamixer doesn't offer the 'surround' option for my Tumbler audio hardware, but I re-interpreted your idea as "just turn on...
Leslie, Congratulations on getting the video working. I wish I had found your solution before groping toward my own. Back on the topic of this thread, do you have audio working on your 8.10...
Thanks. Video deserves its own thread, but since you asked ...
I spent many more hours doing trial-and-error than the following simple-looking result might suggest. The resulting file...
Hello, I'm trying to install 8.10 on a PowerMac G4 tower (466 MHz with ATI Rage Pro AGP video). My first attempt was to do a "Distribution Upgrade" from 8.04. That worked, but not perfectly, so I...
