    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu 11.04 Won't shut Down Completely

    I had a similar situation with a different graphics card. In my case, I needed to get to the shutdown messages (I think cntl-alt-del worked, or by running sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal). The...

    [ubuntu] Re: Firefox 3 won't start after daily update

    Thanks, foadumf. For the benefit of others, this does not seem to be an Ubuntu problem. All distributions are suffering from the same "broken after upgrade" problem.
