    [ubuntu] Re: Strange mouse problem

    [ubuntu] Strange mouse problem

    This problem occurs after both an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and a fresh 10.04 install. Problem occurs in both 32 and 64 bit versions. The mouse is a USB mouse made by Z-Boards, its the mouse that...
  3. Thanks for all the hard work done on 7.10!

    Re: I just made a really awful mistake

    Don't feel bad. Once I only installed the right side of a memory stick, didn't push in the left side, powered on the system, smelled smoke and burining silicon. Fried the mobo.

    Glad to see another user realize there's other options than being forced to follow the empire.

    Re: A fresh convert.

    lol, sorry, every time I try to type repositories, I gotta slow down cause the other one wants to be typed out instead.
