"Click the big orange button to download the latest version of Ubuntu."
I ran the tool and it started downloading 10.04 not 10.10.
montysan is right - running apt-get update manually pushes Update Manager into prompting
I filed a bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/597247
Sure, but it's meant to start automatically, so there's clearly something going wrong somewhere.
I'm curious - what happened here?
I installed 10.04 about 2 hours ago, and I still haven't received any notification/pop-up to install updates. 2 hours may not seem all that long an amount of...
No difference, it's just so you can do more than one thing at once. It's also possible to have different users logged in to each one.
Anything in System->Administration should ask for your password when it wants to be root. Unfortunately, nvidia control panel is the exception since it is closed-source so the problem can only be...
As I recall you don't set it to anything, you have to point to the iso. I'll give it a try myself in 5 mins
Damn, I really thought that would work!
What is the output of the following commands? I want to check that the last thing did what it was supposed to.
ls -al /lib/firmware/b43
lsmod|grep...
Try System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
Don't be so rude. People here are helping you out in their own free time. They have already answered the question you asked.
To summarise: The RAM you have may be enough to run but the install...
Yes, then wait a minute and the networks should show up when you click the icon. My guess is that this won't work though. I think what happened is you either weren't connected to the internet the...
Why does no one ever check the release notes first :)

What is the make and model of the wireless card?
What command did you type in?
What was the output?
I may not be able to help you, but neither will any one else until you make your first post...
It doesn't make fresh installs any easier. Simply, do the install then restore /home from your backup drive. I'm not sure what you mean about making backup tools easier to use, I guess you mean...
I think we've found the problem! For whatever reason, the b43 module/driver (module is linux-speak for driver basically) isn't loading. However, that's the driver we need, as evidenced by this line...
This is precisely why having /home on a separate partition is completely pointless. Why not just backup the home folder to so an external drive then restore it from there if you need to. No need for...
Don't try installing the STA driver. The easiest way is through Hardware Drivers, so if it is not there then you probably don't need it.
Theoretically the B43 one listed there should work fine. I...
I have the same card. Connect your laptop to the router with an ethernet cable and install any available updates (System->Administration->Update Manager). Then open up Hardware Drivers, deactivate...
This is going to sound stupid, but try moving closer to the router. It could just be you are out of range. So far you have done everything right - it should just be a case of clicking the icon and...
Thanks, I think I get it now. So the computer was reading it in the following chunks as it were?
find . [-name "*.jpg"] [-o -name "*.nfo"] [-o -name "*.oldversion"] [-o -name "*.tbn" -print0]
...
It means that the smb.conf is definitely ok.
Weird - everything you have posted is set up right, I can't think of any more possible problems. F and R just denote whether the share should be read-only. Are you certain that the permissions are...
What was wrong with the way I did it though? I'm just curious :)
It seems to only be working on the last expression, i.e. it deletes every file ending in "tbn" but doesn't do the others even though there's plenty of files that match.
