I think things have changed.

Something wasn't going right when downloading lirc-modules source, so I went into Synaptic to check it, and it said:

Solved by getting a new scanner.

This issue was solved by reinstalling Plymouth... or at least that's how I remember solving it.

I have since upgraded to 11.04 with a fresh install, and all boot graphics are perfectly fine.

Solution: Abandoned Deja Dup and I'm now using Spideroak services.

Favux,

Thanks for responding. Your constant efforts to deal with Wacom issues for all Ubuntu users is much appreciated.

Turns out I'm an idiot. Or at least very forgetful. I had been down this...

Solution: Installed "Unity 2D" from Synaptic. 2D works fine.

In the end, though, I decided to go back to Gnome. It's not that Unity is bad, it's just that it's not better enough to be worth the...

Solution: Gave up on trying to fix it and instead did a fresh install.

I gave up on trying to fix this and did a fresh install.

Works fine without any special settings.

Why a fresh install should work smoothly, and an upgrade should fail so miserably is beyond me,...

Because of Nvidia driver problems my upgrade failed and I had to do a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04.

Now I have my system restored, but my Wacom tablet is no longer set to the preferences I had...

Has the system changed in 11.04?

I followed the instructions and everything seemed to go fine until the very last step, when I got this error:

Yes, in so far that I verified that my GRUB is loading and that I can select different kernels to boot.

Why would I need to configure GRUB to get my video to work properly? Doesn't GRUB just...

Sorry, but I need to rant a little here.

Literally every single time I upgrade Ubuntu, going back more versions than I can remember, I have had problems with the Nvidia drivers, or Xorg, or...

I was disappointed when upgrading my laptop to get a message saying I could not run Unity.

I don't know yet if I even like Unity, but I'd like to try it and find out. And I'd also like to know if...

I have an Aten Master View CS-1742 switcher that switches between two computers. One is a Windows computer, the other is an Ubuntu computer.

Thank you so much for your continued help.

piquat,

Thank you for joining the thread.

I don't know how to tell if the information from ping and the information from ifconfig are related. However, I'll do it again, with the pings first,...

tredegar,

Sorry, you're right, I didn't catch everything you suggested I try in post #22.

So... I tried powering down the working machine, and then I assigned that IP address to the misbehaving...

tredegar,

Thank you for replying.

Unfortunately, we seem to have gone in a bit of a loop. You recommended I post the output of those same ping commands earlier in this very thread, and we...

spook1980,

Thank you for responding.

The contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file are in the output of my last message.

Did you perhaps mean a different file?

Thank you for your continued help on this very sticky problem.

Update: I have deleted the evil network-manager, and now I have SSH connectivity back. :D

Still no internet...
