I user installed the latest updates as per the update manager.
My EDVO card will now not initialize. No /dev/ttyUSBn devcies for it.
How does enabling the boot menu going to help if GRUB won't load either way on restart boot?

Three issues I can't seem to resolve.
1. The update manager no longer seems to put up an icon in the panel when there are updates. This was working quite well in 8.10 but seem to have done...
Well, there doesn't seem to be any resolution to the left-handed mouse issue anytime soon so I've elected to fix it myself.
In my .Xmodmap file, I added
pointer = 3 2 1and set the mouse back...

KeySpan issue sorted out.
Desktop icons issue sorted out.
AC597E EVDO works but there is something amuck in the rules I had for the device in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules...
It appears that the support for KeySpan serial devices was removed from the 9.10 kernel too. Plugging the device in gives me no /dev/ttyUSB* device.

OK... I did a clean install of 9.10 to see what OTHER problems I can look forward to before trying to actually use it.

Please read what I posted. 9.04 is where it's failing on the way to 9.10.
Read the other thread too.
I tried upgrading to 9.04 a few weeks ago. It was SLOW... painfully SLOW and many problems with the graphics. I reverted back to 8.10 and decided to wait for 9.10.
I had to install 9.04 to...

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all day of downloading 1300+ updates, I get an error message that it can authenticate the packages.
What kind of crap is this? I've waited for...
OK. I'll reinstall 9.04 soon. I'm very busy this week but, perhaps, sometime next week and then I'll try the Perf.guide suggestions. I won't live on it for too long though and if it still dogs...
There won't be an update path? I have too many things on the laptop to have to back them off and restore.
I found a number of links about video driver problems but none seemed to help cure the problem. I think that I may just wait now until 9.10 is released to give another upgrade a go. It just...
I've restored 8.10; 9.04 was just unusable as it was.

I finally got to upgrading to 9.04 after I backed up the 8.10.

Ubuntu 8.10 and Firefox 3.0.13 which is, IIAC, the most recent version of FF that will run on Ubuntu 8.10.
Yeah, I know all about apt-get; that doesn't answer my question.
Why does the "update manager" icon appear in the panel informing me of updates that I cannot update? I just find it every...
Why do I get notification of updates that I can't update? For example, today there was an update notification in the panel. I clicked on it and it showed me two updates for Firefox:

Serious digital photographers will stay in the OS X world and use Aperture.
Nevermind. cryptoloop and aes in my /etc/modules file were overwritten. I put both bask in the modules file and I can now make and mount encrypted filesystems.
Difference files or change report...
I used to mount (8.04) several encrypted ISOs with the following command:
$ sudo mount -t iso9660 ~/myenc.iso /mnt/iso -o loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=aes256
after upgrade to 8.10, I get:

If it's any consolation, it still does this on 8.10. I really would love to see this fixed already.
