Hello.
I have Vista and Ubuntu dual boot on a Gateway notebook.

If booted into Vista and after an attempt to upgrade to Windows 7 the computer posts the message that the NTFS partition is not...

Let me see if I understand.
You seemed to indicate that when you use tightVNC on the Vista machine you see a grey screen from the Ubuntu server.

When the Vista machine displays a grey screen does...

You appeared to state that with WPA disabled the wireless card worked.
That suggests compatability between the card and network hardware.

The computer's inability to achieve WPA connectivity...

That sounds very frustrating.

Perhaps something became corrupted during the install.

Anyway - does the system function well if it boots and runs from the Ubuntu install CD? If it does, then you...

Check sound settings. Some of the newer machines, particularly laptops, input audio require either low level reconfiguration or simply fail to work. You should search for the model of computer and...

Are you looking for installed applications or packages?

Check bios settings to make sure that the hard drive is recognized and enabled.

That will bring up a series of restore or test options....

Well, no, Ubuntu seems extraordinarily stable.
How do the computers behave with a different OS installed?
How about some of the other Linux based OS's or even a Windows install?
It might be worth...

Hmmm.
I had a similar experience. After attempting to enable a higher screen resolution the display completely blanked.
The correction entailed starting in recover mode (that is, pressing the...

Well, before adding application or services, could you please provide some detail? For example what operating systems are the PCs using? Both Windows (let us hope not), both Ubuntu Linux, or a...

Hmmm.
Usually, DHCP will work more easily than fixed IP.
What was the result of resetting it to the fixed IP?
If that still works, examine the configuration settings and compare them to the DHCP. ...

I can sympathize with you.
Version 6.0 was the most recent Ubuntu version that worked 100% for me. Since then either the hardware was too new or services unsupported.

I agree with several of the...

On my late 1998 or 1999 model laptop with 190 MB RAM and a 6 G hard drive, Gutsy fails to run. For that matter, so did Feisty. The non-technical description is that they are "squirrely" - odd things...
