Thanks Vegas Ctrl-Alt-T was not working either!
I did finally find a workaround all this mess by turning off automatic log-in, then playing with the different log-in options. The Ubuntu 2D option...

Thanks for the try Audiomik

The Ctrl-Alt-t does not work to bring up the terminal.

I was not at all happy with all the problems with 10.04 and have heard nothing but horror stories about 12.04,...

OK, I've now tried different drivers, the Launcher is still way off the screen, if it is there at all.
At least now it is showing the correct monitor and all of it's settings.
But still no way to...

Hi Audiomick
Thank you for responding.
I figured the launcher was outside of the visible monitor window.
And the ALL SETTINGS area I can get to, has no viable adjustments to change anything.
I...

Against my better judgement, I bit the bullet and installed 12.04
Now my computer is useless, as expected.

NO LAUNCHER or if it is there, it's way off the screen in Limbo.

No EXIT button on...

Thank you very much dwhite!

I studied for hours and never figured out what was causing it!

Appreciate the fast and helpful response!!!!!

Hi Rich

I've tried every way of east of Sunday to get 12.04 to install to no avail.

The one and only Ubuntu release that ever worked right was 8.04!

We have 10.04 on two of our eight...

Thanks Guys

I've already tried all of that and more!

I even went to the working copies and made copies from them.
They all work just fine!
Even the Master I'm creating the copies from works...

Hi Gang

I'm working on some maps, all made from the same Master Map.

I have completed working on 3 of them without a single problem.

Hi Gang

For those of you using Thunderbird, this mornings Update Manager update for it, (details said additional bug fix) has rendered the drop down boxes invisible, therefore unusable.

If you...

If anyone has had this problem, some very nice fellows over at Debian had the solution for me.

It was just a matter of changing the X-Server from a Hz setting to AUTO!

I'm surprised none of the...

Hi Gang

Just installed 10.04 onto my computer that still had 8.04 on it.

The desktop moves to the left and up if the mouse nears the right edge or bottom of the screen.

It does not do this...

Hi Gang

I started using Thunderbird about 6 months ago, finally getting used to all it's missing features that I enjoyed in Eudora.

THATS JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

I saw it in the list, but didn't know what "Menu Bar" was so used just "Menu"!

Bar usually means something adds an entirely new BLOCK under the...

Hi 3rdalbum

That's what I did as a work around for now!
Added the Menu Applet.

I now know for certain that it's the Update that messed it up somehow!
Because I have another computer that has...

Can I take it that NO RESPONSE means there is NO WAY to UNDO the Update Manager Updates.....

What this is telling me is to no longer trust the Ubuntu Update Manager and Ignore the suggested...

Hi Gang

Everything was fine until I installed this mornings update.

Is there a way to REVERSE what was downloaded this morning.
Moving back to a previous kernel does not help, as whatever this...

Hi Lalaith

I don't know about Office10 so this may not be of much help to you.

I run both Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04, just haven't updated the other machines because they are set in their ways, hi...

Thanks for the replies!

The Cog, it then seems I guess, that the way I have been doing it, using Portable External USB Hard Drives all mirrored together, is still the best solution. Plus the...

Hi Gang
