    [ubuntu] Hard disk won't mount

    Wow, ibjsb4, how did you manage to reply to siddi 5.5 hours before (s)he posted the issue!?

  16. [ubuntu] Re: Update Manager: "The package system is broken."

    Siddi, you'd better open your own thread and explain the problems you're encountering there. Posting your problem in another thread makes replying to the different issues very confusing.

    Good luck
