As Tanker Bob experienced, Yahoo mail will not display any of the filtered mail in folders for longer than a few seconds, this is in both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions.

I have an old Toshiba Equuium 100A that runs Ubuntu very well indeed, far better than the Windows crap it came with.
The same goes for the new Asus A54C, bough just before Christmas.

QQ installed now - it was not a secure boot machine after all but when the BIOS was set to boot either from the DVD or USB, it forgot when restarted.
Pressing "Esc" while the splash screen was on...

Same here on my old laptop since installing QQ, also on a new desktop and a new laptop.

I am finding this too.

I'm having a similar problem. My desktop motherboard died so I pulled the hard drive and put it in a USB caddy, dragged the home folder onto my laptop - it did shout about not having permission but...

Tried to install from a download that went hopelessly wrong - bad burn I expect.
Installed 10.04 from an original CD then upgraded through the builds.
Oneiric had a few flaws, mainly with installs...

Go to System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager and type in Firefox.

Excellent, thanks for the reply. As usual a very simple solution that completely scrambled my brains.
I am still a bit confused as to why it should demand a username and password on one computer...

Good advice. I am also 63 and have very few problems but have been pottering around with computers for quite a while but to illustrate the validity of the quoted post, my wife is, or was until...

I created a bootable USB stick with 11.04 on it.
This worked well on several laptops that were otherwise failing to boot Windows.

I have another laptop here with the same problem - boots then...

I wish that I had seen this a year ago.
I bought Home and when it arrived it was region 1.
Nothing I had would play it. Recently it came out in region 2 so I bought another copy and gave the...

Well, fingers crossed but that seems to have cured it! :)

There was no Software Sources in the Administration menu but have disabled it in Synaptic.

It generally doesn't ask for the install CD, only when running apt-get from the command line

Oddly enough it has run since doing that without apt-get popping up and slowing things down.

I had...

Thanks for the response [b]snowpine[/url]
Updates work OK from the update manager BUT only when the system has recently been rebooted. Once apt-get starts it won't work.
The triangle reappeared...

Season's greetings Ubuntuers!

For the past few weeks I have had a problem with the computer slowing down considerably and have discovered the cause to be apt-get running continuously after the...

I have been experiencing some atypical slowdowns.
Noticed on the Docky icon that the CPU was at 100% - most unusual.

Try it with Chromium or Arora, both work fine on my Yahoo accounts (so does Firefox but there could be a problem with the older version, although it was never a problem when I ran the older versions...

It is most likely something like this: MySecurityShield that I just removed from a friends netbook (after an IT department had had it a month and got nowhere).
You can safely ignore it but do scan...

Thanks :)
