Re: Upgraded to Karmic, and motd disappeared

The problem is that the Nvidia Settings program is not set up to run with root privelages, so it can't write to the /etc/X11 directory. Try using Alt+F2 to open the Run Command dialog, and then...

Re: Booting faster after the upgrade?

I usually do a fresh install with each release to avoid issues like this. I keep my /home folder on a separate partition, so all of my settings and files are preserved each time I upgrade.

Re: hello... need help with monitor resolution settings

Well, I know one way to try to solve this problem, but it's relatively advanced and might not be very easy for a newcomer to Linux. I'll go ahead and throw this out there, but if anyone else knows...

Re: Ubuntu 8.10, trying to install EnvyNG, it says already installed but I can't find

I tried EnvyNG on Intrepid at first, also, but then ended up not needing it. I don't think the GTK package is working with Intrepid. It didn't matter, though - the nvidia-glx-177 package included...

Re: HP Laptop

That's correct. I used Xubuntu on a laptop with similar limitations, and it performed very well. I'd definitely recommend it for low-end PCs!
