The Alien Rescue (https://www.alienrescue.net/) game is not working under Unity in Firefox with Ubuntu 12.04. Although 12.04 has Unity to replace GNOME in Ubuntu, so this will get pretty confusing.

When booting after upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10, it stalls with the ubuntu logo and the dots going. Pressing an F# key opens a log where there are repeated "-tion manager" / "[fail]" entries. the...

Thanks! I had tried sudo apt-get update, and the same error opens. Just glad to know it's their fault and not mine, and that hopefully they will fix it soon. At least before 12.04 comes out for good!

When I check for updates in the Update Manager or use "sudo apt-get update" I get the following:

Thanks! I also had this problem and it fixed it perfectly! :)

UPDATE: Pressing a key will boot it back up, but I get a screen saying "VAIO" (as if booting from shutdown state), then some text flashes on and off the screen (as normal), the screen turns purple...

After updating to 11.10, clicking on the Suspend option shuts down the laptop completely. I upgraded to 12.04 beta, and this is still an issue. This wasn't a problem in 10.04, which I used for a...

When I click the "Suspend" option, it shuts down the computer. Is there any way to fix this?

AHG! There is no 'boot' in the list for step 4!!! :(

Any other ways?

Looks confusing... But I can try. Waiting for setup to start.

There isn't a 'Repair' option. When I insert the DVD, it loads a dialogue with 'Install Now' as an olny button.

Will an Upgrade version work? That's all I have..

Good, I'm going to get my Windows disk now.. Have to reboot.

Wait...
Will this delete any Windows files at all?

I'll try that in a minute. I have some emails to do now. I'll post the results in about half an hour, so stay watching. :o
