Here's the answer and it is obviously an old problem

Who'd have guessed it ???

This is NOT a keyboard problem. I have the same issue on my two, entirely independent Ubuntu computers. I have tried several keyboards both English and French which all work perfectly EXCEPT for the...

Brilliant marketing. You will have earned your prize if you win it. If not, you will at least have earned our gratitude for waving the Linux flag in such a refreshingly pleasant manner.

I should have mentioned before that I'm using the Gnome Desktop. Consequently, downloading Krita does involve the installation of many auxiliary files. Is that a good idea? Also, if I do download...

I've just downloaded Xara Xtreme and Gthumb. Gthumb seems to be simply about managing photo files and Xara, although much closer to requirements, doesn't appear to manage colour and gamma settings...

Thanks guys, some really useful advice in there and I appreciate it. Much as I enjoy sketching I still prefer pencils and paper for that. However, for modifying photos PSP was really quick, easy, and...

I used to be a big fan of this program and although Gimp is probably better it is just too complicated for the casual user. I've just spent an hour with it and have achieved nothing, not even a...

At last someone trying to be helpful and offering constructive advice! Thank you Wilee-Nilee. I'll download the live CD and see if that can repair anything. I wonder about your mention of opening...

One might have hoped so. I enjoyed Ubuntu 9.04 immensely and had built it into a very busy and complex workspace. It now lies in ruins and there doesn't seem to be any help around to fix it.

Yes Geogur I do have issues, thanks to Ubuntu9.10.

PS Did you mean T O K Y O Rose?

How astute of you! That is indeed what I was suggesting.

To add insult to injury this thread has now been pushed away into a corner where it cannot influence absolute beginners to Ubuntu. Obviously some one is trying to hide the fact that other systems...

As I said, a canny Scot! From reading this thread alone it is blatantly obvious that I am not alone with my 9.10 problems. In your wisdom you are personally refraining from upgrading to 9.10 until...

Some of you seem to think I'm somewhat brainless for simply doing what Ubuntu told me to do when I was doing my daily check for updates. However, They did not tell me to go to the "Absolute Beginners...

Oh yeah, that reminds me, none of my videos work either!

Somebody had better tell Ubuntu! They are the ones who tell us to "Upgrade now".

Doesn't say anything about "LiveCD" it just says "Upgrade Now"!

You are OBVIOUSLY a very canny Scot because you yourself have stayed away from the 9.10 upgrade. You must have more experience of these problems than I ?
Meanwhile Windows delivers.

I have just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and nothing seems to work any-more. Programs start and then crash immediately, sound has gone haywire and my computer has become so slow that using it is...

This sounded like really good news but it turns out that the Wine-Doors package repository is down and the website is dead. Wine-Doors still installs well enough but cannot be used.

Well said Jack Spratt ! Kompozer is about as useful as a bike with no wheels; it keeps your anger exercised but you never get anywhere. Windows is still the only place to be for serious web...

Thanks for your reply.

Finding drivers for Windows is easy but finding them for ubuntu is nigh impossible. Buying a USB keyboard is neither cost effective nor conducive to portability.

With no solutions to my Ubuntu installation problems I tried re-installing the latest version of Windows XP. This installation worked brilliantly and my laptop is now fully functional.

However, I...

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a LIFETEC LT41700 laptop but Ubuntu does not enable the keyboard or the touchpad. An external USB mouse works but with obvious difficulty. However, text is an integral...

For information.

I have now completed the assembly of my new computer including these principle parts:-
