CelticWarrior THANK YOU again. In my MSI legacy startup it was obvious how to change boot priorities. But in UEFI all I could see was a list of 'fixed boot priorities' which I couldn't change and in...

Hi Glazu: I dont have an answer for you but looks like you got to the same point I did yesterday. See my last post at the end of:-

Oldfred and others thanks again for all your help.

I have done a clean install windows 10 (knowing that it would force my hdd into GPT and UEFI. I let windows format 1/2 the HDD. leaving the...

Thank you I'll go for #3 and do a clean install of ubuntu on a fresh formatted drive.

Just a few final checks - before casting off:-

1. Its ok to install ubuntu 1st then...

Thank you Oldfred and CelticWarrior.
I am wondering whats the best solution if I want to keep dual boot for now?

Ajgreeny - Brilliant and thank you - However, I read your bit too quickly and ran the repair as everything seemed to be going well AND my pc now boots to the installed Ubuntu. Thats a very impressive...

Hi been struggling with this for several hours. I have win 10 on a legacy bios. I had installed ubuntu20.04 successfully and dual booting fine. But silly me then decided to install LXQT 20.04 over...

There's nowt wrong with Ubuntu. There are differences between distros so its fine for people to prefer one over another but I suggest that some of what is said is purely tribal, especially so when...

On my 1024 x 600 screen, the unity panel looks larger than the gnome panel and doesnt give me a lot of info as havent used it for long enough to learn what the icons stand for.

In gnome or lxde I...

I returned to Unity briefly again yesterday while installing 11.04 onto a new pc. After 10 exasperating minutes trying to find things I switched back to classic.

There is nothing wrong Unity it is...

You've hit the nail on the head for me - All I want in order to do my work / play is a 100% solid, no thrills desktop that just works. Something thats basically invisible so I can concentrate on the...

I'm pretty much an amateur at all this but I am fairly certain one additional issue with my wifi connection problem was due to the 2.6.38 kernel. I saw a bug report that was very similar to my...

What a nice guy - thank you so much for your thoughtful and positive response.

Could I suggest other replies might have been more appropriate -
such as 'I dont agree - I think the real problem...

You have 2 options

1. get unity 2d this is much faster booting and more responsive on my eee901 (switch on to wifi connected = 29s). I cant remember if 2d is in the repository or not but a quick...

I am experiencing similar problem with Natty. But is an inconsistent error so probably very hard to track down.

Using either chrome or ff 'some' pages and sites take forever to download but others...

Ive already said a few negative things about unity and when I installed the final release last night I had several problems and felt the same about it.

BUT. I have sorted these and - installed...

Thanks - I'm not sure what you mean by reformat - what i did was in synaptic I did a search for the best server. The problem was solved after i did this. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not....

I get the same problem - something strange with my 11.04 install tonite.

Took ages get get wifi hook up but did get a connection eventually - it seems to do limited google searches but cannot then...

My hardware doesnt agree with you. 11.04 struggles on my 2yr old 1.6g Asus netbook and is heavy on power. 1 year ago ubuntu had a 10s boot time target on netbooks. Now that has gone(along with low...

I agree on my 10" netbook the first thing i do with ubuntu is to remove the top panel and add the stuff I need from it to the bottom panel then make this autohide. For me this results in the perfect...

I just tried it out in ubuntu 11.04alpha - risky i know. I only upgraded rather than a new install so its not perfect. but I see that unity only runs if there is a video card that has 3d accelerator...

I have used unity on my atom based netbook while its good to see new ideas in my humble opinion its got a long way to go before matching gnome.

I have just checked power consumption with LXDE alpha 3. It seems to be a little greener than ubuntu. powertop shows a consumption of 7.3W and wake ups are reduced quite a lot running between...

I'm running 10.10 a3 on my eee901. And I must say its all running very cool. powertop reports 8w, battery 4.4 hrs left at about 75% charge, cpu temp 40C, fans not running, getting about 320-400...
