I've had a few problems since upgrading from Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 I'm
still researching what to do about them. It seems I'm not the only
one with problems. The ones I've got are:
1. USB flash drive is no longer auto-mounted. System message log
notes insertion and removal.
2. System doesn't appear to recognise any media in DVD/CD drive.
3. Swap file has to be mounted manually.
The last problem may go back to 6.10 ... it was because of that
problem that I decided to upgrade. Seems that the swap file was
corrupted a while back.
Has anyone else done the upgrade? Did you experience any of the above problems?

I have Kubuntu Feisty if anybody wants a CD.
Can anybody in Hamilton supply Feisty edubuntu and/or xubuntu CDs? in
exchange for blank CDs, Kubuntu Feisty or other suitable compensation.

Hello,
I am interested in buying a laptop. A key requirement would be that
it ran Linux (Kubuntu) smoothly and that all the hardware was
supported, not neccessarily by *open* source drivers as binary drivers would be
okay eg NVIDIA drivers.
I would be interested to read comments on what would might be a good
model or vendor and advice on hardware options that definitely
struggle to work?
I realise that there are all sorts of websites for advice but
sometimes the models aren't readily avaiable here. If someone has
recently bought a laptop that they are really happy with Linux wise,
I'd be interested to know.
Options I am interested in
moderately large screen, nvidia graphics card, intel duo and linux
support camera and wifi.
Thoughts, comments appreciated.
Chris

Hi There,
I know from experience that if you buy a laptop with
a "SyS" graphics card that uses shared memory you may have
some trouble.

times again.
Thanks John

Hi All,
While browsing through some computer sale sight I came
across this:
http://www.taurangacomputers.co.nz/high_end_celeron.htm
So you can "downgrade" away from windows vista and get a
cash discount :-) I wonder how many other stores offer this.
Most of the sales people I have spoken with are not willing
to refund the cost of preinstalled windows or sell without
the o/s.
Regards John.
When I go to save an edit of a page:
**
*"
Warning!*
PHP Warning
lib/stdlib.php:1504: Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier '\'
(...repeated 2 times)
"
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Elroy.
Possibly. is it broken tonight??
