Dear Desbrieres and Graziano, I tried to install the kernel linux -libre-2.6.37 as suggested.But I am not able to do so.The kernel 2.6.24-24 generic has not been replaced by the new kernel. I am quoting the error messages:"sudo: unable to resolve host $HOSTNAME . short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-libre-planet'. ....... updating /boot/grub/menu.lst. ". I also give the output of cat /etc/hosts "127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 "name". .... " I really do not know what to do now.Any help will be greatly appreciated.
