Re: [ubuntu-uk] NVIDIA X Server Settings
Darren, Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, however, it caused the resolution to revert to 800x600 permanently whereas the boot sequence had formerly been 1920x1080 initially.

Once you've got back the data it's probably a good idea to start archiving off the importent stuff that you want to keep. Not sure what everyone else thinks is best for archiving, I tend to archive important stuff (like family photos, videos etc) onto DVD-RAM discs and maybe also high quality DVDs too. It's also a good idea every so often to check the backup media just to make sure it works, I've had some CD and DVD media fail after a couple of years with read errors, but no the other hand some media is still working okay. Anyway, it's probably something for a new thread I guess. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Science Museum visit, Easter.
Hi there, Having just looked at the doodle poll again after a few days, a suitable date is most likely to be Saturday 17th April 2010, as that seems to be the date most people can come, so far! I do of course apologise to the people who sadly cannot make it on that day! Although this is all provisional, there's still a fair few months to go! :) As I said on the poll, organised group tours are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays... so as the date most people can be available is a Saturday, I'm guessing we don't want a tour and are going to do our own thing? This aspect needs to be refined (as to what we are going to do on that day)! :) Thanks, Isabell -- Regards, Isabell Long [[User:Isabell121]] on all public Wikimedia projects Freenode Community Co-Ordinator - issyl0 on irc.freenode.net PGP Key ID: 0xEB83C2BD signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
