I just ran another speed test and compared the result to the Ubuntu System Monitor: While the external site said about 54Kib/s, System Monitor reported about 12Kib/s. This slow rate is observed with fire fox, thunderbird, pan. Also, I don't know if this is a related or different problem, but sometimes system performance slows to a crawl. When I check System Monitor, it shows the CPU running 100%. When I look at what is running the two top consumers of CPU cycles are Firefox and System Monitor to the additive measure of about 80%. The slow download speed is not directly related to Firefox being open or not, e.g., Pan is downloading, Firefox is not opened... slow download speed.

[Bug 156366] FeistyGutsy upgrade bricked my hard drives
Public bug reported: I used the update notification at Synaptic Package Manager on my Feisty laptop to begin the Gutsy upgrade. After the files were obtained it began replacing Feisty to Gutsy versions. As the files were being written, I noticed quite a few dependencies errors with their messages that a given file (program) would not be installed or might not work properly. This message suggested that I file a bug report. A bit further on into this upgrade process I noticed that there were messages giving me the option to compare the differences between the file I had and the new file. So on one of these messages, I don't know which one, I selected D and was given a command line screen that described stuff I did not know about and then sat there saying end. I figured that hitting enter would return me to the install process. Not so. The machine was sitting at the command prompt waiting for, I don't know what. Eventually I thought if I did a power down/up that the install process would pick up from where it left off. Again, not so. I tried booting from the regular kernal choice and from the recovery mode, neither of which yeilded a working computer. From the screens that stopped on the boot attempts I wrote down the last screen of each attempt. The significant lines are: For the kernel 2.6.22-14 (recovery mode) [10.960197]/build/buildd/linux-source-2.6.22-2.6.22/drivers/ftc/hc.tosys.c: unable to open rtc device(rtc0) [10.973499] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1 [11.063970] VFS: Cannot open root device UUID =adc16267-58e2-4882-9850-9da2e35d482 or unknown-block (0,0) [11.064022] Please append a correct root= boot option; here are the available partitions: [11.064075] Kernel panic - not sysncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) For the kernel 2.6.22.14-generic [16.798468] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge :00:04.0 [17.014051] Kernal panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) At the bottom of the screen: Kernel alive kernel direct mapping tables up to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had other boot choices which I went through and tried them all with the result that I was brought to a light blue screen with a cursor that I could move around but no text or sign-in boxes.

I've used our second laptop to download the Gutsy AMD64 .iso and burn a CD. I am at the bricked laptop as I write this, but only on the CD. I want help with finding, identifying and recovering important files, if not the entire hard disks.

From Lionel Le Folgoc's recommendation via email, I used Synaptic Package Manager to get xfree86-driver-synaptics. Then went to /usrx11R6/lib/modules/input and found that I already had the file synaptics_drv.o. I then rebooted and the touchpad was controllable. However, three new problems have become apparant. First, there is no scroll function. At one time I could double click and make a scroll happen. Second, if i want to do a drag and select several files I must hold down the left pad switch. Third, when I went to Kaffeine player and ran a clip, went to full screen, the returned to the screen with the top and bottom menus, the bottom control bar (panel, menu?) was flickering. A second run found Kaffeine locked in the full screen mode until the clip was done and 'P' for playlist was clicked, which released the full screen and brought up the playlist. I wonder if there is or will be a gui to set all the features of the Synaptics touchpad? Maybe this issue is getting closer to being resolved and incorporated into an update.

[Bug 59853] click, drag drop confused
Public bug reported: my touchpad is in its second cycle of confused behavior. A variaty of misbeaviors: touching the pad sometimes makes a call to a url, the location apparantly some misbegotten cut. Touching the top bar makes the window disappear to the bottom of the stack. Attempting to click will result in a selection of the item but no action will result. An physical button must be pressed. In lists of items, i.e., bookmarks, it's real easy to inadvertantly drag and drop an item an loose it inside another. The touchpad is such and important part of the human input stream that having the touchpad be out-of-order makes the entire computer rather useless. The computer that I am running Ubuntu 6.06 on is a HP DV8000 with AMD64 chip. I am not a software engineer. Will someone take the time to help me get the touchpad right? Thank you, Doug Siddens Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'synaptics'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- click, drag drop confused https://launchpad.net/bugs/59853 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a me too note. I think I can claim to have experienced all the behaviors above at various times. I'm ignorant of the linux command line; just want the pad to work as a full-on synaptics optioned device.
