examination of file system shows no problem, Fsck completes with no
errors.  System is not over heating.

[Bug 575141] [NEW] External NTFS esata drive mounting as read only

2010-05-04 Thread silicon.shaman
Public bug reported:

running under Lucid Lynx 10.

External eSATA drive [maxor 1Tb] mounted via PCIe card mounts as read only.  
Unable to mount as RW, cannot write to drive at all.
Unable to change permissions even logged in as root [drive is owned by root] 
although drive auto mounts and reads ok.
Editing fstab &/or mtab to users,mode=0777 or users,mode=0755 does not enable 
write support.
NTFS write support is shown as enabled. 
Mount manger has no effect.

[Bug 563878] Re: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI graphics driver

2010-05-03 Thread silicon.shaman
@Jeff Sereno
It's more than an appearance problem, at least on my system. The ATI driver 
kept corrupting the boot loader itself, so I couldn't reboot more than a couple 
of times before it failed and I needed to reinstall. 
 As I said, uninstalling it fixed the image appearance and the memory leak.

[Bug 563878] Re: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI graphics driver

2010-05-03 Thread silicon.shaman
Solution to this problem seems to be to uninstall the ATI driver. It not
only resolves the problem with the plymouth logo, but also means the
system can auto-detect monitor type correctly, 3d effects are enabled
[where supported] and as far as I can tell, run faster. More importantly
though..  it stops corrupting the boot loader. So you can reboot more
than just a few times before it all falls over. [note, you still have to
reinstall a clean copy of the boot loader afterwards].

Sometimes, less is more.
