Hello Fabi,
I haven't looked at my email for a while so first I appologise for the late
reply. The bug happend with all the Ubuntu 8's and 9's however 10.04.1 is
ok. 10.10 I haven't tried yet. Some other details which may be of use is
that at the time of 9.10 I switched from an old crt to the monitor that I
mention. I had other problems with 9.10 which I couldn't solve in the few
days I had available so I skipped it and stayed with 9.04 until 10.04 which
was also skipped due to the apparant complexity of the post install
mending, I'm an application user rather than an IT wizard I'm afraid and
couldn't face another 9.10 like experiance. 10.04.1 seems great so far,
reminds me of the old Ubuntu 7's "it just works" idea, all I had to do was
start the gdm from the command line, which the first lucid boot took me to,
then make that change persist through cold boots which was trivial. Another
detail which may, or may not, have something to do with it is that on
booting I always get an error message which says "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer
not connected to IO-APIC". This happens with most of the distro's that I
have tried including all Ubuntu's, however it doesn't seem to affect
functionality once I get in.
I'm sorry I know so little and am grateful to for the reply, on posting and
seeing that I seemed to be alone I presumed it was just some fault in my
machine and never expected a responce.
Thank you for your time and effort, it is appreciated.
Simon
