Re: [ubuntu-uk] is this a bug

Basically it means that package wacom-tools has been replaced by xserver-xorg-input-wacom which is installed by default so indeed if the Wacom tablet doesn't work as expected, it is a bug.

Yep, I think it's a good idea, The Register already did an article about Ubuntu the other day... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/27/ubuntu_10_04_mac_windows/ Only issue I can see is if news sites are doing something about it for instance, this morning and people head over to the Ubuntu site they'll see that 9.10 is still the default (unless they choose 10.04 RC). I sometimes wonder if they're better off releasing it at 12am? Personally I'm happy to wait, but I know it's been brought up on the list before about the release not actually happening until later on in the day.

I've just checked the Virgin mirror and that's still on 10.04 RC, so I've grabbed the torrent (although it's not as quick as the Virgin mirror, getting about 300KB compared to 2MB/sec) but I'm not in a major hurry. I am planning on reinstalling tonight on a new hard drive (my current laptop drive is failing and I have a shiney new drive, I just wanted to wait for the full release before swapping it out).

[ubuntu-uk] Acer Ferrari One - First Hurdle Failure
Hello guys, I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 into a 20 gig partition on my Acer Ferrari One Netbook. It worked perfectly, the installer, ran it from a USB so it was really quick, a great experience. Sadly from there on it only got worse, once I had removed the drive from the system, and rebooted, it would pass GRUB2, then load Ubuntu, and on the last bit where you can see the mouse on the loading screen, the Ubuntu login sound plays, and the mouse works, and then the end of the Ubuntu theme repeats about 4 times, sounded like rap- but better. Then the machine froze on that loading screen with the mouse on display, immobile. I couldn't even turn caps lock on, which is usually a dead certainty something has gone wrong. I wish I could give you more information, but I honestly can't, that is all that happens. No errors on load, it just crashes. Machine spec: AMD Athlon X2 L310 1.2GHz 2GB DDR2 250GB Toshiba drive ATI 3200HD graphics - I think this is most likely the culprit. (my opinion) Windows 7 in most of it, 20 gig for Ubuntu Any help would be really appreciated, I can't wait to get stuck in :) Thanks, Kris Douglas, NODE Computer Systems Web Hosting, Design and Server Administration, Technical Support Computer Construction T. 01200438449 M. 07728574285 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Acer Ferrari One - First Hurdle Failure
Hi, Then the machine froze on that loading screen with the mouse on display, immobile. I couldn't even turn caps lock on, which is usually a dead certainty something has gone wrong. Can you hit the ALT+CTRL+F1 key to get a terminal? You can then access /var/log to take a look in the logs. The Xorg logs may have something, personally I dont understand those logs much myself, but someone on here or the ubuntuforums will be able to help. Also running sudo lshw will give useful output on hardware if you get to the command line. I wish I could give you more information, but I honestly can't, that is all that happens. No errors on load, it just crashes. Machine spec: AMD Athlon X2 L310 1.2GHz 2GB DDR2 250GB Toshiba drive ATI 3200HD graphics - I think this is most likely the culprit. (my opinion) Windows 7 in most of it, 20 gig for Ubuntu Try searching the ubuntu forums for this card if you think its the graphics. Can you try booting and running from a Live CD? How does that work? Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
