Regarding rebooting, in recent times reboot(8) has short-circuited the
process. It seems to run the new kernel directly whereas in the
Hi Terry,
I have just had to do the same thing on my work laptop which is now
running Ubuntu 9.10. I'm not sure if this is the same in Kubuntu but
here's the way I did it:
Install StartUp-Manager. This can be found in Ubuntu Software Centre, or
by running 'apt-get install startupmanager' if yo

Actually, you hijacked another thread, but now I'm being pernickety.
Must be I'm grouchy on account of my mini-itx box keeling over today!

Okay. Replaced the .NET BinaryReader with stdio.h getc; works fine now.
Oddly enough it's only the reading of the BMP header that was the problem.
Once you start the actual byte-to-nibble conversion and reversion,
everything works fine with the .NET readbyte functions.
Shame .NET isn't quite perfe

I have a utility that strips data bytes out of a bitmap. It doesn't have a
problem with any bitmap except those found by a Google image search of
Starbucks, or files with Starbucks in the name.
You can convert any of these files quite freely between
forms(GIF,TIFF,JPG,BMP) or edit the image in P

I also did the Upgrade over the air/Internet on Friday. Now I don't have any

KDE 4.3 is a big improvement on 4.2 (I'm in the Fedora camp over here).
Much more stable and many of the quirks ironed out. Thats not to say its
"finished" yet, just at a point where its useable.

If anybody wants to get really angry, I've got some news about Starbucks; if
you do an image search for Starbucks, you find that any conversion to bitmap
is protected from binary read at the stream buffer level. It is only

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the review. I have been using Kubuntu 9.04 far about three months &
will be very glad to get away from KDE 4.2. This was the first distro that made
me think what a good system MS-Windows is, it's one of those distro versions
that should have been strangled at birth. However
Hi,
My upgrades to Kubuntu 9.10 didn't *all* go smoothly; my wife's Mesh (64 bit
Dual-core Athlon) locked up halfway through installation, with the inevitable
result of an unusable machine. I still don't know what went wrong, but I'm
always ready to do a clean install, so I grabbed the 64 bit
Hello,
I should be able to get to Dorchester this month. I'll be driving from
Bournemouth and currently have 3 spare seats if anyone would like a lift.
Diesel money would be nice - a coke would do ;) - but isn't necessary.
Drop me an email with your address if you'd like me to pick you up alo

Terry,
The only thing that niggled me about doing an upgrade is that you
are still left with ext3 filesystem rather than ext4 whcih is now
default.
I changed my netbook to ext4 and found this even faster.
Or did you convert the filesystem?
