Read this thread at the time and kind of thought I'd would stick to the Hardy

XP was booted up because it went wrong a few years back and the costs quoted to
fix put them off fixing it. So they stored this Pentium 4 c

Hi Simon,

The package used to be libcv1. It seems in 10.04 (Lucid) it's now
libcv4?

What problems do you have re-installing?

Good news on the meeting.
Meanwhile, the repos have caught up, the 'unavailable' cv1 has
disappeared and been replaced by cv4.
However, I have to re-link my apps, and that means configuring projects
in Eclipse. Currently finding the correct libraries to link to and
getting the IDE to notice the pat

I'm going to do a clean install. It's my netbook, so not much to lose.

I have used ndisrapper for the last year on my Eee pc because the ath5k

In other 10.04 related news: Firefox doesn't have Flash Player available
to install.
Instead, it has the Flash Player Installer available to install.
If you want the real thing, not Gnash etc, you have to install the

As the guy who started the thread, I have to say my first shot was an
upgrade from 9.10.
The main problem was that the Repositories didn't update the available
software for another day, so all the tests I was trying to run ended up

Nevertheless, as it is the LTS, I clean installe
