Re: [PLUG] Upgrading Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04

In the past, when I have had tough problems like yours, I have found solutions on the IRC channel. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chat By the way, I upgraded ubuntu (gnome) from 9.10 to 10.04 on my Toshiba laptop. My laptop does not have NVIDIA graphics, however. I used the release CD.

What Nvidia card are you using? I have an Nvidia 9800 and it runs great. On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 2:48 PM, Joe Shisei Niski wrote: > > On 06/24/2010 01:02 PM, Richard C. Steffens wrote: > > Over the past few months, as I've had spare time, I've installed a > > couple of versions of Ubuntu on a spa
