Hi all;
After installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 beta on my netbook last
night, I've found it impossible to delete files using the new file
manager (By clicking the file icon in the launcher). I've tried right
clicking, dragging it to the trash, pressing DEL, even the key
betweenn altGR and C

OK, tried this once last week and crashed and burned with an ATI flgrx
problem. As it was a new install I just chickened out and reinstalled.
So, what is the best way to go about this, any recommendations? I have a
spare partition, currently formatted to fat32 and was wondering if

Upgrade ignores some packages and dost-upgrade tries to do more.
Aptitude is often said to be better and supports safe-upgrade and
full-upgrade as the equivalents to the above apt-get commands. Aptitude is
said to have a better dependency resolution algorithm.

That's not the case on all servers, but on those where it is, any of
the other methods outlined will work.

Hi Daniel / All
Manchester will be hosting an Ubuntu 10.10 release party, which will most
likely incorporate an installfest.
I am currently organising an Ubuntu stand for Software Freedom Day at Madlab

If I can offer any assistance / advice then please do let me know.

Do you guys know of any businesses willing to sponsor a Ubuntu Installfest

when you do the power pull, you could have data corruption for
anything that's not written to the filesystem (the details of this are
a) very boring and b) vary by filesystem.
To avoid problems, stop (or kill) all running programs, and do:

Ctrl+Alt+Del, comes up with a dialog box where you can select
"shutdown". Selecting "shutdown" will shutdown the computer neatly and
switch it off. No need to switch it off yourself.

Having had someone mention this problem to me and solved it via a hard
shut down, my advice was to NEVER hard shutdown, but to press
ctrl+alt+delete and select shutdown from the dialog box that appears.
That worked perfectly and seems to be the simplest option which does
not involve the command lin

Hi,
Once again I lost my shutdown function; not only did shutdown vanish
from my main menu, but when I added the Session Indicator Applet to the
panel, the shutdown option on this did not work either; only the user
switcher option worked. Therefore, I had to shutdown by pressing and
