Hi -- so this is being typed from an Ubuntu VM under Mac OSX.
I've given up the hope of dual-booting for now -- maybe I'll try again
sometime later with 10.04.
However, I have 8 gig RAM on my MBP, yet seem only to be able to assign less
than 4 gig to my ubuntu image in VirtualBox -- I'm guessing be

updates available for all *but* my model (MBP 5,4), so it looks like I'm
going to have to talk to someone at Apple to find out what firmware package
I can use.

Hi -- I'm running Ubuntu on my Macbook (3,1), and the sound is incredibly
quiet.
I've read that this is a known issue, but was wondering if anyone knows of a
fix for it.
I've not managed to find anything that suggests there is.
Cheers,
Doug.

Hi -- my google-fu is apparently weak!
I've been trying to find out how to handle mouse mapping in Ubuntu, as I
want to remove the mouse middle & right clicks from the f11 and f12 keys.
For some reason, this happens as standard on a mac with ubuntu, but
obviously gets in the way of fullscreen funct
Jacob -- that fixed it, cheers -- and you were right about Gnome-go.
Thanks,
Doug.

Can anyone advise me on how to get it into applications & Gnome-do?
Thanks,
Doug.

Hi, I've installed the app FreeMind through Synaptic, so that should be all
good & canonical.
However, I can't seem to find it in either the Applications tab or with
Gnome-go.
(I even tried a restart -- hang up from my M$ days!)
Can anyone advise me on where it might be & how maybe I should get the
king external drive to the internal, and all
was well.
Grief!
I'm going to do the Ubuntu install again some time when the adrenaline has
worn off!
Cheers,
Doug.

Hi -- I tried last night to install Ubuntu on an external FW drive on my
Macbook.It wouldn't reboot from the external drive, and managed to kill the
install on my main HD -- hopefully the drive itself is ok, but I'm not sure
(I can see it in the restore list).
I tried restoring from TimeMachine to
Signed -- cheers for setting that up. Doug.

Hi -- is there a good reason for Google warning me away from the Ubuntu
site?It's telling me that the site may harm my computer, then throwing me a
502 when I look for details.
Cheers,
Doug.
