Hi My first post here, but I watch a lot! I had the same problem with a lock up when the screen saver kicks in, but with 8.04 immediately after using envyng-gtk to install the latest ATI drivers. Not only were the drivers no good for 3D but the screensaver problem occured. Maybe its a driver

[ubuntu-uk] Issues after upgrade to 8.10

Did an upgrade to 8.10 from .04, upgrade went fine. BUT now when the screensaver kicks in it will not wake up again, the screen shows the backdrop but no login or desktop, and keyboard is frozen. Only solution so far has been the power button to force a shutdown, so system is not halted just not

Thanks Michael, I'll try to perhaps bring in the legacy drivers from the Hardy repos onto a new Ibex system, and I may file a bug at Launchpad regarding the situation. Mike 2008/11/2 Michael Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Short answer is no. Long answer is that for me it was fixed in an update

Re: [ubuntu-uk] more issues with 8.10

Am I the only one who is quick enough to remove the CD befor the tray closes? Or perhaps my DVD drive is a sjuggish mover! My classification for this bug is 'irritating'. The importance of fixing bugs like this quickly is to protect Ubuntu's reputation. Tony -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com

Having read of some of the woes stemming from the upgrade I thought I had better take the plunge and see what happens. So, this morning I did the necessary to my laptop, and all went like a charm. I am now having a rest from trying out various applications that I would expect to use and, so far,
