First: remember that 8.10 will not install at all because of the [258.772014]BUG: soft lockup -CPU #0 stuck for 61s ! problem.
Second: although you may know all the ins and outs of this system, I was attracted to Ubunto because of ease of use. What appears to be required is not for novices. Third: Even if I get 8.04.1 to install, would I then be unable to upgrade to 8.10 without having all of these problems return? I have wasted two days trying to get this working, so unless there is going to be a patched version that fixes the problem, then I doubt whether Ubunto is going to work for me. @Per: Thanks Per, I did try to do everything as you described, but as you know it may not have gone exactly as you would expect. I ended up with my screen going completely white and not being able to see anything @Teej: I cannot get the O/S to work so operations like cut and paste, or print, or attach to post, or connect to internet are not possible. -- ThinkPad A21p - Screen Resolution Problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
