I've suddenly started having a problem that may be related to the above. If I create a LaTeX doc---A4 landscape---compile and display, evince (and other viewers), display it in what looks like 'letter' format though all the defaults that I know of are set for A4. However, when I opt to print and c

I'm using an old Dell Latitude C600, with an ATI Mobility 128 graphics chip. The 'bug' --- random freeze ups on shutdown, with the screen progressively whitening out --- has occured on this machine as long as I have had Ubuntu on it (3 or so years). I have used other distros for short periods, but

Hi Saïvann, Sorry about this; it's all got pushed into the background by other things. 1. If you disable usplash from the Grub menu.lst file, do you still get this problem (I just want to make sure). Yes, the problem remains, though if I can switch cleanly into a virtual terminal (Alt+F1) there

I'm afraid this problem has reappeared (at least for me) in the Hardy beta. I used to have it regularly in earlier versions of ubuntu, but not in Gutsy, nor, I think, in Feisty. It's a Dell Latitude C600 with an ATI Mobility 128 graphics chipset. The boot process, with or without splash, is fine,

Jergen, you may well be right. When I first posted the description of bug #71004 fitted my experience. Now I have installed the Hardy beta. It's only been in for 24 hours but the results so far are not encouraging, so perhaps there is some kind of hardware fault (I don't think so as the graphics r
