Re: Fwd: Oneiric Alpha 1 images - ready for testing

2011-06-02 Thread Joseph Areeda
I thought I'd try Oneric inside VirtualBox. I don't really have a machine I can dedicate although I have enough disk space open to dedicate a partition when it's stable enough. I am having trouble opening Unity (2D) applications. A little poking around and I found this in /var/log/kern.log > Ju

James, How did you modify grub for backlighting? Is there a thread or a wiki page on how to do it? I never did get it to work on my Thinkpad 510 with Lucid or Maverick. Until I get better dependability on my desktop, I can't risk my laptop. Joe On 03/27/2011 10:58 AM, James Gifford wrote:

business things things seem incomprehensible and overwhelming one minute then trivial and obvious the next. That makes it real hard for those of you who know what you're doing to communicate to those of us who haven't had that AHA moment. You've been a big help. Thanks! Joe On 03/18/
