I have a system running a fresh install of 8.04, I haven't messed with it
much but it doesn't seem to be having the same problem. Even so I've
changed the interval to 30 seconds. Is that too much ?
The system running 9.04 is in for a plug pulling session I think. I'll
reinstall off the cd. I

I'd just like to say a particular big "Thank you" to the Ubuntu devs as
the built-in WiFi card on my Advent 4211 netbook is now working, now
that I've upgraded to 9.04.
The WiFi card hadn't been detected in 8.04 or 8.10, and although I'd
tried to follow the instructions on the MSI Wind wiki (the A

Yeah, like your little network would make any significant difference to the
capabilities of Microsofts. Lets try to be realistic here. Denial of service is
just another form censorship.

Hi
I'm still running 8.04; a little while after installing it I found I
needed to increase the default setting for updating information about
file systems (Edit -> Preferences -> File Systems -> Update interval in
seconds).
That fixed it for me.

Hi, I finally took the plunge, reformatted my harddrive on my laptop,
and installed Ubuntu 9.04 through wubi on an xp machine. It installed
the very basic verion, so there arent any compiz capabilities, which are
fine by me, at least I can use Ubuntu on my laptop now.
