You can always rule out a memory fault by running memtest86 overnight
from the LiveCD (or the boot menu if you've installed Ubuntu on the
machine already).

Be aware virtualising the machine might not solve the blue screen issue.
You might just end up converting a broken laptop into a virtual broken
laptop.

Hi, I can tell you for a fact its an Intel Pro/Wireless AGN

Who publishes that?
Wasn't in our Smiths... I was in there a couple of days ago and would
have noticed it...

I have posted this on the Ubuntu support forums, but to see if I speed
up getting help, I have also posted it here. This is a Thikpad T42,
and was working fine before the upgrade and although I allowed
Synaptic to manage the upgrade, I have, since it broke, booted from an

I'm using Virtualbox, btw, to test things on Windows 7 - and very nice
it is too. I think Microsoft may have finally got things right again,
after all the bad publicity Vista attracted.

Virtual machine is something like Sun's Virtualbox or VMWare.
Virtualbox is, imho, better for running things like Linux.

Let's say you install Virtualbox on a Vista machine. You then go into
it and say "Create Virtual Machine"

Recently, I spent a lot of time trying to find a decent (easy) way to do
it, and VMWare's P2V (free) is by far the easiest. Other ways are
painfully slow(er) and complicated.
It worked fine fir Vista64, but for use in VMWare server/workstation.
You can probably use qemu to convert the disk to Vir

Another option, of course, is to run a "proper non-Wubifried" version
of Ubuntu in a virtual machine - just let it use the whole virtual
disk. Then you can have Windows and Linux running together at the
same time, which can be useful.

I don't understand why you would have had know anything about
partitioning, John - the Ubuntu installer will do that for you.
You just tell it how much space you want to allocate to Ubuntu and it
"steals" it out of the free space on the existing partition.

I understand that the write-protect tab on SD cards is optional:

tab
However, when I use an SD card without a tab (no tab at all) on my Linux

That would make se
Check what socket you are using on the hub are you connected to the
