I may have asked about this before, as I've had the same problem with Feisty on a different box. There, it eventually just stopped, without any explanation. (So I never did get round to filing a bug report.) I'm getting repeated update notifications about a module called libpath-class-perl

[ubuntu-uk] Odd behaviour of system clock

I recently set up a dual boot system with Fiesty and WinXP on separate drives. (Previously, I've used various versions of Ubuntu as the only OS on a laptop and a desktop.) I've just noticed on the dual boot system that when I restart XP after using Ubuntu the system clock appears to have lost

I wonder if anyone can advise re this. I'm not getting copies of my own posts to the list, though my subscription options have this set. Sorry to post about an admin matter, but I've e-mailed the listowners twice about this, and had no reply. Any suggestions about fixing this would be most we

I'm a newcomer here, and to Linux. I just successfully upgraded an elderly Compaq desktop from 6.10 to 7.04. But the update manager keeps telling me there's an update to install: libpath-class-perl - but it wants to upgrade to the version already installed: 'from ver 0.51-1 to ver 0.51-1'. Wh
