always do, booted up Ubuntu, got to the log in screen, entered my

Another thing worth a go is to install Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras. Can't recall
having to install LAME manually for ages so imagine this probably includes it &
perhaps other encoders/codecs which may be relevant to your prob.

These are all good, but I can't seem to find an 'unlimited' plan on any of

That many minutes for only £5 is very hard to match, no doubt Skype is
somehow doing that at a loss.

If that's a pretty good contender to being the problem I will wipe the

It's not recommended to go directly from 10.04 to 11.10, but you can
certainly try, you do get to keep the pieces when they break.
Alternatively you could go 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10.

I assume they will be doing what most 'unlimited' providers do, and giving
the heavy users the unused minutes from the lighter users.
Pretty sure that's how unlimited plans work? Anything similar I can get?
It's going to become very costly on pay as you go

As "3" are currently promoting Skype, it is free over a "3" phone with all

Hi Michael,
Skype is what I use at the moment, but the quality of the call isn't
anywhere near as good as I'm getting using SIP. Also the fact Skype for
Linux doesn't work very well for me, and the fact I'm on a contract with O2
at the moment would probably make that a no go.

I can confirm having had the same problem. Also on 11.04, also

Hi!
I would be very surprised if this is not a problem with graphics card

partition?). Just a thought...

RAM. Worked fine, if sluggishly, and shows how
I have just rebooted a machine, and it lost the ability to resolve

Well, I did have them listed in there.
Now I have run
