I thought I had read that, at least on some machines, only USB would
work with UEFI. Also it /must/ be the 64 bit version of ubunt
nal. I ask because earlier I
think you said the disk light was going mad, which is a symptom of
swapping. With 4GB of RAM it should not need to swap.

It is unusual though to see half a gig in swap when less than half of
the RAM is is use, is it not? For example mine has been on all day
and is still showing zero swap (I have 4GB RAM). Does it not mean
that at some point something has been using a lot?

It has been like that for some time. It will install updates (and why
should it not) but, I believe, will not install any new packages
(which is sometimes required by an update) without requiring

The cringing is because you accept in principle that you should have

prevent you doing this, and that the backups you do have are not
usable if you loose the laptop. What happens if the laptop goes up in

in the last few days trying to get 13.10 ou

it worked with 13.04 (which I guess was 64 bit) then 13.10 should be
