Hi Robbie, yes, I have an ATI/Radeon RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] graphics card. Possibly due to this, I can't boot normally; I lose the use of the keyboard & mouse at the sign-on stage & have to use the restart button & do the following. (I submitted bug report #580755 on this, but I am the only subscriber, so it is still in the new/undecided/unassigned states).
I have to use a very strange boot process. (select the failsafe kernel, select boot in failsafe mode, start X, then basic sign-on with only my user (acceptable)). For the first failsafe boot after "shut-down, shut-down", I then need to start CUPS; I also start hplip. When I usually shut-down, I use "hibernate"; then the PC starts with all of what I need working. My PC is 5 years old, with a single core 2.8 Ghz Intel processor & 2 GB of RAM. I have been using Ubuntu for 4 of those years (upgrading regularly to the latest version), previously with far fewer problems than with 10.04. I am not much more than a basic end-user, who has had to learn much more than I did with MS Windows. I submitted my CUPS problem on #590551, but this was recognised as a duplicate of #554172. I have not tried the 3-step workaround, as I am not confident of recovering if I make an error (this happened recently on my Myth PC, when I tried to implement a suggested fix/workaround on 9.10. It failed miserably, & just left me some strange state, with lots of lines of output. I couldn't fix things because the HDD had reached its limit for checking (fsck), & the system wouldn't mount (?) it, so I couldn't restore the back-up of the file I changed. Garry Leach.
