I did find another bug in Ubuntu Hardy, but couldn't figure out whether it was already known, nor how to report it. Any suggestions? It is the Molecule screensaver. The first time that the screensaver is run, it does some preliminary "calculating molecules" which freezes the machine. I have no keyboard, no mouse, no terminal windows (not even from ctrl-alt-Fn) no ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of X, nothing. Just a full black screen wint "Calculating Molecules " at the top. I suspect it's a peculiarity of the video card (ATI Rage 128), but have neither the skill nor resources to really track this down. Molecules works great on Dapper/Nvidia. I much appreciate your thoughtfulness in contacting me on the Synaptic glitch. Sincerely, Charles A.
