Hello Coffeecat,
My launchpad account uses this email address and has ckx as username. Could you set things so that Ubuntu forums uses that username? Alternatives: JHCKX or Eckxecutioner.

The 50 post limit may help keep spammers out of the Ubuntu forums but it's not stopping them from finding me! I changed my username at launchpad long ago but that apparently has no effect on the...
Include gnome-fallback in the installation so you can revert to text menus.
It would be even better if you could switch between the text menu interface and the Unity icon-based interface without...
I've had problems with the Xpress 200M as well. Apparently, there's a propietary driver available for Ubuntu 8.04. From 9.04 on, ATI stopped providing the propietary driver for older cards such as...
Use ppa-purge to remove the xorg-edgers programs. When you restart, the standard Xorg drivers will be re-installed. After that, you could re-install the xorg-ppa.
Command:
sudo ppa-purge...
Sorry to hear you had so much trouble. Strange, xorg-edgers works just fine on my machine. But if I recommend it to anyone else, I'll be sure to tell them about ppa-purge as well.
I've found that Ubuntu 10.04 had poorer video performance on my Packard Bell EasyNote MZ35 compared to Ubuntu 9.04. Installing the Xorg-edgers PPA solved this. That gives you the latest versions of...
The fgrlx driver is for ATI proprietary drivers. They've stopped making these for older cards like the Xpress 200m but continue to support other cards.

I haven't had problems as bad as yours (I have a Packard Bell MZ35 laptop with a Radeon Xpress 200M video card) but I have noticed that video performance in 10.04 was slower than with 9.04 (9.10...
10.04 works but video performance is slower on my machine than using 9.04. See

My Packard Bell EasyNote MZ35 laptop also has an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M video card. Suspend has never worked on this machine, graphics performance was pokey using Ubuntu 8.10, better using Ubuntu...
Hi Sinbad,
For what it's worth, I've got an Acer Aspire One D250-Bk which apparently has a GMA 950 video controller. I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 without any problems. There is one glitch I've come...
What's so hard? Ubuntu 9.10 uses grub2, a quick google of "ubuntu grub2 configure" points to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
Detailed instructions there, including the following: "Some of...
I did a downgrade last night. If you've made a backup of your home directory, you can copy all the files from the backup to your new home directory, then you're (almost) all set. In my case, my old...
Bad news. I'd done a clean re-install yesterday and it seemed to work but today I can't boot. Looks like I'll have to re-install 9.04
This is a very strange problem. I discovered by accident that my computer would boot if I connected a usb hub with a mouse and keyboard attached. Without that hub the same problem kept occurring. But...
I've updated Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 today but now I can't boot into Ubuntu. If I choose Ubuntu 9.10 - recovery mode, my computer hangs at:
