... on the other hand, if Karl ever decide to stop posting, this list
would somehow lose a bit of its flavour...

The 1st step I always follow after any install is to allow the default
tool to install all updates available. In ubuntu, this would be
synaptic. Applying these updates may have given you the current nVidia
drivers as described...

I know how to fix it. My complaint is that using the LiveCD I
installed 8.10 and two automatic things failed to work. These things
worked fine on Hardy.

Look at the thread...

David asked if you applied updates and you responded that you didn't
know how.

Now you know how, must be a momentary lapse that caused you to post that
you didn't know...

I fooled around with the nVidia problem today and managed to get the
wrong nVidia version installed. I used 173 which was the one it wanted,
and this one causes a thin line at the top of the screen.

To fix this I will have to mount 8.10 to this computer and hand
modify the video system back to the broken driver that comes with
Ubuntu. Then try to load the right driver which I have zero idea which
is right!

If I was a newby just from windows trying 8.10 on a computer that
supports windows fine but does this to them when they try Ubuntu, you
wonder why so many go back to windows?
