9.10 boot up and video problems
 

Hello,

Sunday I wrote that my boot up problem was no more.

I was wrong. After using the computer for maybe five hours
it again flaked out. Lost all the icons on the screen. When I
did a cold turn off and restart I got the message again:
"Reboot and select Proper boot device - or insert boot media
and press any key". I was in the process of writing an e/m note,
which I lost.

I tried to reboot a few times then gave up and worked off of the
try out version on the Ubuntu 9.04 disk that I got with the
'Linux Starter Kit' magazine.

This morning I decided to try again. An hour ago, I turned the
computer on. It booted up normal. I am going to copy crucial
files (e/m, pictures and browser favorite to a thumb drive and
then try to fix the problem. This might mean going back to
9.04, which was working OK.

I got an answer from someone on how to locate the Firebird file.
Where is the Firefox favorites located?

Thomas

When I set up a new version I have to transfer all my stuff
to that version and I do that by replacing the
/home/name/.mozilla-thunderbird with the one from your
previous version.

OH!

Sorry. I thought that I deleted all of the content for the existing
thread and
made it a fresh blank email.

Sorry too, but what you did doesn't start a new thread. It just
continues on the original thread and confuses everybody. As you were
told, You must start a new compose email to Ubuntu Users list with your
own subject to start a new thread. What's so hard about doing that.
