| f5 | <deleted><reply> Remember that every time you hit refresh, Canonical is wasting money, bandwidth, and CPU time serving your request instead of doing useful things like uploading the image or paying for ShipIt disks. Please do so sparingly. | tonyyarusso Added on: 2007-10-18 04:30:57 Last edited by Pici Last modified: 2014-04-17 15:53:18 Requested 77 times |

| stages | <reply> The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. | Hobbsee Added on: 2007-10-06 16:47:05 Last edited by Hobbsee Last modified: 2007-10-06 16:48:34 Requested 310 times |
