I've just installed my laptop with a fresh Ubuntu 9.10. I've tried both 32bit and 64bit.

Just after the install, i log in, take a system update (about 120Mb), and reboot. Then i go system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and install the Nvidia driver package. I've tried both the 173/185, and I've also downloaded and installed the newest 190 driver from the Nvidia site.

The problem with the 173 is that i get the log on sound, but Zero image. I get the terminal if i go ALT+CTRL+F1, no problem.

185 - I get the log on sound, and a torn image with white stripes. Nothing that i can watch and do something with, but just a fuzzy screen. I get the terminal, no problem.

190 - Same as the 185.

I'm a beginner in Ubuntu and I want to install Bulgarian language. I used to have Vista and I installed Flex Type, chose my language and clicked CTRL key and it used to change back and forth from English to Bulgarian. I don't know how to do that in Ubuntu.I know you go to System-> Preferences-> Keyboard->Layouts->choose your language. But then when i tired that i only write in Bulgarian on application. I can't write in Bulgarian on the web.I want to ahve Bulgarian and English language on my computer, but How? Please tell me what I have done wrong. THANKS :)

I have just submitted a video for the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase – ‘Ubuntu is Humanity’, you can see it at YouTube, or the OGG file is available below.

A few months ago (probably almost a year now I come to think about it) I blew up the second hard drive on my desktop -the larger one- which led to windows becoming unusably slow, probably something to do with the virtual memory being restricted to about 1GB of free hard drive space.

The Linux kernel is not updated very often to require removing old versions regularly. However, when a new version is released, sometimes you may want to remove the old version so as to save on the disk space used. I normally employ the following method when removing old kernels because it is quite thorough and can be mostly accomplished through a terminal window. If you are accustomed to going through the Synaptic Package Manager and manually marking old versions for removal, you may want to try this alternative.
