Invalid is an approach or example that is flawed and does not lead to the correct solution of the problem. An invalid approach would be to simplify the expression from left to right, disregarding the order of operations. A valid approach would be to simplify the expression using the order of operat

What is this? Is this the way to solve problems now? First the responsible teams just ignores the bug long enough, then the QA team says that since Gutsy is now released it's too late to fix it and sends it to the next release which will not include the same source (which I'm pretty sure was know

For me it's been enough to remove the vga=xxx option to restore the full functionality of the ttys. I've got an Acer Aspire 5680 laptop, with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600SE graphics card and Ubuntu Gutsy Desktop x86. BTW, the vga=xxx option is set easily by the StartUp-Manager, who I think was the firs

Just tried LeGreffi3R's fix for Gutsy, and it works fine for me with NVidia GeForce 2 MX200, except that the tty displays are offset a little from the position of the X display - this problem first appeared in the later Feisty kernels. I must say I'm a bit miffed at being expected to wait 6 months
