I can help but I need to recreate the problem. What is it that you are trying to install and where can I find it? I will try it here locally and mebbe then I can help you out. I see that you have an issue with the package dependency. The software that you wish to install depends on conflicting software. Is it the latest version of the software that you want? Do you not have sources for the same - you could build from scratch... Share the link to the same so that we have a better idea.
For the Freeze mebbe u want to generate the crash dump using Alt + SysRq release SysRq and press 'c' keeping Alt pressed (SysRq is Print Screen usually). Then submit a bug report to ubuntu. But do try and update your system with the repositories below and then see if you still see the freeze. Coupla things: I hope the system that you use is up to date. You may want to add some more repositories if it is a 64 bit system then - http://anotherugly.wordpress.com/my-ubuntu-hardy-64-bit-sourceslist/ And generally for Hardy from - http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy I am not sure if these would help but these would get you support for most of the latest stuff. I got opera for 64 bit working before 9.51 came into picture. Let me know if any of this helps at all? -- Have a nice day, Mynk Saifi Khan wrote: > > Hi all: > > Those of the members using Ubuntu 8.04, please help out > Mr. V C Mohan with the issues he is facing as mentioned below. > > thanks > Saifi. > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: V.C.Mohan > Subject: UBUNTU8.04 problems > > Hi Saifi, > > I installed UBUNTU 8.04 on my system AMD X2 5.0+, Asus M2A VM HDMI mother > board, 2gb GSkill 800 RAM, 320 GB Seagate 7200 rpm SATA HDD, Linksys > WMP54G > wireless adapter PLEOMAX (samsung) keyboard and mouse.
