(Sorry to see you are having backlight problems) FWIW, when I left Windows for linux based systems, I found that re installing the whole thing was much easier than I had expected, and when the time came, when my ambitions exceeded my experience (easily done for me) and things screwed up, I regularly then just re installed. It had not been a problem in Windows because the entry of the password did not have the same significance as it has in GNU/Linux based stuff. I do not think I saw a mention of Live sessions in your posts. I would certainly consider using live sessions - live CD, USB etc, to explore the initial offerings. For example onieric alpha 2, in live USB, runs the graphics well in a machine I have which was completely pants in 11.04 for that particular machine. Good luck. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
