I have posted about 3 or 4 things to Launchpad, and none of them have been answered, I keep getting messages saying that they have been closed due to inactivity, so you will have to excuse my reluctance to post there. Its an upgrade. How can I go back to 8.04, is it easy? Thanks. John.

Its the first time I've posted on here. I tried to install 8.10 on my laptop but when the desktop tried to open, it sticks, and it wont start. I wondered if it was a problem with my laptop or if it was another problem. Can any body help please. Thank you. John. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> What make/model is your laptop? (These problems are often hardware related.) Is this the first time you have installed Ubuntu on it? Or was it an upgrade? If not an upgrade, how did you install it? If you do Ctrl-Alt-1, do you get a console?
