> > Hi all,

> > Quite some time back (January?), Sanjay and I began setting up an
> > Ubuntu lab at Kid Power.  Six computers, I think.  Recently, we were
> > able to get back to them and *ALMOST* finish the upgrading to Lucid.
> >
> > Unfortunately, I've been a bit overbooked.  This week, our department
> > at work is being moved out of our current digs, much to our
> > displeasure.  Next week I'll be in Rochester.  So, if anyone has some
> > free time in the next two weeks to go in and finish what we started,
> > it would be much appreciated.  According to Erin Gordon, who is our
> > contact at Kid Power:
> >
> > "Two of the computers in the lab that I believe were set up are giving
> > us some difficulties. Ubuntu appears to load (the background screen
> > comes up) but none of the icons load. I think this was happening with
> > one of them that Kevin was working on and if I recall you thought the
> > monitor wasn't connecting with the computer properly."
> >
> > She also asked if we know a good place to take old monitors to be
> > recycled in the next week or two.  (These are the heavier, CRT
> > monitors to the best of my knowledge.)
> >
> > As I recall, the issue with one of the machines was that it's having
> > trouble determining the video mode and fails to launch X, leaving you
> > at the text login prompt.  I don't recall what the issue with the
> > other computer is.
