Karstein:
Your Dell monitor is about the same age as mine. Dell E772C. Check for
graphics card info. Hardy beta listed as as having problems with i845
graphics card, which is standard Dell board for my E772C. Check out
this link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i915Driver I am new at
this and may be wrong. However I went through a similar problem today.
I corrected it with the good help from this list. Mine was running a
generic driver. I used GUI Xserver Xorg to change driver to i815 and
back up. I will hunt down i915 driver soon.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you don't need a running Windows to install Ubuntu. Just boot from
the Ubuntu installation CD.

There are other tools to give filesystems a label. See here:
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive>
And about the error message you mentioned in the other mail: I gave my USB
stick the same label you had, but it was mounted without error (using
Kubuntu 8.04). Maybe it is a problem with 7.10. I suppose that would be
the lower case letters then. If I give my USB stick a label using
Windows, it is all upper case although it is displayed as mixed
upper/lower case. Try to rename the partition to LD142EXT3 instead of
LD142ext3 and check if the error message persists.

Young how? The tool itself has been around a while. It is developed
by Pentaho, and was made available in OpenOffice.org through an
agreement Pentaho made with Sun over a year ago with OpenOffice.org
2.3 (you can read about this agreement on the Pentaho website). It is
not a "new" tool... just relatively new to OpenOffice.org.

Hey
I'm having a problem with my dual screen setup ( not as easy as in windows
).
I'm trying to have an extended desktop (just like in windows )
That's the only thing i really miss in ubuntu.
I have an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics
Controller.
My laptop is a fujitsu lifebook s6410 and my second display is a samsung
2032mw.
The screen resolution program only gives me a max resolution of 1280*1024
while i should be able to do 1680x1050.
My laptop screen does 1280*800.
I hope someone could help me out.
Thanks
Pieter

OpenOffice isn't RAM intensive?? You can't be serious! Sounds like the
problem I occasionally get. Try SSHing in from a laptop/other
computer, and
$ killall -9 compiz.real
Might get you your system back, but you'll have to relogin to get
wobbles etc back.

Yes, some parts are a bit out of date, but most oft the book is still
fine.
You may safely ignore the chapter about hardware ;-) The chapters
about configuring specific software usually could give you some basic
idea what's it about, but you should cponsult the software's docs to
do the real work. On most systems lpr and lilo are replaced by CUPS
and grub, so you may ignore that chapters. uucp is hardly used any
more. In the chapters about the kernel and X some important modern
things are missing (like udev, 3D graphics support).

Is it just firefox? Definately not a problem with your window manager?
You could have a class definition in compiz configuration to treat
firefox differently. Do you have Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
Manager installed?
