At this point I abort because I think that the installer is also picking
up the unallocated & Win7 recovery partitions & 5.9GB swap. If this is
the case then it's a pretty dangerous situation. I'll dig into it in
more detail tomorrow, but is anyone else seeing the same?
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 ntfs 208MB
/dev/sda2 ntfs 104857MB (Win7)
free space 2033MB
/deb/sda5 ext4 173236MB (this is my lucid)
free space 20975MB (this is the old maverick test partion)
/dev/sda6 swap 5969MB
/dev/sda3 ntfs 12788MB (Win7 recovery)
I can of course manually install to 'free space 20975MB', but the
differences in the 'Install alongside other operating systems' concerns
me. Why would it want to shrink my sda5?

And... silly me, I forgot to add that there is no sign of wireless once
I installed on the new partion. Previous Maverick had wireless working
just fine (but it was an lucid to maverick update so perhaps that is the
reason). Boot to the lucid partition & wireless is working from the
out-of-the-box install. Sigh..SOS... but we've now even more Ubuntu One
defaults & that should make things much better, eh?
OK, I'll stop blogging... wifi works *if* you boot to Win7, enable wifi
there, and then boot back to Maverick. Interesting that if you boot to
lucid and do the same it doesn't work. Obviously it's not bios or Win7
that's holding up the wifi detection as otherwise it wouldn't work in
lucid on the same machine.
Same Old S#$% from previous installs whereby this *still isn't* fixed.
If I get ambitious tomorrow I'll try to find the bug for this. Good luck
to all in the next 10.10 days...
Pretty obvious that none of the devs have wifi installed on their
computers to be able to test this........

To begin with, why don't you quote only what is necessary in any of your
responses and not quote the whole lot of unnecessary and irrelevant
material - like the signature lines, for example.

Ummm, if you had been reading this forum, you would have noted that the
devs use laptops - no desktops in sight.

Look forward all you want.....the problem NoOp mentioned, and which I
responded to, was all to do with Maverick. Repeat: *Maverick*. That is,
Ubuntu 10.10 which was made available today as Ubuntu 10.10 Release
Candidate, before 10.10's final release on 10 October.
Are you with me, Tree Person? :-) .

Relax. Lay back a little. Take it easy. Consider what is written - then

In this thread, I am not sure that it has anything to do with acpi - but
I may be absolutely wrong, as I don't have a laptop. Nevertheless, if
you thought that it had anything to do with acpi then you should have
mentioned this in one of your responses in this thread. And if you had
done so and I had missed it then I profusely apologise for this
transgression of mine.... (Being over the age of 25 years the mind plays
some funny tricks you know, especially in my case.)

You DO know why the insurance companies differentiate between motor
vehicle drivers aged 25 years and above and those below this age - and
have been doing so for many years?
No? Then go and do some research about this "discrimination" :-) .

Do you have something to contribute? If not I recommend that you toddle
off and do something else.
Good one, NoOp.
Still being affected by the sailing experience,eh?
OK, my addition to all this, I installed Maverick 10.10 RC1 *WITHOUT* a
single hitch - no seizures, no problems, no dramas.
I can view DVDs and digital TV without doing anything additional (it's
now all installed automatically after answering the question during
installing the CD Live.)
And all this on a an ancient system with 1/2GB of RAM.

That is a good benchmark to use. If old iron has no probs, it's
somewhere in his setup for FF ...maybe something like that Dictionary
add-on that might eat resources with a lot of memory demands. Ric
