(Get the code!)
I couldn't resist the temptation to download Jaunty so I have downloaded it and installed it on a USB memory stick and am able to use the memory stick to boot two different computers. I changed the graphics card driver to the 180 version and had some surprising results. On one computer I had no problems at all but the other one would not boot. I got a list of what was happening:-
"Starting System Tools backends
Starting anac(h)ronistic Cron
Starting deferred execution scheduler
Starting periodic command scheduler
Checking battery state..
/dev/sda Setting Advanced Power Management to 0xfe (254)
/dev/sdb Setting Advanced Power Management to 0xfe (254) "
and that is all that happened. I tried several times but it would not continue with the boot up beyond that point. However when I booted the other computer and removed the 180 and then tried again in the machine that would not boot previously, it booted successfully and did not give a list of what was happening.
So, although I thought that there may have been a bug in the video driver in Ubuntu it looks as if it is my machine that is at fault. The one that doesn't give trouble has a Gigabyte motheboard with a VIA chipset, an LCD monitor, 1.5 GB RAM and an AMD Athlon XP2600+ processor
The newer machine has an Asus motherboard with an Nvidia nforce 750i SLI chipset , 2GB RAM, an HP w1907 LCD monitor and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
The information that you wanted isn't available, presumably because the machine wouldn't boot.
I hope that this information is of some use.
