They’re doing TV ads for Bing too.

I actually quite like the IE8/W7 campaign – it’s clever, informative, and to the point. Not so convinced by the Bing ads.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say this again, Vista is the best operating system by MS. Never before have so many users moved to Linux

Yeah, I’ve seen the IE8 advert on German TV.

I also agree with nnonix that you should have a change in your sleeping habits. I also have the same problem from time to time. Nevertheless I think that you have to clear your brain and sleeping really helps to get motivation back, in my opinion. Or you do something completeley different from your work just to clear your thoughts as well…..wish you all the best

Just upgraded one box to Lucid at the weekend there and hit the exact same problem. Ubiquity unexpectedly closed after setting up the partitions for root, home and swap. Nothing complex.

Also had to run gparted on the live disk first, then simply allocate the partitions mount points in Ubiquity.

If you log a bug, I’ll me-too it. I haven’t done one yet.

Frankly, I’ve always used GParted before I install simply because the Ubiquity partitioner died on me once and took my partition table with it. Some work with testdisk brought it back.

Also, the installer’s partition manager shows nothing about extended partitions or primary partitions and that’s kind of odd.

I wished I could google that kind of question, but I find that it takes considerable introspection just to make a sensible guess as to what can cause this.

As for myself, I learned to turn off the computer and picked up other hobbies, no matter whether or not I could afford it. I believe there can be something relatively alienating about coding. I even get mad at coders who want to be great programmers when the emotional balance isn’t there. You may not want to get to that point.
