Possible on fail to boot. Not on other thing. And fail to boot
problem has gone away. (I rubbed Aloe Vera on the keyboard)<br>

<div>nstalled 9.10 the other day on my Aspire5100 laptop. Did it
as an
upgrade<br>
<br>
It is much improved over 8.10. Faster in all ways. A lot less memory
leakage. Swap memory stops at under 10% as opposed to 30% in 8.10
Also got wireless to work. There was an issue with the screen going
into a flicker after combing back from sleep, but that hardly ever
happens now. Some combination of my using <br>
<br>
sudo /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank<br>
<br>
and the system just not going to sleep on its own.<br>
<br>
I found the screenblank as a suggestion. but not as a real solution<br>
I sometimes still get a flicker<br>
<br>
I do have a newly discovered problem with gedit. The editor comes up
but only after:<br>
doug@doug-laptop:~$ gedit<br>
<br>
<br>
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/">http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/</a>
for information. (Details - 1: Server
ping error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0)<br>
<br>
the above message is repeated exactly 33 times (determined by doing a
search on the string, counting, and finally doing a search and replace
and then having the system number the replacement.) I wanted certainty
and did not want anyone needing to look through all 33 messages.<br>

So, anybody got any ideas. What does gedit have to do with any of

<br>
thanks.<br>
<br>
One more thing. On occasion my system fails to boot. I mean it does
not even get to any script on the black screen. I have then been able
to boot by using a live disk. Even that may take more than one try.<br>
Has not happened in over a week, but still...<br>
<br>
Thanks
