I am using Orca. I am in the partitioning section, and I select the free space, and it calls it /dev/sda5, and it will allow me to either set the file system area, mounted at /, or swap. When I select one, it removes the other. This is frustrating, why cannot I just tell it free space and have it create the swap area? This is touchy because I don't want to destroy /dev/sda1. Thanks for any assistance. Glenn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you trying to set up your swap or create the partition where you want to install Ubuntu? If you want to create the partition where you want to install Ubuntu then use like 38G of the 40G of free space and mount it at /. After that, go back in and select that 2G of free space you didn't use and mount that as swap. As long as you review everything you do and don't touch sda1, you should be fine.

This is a new computer. I am using Orca with Voxin, but that is not the problem. I am not sure what changed that causes this problem, but whenever I start up, I get a message from the keyring stating that an application is needing my password. As I enter my password, the message disappears and then I get a message that my WIFI connection is now disconnected. I went into users and groups, and went to advanced, and checked all the applications that could get approved by me, Wireless was not checked before, but this did not help, after restarting. I know my password is only five characters, and I hope I don't have to make it longer. In fact, I would rather not even have a password, as security is not really an issue here. Is there a good way to keep the keyring from killing my WIFI connection? Thanks for any suggestions. Glenn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
