1. No
2. Boot into Ubuntu via a USB stick, install gparted on it using Synaptic Package Manager (if not already installed). There are plenty of tutorials online for using gparted but let us know if you get stuck

Have a look at the Joggler's internal partitions with gparted & check that they are all there - they should be 61.05, 244.19, 244.19 and 431.06MB in size respectively. The total size of the internal memory should be 980.5MB. Then you need to flash but do them one at a time.

Firefox 4 is now available for Ubuntu. To install it, open a Terminal & enter:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

if you could live with the ext4 version you could just flash it to a bigger memory stick, shrink it with gparted, make a new smaller image & flash that to your dodgy memory stick.

yep!

Windows 7 is very fussy about what it will share with. Usually the answer is only other Windows 7 machines in the same Homegroup. Marking the folders as shared hasn't previously helped

I would love to be able to get it to "see" my media which resides on a Windows 7 PC running Windows Media Server. For some reason XBMC does not see the upnp server but sees the Windows Workgroup. It will even see the shared folders in the Workgroup but when I try to add any of them as a so...

I also installed a CPU usage applet & it looks like Chromium is a real resource hog even when doing nothing very much.

Try burning a fresh image of Ubuntu onto your USB stick & reinstalling gparted. FWIW I have never needed to sudo gparted, it just worked.

Nope - don't know how to! :oops: You can use the command: acpi -V You'll probably need to install that first, mind. sudo apt-get install acpi I know you can read the temperature by cat -ing something too, but I can't remember what off the top of my head. :) That was the problem right enough - I hav...

Thanks, I already have 10.10 running on my PC in Virtualbox & have been messing about with Linux for a couple of years now, starting off with an NSLU2 (anyone remember them?). It's just that my knowledge is a bit patchy in places.

Thanks, will give it a go. To change the thermal cutout I take it I just edit the grub.cfg with gedit? I'm a bit worried about frying the cpu but I guess raising it to 75 deg would be safe enough?

Nope - don't know how to!

I have noticed that Chromium very often locks up & greys out on certain websites, e.g. last.fm. On other sites it can become very sluggish and take a good 20 seconds for a mouse click to register. It seems to be related to the number of extensions I have added to Chromium. If I uninstall them al...

Can I check that you have deleted all Joggler partitions using gparted (including clicking on the big green tick to apply the changes :-) )? What is the size of the resulting unallocated space? It should be 980.5MB. Yes i did that and that was the size of the space. Try deleting all partitions with...

Whenever I have flashed this image it has not been necessary to set any partitions as root. I think your Joggler has faulty memory - one of mine went this way.

did it work?

I've uploaded a single image of the entire flash memory of a factory-fresh Joggler so feel free to give this a go (might be closer to midnight tonight until it's finished uploading): First, use boot into Ubuntu from a USB stick and use gparted to delete all the Joggler's internal memory partitions. ...

Spooky - just after I read this I started to get dropouts & wildly varying signal strengths. Have downloaded the new drivers & also installed wicd in place of network manager. Fingers crossed!
