I foolishly used a usb 1 device on my computer and since then have not
been able to
use my usb 2 card reader or my pen drive or usb hard drive. I rebooted
with the devices
plugged in but they still weren't detected.

Just a short post to that you all for you help. A really big thanks to
Bruce who spent a number of hours trying to solve my problem. It is
great to have so many people happy to help a novice like me. I was
unable to solve my upgrade problem in the end and I reloaded Dapper. I
did come across the following which may have solved my problem - it may
be helpful to someone.
/*no text status messages in ubuntu edgy 6.10 splash screen*
After upgrading from ubuntu 6.06 to ubuntu 6.10, usplash stopped
working, Ubuntu started displaying a blank screen during startup and
shutdown.
*Solution*
Edgy disabled the status messages in Usplash, but you can get them back
easily using the following commands. First, open your menu.lst
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Now you remove any mention of “quiet” from the file. You should get the
messages again next time you boot./

In “text and splash doesn’t after upgrade to edgy” section,
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
should be a tiny typo of
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst/
Dapper is working for me and so I will probably just stick with it for
the moment

Hello,
I am assisting the setting up of an "openfiler" server at work.
www.openfiller.com
Its on a network using Active Directories and I want openfiler to be
visible on the network.
One authentication question I have is what consitutes the ADS realm.
Google search bring up lots of questions asked by other people on
samba groups etc but I wonder how I can establish it from the windows
configuration
We've tried "tesla.local" and that seems to work to a certain extent
but still can't see the computer on the Windows network.
I've wondered if we haven't quite got the ADS realm or is there some
other SAMBA setting the probably stopping the server being seen.
