Okaaaaaayyyy..... I am quoting the ENTIRE list posting I just got so
you guys can see just how friggin' silly this sounds. For christs
sake, just agree to disagree, do, or do not install automatix, but in
the end, just shut the hell up about it, and quit involving the ENTIRE
list in you battles.

how are people supposed to apply patches if they cant get the source ?
Automatix is written in bash and hence the "source code" can be
extracted directly from the debian package.
Its not an unreadable precompiled binary.

Yes...yes...yes...
I haven't used Windows in about 2 years. Before ubuntu I was on
gentoo, but I like ubuntu quite a bit better. So...games, work, play,
videos...you name it I do it all on linux/ubuntu

I have just installed the latest version of Ubuntu Dapper with all the
updates.
With previous versions of Ubuntu, I could choose whether the clock
showed the time in 12 hour mode or 24 hour, by using the clock's
'preferences'. But with Dapper, there is no 12 hour mode to select. Is
there another way of getting the clock to show the time in 12 hour mode?
The Time Zone is correctly set to Europe/London.
I don't know if this has a bearing on the problem, but with previous
versions of Ubuntu (and Libranet before that), after installation I
always ran "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and made just the "en_GB" locale
active. This won't work with Dapper.
Any advice greatfully received.
Many thanks
Keith

Nothing that I can see. If you see the earlier thred under Dapper
post-installation problem, I have detailed everything that has
happened.
You seem to have a most unusual problem there, and you did a bunch of
sensible things. It looks like one of those things that needs some
heavy guns to solve. So here's how I would tackle it:
Get the .config for the current working Debian kernel, the last Ubuntu
kernel that worked and the current Ubuntu kernel, and diff them. See
if that highlights anything. Does Ubuntu boot using the Debian kernel
btw? Then use the Debian .config to build a kernel under Ubuntu, test
it, and check errors (if any). Any differences in the kernel
parameters between working and non-working kernels?

Here is ~/.xsession-errors :

/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h ""

This is tied to my comment of alsa not being started.
Regarding /var/log/Xorg.log, the error message _seems_ to be :

Does that file exist, and what's in it? On my Breezy
it's /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy - one extra dir in the path

Dennis has repeatedly attacked Automatix and me in the past, thus

As for me I have not signed the CoC and I do not intend to either

No, Linux has replaced Windows on my box. Mandriva, Fedora, SuSE,
Debian, Ubuntu. I could install and use any of them. Right now, I use
Ubuntu, but I've been on (mostly) Mandrake/Mandriva since 2000.
Windows is still there as a handy game console (I don't have a tv nor
money, so no, I'm not buying a Gamecube/Revolution).

You really have a weird definition of suitable.
You need to be promptly weeded out of a place where educated
individuals have a socially acceptable verbal discourse.
Once again you keep violating the code of conduct. Even if you refuse to
sign it you still should adhere to it on public ubuntu mailing lists.

I think people are wondering how you manage to post something like that to

It's things like this that make people compain about the mailing list
