I bit the bullet and unplugged the power to my IDE hard drive. So
now the computer has only one 160 GB hard drives. I have both Gutsy and
Hardy now running on the one hard drive and loading Hardy was a SNAP! It
loaded from the LiveCD just like I expected and the Grub has Hardy first
and Gutsy second.
The problem with 2 hard drives is a problem with my BIOS. It is just
a pure PAIN to use this computer with one IDE and one SATA hard drives.
Now I have one SATA and it is easy to use.
Now to set up this Hardy like my Gutsy is now.

You don't seem to want a solution for that, but here is a suggestion
anyway: Create a new email account, it can be hotmail if you prefer
that, or there are a lot of alternatives out there, GMail being one of
them. Then unsubscribe from this list and all other lists you are
subscribed to. Then subscribe to all the lists again, but this time with
your new email address. Now all list email will come to your new email
address and not interfere with your personal email.
I have some problems reading sh_oofshore's messages because they are send
as html messages which adds a lot of unnecessary garble and makes them
almost unreadable in my news client. Your problems will be solved if you
unsubscribe from the mailing list and subscribe to the newsgroup
gmane.linux.ubuntu.user, as I have done. It makes reading selected
messages much easier. My problem, and I think a problem for many others
on this list, will be solved if you refrain from posting in html.

Run top or htop and see what is using up the cpu cycles. If the fan is
running fast and the laptop still overheats, then the cpu is active. I
had this problem once with an IBM laptop when the fan was not quite up
to snuff to keep the cpu temp down.

Yes, the package really was installed and it seems like removing it did
the trick!
I blame tasksel for installing the package because normally I installed
samba through aptitude and never had this problem before and I didn't
knew about the package.
Thanks so much for the help, NoOp!
It a Hardy thing. And probably related to this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/216990
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam
You might want to review those, as there was an issue with the auth logs
being spammed if libpam-smbpass wasn't installed, or if the
pam_smbpass.so related lines in /etc/pam were not commented out.

Ubuntu stopped loading after I removed data from a logical partition. I ran
a grub fixer and now the menu won't load (menu.lst). Here's what I
have
done so far.
$ sudo mkdir -p /media/disk
$ sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/disk
sudo nano -w /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
Changed all occurrences of (hd0,6) to (hd0,4) (I also tried 5 because sudo
grub find /boot/grub/stage1 yielded (hd0,5)). Then
grub
root (hd0,4) also tried 5
Then setup (hd0)
When I used 4 I got error 17.
When 5 I got:
grub> root (hd0,5)
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are
embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p
(hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed
Error 12: Invalid device requested
So I got farther but still no banana.
Need some help please! Thanks Gary

I am using Hardy generic 32bit and Synaptic.
I was looking through the installed packages ans saw bc and dc.
To find out what they are I read the package info
bc info said to go to :
"
The GNU bc arbitrary precision calculator language
GNU bc is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision which
follows the POSIX 1003.2 draft standard, with several extensions including
multi-character variable names, an `else' statement and full Boolean
expressions. GNU bc does not require the separate GNU dc program.
Home page: http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/bc.html
"
dc info said:
"
The GNU dc arbitrary precision reverse-polish calculator
GNU dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
precision arithmetic. It also allows you to define and call macros.
A reverse-polish calculator stores numbers on a stack. Entering a number
pushes it on the stack. Arithmetic operations pop arguments off the
stack and push the results.
Home page: http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/bc.html
"
Both have the same home URL???????????????????
I think the dc should have a home URL of:
http://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/dc-1.05/dc.html
How do I get this bug report to the proper people? is the a Ubuntu bug
or is it the package maintainer bug?
Well, considering the package maintainers are Ubuntu Core Devel, you're
talking about the same people. Sure you could file a bug in Launchpad.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
It might not get high priority, but it's a really easy fix.

Top ought to tell you alright, if something is hogging all the cpu cycles,
wouldn't the system logs show what was causing the errors? Xorg takes the
most cpu time on my system but it never remains the same. It drops off to
nearly nothing at times and jumps up while opening screens. I run KDE on my
machine so have KSystemLog but surely Gnome has something similar.
