Hi chaps
I am playing around with different distros at the moment, and having got Ubuntu working on my Toshiba laptop, I soon got bored and had a go with Mandriva. I'm finding that even more boring, though, because the b*st*rd thing won't work.
It either gets as far as the KDE desktop loading up, plays a little tune, then keeps playing the last note of that tune on, and on, and on... Eventually I get bored, and switch the thing off.
Then, when I startup again, it only gets as far as the KDE loading screen, it says something like "restoring session" and *then* hangs.
Any ideas on what might be wrong, and what I might be able to do to get things going again? Assume I know nothing, because I don't!
Cheers
Dave
