Ubuntu 10.04 Problems on Acer Aspire 7520

You cannot downgrade to 9.10 You must reinstall if you go that way.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display

Thanks

ok all I can recommend is to download the libgcc1 deb file, extract it and manually move the file to /lib to overwrite it. I'll have a look at what the file is when I get home (i'm at work now) but i'll let you know

Unfortunately most of my applications don't work because of this
problem, not sure why Ubuntu upgrade should make changes that have such
a disastrous effect, it appears not to have installed correctly even
though there were no problems reported. There seems to be a problem with
ELF whatever that is, can't I just re install that?

Many thanks for the help so far.

Regards

ELF defines if it is 32bit or 64bit. All libs have this as each lib is compiled for the architecture.

Here is the file from my system:
http://www.mediafire.com/?e5g4q026lqnes2x

download it and copy it to /lib

Hi, there doesn't appear to be a copy command in Terminal and none of my
"file Managers" work anymore !!!!

Hi,

Success, I've managed to copy the lib over and now I can run
applications :-) I have checked, and the installation of 10.04 didn't
actually install any display drivers, so once I installed them, all was
running Great :-D

Many Thanks for your help & patience
