Considering I am the only one using the laptop . . I had to sign in at the beginning splash screen. . So it is me there is no guest or other user . . . . Thats Ok I just reformated the Hard drive and went back to 10.10 the GOLD standard of Ubuntu . . and am now adding back in the items I wanted back . . when I get that done . . I will only upgrade to 11.04 . . 11.10 is to messed up and 12.04 did not fix it ! !
I have just finished getting the items off the 160 GIG USB port hard drive back on to this drive like doc's pictures and downloads plus the win -crap folder to the desk top for sharing haha Maybe in 3 or 4 months I will upgrade this laptop to a quad core AMD and have the same 4 gig of ram ( If I am lucky maybe even a I3 )
