Today I got a call from the head office’s IT helpdesk. The guy told me that he’d been looking through some log files, and noticed that one of our computers was going to inappropriate sites that were blocked or should’ve been blocked on the proxy. He asked if I could schedule a time for him to remotely access the computer and check it for viruses, spyware and malware.
I was about to give him a time, but then I realised. The other day, my boss had been using that computer to look on Adult Friend Finder! So I told the guy that we’d give him a call back 
My boss and I had a good laugh about that afterwards
Scott Miller has been doing some excellent work trying to track down the Ubiquity bug in Copland. He’s now discovered that Ubiquity on Ubuntu gives the same error messages in the log files as does the Ubiquity in Copland; so those error messages he found are not the cause of the problem.
Personally, I’m thinking that it was the way in which I uninstalled the language packs. I did these commands:
[CODE]sudo apt-get remove –purge language-pack-*
sudo apt-get install language-pack-en language-pack-gnome-en[/CODE]
I remember reading that Ubiquity crashes on Linux Mint if you apt-get language packs before installing the system to your hard disk.
I’m going to duplicate my Copland language-pack purge on Xubuntu and see what happens to the Ubiquity installer, and Scott Miller will probably try it too.
