About Me: <<BR>> I am married to a wonderful woman, and have an awesome pug named Merlin. I try and spend an hour a day on the [[http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1039304 | Ubuntu Forums]], and at least an hour over the weekend on IRC. My goal is to help people who have just made the switch to Ubuntu, this is a difficult transition and I do my best to make it go smoothly. Below you will see my contributions made to Ubuntu and contact information to reach me.

=== Notes ===
Some full screen wine apps crash X upon closing. To correct this winecfg must have exception added for the executable to run with an emulated desktop in a standard resolution (i.e. 800x600)'''''edit: issue remains in 10.04final, but no longer need standard resolution (i.e. can now use 1024x600)''''' <<BR>>

Remastersys was installed on 9.04 and upgraded when my install moved to 9.10. When trying to reinstall from Remastersys backup the install fails because it is missing Grub2 dependencies (Grub-PC). Cannot repo Grub2 dependences because the Remastersys backup thinks you still use Grub Legacy. Synopsis: Backup was made from install using Grub Legacy, the installer uses Grub2, restoring in this manner causes system to fail on boot and requires total re-installation with a distribution ISO.
