Hi Steve, I recommend you go to ubuntu's mailing lists and/or their irc channel in freenode. Although you might be using Linux, that is not a Linux question/problem (I mean it is not related to kernel). Your problem is about what happened with Ubuntu's config. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chat Cheers!
