How about giving us some useful information? You don't provide any error messages, what version of Ubuntu you're using, on what hardware, or anything that could help us, help you.
Until you can clearly describe what's wrong, it's going to be hard for anyone here to help you.
i am useing both ubuntu and kubuntu 8.10 ubuntu gives me error msg wrong architecture 'i386' or close to that kubuntu wont let me download/install drivers and updates says something about switching back to read only mode.... btw im on a amd 64 bit dual core 1.91 Ghz
the i386 comes up in a window when i try to install programs - ubuntu (also my friend said something about having the wrong architecture pack?)
and when i get home ill tell you about the other error, all i can remember is that i try to do updates or install drivers and it says switching back to read only mode and all i have is the option to click ok - kubuntu
