My recent enthusiasm for Laptop Linux has been somewhat stiffled. I fired up my laptop to extract some files only to be told that Ubuntu couldn't find the display so would continue in headless mode. It offered to show me the log files which I accepted but which obviously told me (a mere mortal) nothing. That's a real shame because the single endearing quality of Sony Vaio laptops is the awesome display. I quickly Googled for the problem but found nothing - so for now the laptop gets added to the pile of things that need to be debugged. At one time (3 or 4 years ago) I used to enjoy mucking about with Linux but today I just need a working laptop.
Update Thanks to the tip from ThinGuy Ubuntu is back up and running in glorious 1280x800. If you are stranded in the same situation - follow these simple steps and you'll be fixed in just few minutes.
