The problem was:

Still bashing away and seem to be no closer to success. In fact I am in a terrible muddle. Here is a summary of the history:
in old computer I ran:
sudo tar -czvf /opt/username120305.tar.gz...

Arrarrgh! This is becoming more complicated. I thought that I had deleted the old home.tar.gz from the /home directory, but had not. So the new tar file of /home contained the previous tar file. (The...

This did it:
tar -czvf /opt/currenthome.tgz /home
Thanks.

I am very anxious to get back to work and have taken the following steps in order to get the files across to the NEW computer in the best possible state.
I removed "tester" as a user (since it was...

The resulting file definitely ends in .gz. Would this be the result of the j being used in conjunction with c and f?
I am definitely a beginner, and I don't understand those topics that you...

Beginner here and my O/S is Ubuntu 10.04.
While working on another problem and following guidance I found on the net, I created a tarball of my /home directory. My /home consists of three...

Seems that it was gnash. Have uninstalled and the computer is running like a top!
So far! And keeping the fingers crossed. Will be back if that wasn't it.
Thanks to both.

Thanks. Did that and started FF again. Total memory and swap use did not change much after restarting FF.
I use Xmarks so restoring the bookmarks is easy. (I hope that is not the source of my...

I set up a new user account and have several windows of firefox, each with multiple tabs, running, quick as lightening and so far no problems like the ones I described above. Does this indicate that...

Thanks for this. However it appears that I have inadvertently posted about two different problems thinking that the two might be related.
I can live with the modprobe error report as it simply...

I have a relatively new dual core 64 bit dual install Win XP/10.04 system.
At first I was able to run quite a number of browser (Chrome and Firefox) windows simultaneously in different desktops...

I did not do anything that I know of that might have resulted in that. I have made lots of changes, especially the upgrades, and imagine that something went pear-shaped.
Wanting to get on with...

I have a lot more questions than answers, but I expect that it is something to do with the subect of this thread.
You suggest that I remove those entries. Please guide me on how to do this.
And...

Found it with Google.

I am pretty new to the cli, but with your kind guidance on how to do this, I would be very happy to do so.

I shut down my Ubuntu 10.04 (which was recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04) and moved the computer to another location with a different monitor, keyboard, mouse.
When I booted, a screen...

Having gone this long without having to sort it out, I have copied it to a NAS and now want to delete it from this computer.
However when I highlight it and press delete, nothing happens. When I...

Hirguy, thanx for yours.
This appears to have been a long term, continuing learning exercise. The new machine is happy as a clam, runs Chrome lightning fast.
However, the old machine is now...

I am back now from our travels and had a chance to do a lot of googling/reading while away.
After reading the above suggestions, and lots more of googled up discussion, I finally went with:

OK, apologies for the quiet period, but I am just getting up again from a bout with severe allergies, and my wife and I are off shortly to visit our daughter over Thanksgiving and I am using this...

I have just put together a new computer using an Intel i3-550 64 bit processor, and installed Windows (first), then Ubunutu 10.04. A separate /home partition was created. The linux partitions in this...
