How to remove watermark reposted from BaffledMollusc

Quote:

Right click on the desktop and choose Create Document -> Empty File
Call it something like "remove_watermark.sh"
Double click on the file you've created to open it in the text editor
Paste the following text into the text editor

Code:

#!/bin/sh
DRIVER=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $DRIVER
done

Save the file and close the text editor
Right click on the desktop icon you've created and choose "Properties->Permissions"
Tick the box "allow executing file as program"
Close the properties dialog
Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal)
Type the following two lines into the terminal, pressing enter after each line

cd Desktop
sudo sh remove_watermark.sh

Now enter your login password when prompted

Finally log out and back in and the watermark will hopefully be gone!

Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on HP G60 laptop

Re: [G60-g70] Blank screen during and after installation

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an HP G60-458DX. No problems, and nothing like the blank screen problems Wade reported. However, the "clean install" was Ubuntu 9.10 and then I upgraded to 10.04.
