Which graphics card do you have? Please paste the output of `lspci`.

The reason why Ubuntu keeps your old kernel is in case of a problem with the new one - if you for some reason cannot boot the new kernel, you can always go back to the old one and troubleshoot the...

I'm assuming you mean the User Switcher applet, then? You can add that from the same location.

Your sudo password is just your normal password, assuming you're an admin users (chances are you are).

I suppose you *could* just mount it into a folder on the desktop, like sudo mount file.iso /home/yourusername/Desktop/isoimage -t iso9660 -o loop, if that would be any better.

Honestly? I don't like it. I don't see why anyone would have any interest in mixing the Ubuntu logo with the Xbox 360.

Sorry, but try again. :)
