I don't think all these issues came suddenly from no where, there were similar issues in previous versions too. But the problems are increasing because they are implementing many changes in very small time, GNU/Linux is loosing its stability feature because of some distributions like fedora, ubuntu. unlike Debian, Redhat, which have long release cycles > Ashutosh Rishi (just joined the list, please help me with the list > etiquette) > Stay Hungry, Stay foolish > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > > -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Karmic is working great wonders in my mind. The day it came out, my motherboard got spoilt! And I am still waiting for a new one. In the meantime, I have burnt a CD-R, a DVD-R, and a CD-RW with karmic and waiting. Just to see how it looks, I convinced my father to install ubuntu on his laptop, and my friend. I may still not be in a stage to review how Karmic will work for me, but I have never been so exited for something. :) And, does Karmic really have so many hardware issues?? There were some pretty bad reviews written along with the awesome reviews.

Karmic worked great for me. I like the revamped network manager applet and the sound applet.. It gives an option to boost volume system wide which is great for my laptop which has low sound. Madwifi now supports my atheros wireless card fully and i can now use the hardware wifi switch.. yay!!!

Hi just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, last night. To start with just one word *WOW* where do i start the eulogies from - slick, fast, clean and almost everything works - i have not found much missing and just absolutely love it. The new start up screen, the tonnes of available background options . The general air of something good under the hood. I love it already. Firefox is the latest and works well. It fixed the bug which disabled me from using the BSNL CDMA Huawei ets 2288 - which now works without a hitch the default print to file have added an SVG option (to the existing pdf and ps) Ubuntu Software centre seems nice - will take getting used to, esp if one uses synaptic Latest openoffice During the install they had a screen which was giving a running commentary The gripes 1. missing wvdial had to install from files downloaded for 9.04 - luckily they worked so i can have the internt 2. it missed my ubuntu 8.10 install and has not loaded it up in grub ?? this is a pain because i need to redo my system. However it picked up a second OS - Ubuntu studio ?? Not good this ?? 4. Missing Apps - thunderbird - inkscape audacity scribus gthumb wvdial (mentioned above) Big Gripe It did not know how to figure out a Data Card (another mail on this posted yesterday). For once i would have liked to see Ubuntu pick up my device and say here it works no need to do anything (it just friggin works) End of story - i can't wait to lay my hands on the repos to make sure everything works and have a clear 4 months before getting excited about 10.04 regards ram On 11/4/09, Gireesh Nagabhushana wrote: > I found that the hang was not only for Firefox but it was also for other > windows (Opening home directory too). > > Here is what I did to get it work in my laptop: > * While logging-in for the first time, choose GNOME's safe mode. > * Logout > * Login again but __not__ in GNOME's safe mode (normal mode).
