Re: [ubuntu-uk] Gutsy, first reports!
big snip On feisty I was using the restricted driver with Beryl (and then plain old Compiz), so I don't know why it's such a different experience on Gutsy. But I am very impressed so far :) Upgrade went smoothly but somewhat slowly. I suppose lots of people after the same files as me. Very pleased so far and, to my delight, my scanner now works. Must check my camera. Norman -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Norman As previously suggested, raise a Answer[0] or Bug report[1] on Launchpad - providing as much detail as possible, including Make/Model. If usb attached, the output of lsusb -vvv and dmesg (from the console) with the device attached.

Dave Thinking it would improve my experience, I installed the restricted ATI driver on my laptop. Restarted the system and...no wobbly windows. No desktop effects. The setting was set to 'None' in Preferences-Appearance, and clicking either of the others resulted in the error message 'Compiz extension not available'. Suffice to say I've learned my lesson about proprietary drivers, as I've gone back to the free driver and desktop effects are sorted!

Rob Did a fresh install of Gutsy on a Thinkpad X31 from the Live CD, everything went fine and only took 20mins. First problem I noticed is the boot and shutdown splash screen don't show -- same as Rob, though they show fine when my external display is connected (tv at same resolution). Also the computer seems to take a little longer to boot than Feisty did, nothing to bother about though. Aside from that everything seems to be running smoothly, hopefully it'll still be the same once I get all my favourite programs installed. And here's hoping it works as well on my other Thinkpad. Oh, and another thing I noticed, desktop effects won't work, they did work (sort of) in Feisty with a few bugs. Could this be to do with the ATI drivers?

Hi Javad, On Thu, 2007-10-18 at 14:49 +, STONE COLD wrote: those of you who have now installed 7.10 what are your thoughts? How has it improved from fiesty? I've been using Gutsy on a few laptops and a desktop for a few months now. Personally I'm finding certain specific features making me happy. Here's my top 3. * Tomboy sync. I use Tomboy Notes to note my to-do list, ideas, documentation, personal notes and kids christmas lists :) I have more than one computer, and previously Tomboy was out of sync on each machine. The version of Tomboy with Gutsy has a few sync options and whilst they aren't trivial to setup (ssh sync requires ssh keys to be setup between machines and the 'server' where the store is [not a problem for me, I already use this, but could be an issue for new users]) it's awesome. Means I can sit down at any machine and know my notes are up to date. * Better battery life. I am noticing battery life on my laptop is much improved. Part of this is down to the excellent tool Powertop from intel which you can install from the repository. It indicates which programs are causing the CPU to wake up frequently, and also offers suggestions for improving battery life. Really good stuff. * Encrypted filesystems during install. I love this idea. Using the alternate CD (not the live one) it's possible to install Gutsy into an encrypted volume on disk which is accessed using a passphrase entered at bootup. Love it. I will be re-installing my laptop to take advantage of this feature!
