I have reported enough bugs, and thanks for the advice but that is ALL
I have been doing for the last 3 weeks. I have spent on average 2/3's
of every day of my University school holidays for the last 3 weeks
doing just as you suggested.
Still nothing, I had added details to other bugs, I have followed the
advice from launchpad, ubuntu forums, debian forums, mint/ubuntu
forums. I have also spent time on the gnome forums, kde and xfce
forums as well looking for problems.
This is the problem I find - there is NO answer for this problem. Now
Im a pretty clever guy, but when a problem is completely random, when
you report bugs as ur requested to do, you follow ALL advice and still
no answers, and other people are still having problems too?! I have
to wonder, thats all Im saying.
Granted, I take your point that ubuntu cant test on ALL forms of
hardware and thats a given; but neither can Windows,and as much as I
hate it, its fully stable on the hardware I have... ...so it begs
the philosophical question. How do THEY do it?!
But it doesnt matter now, I will have to wait another couple of years
again and give it another go. I can remember paying $49.95 for redhad
6 donkeys yrs ago and it has come a long way. Maybe in another 2 to 4
yrs ubuntu will ACTUALLY "work out of the box".
I do, truely hopefully, wish and pray for that day. :)
Thanks, but the advice doesnt help
