Re: [OT] Re: upgrade from 9.04 - 9.10: the most broken Ubuntu / Debian upgrade I have ever experienced
Hi, I've had a good-bad-great experience with Karmic. FWIW, I started back with Feisty. Right now, I am _very_ pleased with the way my system is working, although some "adjusting" has been needed, and was somewhat "uncomfortable" initially -- that is, getting all the stuff I use confirmed working. Karmic is the first time that compiz has been a big FAIL on my ThinkPad T41s (see attached). I don't like "eye candy", so had "Change Desktop Background" -> "Visual Effects" set to "None". When I updated my machine, it worked, and worked well. Jaunty had started being a dog with Firefox and I was seriously thinking of going back to Intrepid (it kept getting worse month by month). When Karmic beta came out, I punted and went there. It was marvelous. I even apologized (not out loud) for the venting (not out loud) I had been doing about how badly Firefox is supported on Linux (which IMO, it still is badly supported on Linux compared to Microsoft Windows). When I went to upgrade two other T41s (same model, 9FU). when starting Firefox, the system would hard hang with a mostly invisible trapezoid looking like it was flipping down into place. After a day of pondering, my son-in-law found that if he immediately went into the "Change Desktop Background" and switched from "Normal" to "None" the hard hang did not happen. Further, we found that even running metacity with "compositing" ON causes things to really crawl on this model machine... So there is something more going on in Karmic than before. This is a pain, BUT not that insurmountable. So, I am wondering how many others there are out there that have had some similar unexplained "hangs" that have sent them off "barking up the wrong tree"?? I am hopeful that someone who works in the deep innards of compiz and other "compositing" window managers can identify where the issues are, and perhaps review the properties selected when the "configuring" based on discovered hardware is done. Perhaps shipping without advanced graphics enabled (none vs normal) would be better. Also, having a better way to diagnose whether older hardware can handle the newer features would be helpful. Also, if one has a running system, and then is cautioned about adding features incrementally and testing between each addition, would keep folks from sliding off the road.

What locale are you using? The different locales found under /usr/share/i18n/locales/ have a "first_weekday" For cultures like en_US were Sunday is considered the first day of the week, the line should read "first_weekday 1" Cultures that begin the week on Mondays should have "first_weekday 2" GNOME's calendar applet should follow these settings. If the locale setting for your culture is wrong, please file a bug against the "langpack-locales" package.

Re-installing grub debs on that filesystem in a chrooted shell don't cause the problem to go away. I cry, gently, to myself, in the corner and shake my fist all cute, furry, bear-like creatures. 12) I boot into win7 and leave ubuntu 9.10 64bit iso downloading. I'm mildy infuriated when the stupid win7 OS reboots in the middle of the night, and restart the download in the morning. I do basically the same thing through the Ubuntu 9.10 cd that I attempted with the Lenny cd: i) boot cd, mount my original root fs ii) grub-install --root-directory= --recheck --no-floppy iii) grub seems installed. Yay! 13) Reboot. Grub is, indeed, installed -- but doesn't seem to have a clue about my config -- I just have a grub shell. Lucky for me, I've spent time in this mystical place before. Unluckily for me, this version of grub no longer understands the "kernel" parameter. The "help" command, the pause key and a certain amount of Clint-Eastwood-like lucky-punkness provide me with a command "linux", which I try -- and it works just like the old "kernel" one did. After a little messing about, I have my old install alive again, and I re-run grub-installer there, with no arguments. A reboot shows a working grub menu and some sense of order is restored to my little world. On a positive note: the entire system seems a lot more responsive now.
