It is an elderly Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 running 32 bit 11.10 and Unity in 2D mode. The upgrade went smoothly and here are the problems that I have found so far:- [snip] 2. The launcher will not 'reveal' if there is an application, such as Firefox, set to maximum size. The launcher will 'reveal' once all windows have been minimised or closed. I have a work around for this problem by setting the launcher to be permanently visible. Is this a bug or normal behaviour for 2D Unity? That is a bug, even with maximised windows the launcher should reveal if you push the mouse against the left hand side. On the appearance settings have you got Reveal Location set to Left Side or Top Left Corner? I have it on Left Side on a Satellite A100 using 2D and it reveals ok. 3. Rhythmbox is the default music player for 12.04. It has a feature called Party Mode, this expands the window to full screen covering all other windows, menus etc. The problem is that the only way to get out of this mode is by the power button, or by using a terminal to kill the process. This is a know bug 785631 which has been confirmed since September 2011. I'm not impressed that an LTS has been released with this bug still intact. The bug mentioned just says that there is no way back if you forget the correct key to use. I don't use rhythmbox so don't know what the key is, but presumably someone does. It is a pity that the bug does not mention which key it is. Colin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] My experience with 12.04 upgrade
I've raised bug 982954 about the intermittent failure to show the launcher, even when the sensitivity is set to high. I'm using Unity 3D though. Neil. P.S. Sorry for the brevity, this is typed on my phone.

Perhaps you could add a comment to the bug to say that F11 is the key to cancel it, so that if others find the bug at least they will know that.
