Sure, feel free to close the bug, but this demonstrates that more testing needs to be done on older PCs before releasing new versions. Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest and Ubuntu is supposed to be developed mindful of community needs and widespread usefulness. Cheers. On Wed, 2011-1

Thank you for your analyses and insights. I would suggest that to advance to a new OS version, firstly one should not break what already works well in the existing version, then provide some sort on intelligence to detect what more modern and advanced features are available on the receiving PC befo
