Well over here carried out 2 upgrades and 2 fresh installs so far. Couple of minor issues but nothing bug worthy. We use nVidia cards and dual monitors - had the 'cannot parse xorg.conf' documented issue when configuring twinview (simple enough to sort out). Also had an issue with filesystem

gfortran and g77

2009-12-08 Thread Ben Gamari
It seems that as of gcc-4 (or on the Ubuntu timeline, Intrepid), g77 has been superseded by gfortran. Unfortunately, it seems that the gfortran packaging was not updated to account for this fact: gfortran does not provide an alternative for f77. I believe this should not be the case, as according

The bizarrely obnoxious bit about F-Spot import is that it copies everything to your photos folder BEFORE you actually accept the import. Then, if you don't accept it, it deletes them... which is just Bad Behavior. On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 4:57 AM, Sebastien Bacher seb...@ubuntu.com wrote: Le
