Hi all,
I have just _upgraded_ (ie. not clean install) from 11.10 to 12.04 on my
dual-boot Lenovo E420s (Ubuntu 12.04 / Windows 7) using the distribution
upgrade button in the update manager.
I had problems at first, as the remnants of Gnome Shell gave me all sorts
of headaches. So, I removed

I am not clued up on the make and model which will work well for
12.04, but in terms of relative cheapness have you tried your local
freecycle group (http://uk.freecycle.org/). Printers usually show up
there pretty often.

I am not sure about an inkjet but the hp laser printers have very good

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

I have noticed that the reveal does not happen if the cursor is
