I really would like to know how much time it will probably take to fix these crash problems. Are there any estimations?
I’m currently thinking about installing Debian lenny with KDE 4.2.2 backports. This would give me version 1.4.2 of the X.org X server so that I probably won’t experience these crashes. In addition, I would be able to use fglrx with my “old” card which might give me smooth desktop effects. With the open source radeon driver, desktop effects are usually jerky, and version 1.6 of the X server only supports fglrx versions that don’t support R300 anymore. I’d really be interested to hear why Jaunty had to come with version 1.6 of the X server. Kubuntu Jaunty currently reminds me of Windows: Don’t install until the first service pack is out. I’m really astonished that something that’s crashing and crashing again is considered a stable version and officially released. I wanted an easy-to-install Linux with KDE 4.2. I thought that Kubuntu was the way to go. But what I have experienced during the last weeks is really annoying. I didn’t want to do some complicated installing – Debian plus backports plus proprietary driver – but at the moment it seems like this would be the best solution. :-( So please take this as a plea for a Kubuntu Karmic which is more stable and not so bleeding-edge. -- Kubuntu freezes when desktop effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351990 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
