I have three machines that were all upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04. They all worked reliably on 11.10. One of the machines, an old 1.7 GHz Celeron IBM desktop acts as my server. After upgrade it appears to kernel panic. The screen plugged into it is a bit broken, so I have only once caught the screen output before it power saves. I can't wake the screen without rebooting the machine, so I am only guessing that the other failures are the same. My desktop machine is probably the most tinkered with. It sometimes stalls on boot. At different places. Sometimes I have noticed it mentions waiting for network configuration. The boot is very slow. Turn on and go get a cup of tea. Minutes, not seconds. It is not a super fast machine, but should not be this slow. Also, when logging in, Unity is slow to start up. Not minutes, but a real long pause. I recently tried Xmonad for fun, and thought that the it could not be running correct as it started so fast! :-) The second desktop locked up the other day. My wife uses this machine, and all I know is that she needed to turn off and on again. Sorry, but I can't cope trying to get a more detailed response. The two desktops, once up and running don't seem to crash, but then they are only on when required. Only the server is on 24/7. I know that I should dig and get more details, but Ubuntu is supposed to be Linux for Humans. These days I just want to get on and use the machine, not spend hours just keeping them going. Don't get me wrong. I am not unhappy with Ubuntu. Just a little underwhelmed with this release. If I were supporting machines like mine professionally, I would be having a real paddy. But then I would also be more inclined to fix things ;-) -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
