I really gave it a good try, but it doesn't work for me. Why?
Testing is just too buggy for my taste. And Lenny is far too old. I never could fix the problems in Gnome that developed. At one point I completely deleted all config files relating to Gnome, Nautilus and gtk, letting them be recreated when I logged in again. And I still had no window manager or gnome-panel. I also spent almost an entire day trying dozens of other remedies suggested here and on the debian-users and gnome e-lists. No joy. The same thing happened a month ago when I tried testing the first time. To sleuth down where the problem lies would take ages. I'd have to keep written logs of every configuration change and appllcation install, and reboot after every dozen or so until it breaks. That is not all that is messed up. I have spent hours trying to get Debian to enable my bluetooth mouse, but to no avail. I tried a live CD of Lenny and couldn't get it working there either. But with a live CD of Karmic it took 60 seconds to get it working. Nautilus crashes if you click on Preferences. Update Manager is also messed up in Squeeze. It continually displays an icon saying there is one update available. But when I launch Update Manager it says the computer is completely up to date. Aptitude also says it is up to date. And you can't get rid of the icon unless you delete the notification area. I may try Fedora for a few days, but I'm probably going to end up back with Ubuntu. But if I do it will be because I like it, not because I need its training wheels. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
