Same problem here. I've tried repeatedly to switch to 64bit Ubuntu. Since 9.4 (or maybe even 8.10, I'm not really sure), every new stable release i tried switching and found this same issue. An issue that not only doesn't present itself with the corresponding 32 bit version but also doesn't happen with any Windows OS i had/have on the same machine.
I've googled for a solution and apparently there isn't one. Considering it's been here for at least a year and a half and Ubuntu takes all this pride in being user friendly, well supported, easy to learn and all that stuff, i think it's absolutely ridiculous. How about we stop arbitrarily changing the look every two releases until we have EVERYTHING in working order? What is this, Microsoft? Changes in the GUI justify a shoddy product? Wasting time and resources on forced changes that nobody cares about, like the indicator applet or the buttons on the left side (which took me all of three minutes to correct by hand) while letting a huge bug like this go unnoticed for more than a year and at least three stable distros, one of which a LTS? If Ubuntu is to be taken seriously it shouldn't have this kind of problem, especially in this day and age where USB drives can store terabytes of data and 64bit is becoming the standard for CPUs. I have very cumbersome data to backup and transfer and, to be able to, i have to sacrifice my entire system's performance by installing the 32 bit version. Congratulations, apparently Microsoft has outdone at least one Linux distribution on something. -- Copying files to USB flash drive is extremely slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Fedora. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
