Trevor if you have the proposed source activated in sources, turn it
off if you want a more robust upgrade experience.
Generally kernel updates are useful and should be looked at for why it
didnt work if there is problems.
Theres some good documentation Trevor to help you report a bug, and to
do
How up to date is it though?

Please dont get the impression on a Gnome crusade, but what does

dual layer, single layer DVDs as well as CDs all burn fine using good
media at max speeds.

Just drop the burn speed down some in Brasero
Personally I wouldnt install Qt lib based apps onto Gnome - guess Im a purist :)
Its probably due to poor quality media - I use verbatim now and can
burn 16x no problems using Brasero

It seems to be poor architecture. The client OS should not be a
factory into the systems functionality - it should be a thin client
multi platform with no real client dependencies other than basic web
functions.

Good insights there gents.
This has me wondering how Australia's internet infrastructure is
vulnerable to terrorist attack. Imagine the damage that could be done.
Unlike countries like the US, we obviously dont have the huge
conglomeration of backbone networks that would make a similar attack
far
Even still though, only two points for major backbone connectivity is
pretty lame for a major ISP especially considering the national
peering that is going on between many ISPs.

Ubuntu and GNU/Linux needs to be improve in order to reach its
