Today a got a hint to try a beta of Ubuntu 10.4 from a live CD. I did (without much hope, sorry, no offence meant to anybody) -- and to my extreme amazement nearly everything that refused to work in 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10 (display, sound, network) started to work like a charm. Even the dual-monitor support (not yet working in 8.04, the only stable edition presently working for me) is not bad; there are rectangles on the screen I cannot reach with the mouse but maybe that will improve over time.
It looks like the 10.04 developers did a remarkable job. When the first stable 10.4 comes out I certainly am going to give it a try. Very good piece of work, folks. So I can summarize my experience with this bug as follows: On my (rather new) notebook - 10.04 beta runs from the live CD without major problems - 9.10 starts from the live CD (judging by the sound played) but does not display anything - 9.04 starts, displays, and can be installed but has no support for my network card - 8.10: I did not try a live CD but upgraded twice from a working 8.04, and the X server would not run - 8.04:installed without major problems but plays no sound which leaves 9.10 and 8.10 as possibly affected by the bug. -- primary notebook screen remains blank in 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
