I have reported enough bugs, and thanks for the advice but that is ALL I have been doing for the last 3 weeks. I have spent on average 2/3's of every day of my University school holidays for the last 3 weeks doing just as you suggested.
Still nothing, I had added details to other bugs, I have followed the advice from launchpad, ubuntu forums, debian forums, mint/ubuntu forums. I have also spent time on the gnome forums, kde and xfce forums as well looking for problems. This is the problem I find - there is NO answer for this problem. Now Im a pretty clever guy, but when a problem is completely random, when you report bugs as ur requested to do, you follow ALL advice and still no answers, and other people are still having problems too?! I have to wonder, thats all Im saying. Granted, I take your point that ubuntu cant test on ALL forms of hardware and thats a given; but neither can Windows,and as much as I hate it, its fully stable on the hardware I have... ...so it begs the philosophical question. How do THEY do it?! But it doesnt matter now, I will have to wait another couple of years again and give it another go. I can remember paying $49.95 for redhad 6 donkeys yrs ago and it has come a long way. Maybe in another 2 to 4 yrs ubuntu will ACTUALLY "work out of the box". I do, truely hopefully, wish and pray for that day. :) Thanks, but the advice doesnt help On 14/07/2010, Dr. Kenobi <[email protected]> wrote: > Richard, I'm sorry you are having too many problems with Ubuntu.
