More problems with Ubuntu 11.10 and the Unity default set up - maybe it should be called DisUnity.
My son tried installing Ubuntu 11.10 on his system but found it unusable after installation, luckily he put it on a different hard drive and just changed boot drives to go back to 11.04 and wipe the drive with the new install as a recovery option. The problems he encountered were: - Graphics drivers in the install would not work his Nvidea card properly. - The monitor drivers did not work with his widescreen monitor; system would only allow 800 x 600 and it come out very distorted on the 27 inch screen. - Had to chase up another keyboard and mouse as the system would not work his wireless set from Logitech. - System would not work his USB trackball. He didn't complain about the touch screen widget issues as he was aware of them from me and didn't like them, he was interested in seeing if Ubuntu 11.10 would run on his Intel i7 system, and it doesn't run worth a damn. Ernest PS When he had the screen issues, it reminded me I had similar problems with my install and the first restart wouldn't get past the splash screen until I hit the reset button and logged in using the Unity 2D option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830404 Title: Proposed removal of GNOME Classic desktop would be a serious usability and accessibility regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/830404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
