I finally had enough and decided to give Ubuntu 7.04 a try. xfs is stable in 7.04. And the entire system seems NOTICEABLY faster running 7.04 rather than 7.10.
I discovered the Ubuntuzilla project, thus was able to get current TBird (and Firefox as well while I was at it) in 7.04. http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/ The latest Envy works well for installing nVidia drivers. http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html And the Parallels VM environment installs well on 7.04. (The latest build actually would install on 7.10.) Parallels is running significantly faster with a Vista Business CD installing. Now when I click something in the Vista installation, it is actually a tolerable time before Vista responds. Those apps are the primary apps I need in native Linux. So, I will stick with 7.04 for now, stop fighting, and start getting real work done. -- xfs corruption - Clean install of 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and applying latest updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
