I just installed 8.0.4.1 on my 701 4G, to replace Xandros. It is much better -- thanks for your work.
However, I cannot get the wireless to connect reliably. It seems to connect fine when I put the WPA password into Network. When I shutdown and then start back up, it won't connect. When I look in Network, the password is obviously corrupted -- it is now several times longer than the password I put in. In trying to understand what was going on, I turned off the wireless using the F2 key. When I would turn it back on, the machine would turn it off again within a couple of seconds. I finally got it to stay on by going into Setup when I booted the machine and turning the wireless on there. I can live without wireless for a while, but it definitely makes the system less useful than it would be otherwise. Shutdown works reliably for me. When I try to get a document to display from file manager, I get a dialog asking if I want to run it or display it. This is annoying, but not important -- especially compared to the wifi problem! Again, thanks for your work.

Status in Ubuntu Eee: New Bug description: I tried 8.04.1. Found a number of problems which forced me back to 8.04. 1) Flaky wireless connection. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes not. Always connected before. 2) Shutdown unreliable from remix. Had to go to a terminal and do a sudo shutdown. 3) Documents didn't display from the file manager. I click on a text doc, hit Display, and nothing happens. 4) Connection via Nokia phone possible but seemed slower than with 8.04. I do like Remix, the faster boot, and more disk space, but without wireless it was a no-go for the moment _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders Post to : ubuntu-eee-coders@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
