Hi just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, last night.
To start with just one word *WOW* where do i start the eulogies from - slick, fast, clean and almost everything works - i have not found much missing and just absolutely love it. The new start up screen, the tonnes of available background options . The general air of something good under the hood. I love it already. Firefox is the latest and works well. It fixed the bug which disabled me from using the BSNL CDMA Huawei ets 2288 - which now works without a hitch the default print to file have added an SVG option (to the existing pdf and ps) Ubuntu Software centre seems nice - will take getting used to, esp if one uses synaptic Latest openoffice During the install they had a screen which was giving a running commentary The gripes 1. missing wvdial had to install from files downloaded for 9.04 - luckily they worked so i can have the internt 2. it missed my ubuntu 8.10 install and has not loaded it up in grub ?? this is a pain because i need to redo my system. However it picked up a second OS - Ubuntu studio ?? Not good this ?? 4. Missing Apps - thunderbird - inkscape audacity scribus gthumb wvdial (mentioned above) Big Gripe It did not know how to figure out a Data Card (another mail on this posted yesterday). For once i would have liked to see Ubuntu pick up my device and say here it works no need to do anything (it just friggin works) End of story - i can't wait to lay my hands on the repos to make sure everything works and have a clear 4 months before getting excited about 10.04 regards ram On 11/4/09, Gireesh Nagabhushana <[email protected]> wrote: > I found that the hang was not only for Firefox but it was also for other > windows (Opening home directory too). > > Here is what I did to get it work in my laptop: > * While logging-in for the first time, choose GNOME's safe mode. > * Logout > * Login again but __not__ in GNOME's safe mode (normal mode).
