Thanks Pratik and Deepak for your replies. I shall try the gnome shell option again --there was an option at installation time for gnome shell or unity and i had opted to go for the default since i figured that those problems would have been debugged in the 11.04/11.10 series.
I have both the 10.04 and 12.04 on 2 different laptops and 10.04 works much faster on the earlier laptop. Cheers, Kussh -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
