This is all very strange. I am running an od HP Compaq, that has had every issue of Ubuntu on it from 9.04 up to 13.04, and waiting for 13.10. I have had very few problems with my system, with the exception of the ones that I caused. Could it be that you have got something wrong inside the machine?Send Ubuntu-quality mailing list submissions to [email protected]To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Ubuntu-quality digest..."

I am an Ubuntu user and I have been more and more frustrated by the exponentially growing unusability and unstability of Ubuntu throughout the last years. But I will focus on unstability here. Now I am astonished to see the point it has reached. I have installed a fresh new Ubuntu 13.04 on a brand new computer. First, the Firefox browser stopped working after updating it (simply via apt-get) and it turned out to be because ~/.cache/mozilla somehow got the wrong owner (root) rendering it unaccessible and preventing Firefox from reading the user profofiles and hence to work at all. But now, after a reboot, I find myself with an empty desktop with no Unity launcher nor system bar. None of the workarounds described at http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears/ or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1212987 work. So after delirious usability killers (I won't mention them here as I want to focus on UNSTABILITY), after the impossibility to hibernate, after the impossibility to suspend on low battery, after random x.org crashes started to appear which would just suddenly log you out destroying all unsaved data at the blinking of an eye, now we have reached the point where you may just reboot and find yourself with a completely unusable system, roughly equivalent to one that won't even boot. Which means you are forced to either waste a couple of days googling for a fix, or reinstall the whole system just until this happens again. End of rant. Matteo
