I've spent quite a bit of time on Ubuntu Help today
where exactly?
Launchpad - at :https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu This is not
somewhere I usually lurk but it was so overwhelmed that I thought I'd
put my two pence in. Most of the questions I dealt with were after a
clean install, and were fairly simple ones because the desktop is so
different.
as the questions were overwhelming the regular folk so I took a few
on board. There are a vast number of folk who have virtually trashed
their system by trying to do an upgrade.
it would be better to fix the problem
I agree, but the problem is so widespread and well distributed that I
don't think it is going to get fixed. I think it is a product of the
very high level of change between the distributions.
are these upgrades from 10.04 or 11.10?
Both basically.
What problems are people having?
All manner of things varying from no control of sound, no sound at all,
Libreoffice not working, bookmarks missing - to be honest just about
everything you can think of. As well as that there were various crash
messages that nearly got fixed .... I saw some of this and mentioned it
on the list a few days ago. Upgrading to 12.04 is disastrous. I
actually wonder if anyone has succeeded.
Regards, Barry.
