Hi All, Last weekend I decided to upgrade my spare laptop. It is an elderly Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 running 32 bit 11.10 and Unity in 2D mode. The upgrade went smoothly and here are the problems that I have found so far:-
1. The desktop back ground went plain black. Under 11.10 I had the default photographs set to change on a regular basis. It was no problem to select the 12.04 default photo background, however this may be disconcerting for a novice. May I make an enhancement suggestion that it would have been nice if the upgrade software could have realised that I was using the default profile and offered to set up the default background as part of the upgrade process. 2. The launcher will not 'reveal' if there is an application, such as Firefox, set to maximum size. The launcher will 'reveal' once all windows have been minimised or closed. I have a work around for this problem by setting the launcher to be permanently visible. Is this a bug or normal behaviour for 2D Unity? 3. Rhythmbox is the default music player for 12.04. It has a feature called Party Mode, this expands the window to full screen covering all other windows, menus etc. The problem is that the only way to get out of this mode is by the power button, or by using a terminal to kill the process. This is a know bug 785631 which has been confirmed since September 2011. I'm not impressed that an LTS has been released with this bug still intact. I have only had one crash so far but this is one more than I had with 11.10. Barry T -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
