Good to know.

I just tried to install on a PC (not a laptop which unexpectedly became available) and the graphics crashes: screen is totally garbled when trying to boot from the DVD at the first screen (selection whether to try or install). During the boot I got some console messages about GPU lockup switching to fb??? (didn't catch the whole thing). I don't really know whether the system is still responsive cause I can't click anything.

Graphics card is an NVidia  Quadro 410 running on an AMD Athlon II CPU (Dell Inspiron 570)

Hi all,


tested the scroll down on a Dell XT2 Convertible and  an logitech RX 300 Mouse. The windows do not jump on my installation. Gnumeric is not jumping also.

I couldn't install on real hardware, only on VirtualBox.
Couple of observations

The installer DVD still displays 13.10. Not sure when this is planned to change, just thought I mention it. I was confused the first time I installed alpha 2, I epxected something like "14.04 A2"

There seems to be something funny going with the mouse scroll wheel: if I scroll down too fast, the menu first jumps up before it scrolls down. As a result, when at the bottom of a list and still scrolling it keeps looping over the last few entries. Very annoying to me. I noticed it first in the applet list trying to install a new panel applet. When I moved the mousewheel real fast in the file open dialog from gnumeric, I could make the main gnumeric window jump to different places on the desktop.
This is VirtualBox, though, so it may be a virtualBox driver problem but I have not seen that in other version of xubuntu under virtual box.

Othrwise it looks great.

I do have a question:
is anybody testing the behavior of NVidia Optimus support (bumblebee)with the kernel that gets released? I did see some posts that bumblebee has a probem with kernel 3.13 and bumblebee not working would throw me a curve ball when I need to upgrade my main machine because as 12.04 EOL.
Ditto with wireless. In all my previous updates wireless support never worked out of the box.
I realise this is probably the ubuntu folks and beyond xubuntu's scope but may be a consideration for kernel selection (I read a lot of bumblebee problems with kernel 3.13).
