Ubuntu, Linux, GNOME and Xorg: This Intel-video user is tired

“”I’m looking forward to this release. 9.10 is mostly stable, I
could use a good update that breaks my intel video and wireless
chips even though they were fine, plus overhauls the USB method so
not much works anymore.”

“That’s exactly where I’m at. I had a pretty good thing going in
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Everything that was ever going to work pretty much
did. Yeah I had a bit of instability with one of my wireless
adapters, fixed in 8.10/9.04, and I fairly quickly figured out how
to tame the new NetworkManager (upgrading with wireless from 8.04
is NOT recommended, by me anyway, if you plan to use a wired
interface after the fact).

“And I did the upgrade from 8.04 through 8.10 to 9.04 in a
single weekend solely to be ready for 9.10. As I’ve said more than
once, I wanted newer apps, and I had no idea so many things would
break. But break they did.”
