Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala

Posted by kdawson on from the arrows-in-back dept.

Norsefire writes to mention a Register piece reporting that early adopters are having a tough time with Karmic Koala, Ubuntu's latest release. "Ubuntu 9.10 is causing outrage and frustration, with early adopters wishing they'd stuck with previous versions of the Linux distro. Blank and flickering screens, failure to recognize hard drives, defaulting to the old 2.6.28 Linux kernel, and failure to get encryption running are taking their toll, as early adopters turn to the web for answers and log fresh bug reports in Ubuntu forums." What has been your experience if you've moved to Karmic?

    Are you a Buddhist monk by any chance? You seem very unfazed by something that would make me want to put my fist through my laptop screen.
