Ubuntu 11.04 Is Buggy..Even the Fanboys Agree....
flatfish+++
"Question: As soon as a I get my new computer I'm gonna run Ubuntu, but
which version should I go for? I have 10.10 ready to go but 11.04 is the
newest. From what I've seen on this forum and read in reviews 11.04 has
yet to be stabilized with bugfixes and what-not. So which version should
I go for? 11.04 or stick with 10.10?"
Replies:
"Unless 10.10 doesn't work with some of your hardware I would go for
10.10. It is fast and stable. I see no advantage of 11.04 so far. It is
quite buggy to say the least as you can see from all the threads on the
forum. It is still beta software."
"I tend to agree. I run 10.04 LTS on my main computer, 10.10 on one
laptop and 11.04 on another laptop. The only reason I am running 11.04
is that I like change; like a bit of a challenge, and 11.04 is different
from previous versions, which had a much more traditional feel about
them.
I quite like the desktop in 11.04, and I am getting used to it as time
goes on, but I agree with beew in that it is a little flakey at the
moment.
For instance, it uses Banshee as a media player, and while it is good,
it does have some funny little quirks and sometimes presents with a
blank screen, and has been known to indicate a song other than the one
which is actually playing, whereas Rhythmbox, on the earlier versions,
was pretty solid.
I have also heard that the Desktop version of the 11.04 CD has issues
installing on some hardware, whereas 10.10 did not. I use the alternate
install iso, so I cannot confirm this."
"I would wait for 11.10."
"If you want a stable system i'd suggest using the LTS release, which is
10.04. You won't have to upgrade it until 2013, and uses the older and
less buggy version of the interface."
"Ubuntu 11.04 is definitely not ready to be a primary production
desktop.
I had issues with Unity in the fact that the bars would "disappear" and
only a restart would bring them back, lockups, certain apps wouldn't go
onto the launcher, VNC/Virtualbox kept using each others icons on the
launcher and launching the wrong apps.
It lasted 8 hours on my desktop before a I wiped/reloaded."
But of course in COLA, everything "just works"......
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

heh!
Even my 11.04 installation has lasted more than 8 hours... but I used it
for only 8 minutes, and guess what? I found a sloppy bug.
Linux doesn't belong anywhere near end users.

Because endusers will constantly create new users, delete them and then
immediately (before the kernel decided to sync) try to login with the
deleted user.
Yes, it is a bug. A bug that is specifically in wubi and hasn't probably
affected more than, say, 3 people ever.
I am really interested: How exactly did you find this bug in 8 minutes?

You forgot to tell him "if you don't like Ubuntu try xxxyyyyzzzz".
xxxyyyyzzzz = one of the other 500 distributions.
Linux advocacy = never having to say your sorry. Even though every time
you boot up Linux you most definately are.

I have some "speculations" why:
* That's the best they can do given their lack of pay, experience,
knowledge and commitment.
* They don't give a shit about the user.
* It was April 30 and the boss said "Ship it!" and they hit the "Release
crapware!" button.
* They had a big batch of untested code ready for the "Final Release"
and they wanted some fresh victims
* their high-school break was over and they had to get back to Algebra I

Probably not. Flounder has "DFS" as his own personal foil these days.
You don't even have to read the posts. Just look at the thread

Seems like Flounder is a "follower", rather than a leader, these days.
Why?
There's precious little left in the problem areas of Linux these days.
Time to start concentrating on the users.

DFS accused Chris (the German one) of forging his newsreader
screenshot, but that is how the thread navigation pane tends to look
like a lot these days.

things...
So far Ubuntu 10.10 created a big confidence in Linux to me. I really liked
it,
and still do.
This new 11.04 distro or upgrade.... please people, stay away from it! A very
strange GUI and buggy as hell.
As I am writing this reply on a windows 7 machine, my linux machine is doing a
full restore from a image back to Ubuntu 10.10...
Maybe I better also checked the internet forums before clicking "yes,
upgrade" ...

Why not just use the "Ubuntu Classic" session? It's gnome 2.32.
Marti Van Lin
Because he is a lying nymshifting Microsoft Evangelist who has never
installed /any/ GNU/Linux distribution in his entire miserable life.
The MSG-headers reveal it all ;-)

Really sMarti?
Well here are the headers from that particular post.
Now why don't you explain to us how "The MSG-headers reveal it all ;-)"
Your words sMarti.
So why not educate us on this one.
Or of course you can run and hide up Roy's skirt like you usually do.

He's right about that, in the scheme of things.
