I upgraded my 3.5-year-old Dell laptop to 12.04 last night from 11.10. It went swimmingly and everything seems to be working perfectly. Just thought I'd add a success story to help balance out the bad experiences others have had. Edit: This makes... I think... 6 consecutive, successful upgrades on this system. From 9.04 - 12.04.

"Snapping Windows" has some "edge resistance" settings. Those are for how hard it resists being pulled off. Edit: At least, I think.

That happens to me on my Dell laptop. I can use ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to a prompt and reboot from there. This only seemed to start with 12.04... The last, like, 3-4 releases slept just fine.

Oh hey, it's release day. No sign of 12.10, yet.

On the other hand, I've upgraded smoothly since 9.04 or so. Edit: Including today.

Just kidding. At least it seems to be a minor issue (not a hosed system) but DNS resolution doesn't work for me now.

Is there something in the screensaver settings for locking the screen?

I have a Thinkpad T430s headed my way and I have an mSATA SSD that I'll be putting Ubuntu on. Are there any active steps I need to take to make sure the SSD is being handled properly (turning on TRIM or whatever)? Will the installer handle everything I need it to? Is there a best-choice filesystem to use?

Is it reasonable to get a current Gnome3 desktop in Ubuntu? Or what's the best Gnome3 setup on a Debian-based system?

I have no experience with Medibuntu, but from the main website:quote:The Medibuntu repository is unmaintained. We recommend that you do not use it. The entire sources.list.d directory is a 404, too, so... I don't know, maybe it's all gone now.

If you have a >= 1GB flash drive sitting around, you can download the ISO for free and boot it off the USB stick.
