Would agree with your comments. 7.10 should be viewed as a Beta release In my case, I upgraded my own system and stopped there.
As a professional, I would not upgrade a windows release without testing it for a few (several) months, so I was careless to assume Gutsy would be reliable in first release. The result of the Feisty upgrade being troublefree, I assumed Gutsy would be also. (Note that courageous is the more common meaning of Gutsy. An alternative meaning is not praiseworthy.. simply the result of too much food) In my case, Gutsy properly supports 1680x1050 LCD screen, so the desktop looks brilliant. I was using 1600x1024 which was slightly out and obviously not as sharp. On the downside, yesterday I got 4 system lockups requiring the reset button. I use Gnome as my windows manager, so both KDE and Gnome have similar problems. Besides the system lockups I have two distinct problems. Text on the screen becomes garbled, with typically the last character in a line missing and corruption at the start of the line. When this happens it is a warning to save work and quickly reboot. Problem occurs in Firefox, Thunderbird and a terminal window running Vi Portions of text are obscured by an invisible diagonal line at about 7 degrees, lower on the right, with text visible below the line and clear above the line. Scrolling the window causes the text to be displayed correctly. This problem is occuring frequently and is just an annoyance, as it does not seem to cause any damage. Problem occurs in Firefox and Thunderbird, not relevant to Vi. This problem has just appeared in the text I am typing now and has now disappeared as the text caused the window to scroll as I typed. I guess this is firefox -- Gutsy release overall quality and regressions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
