Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 8.04 live, booted from CD
Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop, "Centrino Duo" processor, 1680x1050 screen (hardly
an uncommon manufacturer or model)
Logitech M-RBB93 Bluetooth mouse.
Consider I am a novice user. I am able to install Windows XP
successfully, every time I try.
I run Ubuntu from the CD to try it out.
1. I can't set the screen resolution to higher than 1280x1024, so my display is
lousy.
2. At that resolution, when I expand Firefox to full screen, it ends up larger
than that, and I have scrollbars.
3. I double click on 'Experience Ubuntu.ogg' in the 'Examples' folder, Totem
comes up, but is unable play the video. I see a black play window. (I have
never had any success with Totem in any of the three previous releases of
Ubuntu I've tried, on this and other PCs.)
4. I can't get my Bluetooth mouse working. I see it in the Bluetooth config
window, I can set it as a trusted device. But I find no way in the preferences
or admin screens, of actually enabling it as my mouse. (Maybe I missed
something?) -Yes, I can go to a terminal window, search for a HIDD, and
manually enable it. But why do I have to? Under Windows it works fine without
doing a non-intuitive or non-GUI thing like that .
Sorry guys, this release still isn't a Windows killer for me.
Nor would I be able to recommend it to other novice PC users. Sigh.
