Basically just cause you are facing some (minor in my opinion) problems, you want to stop the Karmic release 3 days before its due date ? Come on !!!

Beta software by definition do have bugs and issues.

Nevertheless you can always file a bug report, and with a little luck it could be fixed a little after the final release. > > The user dialogs for several subsystems are not ready yet.

Eventually a new tool would be included in a future release, or someone (why not yourself?) can make such tool and make it available to the community. > On two systems with Nvidia cards, the hardware detection tells me > that no proprietary drivers are needed.

Ubuntu offered me to install proprietary drivers, I did that on the laptop but chose to use open source drivers on the desktop. So again file a bug about your specific problem, clearly it's not a general one. > > The greatest mess is pulseausio.
