Two or three days ago, I got a major update for 10.04 in my Dell Vostro laptop . I think when I enabled it, it mentioned something like 97 bug fixes, if my quick glance was correct, which is probably a clue as to which update it was.
An hour or two later, I needed KATE. I tend to type major Web postings on KATE, then copy and paste when I finish. This comes from too many postings over the years lost by URL glitch. Also, more important postings, I tend to save to my HD for future reference. (I write a lot.) I clicked the icon in the bar across the bottom, and got a KDE crash handler message for KATE. Again. Again. I opened a terminal and typed kate, and it came up normally. When I finished my typing, I tried the icon again, and it again gave me the crash handler. I thought it over, and when I remembered the major update, I rebooted and the KATE icon works perfectly now. I realize this is no big deal for most home users who reboot from time to time. TSC might get nasty, heh, heh, but I think they use Redhat. And, I cannot supply the information you want, because by its nature it is not duplicable. But, it is so unusual to need to reboot to fully implement an update that I felt I should at least mention it, even if it is not a full fledged bug. Had I not been engrossed in my posting, I would have chased it down. Or, at least I'd like to think so. To me, this installation of 10.04 is almost perfect. I had it on another partition, and it developed a major mess up in Firefox scrolling which to this date I was unable to fix. So, I simply reinstalled in another partition, but this new one is the best OS I have ever had installed. I do so much with it, including major editing with GIMP of old damaged photos. (1890 and newer.) Love it. I have it on an old desktop e-machine and it is that good, there, too. I am sticking with it until the boxes die or support runs out. -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
