Hi, I am having problems with the installation of 8.10 as well. I
installed it yesterday onto my laptop and as soon as the desktop
appears it crashes. I cant get it to work at all. Is this something to do with my laptop, if so, will it work on my laptop, if not how do I revert back to 8.04? Thank you for your help.

I have no idea whyAh even better. The original poster can subscribe to that bug and thus get notified of any workarounds (other than those already published). Personally i can think of another way to get the CD out, but that would require a reboot.the developers decided to go ahead with release with this fairly critical bug (If you cant get a CD out of a drive, you aren't going to stick with an OS for long (this thread is a good example of that).Well from reading the link you posted it _is_ possible to get the CD out of the drive using the workaround published. I'm quite staggered that you think an entire OS release should be delayed for this! I personally use my CDROM drive once in a blue moon. I know each person has their own experience/issues with the system and has their own perception of the importance of those issues. But really, this one can't possibly be classed as "critical" by any sensible measure. Cheers, Al. |
