Hi - Now I have 12.10 running on this was-Windows machine, via the USB
stick
booting method, I have one or two teething troubles with it. Generally
one
or two restarts will sort them out, but not all of them. The main thing
I'm
vexed by is that I can't prevent it from switching off the screen after
ten
minutes inactive, even though I have put the settings in both the "Power"
and "Brightness and Lock" to never switch the screen off. Is there any
third
control that could be doing this?
You say it switches off after 10 mins, what happens if you set it (in
Brightness and Lock) to 5 mins? What if you set it to 1 hour? Have you got
Lock Off in Brightness and Lock? Colin
Yup, I've tried all that; it's just stuck in 10 minute mode. Apart from
that, there's nothing that's actually stuck, though quite a few things
didn't work first time and needed reboots. Oh, and it can't configure
Bluetooth on this machine (Compaq CQ58). Bluetooth just shows as "disabled"
whether the hardware switch (f11) is on or off. I've never used Bluetooth
and have no need for it, but I suspect this may be a common problem.

Indeed. Thank you very much for finding those. It looks as if the Ubuntu
team have been working to fix this for several months. But as a matter
of fact, in my case, I think it may not be a specific bug of that sort,
but rather a general tendency for new settings to be slow to take
effect, or require repeated re-application before they finally take
effect. This is my impression after making the large number of GUI
personal settings that one always does, to get one's GUI exactly to
one's taste. So, if that's the case, it will clear of its own accord.
