Gutsy Gibbon on a laptop - Monday, November 19, 2007 2:49 pm
The United States prison system is a total failure

I upgraded my laptop to ubuntu's "gutsy gibbon" this weekend and found many a problem:

1) The video starts all outta whack
I had to add some stuff to my xorg.conf so my video would be in an even usable state

2) The upgrade did NOT upgrade my wireless drivers
My wireless card, a broadcom piece of crap, is not supported by native linux drivers.  You must run the windows drivers "wrapped" in ndiswrapper.
The NDISWRAPPER source package was NOT upgraded and I had to get it on my desktop and transfer it over a usb drive to get wireless working again. 
Annoying

3) Compiz fusion is broken
Gutsy comes with compiz, but you must remove all packages having to do
with compiz and emerald before the gutsy repositories' version will work.
I used the trevino repositories, and you have to run a command similar to
the following to remove everything:

apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l |{awk /emerald/||/compiz/||/libdeco/{print $2}}`

and then follow it up by removing whatever repository you were
using for compiz from your /etc/apt/sources.list

The fusion-icon is NOT available in the gutsy repositories, and you have to
run compiz from the command line with  "compiz --replace" to get it to start.
A little annoying to say the least.

4) Loading dbus hangs, but I had that problem before upgrading... maybe it's a deskbar problem?

5) The volume controls SUCK.  I use the scroll wheel, and the indicator on my task bar says "muted" and the volume buttons produce a very similar effect.

6) Upon login, my wireless card is *not* associated with any network, and the networking card is down.  You must associate the fucking card with an ESSID and then tell it to turn on. 

I know most of this crap can be automated through making a script, and adding the script to startup programs and whatnot.  I can easily do this, but I shouldn't have to. 
The OS should have these kind of things in mind.  I have to say overall I have also not noticed any real improvements in the interface, so I cannot recommend upgrading from feisty to gutsy for any reason ATM.
