Greetings all,
I'm just writing to find out how people have gone with their Oneric Oncelot upgrade.
My experience ... Have switched laptop and desktop computers to Ubuntu 11.10, 32-bit. Laptop was fine. Hiccup with desktop ... booted CD live system fine, but install stalled part way. Tried stand-alone install - that worked fine. Couple of surprises. Desktop 11.04 said graphics was not up to scratch for "Unity" and ran Gnome instead. However, 11.10 runs Unity without problems. Scribus is at a watershed ... has a new file format which, of course, cannot be read by older versions, and it cannot save a file in the old format. I've yet to find if the desktop on the desktop system is stable. In 11.04, occasionally the windows would go haywire for 20-30 secs. The problem did not occur on the laptop. Skype is a bit odd. It won't run from the unity launcher - currently running it from the command line. Installation was a bit peculiar too - package manager said it wasn't found, yet gave me an "install" button ... which worked! Michael
