Ubuntu 11.04 sucks

Ubuntu is really getting the new windows. (nag-nag .. I’m still using it).

After installing Ubuntu 11.04 as update from 10.04 I had to face the following serious bugs:

• whole system freezes frequently and needs to be restarted
• bash-completion is a mess and does not work
• firefox4 freezes (solved by switching to chrome)
• bluetooth does not work any more

This are major bugs that makes a system unusable and many many users ran into this bug.

Additionally I faced two major annoyments:

• boot-time significantely longer
• hibernation does not work any more

And I personally find the UI the most stupid thing ever invented. Instead of a tree-based-menu where one can find and access rarely used programs and functions easily the new UI needs me to know the name of this function to find it or search a flat-list of hundreds of applications. What is smart about that one??

And it took me a while to find out how one can return to classic interface which is way better.

Possible solution courtesy of Tianair:

-Install Compiz Settings Manager:
Code:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

-Go to OpenGL plug-in & uncheck the Sync to VBlank option.

Worked for me so far.

Please excuse my bad english.

I believe there is a bug on line 1587 of /etc/bash_completion, the "-o default" on that line should be changed to "-o filenames".

This bug is really popular and you’ll find it on google almost everywhere. The solution seems to be to restart bluetoothd after every boot.

#killall bluetoothd
#bluetootd
