Intrepid Ibex Vs Hardy Heron

It was way back the time i had updated to Ubuntu Ibex. So many bugs ever seen after the upgrade. Most of the application failure issues can still be tolerate, but the most concern trigger me is the failure on the gnome terminal! Man, linux without console is like the car without steering... how am i going to drive it? I need to fix this.

After browse through the Ubuntu ticket list, i decided to gave up my initial thought. There are too many bugs seen on Ibex pending for closure. Is this upgrade worth it? I will downgrade to Heron once the current system backupped.


Just to name few major bugs that bitting my ass:

1. Bad graphic driver

  • Detail: Unable to load the 3D graphic
  • Damaged 3: No google map, no Elisa
2. Restart system
  • Detail: System will stuck at the exit screen when ctrl+alt+backspace
  • Damaged 1: Need to press power button to force it closed
3. Gnome terminal
  • Detail: System graphic mess up when execute the terminal
  • Damaged 100+: Cannot see anything on the screen. No console means nothing else i can do!
4. System volume
  • Detail: The system sound is not loud enough
  • Damaged 5: I need to tune up the speaker in order to catch the sound.
5. Add/Remove Programme panel
  • Detail: No application listed on the panel
  • Damaged 10: How am i going to add/remove application???
These buggie should be enough to justify for a downgrade call
(painful action for me >_< )
