some successsome successPosted Nov 1, 2008 22:51 UTC (Sat) by rbill (guest, #54993)In reply to: Ubuntu 8.10 has been released by rbill Parent article: Ubuntu 8.10 has been released
Following up my own comment, I did a fresh install of 8.10. It went much better. The annoying screen flicker remained, but at least I was able to apply the workaround. Sadly, though wireless is still broken. I had no luck getting working. It looks to be a known bug since before the release date.
Too bad, for me it is a definite showstopper. :-(
Regretfully, I have to return to using Hardy. When I see the bug fixed, I'll give it another try.
I got a better impression of Intrepid with a mostly working system. It certainly looks promising. Based on my experience, doing fresh install over an upgrade is the better way to go.

Thanks Ubuntu, for really improving the Debian system. :/

To give some more anecdote facts, I also upgraded to Kubuntu 8.10.
All went ok, no problems whatsoever. All hardware detected all right. Even the compiz 3D effects where working all right (except for some "noise" just after opening new windows and before the window background is filled).
Very nice visual, cools icons, but... I hate KDE4...
To redeem myself, instead of "downgrading" back to my 8.04 32-bit Kubuntu, I decided to finally try the 8.04.1 64-bit Kubuntu, so I can still say I made an upgrade to my system :-)
On the other hand, everything seems to be working on 64-bits as well, after the usual fight with the sound card volume controls.
