| 1136002 | 2010-09-13 05:49:00 | ...even though my router has no support for IPv6, and Ubuntu supports it, it does not cause IPv4 to fail for me.That's good - that's how it's supposed to behave :thumbs:. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1136003 | 2010-09-13 08:25:00 | And as such dkjMusic's problem doesn't make much sense. Then again, I know not much about Linux, which is why I use Ubuntu. |

I'm beginning to think that Ubuntu, 10.04 at least, is the most problematic of the Linux distributions for newbies like me. As I mentioned above, I wish I could scroll a page at a time (or at least more than 3 lines). Also, I'd like to change the Trash icons (empty and full). But just as with this internet connection problem, I Googled the bejeezus out of both issues, got lots of hits, and am yet to find solutions. |

| 1136005 | 2010-09-14 00:32:00 | Maybe you should get Kubuntu instead. I have found the Kubuntu forum to be much more helpful than the Ubuntu one. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1136006 | 2010-09-14 05:30:00 | Maybe you should get Kubuntu instead... Baaaad idea. While KDE is awesome (and in my humble opinion beats the socks off Gnome), it's very much a second-class citizen on Ubuntu. |

In 9.04 the standby/hibernate function would never work but it works perfectly in 10.04; also the wireless drivers seem to be much better too. Overall the system seems more stable to me.

| 1136011 | 2010-09-15 12:43:00 | Mmm, basis or not, Ubuntu does have a track record of releasing bugs into what is supposed to be a stable distribution. That is one of the reasons why I avoid it wherever possible. It is a good distro for people new to Linux though, as long as they don't try to upgrade it without someone available to fix it for them if something breaks. |
