Notes

2008-09-08 The KDE4 version of Kubuntu 8.04 is both very shiny and very sucky. Many things are missing, such as a way to resize your desktop if X unaccountably decides your display only does 600x800. However, if you really want to try it, definitely get the upgrade to KDE 4.1 from here (repository source to add).

2007-04-24 Kubuntu 7.04 has been giving trouble for some installations.

  • It upgraded ok from Kubuntu 6.10 on a Sony Vaio PCG-F650, although the wireless card needs to be manually reactivated after booting
  • It failed to upgrade from Kubuntu 6.10 on a Compaq Presario; the upgrade seemed to complete without errors, but the machine would not boot
  • The install/liveCD would not boot unless there was a readable floppy in the A: drive
  • A fresh install seemed to complete without errors, but the machine would not boot: screenshot
