Since Jaunty, the OSD volume control with multimedia keys randomly stops working. Right now, for instance, when I push the keys, the OSD pops up, but it just shows the “Mute” display no matter what I’m pushing, and the sliders don’t move. It’s not in mute, though. I’m sick of all these PulseAudio bugs.
After installing Karmic, my Bluetooth keyboard stopped working. Maybe it will work again in six months.
Why don’t untrusted .desktop files have an icon? They look like text files, which is stupid. Give them an “untrusted” icon.
Internet keeps disconnecting randomly with no explanation. Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn’t help. Killing and restarting services doesn’t help. Toggling the hardware Wi-Fi switch doesn’t help. Only a reboot will fix it.
Sound is choppy in Jaunty, which didn’t happen in Intrepid. Trying a proposed kernel to fix it with Intel cards.
Yesterday I disconnected my external USB drive so that I could copy files off it to my laptop. When I was done, I plugged it back into the desktop, where it previously worked perfectly. Now it doesn’t appear on the desktop’s shared files anymore, and when I log in locally and try to mount it, it pops up THREE different dialogs, one of which says “”.
Why is pulseaudio hogging all my bandwidth? I’m not playing any audio. You’re just sending 1,500,000 zeros per second over the network for no good reason?
AptURL windows don’t have any buttons for them on the taskbar, so if you click something else, it will open up behind other windows and there’s no way to get to it without minimizing everything. (Just like Windows!) If you try to install something else, it gives an error because of the hidden window.
Ubuntu is parking my hard drive at least 250 times per hour. I’m sure that’s good for it.
I am trying to make a CD and it is taking FOREVER and giving me trouble. GRRR LINUX
When Linux runs out of memory, you are screwed.
When I copy a file and then paste it into the terminal, couldn’t you automatically add the quotes around the path so filenames with spaces don’t screw up my commands?
Oh right, I’m supposed to only use ASCII and underscores in filenames like it’s 1990.
Do I really need to see a bunch of different kernel versions, each with their own recovery mode entries, and memtest and whatever else at every boot? Couldn’t it just say “Ubuntu” and “Windows”?
If the proprietary nvidia driver fails to load, couldn’t it, like, fallback to the free nv driver? Or some universal low-res mode that always works? You know, like Windows does? Those garbled BSOD X server error screens should be avoided at all costs.
It happened again. The system load average goes way up, the temperature goes up, but the CPU does not go up. This time I think it was related to Totem, as Firefox was closed. I have no explanation.
When a video fails to load in Windows, Media Player turns the title red and moves onto the next one in the playlist.
When a video fails to load in Ubuntu, Totem pops up a modal dialog error box.
Gaim keeps crashing. I don’t know why.
