I hate Ubuntu >:(

I’ve been “upgrading” to Lucid for the last few hours. It’s not finished and I’m already worried.

I like how the installer asks you incomprehensible questions and completely pauses the installation process while it waits for your answer.  >:(

You’d think that since people were complaining about this YEARS AGO that it would be fixed by now.  My guess is that Ubuntu is so fundamentally broken that it can’t be fixed.  They have to install in a specific consecutive order, and they have to interrupt you with questions in the middle of it.

And now there are SIX kernels in the grub list.  Hopefully one of them boots.

And the window management icons have been moved to the left-hand side.  I guess they’re trying to make it easier for us to transition to a Mac…

The Disk Usage Analyzer crashes if I try to view /root

So reliable it hurts

Desktop Search used to work fine, but now it can’t find any of my files.  I can’t think of anything I’ve done that would make it stop working.  This process is familiar to anyone who has used Ubuntu.  Something works great for a few weeks/months, and then inexplicably stops, and I have to spend a few days trying to figure out how to fix it.

You can’t make this shit up

But the error screen is so pretty!

“Upgraded” my desktop to Lucid. 

“An error occurred while mounting /proc/bus/usb”.

And the Bluetooth keyboard is no longer recognized, so my computer is unusable until I find an old-school keyboard.
