My Ubuntu woes are over
Created on 14th June 2006 02:24 PM.
I'd been having some ongoing problems with Ubuntu since upgrading to Dapper Drake, but the main one was that my wireless no longer seemed to work.
After trawling the forums and filing a number of bugs (one for ndiswrapper and one for bcm43xx, neither of which was working for me), I discovered that I just had to press the "wireless button" on my laptop for it to work. Dammit. I didn't even know it was a button.
I've also reverted back to vanilla X from XGL because my video/DVD playback was slower, and there were some things I didn't go wild about with XGL:
- I didn't like some of the features of XGL that I couldn't figure out how to turn off. Specifically the way all non-selected windows fade to grey.
- Could never get Gkrellm to show in all virtual desktops consistently and in the same place
