I blindly upgraded to 11.10 Xubuntu on both the latptop and work machine and have regretted it ever since. Not only did it not offer any new value, it have had stability issues that I never saw with 11.04.
- mike-cardwell 15y agoThis is why it's my policy to wait a few months after a release before upgrading. Gives them the chance to iron out the worse bugs, and for people to write about problems like battery life.
- m_for_monkey 15y agoThe problem is that you upgraded. I did the same and got the same result but a clean Xubuntu install works like a charm.
- Random_Person 15y agoPossibly. I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 without a hitch and was hopeful that they hat sorted the standard upgrade issues. I personalize my installs so much that I really hate fresh loads, but I'll be doing only that in the future. Maybe I'll stick to long-term releases only.
- m_for_monkey 15y agoI reply to that comment after two days, I don't know if you or anyone else will read this. My rules of upgrade: 1. Keep your home folder in a separate partition. 2. Backup at least your system partition before upgrading using Remastersys [1]. It creates a live CD/DVD from your custom Debian/Ubuntu system. 3. If the upgrade fails, restore the old system or install the new version and copy/adapt your config files from the backup. [1] http://remastersys.sourceforge.net/ http://remastersys.sourceforge.net/
