Laptop Upgrade

I decided to experiment with the cutting edge development version of Ubuntu, feisty fawn by installing it on my laptop. It didn’t go to well at all! The updater bottomed out in style so I tried to use sudo to gain root privileges and it segfaulted. Oh noes with no way to gain root and all my applications segfaulting I rebooted, surprise surprise it refused to boot. Oh well… at least I have that USB IDE 2.5″ enclosure so I can backup the few bits of data I need. But now I got to apply all the tweaks I applied, sigh.

    i had my x22 upgraded too to feisty, and still have hibernate problem. suspend works fine except i see green bar just below tool bar. nice to know somebody else having the same condition because its hard to find it (ubuntu (feisty 0r edgy) on ibm thinkpad x22).
    keep up your work!

    I don’t appear to have the problem with my X22 and hibernating, then again I generally don’t use hibernate, suspend works fine though. Do you have the closed source ATi drivers installed as these maybe causing issues when resuming?

    Thanks, you may want to subscribe to this feed: http://www.cs278.org/blog/category/technology/network/eddie/feed/ (all the posts about my X22 will be there)
