Offhand the past 5 days helping user with what broke has been adventurous...
I think the main update issue lies in the dist-upgarde process. In the last 3 dev testing cycles, one thing has been nagging at ne is that there is no prior testing to see if an existing previous version will successfully do a distribution upgrade to the pre-release. That would see before hand what things would break right? Instead, we just did it. Along side of this is new installs. There is existing bugs and issues graphically with the installer, that we tell users to correct manually. Can we not add some kind of logic to sort some of these issues out? It already probes hardware to configure an install. It already has a user selected 3rd party button to configure proprietary software. Could it not configure appropriate graphics drivers, so that the first reboot doesn't end at the now infamous blackscreen? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876146 Title: Upgrading Ubuntu is risky (unusable or unbootable PC).
