[olug] Ubuntu 12.04 problems?

[David Cannon]

I went from 10.04 to 12.04 on my netbook and had it lockup half way
through.  Had to do a full restore.  It did go through the second time with
no issue.  Getting Gnome up and going was pretty easy.  Just did a sudo
apt-get install gnome-shell and selected it at login.  I am still learning
the to use Linux regularly.  I have it on the netbook to play with.

Did the upgrade on a desktop with no problems first try.  Did the
gnome-shell install and then tried to remove Unity.  *Total* failure.  I
didn't think it was worth it to try and remove a second time because it
started giving me a headache, so I just left it on there once I restored
the 10.04 and upgraded again.
