  • Now the beta is out It's good enough for me to using it. Unfortunately I already couldn't configure my printer, so printer-applet don't works. I can't find "printer" in system-settings or in Kickoff. It was forgotten? But it is a very important setting-applet. *solved with "system-config-printer-gnome" for meanwhile*. All in all the beta is quite stable and a milestone for Kubuntu.

    • PackageKit I never get updates-notifications after "refresh".

    • The search-panel on Systemmonitor is to small. --scholli
  • oopsy at first hurdle - no app appeared in run app kde-update-notifier (nb using KDE4.2.x on 8.10). Running from shell gets process moving as described --putt1ck
    • new network manager widget didn't get added so network went from working to not working (put into non-techie experience) - and if it had been not so easy to recognise compared to old one; also didn't appear in menu when typing network in search box
    • page-up/page-down partial command line matching still not activated out of the box; as it was one of the features in SuSE that sold me Linux over Windows back in '01, kinda annoying it isn't there anymore (yes, I've heard is just a setting, but it is one that should be set by default as it is genuinely useful)
    • someone did something to the graphical stuff - lines seem cleaner? Like it anyway...
    • new splash screen beautifully understated

    • JRE not selected in OpenOffice (nb was already using 3.0 but this is now Ubuntu build from 090319)

  • installed flawlessly on my HP Pentium 4 HT with Intel graphics. Love the inclusion of Kpackagekit over adept. 3D graphics work perfectly right away. So far, a very nice desktop!
  • Personally I don`t like:
    • that all the panels like the one in Dolphin are unlocked by Default.
    • that switch by hoover in K-Menu isn`t Default.
    • that the windows doesn`t remember their height.
    +1 in this three points. (I am totally agree with you).
  • While installing from LIVE-USB-stick the installer tells me that a /dev/sdb is mounted and if I wanted to install, I should unmount. The options are "Weiter" (continue) and "Zurück" (Back). This is very confusing. I was not sure what happens. I believe that the button "Zurück" (Back) means it will unmount the drive and then it should be named that way "Unmount". BTW: The dialoge is not translated into German.

  • Shutting down the live-CD I get a message telling me that some sessions (textconsoles, the ones you normaly read throuch <ALT>+<Fx> x=1,2,3,4...

  • After starting the installed Beta, I get the notification that there are updates available. When I want to apply them I get told that I do not have the necessary rights. I am not asked for a password
  • X-server still does not start/ crashes when a second monitor is attached. Works when I detach the second monitor.
  • Sound does not work. I get a message after starting that my Intel ... does not work and that it is switching to. Then I get a message with says me what to do about it, but I never see it again. So I can not fix it, could not find anything by googling about it. I have a Thinkpad R50e

  • I used update-notifier-kde -d to upgrade from Intrepid and it worked perfectly. I would have liked to be able to select a faster mirror instead of the default one. -- brunoqc 2009-03-28 05:49:41

  • When removing a package with kpackagekit, the policykit dialog look like GTK. screen capture -- brunoqc 2009-03-28 07:16:58
