[ubuntu-uk] more issues with 8.10

[Ken Robson]

In reply to multiple posts...

1. I use the dvd drive allot, I view/burn many dvd's and if it is going 
to re-insert it on eject then not on.
2. I still have another 2 machines running with 8.04 (xbuntu) and 8.10 
(with some issues) but this is my main pc and the issues I have had 
since upgrading on Thursday/Friday mean that I need a more stable OS. So 
far today I have tried (via live cd's) another 7 distro's and at the 
moment I have installed a x86 version of Mint (another 'buntu off shoot) 
, one of the main reasons for dropping x64 version was when ever I 
wanted to install something not in the repo's I HAD to compile it and 
usually there were issues, at least with the x86 version I have a chance 
to find a .deb file, or the compilation will succeed. (I have no 
problems with compiling the s/w but when there is cast issues I don't 
have the patience to fix them anymore. When I started coding 30 years 
ago this wasn't a problem ;-) but I haven't really done any programming 
in the past 8 years.)
As a developer I believe that the beta testing is for getting rid of 
issues like this, One of the reasons I left M$ OS's behind was the 
issues in Vi$ta, after spending 10 years supporting M$ os's I had enough 
when I would switch on the pc and not have any networking... I then 
switched to Ubuntu and have mostly been pleased with it since then.
3. the screen saver issue, I don't know what is causing it, I have 
disabled the SS and so far it is behaving, the video card on that pc is 
the intel 915 onboard (so far my only pc running 8.10)

I may come back in a month or so and see if the issues have been fixed.
As to reading the release notes, who these days RTFM's?
