Hello David, Could you test a live-cd. Do not install, but just use it with the live session. Tell us if problems occurs? Have a nice day :) <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 12:16 AM, David Gerard <<a href="mailto:dgerard@gmail.com" target="_blank">dgerard@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">So I got my shiny new work Toshiba Portege R830-13C and put Xubuntu 12.04 on it. It occurred to me that it's September, so I dist-upgraded it to 12.10. Two problems and a hard-to-find option: 1. Power meter: it crashes, lots. This is a known bug with many duplicates. (The main bug is marked "private", which is not entirely helpful given all the duplicates are public.) This is what I get for running a beta. 2. I can't change the brightness, at all - there's no icon to do so and, now, the keyboard brightness buttons don't work (they did in 12.04). 3. Somewhere in 12.04 was a setting to switch off the trackpad when typing. I can't find this option again - it's still on after the upgrade, but I want to try it disabled again. Help and ideas with any of these most welcomed. - d. -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
