Hello:
After last night's updates, my system locked up. Upon resetting it with the Magic SysRq key, I had two rather large problems.
First and less important, the scrolling on my touchpad is broken once again. It spent some time being broken during the Jaunty alphas but I downgraded and that resolved it for the short term. In my brief search last night, I was unable to find the old package. I also don't want to file a bug report until I know whether it's an actual bug or just something stupid on my end.
EDIT: Amazing what being awake will do; I found the package and downgraded successfully. Scrolling is fixed.
The second problem is a lot more troublesome. I live with Konsole open all the time. I love my command line, and when I went to log in, I get blank windows with no prompt and no way to type in them. Now I had this problem during the Jaunty alpha and made a script that mounted /dev/pts on bootup, since apparently it was failing to mount. Running that did not fix the problem this time. I've been flipping to Ctrl+Alt+F1, but that's frustrating and takes more time.
Any thoughts on these issues? I'm running the latest Kubuntu alpha packages with KDE4.2.85 and the new kernel.
