Installed fresh on Friday. Only very small glitches. Have Chrome Stable and Dropbox added. Trying to be minimal in tweaking so as not to upset anything.

Small issues I've had:
1) Have had to...

Critical appears to be 120 degrees, so I'm pretty safe.

Thanks, Yeah I'm not worried either... Machine never gets hot to the touch. Just runs warm. and the fan runs. It's more a slight annoyance than anything.

It definitely seems to be tied to memory...

Hi,
I'm a very happy owner of a Lemu4, but the machine always seems to run hotter than it should.

With Thunderbird, half a dozen Chromium tabs open, and LibreOffice, the temperature will climb...

It's the Lemu4. Most recent model. Came with 4gb ram. Looked inside and saw one chip of samsung RAM in one slot. Other slot was empty.
And thanks. I've had a lot of success with Crucial, so that...

Happy Lemur Ultra owner. I think it's time to upgrade the drive to an SSD.
I'm looking at 250 gb Samsung or maybe a Crucial 256. Any reason there'd be a problem with either one? I doubt it, but...

Hey Subito,

Same thing happened to me. I was able to easily download individual mp3s from the browser, so no loss. Hopefully you figured this out, too by now.

But Banshee completely failed to...

I'm glad Ubuntu is not going to stick us with a Nautilus that is far less feature-rich. At least I hope not.

I can appreciate GNOME's looking towards the future, but don't get why that means...

Agree with Mint's theme chooser. First thing I do with a new Ubuntu install is grab the Faenza icons and go with the Mediterranean night GTK theme and windows decorations. Just makes the whole thing...

I tried the webapps preview, too (though not on my System76, but my lucky test Dell) and it didn't go well. It treated my system as requiring several partial upgrades and I had some other...

The "dot" is the microphone.

I'm sure you realize, too, that needing a PPA is about Ubuntu and not System76. No need, really, to get into a Unity discussion. That's been had to death. Suffice it...

The UltraLap,despite it's silly name, looks pretty nice. When I was pricing out laptops ad looking at specs, System 76 offered more than ZaReason by a pretty comfortable margin. I couldn't beat the...

Would love a System76 version of:

Solved the issue by installing Fedora 17, which works perfectly. It must have been some weird Ubuntu Gnome Shell hardware thing.

Haven't left Ubuntu -- still love it and use it on my primary work...

This is a quirky issue. I'm running gnome shell with ubuntu 12.04. Everything else, so far has run smoothly.

When I connect my Android phone via USB, the notification pops up, asking me what I'd...

Wow. I'm bookmarking this thread for future reference. Good work Shadius and Wilee Nilee.

Shadius, If it makes you feel maybe a little bit better, I thought I'd relay my Cinnamon experiences after...

Yeah it looks like a graphics card problem (it's always graphics hardware). And Mint won't run any better. Maybe Mate would, but I have no idea. I think you're out of luck with Cinnamon until that 2d...

OK...
First: you do have the gnome shell package installed. That's what is presenting you with those choices of gnome, classic, etc. Gnome is the gnome 3.4 environment.

Second: There is no...

The icon themes are universal in my experience. But other things are not. Changing icons will influence your run of DEs. I'm curious about your gnome fallback session... I thought that was part of...

Hi shadius,

I too have gnome shell and cinnamon installed, and I've found that then settings for both -- cinnamon settings and gnome tweak tool (advanced settings) don't really overlap. Theme...

I hear you on resources. Ubuntu supposedly only needs a gig of RAM, but Unity hits swap on my 2gb RAM laptop all the time. I think it really needs 3 to 4 gigs to be comfortable and run even a couple...

But the original poster was trying to find the most "user friendly" way to transition people from Vista to Linux. I Like Gnome Shell because it is the most forward thinking, and the extension...

I successfully did this a while back and used synaptic package manager. I think a search for xubuntu or xfce turned up all the packages I needed to remove completely.

Not asking to be confrontational, but I'm really curious: What is the thing you need to do with your DE that you can no longer do. I've tried nearly everything out there -- KDE, LXDE, XFCE, Cinnamon,...

I actually have no real beef with unity or Gnome 3, but I tried Cinnamon last week, and I'm loving it.

Unity is fine and has very cool features, but I really don't need lenses and I don't need...
