I have Ubu 14.04 on a bootable USB stick for testing... It boots fine, but has some display driver issues....using a Nvidia graphics card that exhibits the same problems I had coming from Ubu 10.04 to 12.04....zig-zag lines, hung screens, etc.... question: would it be beneficial going to 13.04 from 12.04 before going to 14.04 or is there some other sequence I should do 1st ??? 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.04 to 14.04 maybe TIA...Tommy

There's a problem with nouveau for sure. I have a bug report on the System-Settings freeze. The "zig-zag" lines I only had on Kubuntu. I solved that by first boot using nomodeset and then from second boot on nouveau worked fine.

I see no grub menu to edit the boot file.... Tommy
I think its 'F6' and then go to the end of the line , type a space then nomodeset, thenreturn. I use loop-back and haven't used the cd/dvd install in a while.

BTW...you have exactly same HW as mine...AMD Athlon K8-64 Dual Core + NvidiaGEforce 6150se graphics so it must be possible to make it work Tommy
OK nomodeset worked for the display problem... now if I can just get my wifi working reliably I'll be happy have already tried blacklisting the native realTek drivers and running RTL8192xC_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20121105.zip but it crashed...maybe it's for an older kernel ??? will check the forums for wireless problems under 14.04
Moved to Ubuntu +1. You do know that 14.04 will not be released until 2014, in month o4? Only testers that want to look for bugs should be attempting to use it. Plus the daily just opened so it is mostly just 13.10, but may change and break daily.
