I don't know if you have noticed but most of the people complaining in here about Jaunty have done an upgrade rather than a clean install. I don't know why but for some reason the upgrade process isn't going as it should.

It may be a little more work, but is well worth it. Back up /home then transfer it back after the install. Most of your config files are in /home. Once you reinstall your programs their settings on your old install will be restored.

To have most of your programs you already have restored after the clean install follow this how to : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7157175&postcount=5 Saved me a lot of work when I did my clean installs.
