Some annoyances are so typical Ubuntu, it's almost as if they keep them in as easter eggs. What are your favourite annoyances?
For me, from Ubuntu 6 up till 9, I've always had that after a while of normal using and updating, the 'shutdown' begins to occasionally malfunction and behave like a reboot in stead. I usually press the power down button before I flee my home, but recently when I come back the computer is still on again.
Now my friend talked to me the other day: Hey my machine is restarting X when I tell it to shut down! And I felt it was time for a thread like this. :P
Also but less frequent, every once in a while something happens that makes the theme (colors, icons) temporarily show something alternative. As if it resets to default, slightly uglier, but it's actually not the default because I never change the one it came with. Never understood that one either. Makes me wonder if both themes are in the computer memory.
Oh and finally the mistery of the disappearing mouse cursor! Sometimes the pointer just hides on some area's of the screen! Restarting X usually fixes this.
What's your typical Ubuntu annoyance?
These cases are from all times throughout history and I've encountered them on many different computers. They are not one-bad-computer incidents. Don't get me wrong, I love Ubuntu. :) But these are so common to me, like BSoD is to Windows.
