My experience upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. Several problems occurred. The major problem was the inability to connect to the internet after update and/or fresh install. The following mitigated the problem
sudo pppoeconf (follow the defaults)
sudo pon dsl-provider
You get no panel icon showing you are connected but I was connected. I await a formal fix. To log in after shutdown you must use
sudo pon dsl-provider
The second major frustration was with wine. I have an old program Bookshelf98 that I like. It installed fine in 9.04 with what I suppose to be wine 1.0. I went through the same install with 9.10 and wine 1.2. The problem was that I expected my win program to show up in applications/wine/programs like it did before. But I discovered it is now located in applications/other Who knew? Many things are better in 9.10 but these were my problems.
Does anybody know? I like to listen to shoutcast and live365 (old time radio) These sites seem to like xmms audio players. To listen well, I need a player that I can increase the default audio buffer, I need an equalizer and I need a player that will automaticly reconnect to a droped stream. In windows my best bet was itunes. Does anybody know if there is an xmms player or something as suitable to listen to streaming shoutcast and live365? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your attention, It has been great fun installing the upgrade
