I've finally installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit, clean install, single boot) and am now in the process of installing software and setting everything up the way I want it, but I'm having a few problems.
In case it's relevant, I've reverted to the Gnome desktop, for now at least, and I've installed the restricted extras.
I'm not aware of any major problems with my internet connection, though I'm continually receiving a "disconnected" message (every few seconds) followed by the "connecting" animation.
It was only after installing Gnome that I was able to get the update manager to work at all, and then it logged me out half way through the download and hasn't worked since. The download box appears, but there's no progress bar and it eventually fails, often shutting down on it's own or remaining frozen.
I've tried customising my workspace switcher, but if I switch to another workspace I get a completely blank screen. Surprisingly (to me at least) Ctrl+Alt+Del returns me to what I was working on before, but the workspace reverts to the default.
I'm sure I'll have a few more problems before I'm finished, but I'm hoping someone can help me with these.
