However, on my Fujitsu Siemens V5515 fresh install to 10.10, the only real issue was with the display drivers. This is a standard problem with the Sis display card. Was "quite" easily solved using the drivers on this page.

I also couldn't connect to ethernet during the install, but it didn't cause any problems.

On the whole, a very stable release in my limited experience

I upgraded my misses's HP/Compaq Mini 1000 netbook too from 10.4, and all went well. Had a few probs (can't remember what! lol), but sorted them out, not too much trouble...

I upgraded from 10.04 UNE and most things went fine, but am having 1 major problem with the wacom stylus not working well with the leftside icons-bar and top panel. As I'm on a tablet with stylus as the only input option this is a major problem

I've been running Ubuntu since 9.04 on this Dell Studio 1735 laptop, and every upgrade/installation has been completely trouble-free.

I upgraded from 10.04 LTS, rather than doing a clean install.

What didn't work straight away was VMWare Player, and Sopcast.

I corrected both of these as documented here: http://uri.tl/17 and here: http://uri.tl/18

I've been very happy with 10.10 so far...as I was with the previous versions.

I can't vote in poll either.

I ran into a kernel bug that prevented X from running (blacklisting intel_ips worked around bug); got it running by asking questions here, and posting dmesg output with the kernel OOPS.

That's the only major problem so far - fresh install.

absolute beautiful upgrade

Upgraded from 10.04 64-bit in about an hour yesterday and the only problem I have also existed in 10.04 on an HP 6510b. When the laptop is plugged into AC power and the lid is closed it will not suspend. Resolution is to unplug the laptop, close lid/suspend and plug back in, no biggie.

I haven't fully tested every aspect of the system and how I use it but so far there have been zero issues; Virtualbox works as before, I'm able to access all Windows shares on my network, existing printers still functioning, no slow downs or lags while using GNOME.

Also, can't vote.

latest update ; major disaster. Grub won't let me boot Ubuntu and back to first grub screen and have to resort to Windows 7.
