Hi all,

as the title suggests, if you wish to try out out Ubuntu 13.10; there are a couple of things I would like to make you aware of:

1: DON'T SELECT TO INSTALL UPDATES WHILST INSTALLING UBUNTU13.10 AS IT WILL KILL THE KERNEL AND WHEN YOU REBOOT, YOU WILL GET A MESSAGE ABOUT KERNEL PANIC!.

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubunt ... 71141.html

(The above link is slighty old but still actual!)

Do a full system update once you have installed using "DPKG" per this guide (Network cable Required!):

2: if you use the 64 Bit version and have trouble installing a 64 Bit 3rd party package, download the 32 Bit version of the same app and try using that, use "Gdebi" to install it!.

You might want to install the package "libgcc1":

Code:
sudo apt-get install libgcc1


and:

3: Google Earth version 7.1 still sucks, download and use MV's copy of GE from his link here:

4: Installed "Fallback Mode" (old Gnome 2 Classic look) and it doesn't show any icons on the top panel at all!.

Hope it helps.

Regards Wolfman :D

Xubuntu 13.10 64-Bit.

Working > Mate Desktop

Nvidia Drivers installed like they should. >Geforce-210<

3.11.0-12-generic kernel

Software Center did act a little on the weird side.
Due to packaging/compatibility issues I guess.
Ubuntu Tweak is one of the unlucky ones.

XfCE/Xubuntu won this round in my book.
