Hi Bristol and Bath Linux group,
Hoping to do an exchange with someone experienced with Ubuntu. I'm in Bristol.
I'm new to Ubuntu. My 12.4 version is crashing my harddrive since I downloaded 'hardware support up-date" in early August; and I've lost some basic functions I normally use all the time.
I believe I need to un-install those up-dates to regain functionality, and all my searches on-line on how to do this have proved fruitless.
Also, as my netbook is quite old and the OS has never run well - I think i need to bite the bullet and get a new machine.So would be glad of some advice re: identifying laptops that would meet my needs and run well with the lastest Ubuntu version.
Meantime, I need my netbook functionality back.
I can offer Shiatsu treatment (Japanese physio-therapy) for injury rehab or stress management, in exchange.(Professional Practitioner for 15 years.)
Would love to hear from you!Kind regards,Claire-Lilith__,_._,___

Hi Claire,
I lost some functionality with Ubuntu 12.4 on my old vaio laptop. Updated
it with the new 14.04 Ubuntu and it works like a dream. Could be just that
it needs to be updated and that's why you've lost some functionality.
Think the new Ubuntu version came in v.recently.
Best,
Indu :)

Hi,
I use Fedora (but have a ruptured Achilles!) so am no expert but did a
quick google and got the following recent post which might be useful:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/454722/is-14-04-best-release-for-a-netbook
Hope this helps.

I have a lot of expereince helping new users get set up with Ubuntu from
online, since I used to help a lot with that a few years ago, for a few
years. I don't tend to use Ubuntu myself any more though, because of
another Linux distribution, but I believe that I can probably help you.

Hardware support up date, what do you mean? Do you mean the normal
online updates from the repositories/repos?

Which basic functions?

Unfortunately once updates are installed into Ubuntu for now, it isn't
so simple to just go back to how things were before they got installed
for now, because of various reasons. Also generally the idea is that
updates are meant to stay installed, and not cause problems, but
sometimes they might. You might be experiencing a bug with a problem
update, or an update that doesn't work so well on your specific computer.

How old is your net book? Which Windows version did it come with,
assuming it came with WIndows pre intalled? How much RAM does the
machine have as well?
It would probably be worth trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS,
however depending on what the issues are, and the reasons for them,
they might be still there after an upgrade. You can try doing a Long
Term Support release to Long Term Support release online upgrade, or a
clean install. Generally online upgrades work, but it's cleaner to do a
proper clean install. With a clean install then won't be upgrade issues
caused by for example things left behind from versions of software that
hasn't been removed properly, like there may be with an online upgrade.
It may be worth buying a new machine, however there are bound to be
quite a few Linux distribution or more with a suitable graphical user
interface that will work well on the net book. In fact usually with the
correct distribution and interface, a lot of life can be breathed into
old hardware using Linux
When it comes to the interfaces, some use more hardware resources than
others, so at times all that is needed is something more lite weight
and then things work better. For example Unity, GNOME 3, and KDE, can
all be quite heavy, but LXDE, XFCE, Mate, and Cinnamon can work much
better on older machines. On your netbook you might be better off
running something such as Lubuntu with LXDE or Xubuntu with XFCE,
instead of Ubuntu with it's default Unity interface. Most other
interfaces can easily be installed into an already existing Ubuntu
install as well, and then used.
Claire we have our usual informal Linux User Group pub meeting at the
Knights Templar Pub next Saturday the 27th in the afternoon. You are
welcome to come along with your net book for some help, or if you would
like to for another reason, if you can make it.
Kind Regards
Sebastian
