Ubuntu users, Xorg upgrade, don't take it

<< < (3/4) > >>

Calum:
i've seen xorg updates, in fact when the red hat apt repos started using Xorg my system ended up pretty hosed.

by the way just having X not work is not "unuseable" as somebody said above, and surely a quick apt-get upgrade will fix it, after the fact, which anybody using a system with apt installed on it should know how to do.

GenuineAdvantage:
Well I really don't get why anyone would take the effort to go to a forum to insult a distro they are already using because they received a bad update. If they are posting the message they obviously know what the problem is and have a means to fix. But I do know this will probably scare off some newbies without commitment. Boo! it's console commands. Maybe that's for the best? Well I know some people would love if linux didn't try to become idiot proof.

piratePenguin:
A bad update is when you gotta fuck with the config files.
This is among the worst updates I can imagine, for a distro like Ubuntu especially.

 Considering that it'd effectively kill off all but the most intelligent Windows users, I'd be praising the saints and any deity I could think of (holy binity included).  If they can't use the commandline, they'd be forced to use Mac - and those are far too expensive for the truly incompetent to warrant purchase orders.  ;)

cymon:
I had a similar issue on a new Debian install. Dist-upgraded to Etch, then installed the latest version of XOrg, which failed to start due to some bad fonts.
