I advise against upgrading to the rc from Gusty. Not only do I have the major graphics rpoblems mentioned in my other thread but just now apt-get has really screwed up my system. I had CUPs printer server problems when upgrading to Gusty but thought maybe I can sort this out with Hardy. Used apt-get to unisntall all CUPS related things, rebooted, apt-get installed all CUPs components again and then ran an apt-get update for good measure.....
I was busy doing some working letting this happen in the background. I found apt-get had uninstalled a load of packages it claimed were no longer required. Unfortunately it uninstalled all the important packages such as network support! I was left with no internet acces, a non-functioning KDE, and seemingly no way to access may USB hard disk since USB support was removed.
Hence I have no way of repairing or backing up my system..... I'm going to download the Gusty CD and boot off the CD to try and make a back up, and then reinstall Gusty.
Ubuntu really seems to be going downhill, or is it just me?
