Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid |

Finally getting back into using my laptop as a testbed for the newest Ubuntu betas. After having some issues with Karmic (which I updated to on Thursday, and found that my laptop would randomly lose power - my netbook is doing fine, my desktop has been running it since around release time), I decided I'd try Lucid. I booted into an older kernel, which alleviated my random shutdowns, and upgraded.
So my first thoughts:
- Yeah, yeah, the window buttons. I fixed those with a simple configuration change. Sorry, Shuttleworth, I don't even use the default theme, and whatever you're working on is probably not something I'm going to use anyway.
- What the hell happened to my Compiz config? I thought I was safe enough using GConf to store my settings, but it appears some of my minor appearance settings have been changed a bit.
- Murrine isn't accepting my dark gray scroll bar - it's now the highlight color (blue). While I can get used to this, it makes my laptop no longer fit the uniform style.
- Byobu (awesome screen profile that Ubuntu started shipping by default in 9.10) has a conflicting default color scheme.
- The volume applet isn't starting by default. I can run it with `gnome-volume-control-applet`, though.
- iBus is pretty messy. I can't seem to get to my Anthy controls to reenable commit-on-close, and the tray icon disappears and reappears when I switch focuses (it also doesn't let me right click it).
- After logging out and logging back in, I now have the Universal Access icon appearing in my tray, and I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. Going to `kill` something when I'm done typing this to see if it helps.
- Gah, Windows fonts on my Firefox screwing with hinting! I'm typing this in a box that's using Tahoma instead of a properly-hinted Deja Vu!
Good things:
- My laptop hasn't lost power yet. This bodes well. e: And there it went. Guess that's not fixed.
- I like the new theme, but I'm not using it. I have my own theme that is universal to all of my systems, and I'm going to stick to it.
- KMS. I know I had it in Karmic, but I didn't have enough time to appreciate it, having just upgraded on Thursday, and then going to Lucid today.
