======================= Testing Intrepid Alpha4 desktop ======================= When booting from the CD, first appears one progressing bar, then two, and then three. Once booted into this Alpha4 release of Intrepid everything seems normal. Apparently all the hardware was well detected and I am connected to the Internet without problems through the wireless card. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.26-5-generic #1 SMP Sun Aug 10 20:30:28 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ======================= Testing Intrepid Alpha5 desktop ======================= The system does not detect my USB external mouse. The touchpad mouse is detected and works fine though. The external mouse was detected after being disconnected and reinserted, this did not append with Alpha4 in which the mouse was detected directly.. The rest of the hardware seems fine. When booting the system, the multiple progressive bars did not appear any more. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-2-generic #1 SMP Thu Aug 28 17:20:02 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ================= Regarding Hardy Heron ================= When working under the 2.6.24-19-generic kernel sometimes suddenly my laptop crash. It is like a shutdown, the screen goes totally black and I cannot login into the system even remotely. Even that the power led is still indicating that the laptop is ON. This has happened to me three times, the first time was few days ago after the last security update. Now I am working again under the 2.6.24-18-generic kernel. I am not totally sure that if it is a kernel issue, but at least that crash has happened only under the 2.6.24-19-generic kernel. My Laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T60.
