Comment 12 for bug 222055

 The trouble is, 8.04 apparently doesn't like my machine. I have tried the upgrade from plain 7.10 to 8.04, upgrade from 7.10 Studio to 8.04, and a clean install of 8.04. After a super experience with 7.10, I'm a bit disappointed that I can't get 8.04 running satisfactorily on my machine. I really like Studio 7.10, so I'll stick with it. I guess I'll wait for 8.10 and try again.

I do wish upgrades of software like Firefox 3.0 and OpenOffice 2.4 were as routine as using Update Manager, but then I've learned a lot by searching for and installing the upgrades manually.
