Installed Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 without anything unusual to report.
After installation there 122 updates waiting. - Applied the updates and restarted as prompted to do so.
So far so good.
Had Kubuntu 11.04 previously installed and I was able to install the 'Experimental 3D Nividia accelerated graphics driver', so I decided to check additional drivers to install Nvidia support.
I selected the Nvidia binaries so I could have 3D acceleration. Compilation of the driver failed. (I'll confess that I did not bother to look at the error log).
Restarted the laptop and things went weird.
I had installed Audacious music player, and it would not respond. Force quit and it would not restart after.
No internet access.
Muon would crash upon closing.
I did what any unadventurous noob would do, I reinstalled Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2.
This time, I stayed away from additional drivers.
Not a single weirdness to report.
Love Muon,
So far, 11.10 is even more polished than 11.04
Great work guys.
