Looking for a bit of adventure (kubuntu works so well I miss not having to tinker with things!) I downloaded the 8.10 beta this morning on my laptop, an Acer Aspire 3610. When I restarted after the upgrade, I found myself with no network. Neither wireless (BCM4318) nor ethernet (RTL-8139) work. I don't know if it is related, but every 15 seconds or so, there is something that flashes across my screen too fast to see what it is, looks like a program window of some sort.
Browsing around I get the impression that the networking issue may be something I just need to wait a bit for rather than bang my head against it to get it working with the existing beta. I think I will wait until the next beta version, or RC1 comes out.
Does that sound like the best way to go?
Since I have no network, I guess that means I will need to burn a cd. Should I do a fresh install or is there a way to use the next beta/RC to upgrade what I already have?
Looking forward to the new version!
Cheers,
