It also implies that the control centre is already installed - but I presume that is because I am using the server edition and it assumes you have the desktop. I installed the control centre via aptitude, and it pulled in loads and loads of additional junk with it. However when I try and use it, all the icons are missing and I get an error when it tries to do anything which requires admin permissions. I think it might have been trying to add something to my sources.list file.<br>

I'm actually being more and more annoyed with Ubuntu upgrades, it really feels like they don't care about upgrading systems and the upgrade path is in my opinion always poorly tested..</div><div>Like I just upgraded my mac mini from 11.10 to 12.04</div>
<div><br></div><div>My wireless adapter network interface was called wlan0, and all the Ubuntu documentation in regards to setting wireless talks about using wlan0. Upon the upgrade, it became eth0; and of course none of my static config got updated: so no more network for <a href="http://you.it">you.it</a> also has the nasty habit of redoing my whole lirc configuration, simply overriding my ~/.lirc folder with new files.</div>
<div>It took me close to a full day to get lirc properly working on that machine, why would it thinks it knows better and simply erase what was there before?? It did so on all my Ubuntu machines.</div><div><br></div><div>
Sorry for the rant, I upgraded another box yesterday, and once again the upgrade made my box unusable for a while while I sorted out all the things it broke. Suspend got broken in the process; haven't figured that one out yet. <span></span></div>
