I had to disable IPV6 on both my system and Firefox. Otherwise everything was painfully slow when a network cabled was plugged in. <br /> I also have to use the “No Graphical Effects” Desktop Option with my old <span class="caps">ATI</span> Radeon R7000 graphics card so I’m kinda bummed out about it. I need a new graphics card I think, But I don’t want to spend money when I already have a graphics card that works fine in XP. Oh well.</p> I had some bizarre problems after installing 8.04 on my AMD HP desktop. I had to disable IPV6 on both my system and Firefox.

For me it took installing “Compiz Fusion icon” and selecting Emerald as the theme manager. Looking forward to your next post.</p> I could get Emerald to run using a terminal command (emerald —replace &), but it wouldn’t stick.

The new Ubuntu is pretty good. I had a few little niggles with the upgrade, but sorted those out and I’m definitely liking it so far.</p> I agree with you Ben. The new Ubuntu is pretty good.
