Sorry for that, but I'm very disappointed with the new Karmic. I'm trying the RC with the updates until now, so my disappoints should be corrects. First of all, the "ubuntu software center" is a complete disaster. Now you can't view the "most downloaded" applications, and for see the description of programs you have to click twice, and to go back one click more.
Secondly, pulseaudio. I have never had problems with my audio in Linux... until now. The quality of the sound in Karmic is horrific. I have tried to uninstall it, but this should'nt be the solution.
Next complain is about graphic driver... yes, I know that this is not a problem from Canonical, but from ATI. I bought an Ati 5850 two weeks ago, and this cards is supposed to be a very powerful card. I'm sad to say that my old NVIDIA 6800gt can manage compiz with no problems, but my new card with catalyst 9.10.... has horrific tearing, horrific lagging minimizing and maximizing windows, slow responsiveness moving windows... and the open driver can't set the correct resolution or activate my second display...
I'm trying to say that maybe that in my opinion, Ubuntu should break the 6 months cycle and finish the product when is finally finished, not before, like Opensuse or Debian.
This is the first time that I'm very disappointed with an Ubuntu release. By now, I'll only try Ubuntu from a Virtualbox.... in Windows. Maybe in a couple of months, when Ubuntu will be more polished, I'll try again, and maybe my opinion will change.
Cheers
