ubuntu-ca Digest, Vol 92, Issue 1

[gord campbell]

Previous versions included linux-headers-generic, I think. Nouveau is
what I get if I don't install a proprietary driver.

I thought my problems were over, then Ubuntu 12.10 locked up on me twice
in 12 hours. That's it for me: I will run Mint 13 (64-bit with Cinnamon)
and boot Ubuntu 12.10 if I really must, for my column in Full Circle
Magazine.

My (2010) laptop has ATI video, and Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't offer a
proprietary driver.
