[ubuntu-in] Interested in hearing about ser experiences about Karmic Koala (9.10)

[Gireesh Nagabhushana]

I found that the hang was not only for Firefox but it was also for other
windows (Opening home directory too).

Here is what I did to get it work in my laptop:
* While logging-in for the first time, choose GNOME's safe mode.
* Logout
* Login again but __not__ in GNOME's safe mode (normal mode). After
this, I can open any window.

        upgrading
        from 9.04 to 9.10 and fresh installation. 
        
        With both of them, system hanged for just opening Firefox.
You can try upgrading the firefox after a fresh installation, as they
rolled out 3.5.4 after base system 3.5.3

        In one of the
        attempts, instead of opening Firefox, I tried by removing it
        just after
        installing OS, again system hanged.
         
You can try going to 
Single user mode to un-install (command: sudo init1)
or 
Non GUI mode with short cut CRTL + ALT + F1

Or Avoid Firefox from system and Download tar.gz firefox from mozilla
website and use it.

Hopefully u will have problem solved.


        I found the same issue on booting from Live CD.
        
        MD5 checksum was also verified.
        
        9.04 is running without issues in this laptop. I am using 9.04
        since
        September.
