[ubuntu-za] Trusty Tahr not so trusty?

[William Walter Kinghorn]

Hi Jan,

There is a app for nokia : http://sourceforge.net/projects/nokuntu/

Quote from the site : "This is my version of a Nokia PC Suite(r) but for Ubuntu"

has not been updates since 2011, so don't know if it will work on trusty

The precise ppa is here : https://launchpad.net/~upubuntu-com/+archive/mobile

Good, solid strategic comments, thanks Charl.

My apologies if my heading sent the wrong message; Trusty is by far the
best fresh-install experience that I have had. I asked for and received
many comments that helped me to decide to go the fresh install route,
and am not at all sorry. It co-incided with the arrival of my new SSD
and everything is working extremely well.

The only little niggle at this stage is my Nokia cellphone not
connecting to transfer images, not a big deal.

Take care,

Jan
