http://ubuntuforums.org – I am going to assume Xubuntu is the best choice in my situation. Kubuntu 12.04 worked fine on an older computer, but it was evident that 12.10 was too much for it. So, I decided to put Xubuntu on instead, and it loads faster, but it's Xubuntu 12.04. Now, I am trying to upgrade to 12.10, and I don't see the option to do this. In Kubuntu I found a way to try to install, but I can't find how to do this. So here are some questions about getting Xubuntu working. 1. Where are the exact directions for upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 on Xubuntu? 2. When it loads, I get a yellow note window in the (Hardware)

Stories similar to [xubuntu] Few questions about Xubuntu

Have been running Ubuntu on my desktop since 9.something... now on 11.04, but have not done any updates for a LONG time... I saw Unity and decided I wanted no part of that! I have a laptop that I installed Xubuntu 12.04 on, and like the Xubuntu MUCH better than Ubuntu... So, decided that I would put Xubuntu on the desktop.

[xubuntu] xUbuntu 13.04 2 weeks 13 hours ago

I just did the upgrade to xUbuntu 13.04 and now, at least once or twice a day, when I go to open an application - today it was Firefox - xUbuntu logs me out of everything, and all my open apps are nuked.

This is a far cry from the super-stable xUbuntu 12 .... help!!!! This is my work computer!

Well i installed Xubuntu on my system having a dual boot with Xubuntu and windows xp but when i select to boot on Xubuntu it freezes and gets a message saying that the file hal.dll in system32 cant be found. Before showing me this message i tryed to uninstall the Xubuntu inside from windows xp because several problems showed up after installing Xubuntu.

I'm newbie with ubuntu, I tried to install ubuntu, at the beginning xubuntu work for the first upgrade to xubuntu 12.04, but after the reboot, no winxp media center ether Xubuntu won't start and I have a screen Ctrl+Alt+Del nothing else. I read a little about, maybe the sata enabled on the bios.

Xubuntu 12.04 35 weeks 3 days ago

Just wanted to give a great big thanks to the Xubuntu devs for their amazing work on the 12.04 release.

I've never really dabbled with Xubuntu before, but I decided to give it a try with 12.04 and I was absolutely blown away by it's performance, looks and everything else about it.

You've made a permanent convert out of me Xubuntu. :)
