Ooooh I never heard about THAT bug! I just…well, actually…9.04 was the release where my wireless driver stopped causing kernel panics…graphics driver started locking instead. Enabling “greedy” in xorg.conf for the AccelMethod fixed that. No hacks needed for 9.10 though, making me a happy camper.

The trade off for making the windows wobble is a system freeze on resume if your wireless adaptor is enabled. This is what compositing window management is all about.

Even Mr. Shuttleworth, the self appointed benevolent dictator for life of Canonical, acknowledges issues with the 9.04 release. In my opinion, for bug one to be resolved, Ubuntu should concentrate on hardware support issues more and beautification less.

Suspend and resume do tend to work quite well in my experience. Of the 3 Ubuntu laptops I’ve had, my boyfriend’s 3 Ubuntu laptops and 1 Ubuntu netbook, and my roommates over the last year’s 4 Ubuntu laptops…all have worked fine for suspend and hibernate. OK yes, my computer will only stay suspended for 24 hours before running out of battery, but this is actually a significant improvement over the 12 it used to get, and it certainly still falls in the “works” category.

Perhaps you could narrow down your ACPI issues to a specific naughty piece of hardware? Suspend and resume are highly hardware dependent, so simply saying “it’s broken” but not finding out which driver is the culprit is rather useless.

100 Paper Cuts is a great project, but when are they going to do something about the 100 Axe Wounds on Brainstorm? (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/most_popular_ever/)

Will Ubuntu ever be able to suspend and hibernate properly? Or will Canonical spend all their effort on things that already worked fine, like notifications and boot time?
