Bugs
For some reason, this install has had a lot of bugs. Here’s a list, and I hope to publish articles as I figure out the solution to each of them:
- Screen Freezes (seems to have started when I installed the touchpad driver) — Alt+Ctrl+F4, then Alt+F7 seems to fix the problem
- Unplugging VGA connector does not switch settings back to single monitor
- Closing lid after having multiple monitors and unplugging external monitor causes nasty screen effects (or suspending and waking back up)
- Numerous crash dialogs on boot after login — fixed: see this post.
- Skype sometimes leaves long static sound running
- SQL Developer won’t start
- Rhythmbox buggy — hangs a lot
