Ubuntu Dapper Beta issues
From Julian Yap
This page runs through some issues I am encountering running the Ubuntu Dapper Beta release.
Please note that this is a Beta release and that I am also contributing to the testing of the release.

Hibernation
- No Hibernation 'out of the box'.
- MINOR FIX: Once installed package 'hibernate' it worked. It is a lot more erratic than Breezy. Sometimes it hangs when hibernating. If I left it going it may eventually hibernate but I get impatient. This is even after all programs are shut down.
- Sometimes it doesn't come up after hibernation and just does the normal boot sequence. Again, I don't know when it will work for me so it's very frustrating. Breezy always worked for me.
- This breaks Suspend? Suspend doesn't work for me. Or more so, it suspends but it doesn't resume. I get a black screen on resume and I can't get out of it.
- Upon resuming, screen locking does not work.
- May work once gnome-screensaver password enabled.
- NO it doesn't.
- May work once gnome-screensaver password enabled.

XOrg
- CPU usage is erratic and through the roof. This was evident in the original Dapper Beta kernel. Fixed as of April 23 or so for the i386 kernel.
- Attempt this fix, as root "echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate". Previous value was 8.
- WORKAROUND FIX: Seems to be an issue the 686 SMP kernel. Using the 386 kernel is fine. For some reason, there's only the i686-SMP kernel available. Under Breezy I ran the i686 kernel without a hitch.

Network Manager
- Came up with an error message when booted.
- FIX: Known issue. Run command "sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/".
- Did not run.
- FIX: NetworkManager doesn't manage interfaces with manual configuration defined in /etc/network/interfaces. To get n-m to manage all the interfaces properly, backup /etc/network/interfaces and remove all wired/wireless interfaces that you want to be managed by n-m (if you want to leave full control to NM just leave the lines concerning the lo and maybe ppp and tun interfaces).
- FIX: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/37128/

Switch-user
- Only apparent in screen-saver unlock dialog box.
- Does not work from 'Log out' icon.
