Every time I have experienced an update and upgrade I have run into big trouble. The screen is freezing and greying out, everything slows down or stops working after a while, Skype won't connect, or if it does, the sound is a mess. This is what happened lastly when I upgraded to 12.10. Lost Unity, Cairo-dock did not start, Skype not working, pressing shut down made the computer freeze completely. Every problem in the book was there. Now I finally found out that the solution that made Skype working...

Have Ubuntu 10.10. Am a newbie.

I just uninstalled my Open Office 3.2, to install Open Office 3.3 instead. That's what I did, sudo add-apt-repository ppapenoffice-pkgs/ppa. after that sudo apt-get update, after that sudo apt-get install openoffice.org. Everthing seemed OK. Even did sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-gnome. Restarted computer. Happily opened Open Office in order to start writing. What do I see? The old OOo is still there, nothing has happened...
Could anybody...
