Considering a Switch to Fedora......
Yes, I'm currently an Ubuntu 10.04 user; overall, I am happy, but.....
I need a can of Raid for my PC due to the Ubuntu bugs. :) I have everything configured to my own taste, and all works, mostly. I like the KDE spin of Fedora 13. Will I encounter issues with Flash or Java on a 64-bit box? This is with 3 gigs of RAM. Flash is most important due to some apps I run on a regular basis; all requiring Flash. |
I'm running Fedora 13 64-bit with both 64-bit Flash and Sun Java installed. I switched from the shipped java to Sun Java 6 update 20 due to a Symantec program, but otherwise everything works quite well in my opinion.

I run both and prefer Ubuntu. I have no problems with 64-bit flash on either. I don't know what Ubuntu bugs you're referring to. I have encountered none but, I run Gnome so they may be KDE bugs. I am currently at 4 gigs of RAM but have run both distros at 1 gig without a problem.

I upgraded to 10.04 using the software manager, I boot to
command line about every 3rd boot, and Firefox freezes a lot. Also 10.04 seems to crawl when loading the Desktop. I never had an issue when I ran the last 2 versions of Ubuntu, but they were installed directly off discs. Doing a Google search yesterday, I came across a few threads that indicated Flash may be a problem, but I'm not sure if this is still an issue. I thought I'd come here for any other thoughts. Again, I'm happy with the OS; maybe, I'll reinstall off disc. I run Kubuntu 10.04 on my laptop with no issues at all, it is 32-bit. Thanks for responding, :D |
When I first upgraded Ubuntu to 10.04, I had the same command line boot problem as salmanal. I ended up completely reinstalling Ubuntu and the problem went away. I've always downloaded flash and manually installed it myself and have experienced no problems on any of my distros.

Exactly what I am about to do Lou.
I'm glad this worked for you; hopefully, my boot issue will disappear as well. |
Solved: The reinstall seemed to Work
I liked Fedora, but.... All is functioning, including Flash, as before. I'm cool :D

@LouRobytes; I quite like the saying by Sam Slick :-) I thought to let you know!

salmanal, goodstuff. Don't forget to flag as Solved.
hulk321, thanks. |
