Comment 57 for bug 342671

Folks, I 've been trying Kubuntu Karmic for some weeks now and I really like it. There are things still missing and some apps (e.g.: "RKWard" , "Kjots" , "LyX" and "jockey-kde" , "usb-creator-kde", and more) crash(ed) with no obvious reason to an end-user like me (while many of them were working fine under Gnome).

I am trying Kubuntu Lucid Lynx Beta2 (on a Macbook Pro 5,1) right now and it's really difficult. No auto-mount, no cpu freq-scaling, X does not start up automatically ( I have to "startx"). You might be right to point that this piece of hardware isn't what would work out-of-the box with a ?-ubuntu distro. Yet, once the machine boots and a desktop manager works, the user expects that all the goodies of KDE will work as well.

I only had some time to test and wanted to make bug reports... but the auto-bug report tool does not really work. Unfortunately I don't have more free time.

I would really like to see Kubuntu running smooth. And I would wait a bit more than the 29th of April if it is required to have a stable "LTS" release. Keep up the good work!
