11.1 REALLY frustrated

All I find is bugs, bugs and more bugs… To the point were I am about to
downgrade back to 10.3… Some bugs:

  1. Fails to shutdown requiring a flick of the power-off switch
  2. Sometimes loses all contacts in Kontact (contents of folder
    /home/chris/.kde4/share/apps/kabc disappear)
  3. It also loses other conf stuff
  4. Boot up/down sound in kde4 does not play with speaker volume
    setting. So the sound plays at full blast even if I’ve set a low volume
  5. Grub menu changes randomly from the Christmas version with tux
    rolling down, to the new 11.1 one
    … and there is more
    Items 1, 2 and 3 are extremely annoying, especially 2!!! I’m about to
    downgrade to 10.3… Please anybody help? Am I going crazy? It is a plain
    standard install from the DVD; the only difference I chose XFS for my
    /home partition.

manually umount it… it does shutdown properly.
Had something to do with the network connection shutting down before it
attempts to unmount it.Lechugamax;1925813 Wrote:

> So the sound plays at full blast even if I’ve set a low volumeIf you’re using KDE4 I think it has something to do with the kmixer
option “Restores volume on login”. Not sure if it restores it to full on
login… or attempts to set it to whatever you had it set to when you
logged out.
You might wanna try fiddling with it a bit.

Search the forums for “christmas” and you’ll find a way to disable it
if it annoys you.
