Re: [libreoffice-users] do not upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 with standard resolution widescreen monitor

Hi,

I've upgraded 5 computers so far from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, all with 
wide screen monitors, and have not had any issues at all with screen 
display. Four systems were upgraded using the traditional procedure. One 
was upgraded using the live CD. I tried doing a second one with the live 
CD, and I could not get 11.04 to open to run it as a live CD. I usually 
check to see if there are any issues. It would get to the point where I 
should have the desktop displaying, but it never displayed. I didn't 
take time to try to figure out why the screen didn't display. I figured 
it might have been some issue with the CD itself, but I don't know. So I 
ran the upgrade the traditional way on that system with no problems at all.

I starting using Ubuntu with 8.10, and have upgraded to each version so 
far. I upgrade because of the continuous improvements which seem to 
come, and the improvement in the Linux kernel and drivers with each 
version. 10.04 was the only one I really had some issues with. So far 
11.04 seems to work really well. It will take a little time to get used 
to Unity. I will like the side bar. I will miss the lack of applets on 
the top panel, but I see there are some other types which can be 
installed which I will try as time permits. I do have one issue with 
Libre Office Base not opening with the icon placed in the side panel. I 
will send that out as a separate issue.
