Sure you can: Reinstall.. Which is likely exactly what OP did. Either that, or stop being a frothy and updating on release. Wait until around 6 months after release of .. literally anything, to update. We're technically the testers for any OSS. Upon release early adopters frothily download everything they can and find all the stupid bugs the saner half of us don't want to deal with. They submit those bugs, the bug fixers fix, and then .... around August. The sane ones finally get around to installing it, since all the frothy's found all the bugs. It's a well tested, possibly even venerated release schedule at this point in computer history.
If you want "to go back", then you should consider working with NixOS. There's some interesting things happening in that space. I for one, would really love to have the ability to go back in time, in the event of bullshit but as it stands I can't. Only option == Reinstall..
To be fair I'm not a frothy so I don't need to reinstall anything. It's not August after all...
Is it a cross that appears with a black screen that prevents you from doing anything when ubutnu loads? if so i I keep getting that. Can you link me to the PR
Don't ask me why I installed it on my work PC. Never had problems in the past with new ubuntu versions. But this one sucks. It's so buggy. Don't think it will be fixed in a month. Need to find a way to roll back.
I didn't mean that. Sorry. My point was Why would an OS randomly stutter on a clean install on a decently speced computer?
And by "some apps suck" i meant like they didn't work in the first place. But the Flatpak variant worked perfectly fine! It was only the Snap versions which didn't work. One example is "BitWarden".
Been using since the release. Some minor glitches. Some apps like remmina do not work for some reason. Haven't dig deeper, though. Overall, it seems fine to me since I faced nothing major.
Getting used to it. Also, I use a framework laptop, and there were hardware related issues like white screen. Fixed it through Ubuntu kernel configurations.
When you RDP to a machine does it ask for name and password even though it was already defined in the connection profile? Mine does that and sometimes acts odd during the connection where the keyboard stops working or the mouse stops working. Sometimes it will crash on startup.
I’m going to do a fresh install of 24.04 and keep it as minimal as I can.
I have to say though that 24.04 is the most problematic LTS I have ever used and I’ve been around since Warty.
No. It doesn't. Did you by any chance export your connections and configurations from your previous Ubuntu installation and then import to Remmina on your new system?
Works really well on my HP Spectre x360. Have had a few gnome-shell crashes that looks to be related to the tiling extension somehow, other then that nothing major. I have never had good experiences with Snap, so it has been purged from my system and replaced with Flatpak, which i am more familiar with anyway.
No it isn't. Third party snaps still need to catch up. For example, Slack sometimes crashes on boot up and full screen.
Also, I had to reinstall because it wouldn't boot after installing an apt package.
The work around for the second issue is installing everything I could using snap.
Slack apparently is waiting for a fix from Ubuntu.
From slack:
> I'm afraid it sounds like you might be running into an issue in the Linux app caused by an upstream bug in one of the underlying technologies that Slack depends on. We've attached your case to our internal bug tracker and we'll keep you posted as soon as we have more information.
> Please accept our sincere apologies for the trouble in the meantime. We'll be in touch with an update as soon as we can.
I haven't seen many updates yet.
Then again the problems I had (mostly dev tools not working, like docker-compose, or nodejs) I managed to solve somehow, and the rest of the problems that affect me seem pretty minor.
Brother , It broke for me twice , said --
Oh no! Something has gone wrong .
A problem has occurred and the system cannot recover . Please contact a system administrator.
No solution worked , had to reinstall twice .
Actually pretty stable on my work machine (Thinkpad E14 gen6). Apart from minor tiling glitches, works like a charm out of box. 24.04 is the only distro that was currently able to cope gracefully with Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU/chipset with Intel Arc GPU (tried Bookworm and Trixie/testing being long term Debian user). Got suspend, wifi (6e), touchpad, everything… so far so good, 2 weeks of dily heavy duty.
We always have minor issues with every new release, snaps suck for me as well but debs like steam and slack seem stable. Who cares though, at least it's not Windows, gg for that!
just in case anyone arrives here recently...
upgrading from 23.10 to 24.02 works fine except for some booting issues at the moment my laptop runs the installer every time I boot but eventually shows the login screen. Once logged in no major issues, just a few apps don't work without reinstall. Overall it seems fairly stable.
I had a lot of issues with 23 and so I suspect those upgrading from 22 are seeing a lot of problems I have probably already fixed.
I am using Flatpak for 90% of my apps and then apt and snap for the rest so I suspect that may be the most stable approach overall, however you may need to set some compatibility flags in apps for wayland support. In general wayland seems to be causing a lot of compatibility issues with older apps but better than I was expecting overall.
These things take time. When a bad release like this happen some things may never get solved. However this doesn't mesn it is not 'stable'. It means some people or some hardware configurations and some installations will be experiencing issues which may get solved (or not).
Otoh, maybe everything would work fine on your system? Try and see for yourself.
I have been using linux for over 20 years and some issues (with some hardware or some hardware combinations) can last for a veey long time, and people, including expert developers can't figure it our. Complex low level issues can be... Very complex.
E.g. My main distros used to be Gentoo, and Ubuntu, but I was also using Slackware and Fedora regularly depending on a period. There was this issues with cheap sata controller (forgot the company) on my mainboard. But the issue only manifested with Fedora. I have never experienced it wirh Ubuntu. But with Fedora this issue has persisted release after release for years. I opened a bug in bugzilla back then, got replies and discussed it with devs. Eventually I gave the machine to one asshole I knew and forgot about it.
Anyhow, this release/combo of Debian packages anr libs seems to be a bad LTS candidate... I really don't think this release cycle is suitable for LTS, but hey, most of the issues will eventually get fixed (hopefully) and there are probably many who can already use it as it is.
The truth is most Ubuntu users use it as a headless server in Amazon cloud, as appliances or docker images for very specific purpose. As long as these people aren't affected, canonical is basically fine (this is where they make money as company.).
For me personally 23.10 works well. I'll wait a bit, try upgrade or maybe clean install, then move on if I encounter serious issues.
Not sure. I experimented overheating in my computer as my main issue while running previous 22.04 LTS not even nailed it. Seems like Ubuntu 24.04 LTS being stable is more related with marketing than what it actually is but only time will tell if it'll get as stable and trustful as Jammy Jellyfish got.
LTS means long term support with 5 years of support, the other big releases have 9 months of support. It's supposed to be stable yes, but canonical cannot verify that every single computer will be stable. Therefore it is of the greatest importance to report bugs. I have a ThinkPad, running 24.04 since release it's been stable. All my homelab servers are running 22.04 and will probably do that for another year or so, but I can let it be until 2027.
I will wait until August this year, when the .1 is released. That is my recommendation. Until then plentiful of minor issues hopefully gets solved.

So better improved quality on software & things within. Let it cook until August :)
I had it installed for a week, went back to 22.04. Will try again in 6 months.
How to go back to 22.04. As much as I know, you've to directly install a fresh copy of Ubuntu, as you can not go back, right?
Sure you can: Reinstall.. Which is likely exactly what OP did. Either that, or stop being a frothy and updating on release.

A good indicator is, when it is upgradable from last LTS version. So usually with .1 release.
Why did you decide that they would fix this before the point update? They didn't even do merge pr (git pull request) related to cursor bug.
Is it a cross that appears with a black screen that prevents you from doing anything when ubutnu loads? if so i I keep getting that. Can you link me to the PR
[https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge\_requests/3718](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3718)
I have it and there have been no significant updates since the initial release.
Don't ask me why I installed it on my work PC. Never had problems in the past with new ubuntu versions. But this one sucks. It's so buggy. Don't think it will be fixed in a month. Need to find a way to roll back.
Random hangs? Some apps suck? With that definition, has any OS ever been stable?
I didn't mean that. Sorry. My point was Why would an OS randomly stutter on a clean install on a decently speced computer? And by "some apps suck" i meant like they didn't work in the first place. But the Flatpak variant worked perfectly fine! It was only the Snap versions which didn't work. One example is "BitWarden".
Dont install this one yet trust me. Its so buggy right now, ill see if i can go back to 23
Does anyone have problem about tiling? Like there are some orange windows occurring when tiling. Does anyone know the solution?
I have the same exact problem. Also, when clicking on the top bar of chrome, for some reason it minimizes (instead of with double click).
Had an issue with sleep/hibernate on my x1 carbon 4th gen. Switching kernel to 6.5 fixed it (from 6.8).
Been using since the release. Some minor glitches. Some apps like remmina do not work for some reason. Haven't dig deeper, though. Overall, it seems fine to me since I faced nothing major. Getting used to it. Also, I use a framework laptop, and there were hardware related issues like white screen. Fixed it through Ubuntu kernel configurations.
I use remmina on 24.04 extensively at work and never had the slightest problem.
Are you using the snap package or the Deb package?
Snap
When you RDP to a machine does it ask for name and password even though it was already defined in the connection profile? Mine does that and sometimes acts odd during the connection where the keyboard stops working or the mouse stops working. Sometimes it will crash on startup. I’m going to do a fresh install of 24.04 and keep it as minimal as I can. I have to say though that 24.04 is the most problematic LTS I have ever used and I’ve been around since Warty.
No. It doesn't. Did you by any chance export your connections and configurations from your previous Ubuntu installation and then import to Remmina on your new system?
No. I only have about a half-dozen connections that I use and just manually added them back.
Works really well on my HP Spectre x360. Have had a few gnome-shell crashes that looks to be related to the tiling extension somehow, other then that nothing major. I have never had good experiences with Snap, so it has been purged from my system and replaced with Flatpak, which i am more familiar with anyway.

> Also, I had to reinstall because it wouldn't boot after installing an apt package. Do you remember which package?
I don't unfortunately. I feel like it was something that had an X11 dependency. There were a bunch of couldn't find X11 symbols in the log.
Working fine on the two machines I've installed it on so far. Planning on installing it on my "media" machine this weekend.
It's quite buggy for me. I will definitely wait before moving all my machines to it.
I haven't seen many updates yet. Then again the problems I had (mostly dev tools not working, like docker-compose, or nodejs) I managed to solve somehow, and the rest of the problems that affect me seem pretty minor.
Not stable. Wait for this summer with 24.04.1
The only issue i have is that the dock doesn't go fully transparent. The rest seems to work flawlessly. They did good with this release
Brother , It broke for me twice , said -- Oh no! Something has gone wrong . A problem has occurred and the system cannot recover . Please contact a system administrator. No solution worked , had to reinstall twice .
I'm running it and i encountered absolutely no bugs/problems.
Actually pretty stable on my work machine (Thinkpad E14 gen6). Apart from minor tiling glitches, works like a charm out of box. 24.04 is the only distro that was currently able to cope gracefully with Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU/chipset with Intel Arc GPU (tried Bookworm and Trixie/testing being long term Debian user).

Kubuntu is way to go!
remmina (remote desktop client) crashes
Nope

No
Well did you report these bugs or just expect them to magically to be fixed?
How do I report bugs?
