Installing Hardy heron on my laptop was quite a breeze. the only thing i had to configure was the finger print reader. but even that went quite well after following an easy guide.
However Ibex was not that easy. Ibex was released some 6 days after i got my dell so it was good timing. but my first experience was very unpleasant. and things that just use to work on hardy without an extra config didn’t work on Ibex.Things like my Finger print reader stopped working even after i followed the guide that worked so well on hardy. Webcam too stopped working. that worked on hardy without me lifting a finger. my inbuilt mic too was affected. in the end i had to downgrade back to hardy and waited for the dust to settle and for the real geeks to figure out all the issues . well the good news is that they have. am back to Ibex and must of the issues have been resolved. well not yet out of the box though but here are what i did to fix the issues.
