Upgrading to Intrepid Ibex

First things first, at 22.37 the 22nd of october I installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse.

8.48: I just upgraded 8.04 to 8.10. Ubuntu does not remind you to update as default (8.04 has long term support), so I had to change the "Releases upgrade" in Administration -> Software Sources -> Updates from "Long support releases only" to "Normal support." I guess it went relatively smoothly, but I'll have to check. Gah.

8.54: One thing I noticed right away: My smart key for opening my default browser (firefox... ah, that reminds me, I'll have to get back to that) is not working. The smart key for email program is, however.

8.56: It's working now. Didn't really to anything but go through the "Preferred applications." Anyways.

8.57: Getting back to "the thing I remembered" at 8.54, I installed the "STOP! Hammertime!"-plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/974). It rather useless, but cracks me up every time I stop a page from loading. So there.

9.00: I noticed that kolourpaint and kpdf were removed when I upgraded. So I'm installing "kolourpaint4" now.

9.02: Weird. The browser smart key opens Nautilus now. I'll reboot and return to that later.

9.03: Installing kpdf. I'm getting "No candidate version found for kpdf." Google doesn't return anything. I have the multiverse and universe repositories enabled.

9.09: Be the way, I just bought a Asus Eee pc 901 yesterday. It comes with ubuntu-eee (and not the standard Xandros system). It'll probably arrive sometime next week. Should be fun. I have to find a name for the little new one.

11.25: Fixed the smart ket/hot key problem via Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. It is set to xF86HomePage now.
