For some reason it didn't find my wired network card. I like to be plugged in when I'm home :huh:

Use --force-wubi as a parameter when you run it and you'll get the option to install in its wubitized mode.

^^ Yea, I agree with the performance problems. Phoronix has some quick benchmarks on the performance regressions of Unity/Compiz http://www.phoronix....rformance&num=1

Though according to a couple of forum members over there, there will be several performance related bugs fixed in Unity 6.8 (shipping with Ubuntu 12.10). One of these is basically switching off the desktop composting when a full screen application is detected (good for games). Also, if bugs like this https://bugs.launchp...iz/+bug/1049214 get fixed, that will make a big difference in frame rate on Nvidia cards.

I've once again tried running the Live DVD, well, Live USB actually on my iMac. Like version 12.04 my wireless Apple Keyboard (bluetooth) won't lock on for any prolonged period of time. It connects, immediately disconnects again to moment I press a key. This a cycle which continues. I've tried it with my neigbours wireless Apple Keyboard (slightly older model than mine) and the same thing happens. The really odd part is my Magic Trackpad connects immediately and is ready for use. Same goes for my Magic Mouse I pulled out of mothballs. So obviously bluetooth is working just fine, just not in combination with my keyboard.

Does anyone have any thoughts what could be causing this? Maybe a setting I can try?

(A magic Terminal command perhaps? ;) )

For me it doesn't see my Ethernet card on my laptop, and I installed it using wubi, I also run it in VMare but it runs fine there. Is there anything I can do to get it to see my ethernet card?
