Two weeks I installed the brand new Kubuntu Hardy Heron. I found some Bugs and their fixes I want to share:

• Using an ATI graphics card the X server crashes after logout of KDE, a black screen is all that remains. All you can do now is strg+alt+del: I found the bugfix in launchpad, nice way!
• Well, the next bug is not new to hardy heron, but at least very annoying. Having some samba filesystem mounted the reboot/ shutdown process lasts longer as expected. When you disable the splash screen you can read the message CIFS VFS: no response for cmd 50.... I found the solution here: Unmount Samba filesystems before shutdown or reboot.
• Firebug eats the processor: Just install the package firebug instead of the addon: sudo aptitude install firebug
• If you want to use Firefox 3 as your browser, install gtk2-engines-qtcurve, go to System Settings/ Appearance/ GTK Styles and fonts and set Use another style: QtCurve, to eliminate the checkbox and radiobox rendering issue.
• Sending files from your Nokia phone to the pc doesn’t work: Just downgrade the bluez-utils package to fix this.
