What didn't work out-of-the-box with your Linux rig?

[Jim!]

Everything worked 'out of the box' with 7.10 but in the transition to 8.04 my buily in Pro Duo card reader stopped working but it didnt matter because I had a USB adapter for it already which I usually used for it anyway because most other computers dont have that specific card reader built in anyway Ubuntu is AWESOME!

Nothing, lol, everything worked out-of-the-box. Im one of the lucky few

3d acceleration on my ati graphics card.

i don't really need it anyway.

wifi was automatically detected, in edgy i had to install network manager and use a static ip but since feisty it's worked great straight off.

printing doesn't work either but that's entirely my own fault for buying a crummy cheap printer from a very linux-unfriendly company, lexmark. in my defence i didn't know about linux at the time.

--just remembered another one, my volume keys on my laptop don't work ootb with xubuntu but they always did with ubuntu. but then that's not such a big deal and it's trivial to fix.

I've stuck with 7.04 (Feisty), the main annoyances with things not working "out of the box"

• Sound on my laptop (fixed by installing updates)
• USB keyboard & mouse on laptop would stop working after 5 minutes or so (fix described at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=854684)
• Playing some DVDs (fairly standard, covered by Ubuntu documentation)

PC spec:
Intel i910GL
Nvidia 7600GS
Audigy 2 ZS

Everything works OOB

Laptop:
Toshiba Satellite M200

Bluetooth and LCD brightness control weren't working directly (Phoenix BIOS). Fixed them with omnibook module from here.

My mute button. My back/forward keys. Other than that, nothing

Thinkpad R31 volume buttons & trackpoint would jump to the corner every now & then. I switched to a USB mouse to fix that, but I think an update may have fixed that because I haven't noticed the problem tonight while using it.

just had to download Nvidia driver and wifi adapter, all recognized by the hardware driver app.

Very very very happy with linux w/ 7.10 and 8.04

Flash didn't work properly out of the box, i had to install Flash 10 beta's to get it to work nicely.

Styled soft subs in MPlayer/SMPlayer weren't enabled out of the box, had to enable them.

Yeah, these were my only problems with Ubuntu, not very big, i know.
