Ubuntu 10.10 is coming out soon. As a little bit active community user, I'd like to add my part in testing the software. I always do, just because I appreciate the work done buy hundreds of thousands of people and that's the least I can do.
So, Ubuntu 10.10 Beta is out, an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 took about two hours and whooo! It's working! I mean almost everything works. Would you like to find out how-to deal with e.g. Skype problems? Skype
The problem: Skype window disappears right after logging in.
You can find more about this bug here A fast solution is to remove reading permissions from two files. Open a terminal and type:

Tilda is a GTK+ terminal emulator. Its design was inspired from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed, and slide back up when the key is pressed again.

A temporal fix: Add export TERM=xterm to ~/.bashrc or just execute the command in tilda.

The problem: Mozilla Thunderbird crashes with segmentation fault. This probably happened because of version upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.1.x.
