[18:53] <teward> general question: has anyone had any real negative issues going from Ubuntu 12.04 on 12.04-certified hardware to 14.04?
[18:53] <teward> (as a direct upgrade path)
[19:09] <Patrickdk> dunno what certified hardware is
[19:09] <Patrickdk> but I haven't had any real issues
[19:09] <Patrickdk> just 1 or 2 annoyances sometimes
[19:10] <teward> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/  <-- hardware certification
[22:07] <balloons> no problems for me, but I've not upgraded my server yet. Also don't have cert hw :-)
[22:10] <knome> hrhr, firefox 29
[22:10]  * knome took some time to revert back to sensible looking stuff
[22:14] <teward> balloons: yeah i have hardware that was specifically certified for 12.04
[22:14] <teward> balloons: which is kinda a driving reason for getting this system.
[22:14] <balloons> teward, ahh.. well, what is it?
[22:15] <teward> lemme dig it up
[22:16] <teward> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10678/components/
[22:16] <teward> plus the AMD graphics card in the Dell Inspiron 15R special edition
[22:16] <teward> which i separately verified works
[22:16] <teward> the difference there is an i7 too, but that works fine
[22:16]  * teward has had 0 issues
[22:16] <teward> this is also my primary system :P
[22:17] <teward> all hardware that i previously found works OOTB
[22:18] <balloons> so you haven't had issues then?
[22:20] <teward> i haven't upgraded to 14.04 yet
[22:20] <teward> i'm still on 12.04
[22:20] <teward> because the direct easy upgrade path isn't "easy" yet
[22:20] <teward> until .1
[22:20] <teward> then when the system tries to see all the backports i've done i expect explosions
[22:20] <teward> but i can remove those PPAs and packages as needed :0
[22:20] <teward> but i can remove those PPAs and packages as needed :)
[22:24] <balloons> ahh.. tentatively cautious
[22:25] <knome> well there is no such things as "cautios after"
[22:25] <knome> +u
[22:27] <balloons> hehe knome
[23:40] <teward> balloons: most of the backports aren't on a typical Desktop install
[23:40] <teward> mainly wireshark and nginx
