No. Today I tried some of my devices I don't expect to work under Ubuntu: an unknown usb bluetooth dongle and a Logitech webcam. Since I don't use them for long time the last memory with them were in Vista which asks for drivers of these devices. Some could be found online, some not. I can't remember precisely but Ubuntu definitely work out of box. I just installed additional software to provide GUI to use the devices - apt-get install cheese for webcam image/video recording, bluetooth file transfer under Gnome to transfer files to bluetooth devices. I must say that Ubuntu/Linux may support more hardware than Vista.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 I found something not upgraded when I work with apt-get commands.

swfdec/gnash does not work well with BBC iplayer. So I decided to remove them. Also the default flash comes with the software repository doesn't work. I removed them all. sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree Then reinstalled the Flash plugin nonfree with official flash plugin (amd64) unzip and save the file into ~/.mozilla/plugins (create this folder if doesn't exist).

Ubuntu upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 was very successful and straightforward. Everything started normally except VMWare. When I run VMWare on console it returns: $ vmware Logging to /tmp/vmware-ubuntu/setup-15021.log modinfo: could not find module vmmon modinfo: could not find module vmnet modinfo: could not find module vmblock modinfo: could not find module vmci modinfo: could not find module vsock modinfo: could not find module vmmon modinfo: could not find module vmnet modinfo: could not find module vmblock modinfo: could not find module vmci modinfo: could not find module vsock Segmentation fault I thought it was the same problem as before when the kernel is updated. So I ran the setup program again with root account. The bundle program uninstalled and reinstalled VMWare for me. However the result was the same, it didn't solve the problem. After research on Internet I found the following solution that worked for me: sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/bin...
