Ubuntu help

[davids]

I posted a while ago about how crap ubuntu was,but I thought I'd stick with it,and for a while it's seemed OK,until...........
Yesterday I did an update and within a few minutes several keys stopped working.And wouldn't one of them be one that figures in every password I use.So now I can log on as a guest but cutting and pasting your way around the net soon loses its charm.I can access my normal account using the on-screen keyboard but when it loads dash has gone into hiding and I only have desktop with my folders showing, and the only way it will close down is with a long push of the power button.This is the second time updates have been the problem.If I download Mint would I be able to access it from the guest account or will I need to find some way to repair ubuntu first BTW I'm running 12.04 LTS

Sounds like you aren't the only one experiencing the problem mate, there's another smaller update that fixes the problem as it happened to a friend of mine

Whilst I agree with what your friend says, according to the African philosophy, it is only through others that our Ubuntu humanity is reflected back on ourselves." This means that our humanism is not an idea that we can discover alone. We can only begin to appreciate who we are, why we live, and the spirit of human through our connection and interaction with others. Indifference shattered by the profound sadness that I felt.

Humanism ought to be alive. Humanism ought to be shared freely. Or as the Zulus would say, "Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu", which means that a person is a person through other persons. We affirm our humanity when we acknowledge that of others. The South African Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes Ubuntu as:

"It is the essence of being human. It speaks of the fact that my humanity is caught up and is inextricably bound up in yours. I am human because I belong. It speaks about wholeness, it speaks about compassion. A person with Ubuntu is welcoming, hospitable, warm and generous, willing to share. Such people are open and available to others, willing to be vulnerable, affirming of others, do not feel threatened that others are able and good, for they have a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that they belong in a greater whole. They know that they are diminished when others are humiliated, diminished when others are oppressed, diminished when others are treated as if they were less than who they are. The quality of Ubuntu gives people resilience, enabling them to survive and emerge still human despite all efforts to dehumanize them."

I'm just about to ditch Windows 8 for Ubuntu.

Never been particularly partial to Linux desktop distros before, but ANYTHING must surely be better than the awful Win8.
