I am thinking of upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, just a click away in the software centre (no particular reason other than to benefit from recent fixes and continued support).

There are probably no easy answers (though I'd like some brief ones), but I wonder how common soft/hardware in/compatibility related problems are, resulting from such an upgrade?

Also, I am assuming all custom configurations will remain unchanged after such an upgrade (default email and custom settings, www browser bookmarks, various .rc files, repository settings for auto upgrades of unsupported software, and such), please correct me if should not assume so.

When going to the web site all see is Index of / and the page like you would see when doing a directory list, but it is blank (no files listed - just the apache version, etc.). I have looked in the logs and have checked the apache conf files and it looks the php module is set to load, but the index.php is not loading.

Any suggestions?

I use Unity and have a bluetooth button in my status bar. When I switch off bluetooth with this
button, my hardware LED still tells bluetooth is on!

Do you have any idea how I can get this bluetooth software switch working?
