Problem with the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon Beta

First thing I did when I walked into the door today was download the Gutsy beta. Popped it into my Dell Inspiron 1501 and was treated to a really nice login screen. Unfortunately the login screen is as far as I got. The five Gutsy alphas didn’t load on the Dell 1501 either. Looks like 1501 owners are going to have to wait a bit to enjoy Ubuntu 7.10

As soon as I figure/find out whats going on I’m gonna blog about it. There is a bug report for the alphas but its not very descriptive besides the fact that it doesn’t work.

I received an error about Nautilus (Gnome’s file manager) not loading. I’m going to test the beta CD this weekend and post anything I find on launchpad and here.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
