When I first installed Maui 1 (after a few tweaks!), everything worked really well. I was very happy.
But now, little things are going wrong.
Like the trouble with downloading certain things in Firefox (started a week or so ago). More often now (every other day or so), shutting the lid won't put the computer to sleep, and I either have to shut it down or hunt through the processess to see if I can happen to stop the right one. Today, my touchpad worked intermittently - all of the time, a physical click works, but the tap stopped working sometimes. Also today, I suddenly can't save anything to the mac section of my hard-drive, although I could last time I wanted to. They are all small things that sometimes happen and sometimes don't; but they're adding up and becoming rather annoying as a whole. And all of them have begun in the last few weeks.
My question is - is this likely to be a result of some upgrades, and perhaps I should reinstall Maui 2 and just stay there? Un-update whatever the last several that showed up on Update Manager were? (I have no idea how to do this.) Is there some kind of regular maintenance I should have been doing that I didn't know about? (I haven't used windows for so long that I kind of forgot about things like that. I read that linux doesn't need to be defragged, but is there something else I should be doing?) Is it just a function of time, and linux is going to slowly break no matter what? Or shall I hope that another upgrade will solve whatever problems the previous updates appear to have introduced?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
