Waiting for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS !!

V

this is the V day for the every Linux Users (or 'Ubuntu users') in the world..To day is Ubuntu's new Release to hit the servers all over the world.. and ISP all over the world are going to curse it..
there is much tension in the Ubuntu camp now then any other release, because a reported memory leak 'bug' in its beta-2.. some early birdie has downloaded the iso image which was syncing with mirror and reported that there is a Security breach. and 'bug' report filed... but others are poo poo it
there is a talk of part release just release ,only Desktop version of ubuntu and delay the others when the mirrors are stable enough or the bugs quickly fixed..*bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ty/+bug/570765

anybody hit the mirror!!
Just give a warning report Guys!!

I'm downloading. Only 30 minutes more.

V

I was waiting at Ubuntu forum, watching insanely 100 pages waiting for the news.. then finally aat 11.00 hrs went to bed when I awake it hit me like a thunderbolt.. but where is the kubuntu and xubuntu 's clans? I chose amd64 iso and fire the transmission.. by that time you may already downloded it.. so may I expect some first hand report?

i downloaded it. will install it later but tested it. Its awesome !!

F

Alright I'm going to go ahead and be a scapegoat and try it out.

Well, i always prefer clean installs after backing up data as in previous releases i have messed up everything while trying to upgrade .My pc is quadruple boot and i dont want to take a chance with it

. Its very difficult to manage Ubuntu grub with openSUSE grunb and windows bootloader

I play safe just because of my separate /boot partition for opensuse and separate /root and swap for both !

Seems very zippy and starts very fast. GIMP and XSane have been removed though. For scanning we now have Simple Scan.

well the devs thought Gimp is too geeky for normal users

and moreover it takes more psace in a limited live CD acc to them !

V

sudo apt-get install gimp

There isn't anything as "too geeky". They removed it because F-spot is good enough for basic editing like red-eye which a normal user needs.

^ ^ Thats what is said !

Finally Ubuntu 10.04 is out today....

:grin:

the most awaited Ubuntu distribution is out today......
it's launch was postpone due to a bug in GRUB. It was not showing other OS entries in it, when dual booted.....
so the release was postpone for a couple of days as the professional team of Ubuntu thought that it might make wrong impression on user who r going to try Ubuntu for the first time or who r novice users.... :wink:

(as windows entry on GRUB won't be shown....)

the below given link is for downloading Ubuntu 10.04(LTS) from Indian server....

*ubunturelease.hnsdc.com/10.04/

Hope DVD will be released soon....

Re: Finally Ubuntu 10.04 is out today....

Don't create double threads for the same topic. Thread reported.

Actually when I used the beta, I missed GIMP (even though I rarely use it, but when it's needed it is really needed) but still it is easy to install.

I'm also waiting for the DVD now. It reduces hassles for me.

Me too . i am also looking forward to Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and the changes that have been made to it .

Just downloaded and installed lucid lynx. Working like charm. The FF is blazing fast.

installed

i found minimize, maximize, close buttons messed up in default ambiance theme, in clearlooks its fine.

lol it's NOT messed up, it's designed that way

Gwibber is buggy. Nothing shows in the timeline :-(

W

ico will always support it but certainly it is very good after reading its rewiews

then it is very revolutionary design :-D

very confusing. i have installed human dark theme as it is comfortable.

overall 10.04 is working fine......Pitivi video editor is new, yet to give a try

Installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 RC... then upgraded to the final release.. was about 120 MB download.. missing Delta RPMs when I update

.. and one thing I saw that it eats more RAM than Fedora 12 (64-bit).. is it due to the proprietary ATI drivers?? I wasn't using those on Fedora 12.. still.. it is nice..

XBMC isn't working on it either.. the XBMC installation procedure doesn't works.. nor does the compilation.. I hope guys at XBMC update their product & post the new instructions.. Gwibber is really buggy, no time line..

PS :- Downloading Fedora 13 beta

yea, I added the XBMC PPA but wasn't able to install. They have to fix it.

Help needed

I don't blame you.. now a days, even geeky peoples are confusing with Linux with Ubuntu..

Version upgrades are necessary. it ensures proper bug fixes and many new things are introduced every time increasing the ease of use. Like this time, Ubuntu did a major upgrade in theme from its default brown to Light and Dark themes which is very good. Moreover the network manager has been updated and the Ubuntu software store has been enhanced. Gimp has been removed and many more. It also creates curiosity among users as what is new to come.

Yes ArchLinux does have its benefits. However I don't have the time to configure it from scratch.

I switched from Fedora 12 to Ubuntu 10.04 because of the ATI vs Fedora 12's X.Org battle..

But, I find Ubuntu more frustrating.. It eats RAM around 1 GB during startup & around 2 GB (although I have 4 GB & running 64-bit but still 2 GB!!) when I'm running it with web-browser & chat.. moreover, Gwibber is still not showing the timeline & development libraries are hell.. there are no DeltaDebs like DeltaRPMs.. all in all, it was a dissappointmen, I'll be switching back to Fedora 13 once it gets released

Same here. i expected a lot but Lucid has many bugs which though minor are really irritating. I too am awaiting Fedora 13.

Well, a lot of bugs have been fixed in the updates. And now we are up to ubuntu 10.10 alpha 1

. Fedora 13 was good as always

papul if you factor in the amount of upgrades provided by Arch Linux, you might notice that if you do pacman -Syu every week, you might have downloaded 4 GB per month!!! I used KDE 4 and i have experienced it. Its kinda make it even when someone does dist-upgrade from previous versions.

/off topic- please tell me of a distro which is full fledged, has all development tools, audio-video codecs, and stable- almost everything should work out of box.........a friend of mine needs it- I would also like to use it.

Try Ultimate Edition 2.6 or openSUSE 11.2 dvd may also work for you.

A

am already using opensuse 11.2, it does not play mp3 or any videos.

it does ..install opensuse from DVD not from live CD. Instead i would suggest you to use Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.6, link is given in post above

. Its a full fledged Live DVD distro and runs everything out-of-the box.

SuSE Studio to create a custom build?

Says who?
Codecs may very well be open source. However problems may arise due to patents and such stuff.

Moreover audio codecs like FLAC, Vorbis and video like Theora, VP8 are not only OSS but also free to implement and require no royalties.

same here... i tried it running on my HP HDX system and found it to to be a bit slower than the older version

is there codes package in the repository, as I was not able to locate, and would build next distro once 11.3 is released, can we install it or only use it as a live distro?

I think you need to add Packman or one such repos for codecs (gstreamer et al). And yes it can be bundled as a live distro and also can be used to install.

A

is the upcoming dream linux 4 include programming tools for all languages like suse/fedora.

Alright, tried to install 10.04 in my Thinkpad R50e (i855GM graphics) and the 'Blank Screen' appears. No surprise, as I see many threads and solutions listed in Ububtuforums.

I guess there no simple solution (I mean a non-techie way) for this right?

So try 9.10 till it is fixed?

Which Compaq lappy do you have, my bro has a Compaaq v6608AU laptop,I was interested in trying it out on it.[ubuntu] Does Ubuntu 10.04 work successfully on Compaq Presario V6608AU? - Ubuntu Forums & I tried to burn my Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD but could not even do that *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/open-source-software/129069-cant-create-live-cd-iso-digit-dvd.html

Alright, google is our friend!

Got this link - Live-CD of Ubuntu 10.04 with updated Intel-drivers and 855gm-patched kernel-modules Glasens Blog Downloading the CD now, hope it solve the intel driver issue. I will keep you updated.

Downloaded but no luck, some Glib error this time

Seems it is better to stick with 9.10 version for me

the compiz of 10.04 has issues with intel 945series

the compiz of 10.04 has issues with intel 945series

Hi socrates!

Mine is Compaaq v3425AU with Nvidia6100GO card, Prior to 10.04 not a single version of Ubuntu can be installed in this laptop straight away. upon booting it willways spit fire as well as blank white screen appear and no end to it till the power buttons pressed for off. Even for Mint same treatment.. So I have to manually add VGA=788 or VGA=798 depending upon screen size.. but all of these nightmare now vanish in 10.04 and booting is faster in seconds.. I have disable the session remembering services and others so the Desktop appear very quicker.. Now I am experimenting with pepermint OS (LXDE desktop clone of Ubuntu)..
But I hear that the intel old chipsets are not supported in current version of Ubuntu. so the problems..
Insuch case try PCLINUXOS 2010
My advice to all the Linux users is Dont always relay on the Magazines CDs/DVD as the quality is always 50:50 due to wear and dear /handling in the retailer ends. always directly download from themirrors/torrents..also check your CDwriter/DVDwriter..only after bad burms of more than 10 DVD I relised that my DVD has struggling at its end of life and need replacements.. Badburn is the most reason for installation failures
