[arunks]

it is big pic ..easily seen..

how have you missed that

[kalpik]

Final version: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/.pool/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso

Shhhh.. :D

[JGuru]

Yes, Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft has been released. I'm downloading it.
@Kalpik, Where did you get that download URL link from? The Ubuntu
website still shows the same Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake links for download!!

[gary4gar]

damm.
me on dial-up so pics were off!
will get 6.10 right away:-P


but why still 6.06 is on download page
http://www.ubuntu.com/download

[kalpik]

I got them from "internal" sources.. Haha.. actually got it from a thread at ubuntu forums.

Some more links:

ftp://ftp.ukc.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/.pool/
http://releases.ubuntu.com/.pool/

Both have both the RC and final version. Be sure to download the final one! (it does not have rc in the filename.

[arunks]

nice work kalpik..will try in few days as i have to download it..

also is ubuntu not providing free cds of this version as of 6.06

i think they willl provide as it will take sometime as it is just released today

[kalpik]

^^ No, they wont ship 6.10 CDs. Also, if you plannin to download in a few days, then download from official links, not these unofficial ones.

[mehulved]

I started the dist-upgrade at 6 am and it is expected to finish up in another 11 hrs.
I need more bandwidth :twisted: :twisted:

[saurabh.sauron]

how do u upgrade from dapper. i tried
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
nothing happened.
also, are there no torrent links available?

[JGuru]

@Kalpik, Thanks for the information. Yes, Kalpik is right. Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support).
So if you order online you'll get Ubuntu 6.06, not Ubuntu 6.10!!

@Saurabh.sauron, To upgrade Ubuntu 6.06 to Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), open the Terminal WIndow & type:

$ gksu "update-manager -c -d"

This will upgrade Ubuntu to the latest Ubuntu 6.10

NOTE: You must be running Ubuntu 6.06 for this to work

[saurabh.sauron]

well, i get this error...

Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

now what do i do?

[mehulved]

I dunno how that works. But what I do is.
:arrow: Open the /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor
:arrow: Replace All instances of dapper with Edgy
:arrow: Save it. (Most important thing)
:arrow: sudo apt-get update
:arrow: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[kalpik]

^^ The recommended way is what JGuru told. Only the correct command is gksu "update-manager -c"

The -d switch checks for development builds too! And we dont want you to get RC instead of the final!

Anyway, just installed edgy (im on it right now) and its working marvelously!

[mehulved]

Well I prefer a bit more manual labour :p
Mehnat ke phal meethe hote hain.

[arunks]

yo well said bro

[JGuru]

Yeah, @Mehul likes to work a bit more to get things done. He likes it that way.
Translation : The fruit of the labour is sweet.
Yes, it's very correct.

hope edgy+GNOME-2.16 Rocks!

[kalpik]

^^ It sure does! Specially the AIGLX part.. With XGL, there was corruption in videos n all. No such problem with AIGLX and Nvidia Beta driver!

[gxsaurav]

is it worth upgrading to 6.10 from 6.06 in a virtual machine enviroment? donno if Gnome 2.16 is anygood over gnome 2.14 in this case

full cd download is 700 MB, but if i upload using this

gksu "update-manager -c"

how much is the typical download size

[mehulved]

Hmm I guess it won't so be useful to you gx. This release has been more focussed on improvements that you as an end user will rarely see. The changes will be more exciting to developers and Open Source enthusiasts.
Well, the next release, Feisty, will be focussing more on multimedia, hardware support and a lot more. Read this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-October/000212.html. So, it will be Feisty that we might see some really great changes, if they get to their goals.

[praka123]

yup installed it!Rocking with GNOME 2.16!
__________
hmm....GNOME is faster in edgy..
