vaithy · 29-04-2010, 04:07 PM

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..https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ty/+bug/570765

Just give a warning report Guys!!

vaithy · 30-04-2010, 03:23 AM

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?

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 !

**ico** · 30-04-2010, 02:23 PM

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

celldweller1591 · 30-04-2010, 02:47 PM

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 !

vaithy · 30-04-2010, 04:09 PM

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 !

siddharthmakwana · 30-04-2010, 04:42 PM

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....

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

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

http://ubunturelease.hnsdc.com/10.04/

Hope DVD will be released soon....

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

Liverpool_fan · 30-04-2010, 05:31 PM

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.

**ico** · 30-04-2010, 06:03 PM

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

celldweller1591 · 30-04-2010, 06:55 PM

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

**krishnandu.sarkar** · 30-04-2010, 10:49 PM

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

6x6 · 01-05-2010, 05:04 AM

Liverpool_fan · 01-05-2010, 10:59 AM

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

**krishnandu.sarkar** · 01-05-2010, 11:27 AM

Gwibber is buggy. Nothing shows in the timeline

way2jatin · 01-05-2010, 01:08 PM

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

hellknight · 01-05-2010, 04:10 PM

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

**ico** · 01-05-2010, 05:36 PM

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

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.
