The Lucid Lynx Thread

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Hey all,

Just thought I'd start a thread for the upcoming release, 1 day to go. People can post all their random rants in here.

So who's using the release candidate already?

 

[Tassidar]

Been using happily since alpha 2. Looks very good.

 

[sn3rd]

I feel like a kid on Christmas eve... Albeit a slightly geeky one

Can't wait

 

[demOZZracy]

Cant wait any longer, got a netbook friday. Do you think it will be on the IS ftp or anywhere local (early tomorrow morning) for us without international at the moment?

Oh and will it have aero effects such as in windows Vista/7?
Im kind of a noob when it comes to Linux

 

[dabbler]

My concern is no Seacom to kill my left-over bandwidth (4GB) before the end of the month. I was hoping to use it to download Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu install cd's

Come on Seacom...we need some bandwidth.

Aero effects are lame compared to what you can achieve with Compiz. And yes, it will have aero effects

anyone know the latest on the last-minute memory leak issue ? did they resolve it, or are they rolling back ?

yeah I was hoping to do the same- I have moved over to cybersmart from the 1 may, so still have some left over bandwidth from my previous supplier that im hoping to use up before the end of the month. on a side note- isn't it just international that is down- you could probably download from a local mirror.

I'm pretty sure it'll only be later on tomorrow; there's still much that needs to be done, ESPECIALLY for the LTS.

deadlines..... im sure there are a LOT of people not going to get any sleep tonight! well I certainly appreciate their hard work.

 

[hawker]

I've been using it quite happily since alpha3. Loving it to bits. So far it is rock solid for me.

 

[czc]

I'll be trying it out. Hopefully I can get Linux friendly with my ATI

 

[dabbler]

Its 5 past midnight and my Ubuntu updates are coming in at 60kB/s...from the local mirror which normally run at 430kB/s
I hope the bandwidth returns before the end of the month

EDIT: And on top of it all its LTS release day, so I hope the bandwidth is back before the official release.

 

[demOZZracy]

It's not out yet
Waiting in agony here....

 

[jeanres]

And you all could have installed debian testing.. and not have waited

 

[AK65]

Waiting...Still no release yet (10:03am)

 

[Seeyou]

Bit of a beginner question here, but will an install of the RC be upgradeable via updates to the final?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Looks like we'll have to wake for the Yanks to wake up before we get it.

Shouldn't be a problem, go:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

 

[VonPickle]

Still trying to decide if I'm going to update my work machine or do a fresh install, can't wait
