Ubuntu Natty 11.04 Release

[MyWorld]

I just gave up and installed Arch last night on my netbook, I guess I'll just stick to the best.

KDE4 with direct rendering (what ubuntu could not do) and all the bells and whistles runs flawlessly atm.

Why not try MEPIS just been released and runs like a charm.

I'm thinking of giving Arch a go - sound like my kind of thing. However, I am lazy. Hmmmm.

Been using it for a week or so.

Still havening to find my way round the new UI.

Battery life seems to be OK'ish so far.

I miss the taskbar and old UI, was quick selecting apps you really need... *sigh*

That is why I put it off installing Arch on my netbook, thought it would be a mission to get everything working, but it wasn't, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that everything was quite straight forward.

I have to say I like it. They shouldn't have removed the panels and unity needs more work though.

I'm specifically thinking of running the LTSP. Anyone tried it yet?

It broke my netbook, no way in hell I would let it anywhere close to a server even if its a home server.

By it I mean Kernel.

Downloaded on day of release, installed & using since. Unity needs some polish but system has been stable & I am getting used to the changes. Software Center is very good now but Empathy still does not work with MXit :-(

 

[flarkit]

I'm a little hesitant about upgrading, since I have a functioning, stable setup. Still, the linux-geek in me is *very* curious about Unity

Use a VM then?

Ubuntu just "removed" the firmware for the wireless USB stick we use... I just better stop right here otherwise I'm going to go into an endless rant...

Why not? Let us hear it. That's really uncool to notice something does not work anymore, whereas it once did.

Can it just be the case of a conflicting driver that needs to be blacklisted?

Which USB stick you using ?

 

[MyWorld]

I is the RTL8192U_USB firmware that got nuked.

I had to reinstall the kernel firmware and kernel sources to get it back, basically haul a cable all over that place from the router to the "broken" PC and reinstall those packages. Why on earth it did this in the first place is beyond me.

Netbook version is great!

 

[warwickw]

I installed 11.04 on my AspireOne netbook, and I am impressed everything works correctly.

Cool. Thanx for the heads up. I will proceed with caution.

So I took the plunge and installed it on my Dell Studio 1555 notebook. Everything is working like a charm. The wireless proprietary drivers was picked and activated without any hiccups. The wide screen is working like a charm. Even my camera is working 100%.

Just need to get used to Unity, but so far no problems. Installed Kvpnc + vpnc and imported my .pcf files without a glitch and it connects to my remote vpn site's without any issue's.
