ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope
Anyone ran the update in Ubuntu 8.10 for 9.04?
I was about to flick the switch, then read a few of the bugs they have for it still, and wondered if anyone has taken the plunge yet.

I actually just downloaded the images yesterday. I want to upgrade my PC to SATA hard drives before I upgrade, because I usually do a full reinstall anyways. (My home directory is on a different partition, so I only have to reinstall software).

Is a full install better, or do you do that just to start a fresh?

Upgrades used to mess with my nVidia driver, and I frequently encounter other problems when upgrading. I do like the fresh start as well.

I have Ubuntu 8.x but I gave up trying to install my Broadcom wifi card.
Now I have a Linksys draft-n card, maybe the Jackalope will work better for me

What were the issues? I have been running dual screens since I started using Ubuntu (6.06). I use the nVidia config utility, and not the Ubuntu native one.

This is pr0gr4mm3r's comment, not mine. No idea why it's showing up under my name.
Although I did post another message in this thread that isn't showing up, but it is quoted by pr0gr4mm3r above.
About the nvidia problems - I can't remember exactly what happened but it just wouldn't recognize my external monitor. It's not actualy dual monitors - it's an external monitor connected to a laptop. Not sure if that should make any difference or not... I know other people have had problems with nvidia and Ubuntu 8.10.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a test box to see how some of the new advancements are working out. Turns out, it has support for my mobile phone (SGH-A707) out of the box now...w00t!!!1

Ubuntu is a popular "brand" of the Linux OS.
From Wikipedia:
I have Ubuntu installed as a dual boot on my PC - on startup I can choose to run Vista or Ubuntu. There are other options, including running a limited capability version of Ubuntu from a cd disk.

The new notifications are kinda cool, except I don't think someone signing into IM justifies one of those alerts, there is a way to disable it though.
Looks like other people found the shutdown confirmation annoying. I will see if I can find that gconf key when I get home this afternoon.

Sorry, I was referring to the update notices not the notification system - that I kind of like.
I also totally hate the new version of Ararok which came with this release. I couldn't even figure out how to get it to play the way I want it to (after, like, 5 minutes of trying but still...)

I installed a fresh copy of 9.04, everything about it is great but I seem to have speed issues, even though 8.10 was fine and my computer isn't the problem, just seems choppy for me. Other then that it's great.
Make your imagination come to life.....for just $19.95

How much different do you think the PPC version is found on This Page are from the x86 versions? I am thinking about switching my powerbook to linux and am thinking about debian or ubuntu. I don't want to download a dvd image on our dsl or I would try YellowDog.

Xtron: ATi stopped supporting a bunch of graphics cards and there was a problem with Intel (fixed now I think, you should get a kernel update at some point). ATi have dumped support for graphics cards over two years old it seems, which sucks. So, if you have an ATi or Intel, the chances are your desktop is no longer hardware accelerated.
Try running
glxinfo | grep 'render'
from the command line, if it says 'direct rendering: no' and/or 'Mesa' in the OpenGL renderer string then chances are you've lost the graphics card accelerated desktop with Jaunty.Well most of the packages in the x86 repositories should also be in the PPC ones. Most noticeable omissions are Flash and Java. Frankly though, I've never tried it.
