Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" RELEASED


Recommended Posts

i think i'll probably do what i do every time ubuntu is released and that's download it and give it a twirl just to uninstall it about 3 days later..

downloading now :p

You had us worried there :laugh:

I'm actually going to wait for my CD to arrive. That way within a few weeks there will be some bugs ironed out when I use the update manager

Easily fixed with the partition manager.

It allows windows to boot up to the welcome screen and then resets the laptop, the dualboot works, but it messes with windows somehow

soon as I delete the linux partition, windows is happy again

I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm pretty much a noob to Linux, so unfortunately I can't provide much help. Maybe there is an ACPI/Power Management set of drivers you can download for the problematic PCs similar to Windows.

Also, I would check the BIOS of those PCs and see what the ACPI mode is set to. For Suspend to RAM to work I believe you need a mode that has S3 enabled, so either S1 and S3, or just S3.

ill have to look for the drivers for them since my main computer has a nforce4 chipset

I got a question about the shipit CDs

They don't give you an option to select 32 or 64bit like before. Do they now send both versions?

As far as I know, it's 32 bit they ship. I don't remember being able to choose when you order.

Again, the dual boot kills my windows from booting grr...

Separate partition or from *within Windows* (the Wubi Method)?

I used the latter with Ubuntu 10.04 RTW (and had with Kubuntu 10.04 RC, both x64) and 7 x64 and have (and had) nary a quibble.

The only quibble I have is with Ubuntu itself (and it has to do with GNOME, not KDE), so I will be adding KDE to the mix and moving my default login there.

Is the overlapping partition data still there? You can do the fdisk -l thing from within the LiveCD and it will look at the Windows setup as it is working.

As I said in your technical support thread, the overlapping Windows partition data is NOT normal. It is a bad thing.

I'm downloading later tonight, I have strict bandwidth caps during the day.

Satellite internet is le suck. :(

Edit: Forgot the mention I would likely be installing via Wubi as I'm a bit lazy to deal with partitioning and the fact I don't want to risk messing anything up.

some people live in locations where neither dsl or cable or available.

Correct, I moved with my parents out in the boonies. In another couple months I'll have an apartment in the city and sweet cable internet. :p

Well to get back on topic I am contemplating on installing Ubuntu 9.10 and just running an upgrade, to save myself from downloading the full distro tonight.

I didnt have time to mess, my gf was rushing me to get windows working again so she could play her games, and I couldnt be bothered to argue so I just did a repair to get back into windows, wiped Ubuntu and restored the MBR

She has only a few levels left on 1 game and I told her its getting wiped after that, so I`ll try again with a fresh windows install soon, but for now I am using Wubi :)

Thanks

Quite happy with the netbook edition on my Samsung NC20. Only thing missing is the brightness settings. The volume buttons work great, but not the brightness ones. Didn't on the desktop release either. Only in the brightness notification did appeared.

It also looks to be a little more friendly on my battery. So far at least.?

Try the brigtness script on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samsung_N150, if you search for Samsung on the Arch Wiki you'll get scripts for other models as well, they are mostly the same but

DEVICE=00:02.0

can change between devices.

Thanks.

Though I'm amused that they assume I know what file format the script should be in. What should I use as file type for the script posted there? And what to call it?

I cannot stand this whole "let's move the buttons on the left" thing. Yeah, I know you can change it back to the right with some annoying gconf editing, but it breaks the new themes because the groove the buttons are in only works with the min and max switched weirdly.

Now it's gonna be really annoying to find themes. You're gonna have half of em made for the left-side button arrangement and then you're gonna have the other have for the right-side button arrangement, it's gonna be really irritating now. I'm pretty sure the majority of linux converts are from windows, not mac...

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
