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...

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
