Share with the community your Jaunty Jackalope install/upgrade experience

I've been running Hardy as I had kernel compatibility problems with Intrepid.

I updated through the update manager, and although slow, the speed did pick up in the early hours of this morning - I guess the servers were very busy last night,

I had issues with viewing videos on YouTube, but I went into Synaptic, searched 'Flash', and re-installed all marked results. This has sorted out YouTube, but some other Flash based sites are still not working properly.

In the whole scheme of things this is hardly a major problem, and Jaunty looks really good so far.

ok i'm putting in my vote for "Upgrade - worked but had few things to fix, nothing serious though" on this old Sony pcg-tr3a laptop.

those few things, so far:

0. download was really slow. after cancelling and performing "select best server" the upgrade went much faster. maybe "select best server" could be automated for upgrades?
1. i use xscreensaver, so had to reinstall that
2. i don't use all that evolution* stuff, so had to re-remove that. probably a lot of other stuff got re-installed too that i had previously removed (ubuntu-desktop dependent i suppose), i will slowly remove that over time as i notice it.
3. i don't care for the new yellow color for the system monitor's network statistics.
4. adobe flash got installed? "WARNING: Installing this Ubuntu package causes the Adobe flash plugin to be downloaded from www.adobe.com. The distribution license of the Adobe flash plugin is available at www.adobe.com. Installing this Ubuntu package implies that you have accepted the terms of that license."
i never was prompted about the license, nor did i agree to it. will be removing this. how about supporting gnash?
5. sansa e280 mp3 player doesn't seem to be getting mounted. i can see it is detected in dmesg, though. found a bug report and workaround for this, which did work in my case.

i have an encrypted hdd, so that is always a concern when upgrading, but no problems with that. rt2860 wifi card still working great (not really). sound and video appear OK, played back a divx file fine.

all in all i am very pleased. thanks!!

Fresh install here (I had originally installed the 32 bit version of hardy instead of the 64bit one), no problems with any hardware.

Hi!

These are my results.

1. Medion Akoya Mini E1210. Clean install. Absolutely no problem. Everything working out of the box. Thunderbird gave me a problem with IMAP google account configuration, but I could fix with an addon.

2. My home server (P4, ACME Motherboard, old ATI GPU, lots of HDDs). From 8.10, just clicked to 9.04 and everything worked ok. Fantastic.

3. HTPC. (Homemade PC: Asus M2N, AMD Be2350x2, 7950GT passive, DVB PCI card, and Logitech DiNovo bluetooth keyboard). I couln't resolve the keyboard issue in 8.10 [edit](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/205991), and I was told that in 9.04 will work, but no luck. Though in normal boot, the keyboard can connect normally, after a suspension (most normal in a HTPC), keyboard is dead, and only works re-plugging the USB dongle.

I only hate that this laptop (my company one) has to have compulsory Windows

Best regards,

I've upgraded 1 laptop from the RC (ext3), performed a fresh install on an EeePC 901 (ext4), and 1 virtualbox installation (ext4). All were seamless and all finished with no hitches. In fact, the EeePC rebooted so fast that I didn't have time to pull out the SD card and had to restart again.

Upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. Upgrade will not start. Update manager loads 2 of 2, upgrade window appears, press upgrade button, nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Wait a week that ubuntu servers are less loaded. The first week after the release is always full of "server not responding" kind of errors with update-manager.
If you can't wait download the CD via bittorrent and update with the CD.
Too much people love ubuntu

Installed from liveCD, changed over to ext4 and everything worked flawlessly. Can certainly notice differences compared with my old 8.10 installation, sound has improved (more volume than previously) and screen resolution seems better (subpixel rendering works better now and fonts look a lot clearer and sharper). Very happy with it so far.

Updated yesterday and everything worked fine. Still no compiz though

damn the s3 chip!

9.04 seems faster and lighter. Nothing troubling to report and i hope it stays that way!

First time ever that update manager has worked flawlessly (5th upgrade) as it usually mucks something up and I need to reinstall from an alternate install CD. This is on an older IBM T-30 laptop with 1GB RAM. That is the good news.

The bad news is that Conky has disappeared behind my desktop background and can only be enabled by calling it from a command line. More importantly, my flawlessly working Sleep, which I messed with various config files to get working (and have no idea how to replicate or restore) is now not working.

p.s. Congrats to the developers on a relatively smooth upgrade. The boot speed is fast enough I might not even need sleep mode.
