Upgrading my distro now

[ade234uk]

Well I thought I would take the chance and just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 update-manager -d, hopefully this will resolve my sound issues. I'm missing sound on Ubuntu.

When I tried the Alpha sound worked out of the box, I am hoping doing this It will achieve the same.

Hope you backed up Jaunty in case Karmic breaks your setup.

Well luckily enough I got away with it. XServer crashed on me, so I booted with the other kernel, downgraded the Nvidia beta driver and now everything is ok, however I still have no sound. Will wait for final release because it worked on the Alpha Live CD.

OS feels a bit quicker too, but remember it's a bit of mash up at the moment, so hopefully will once I do a fresh install it should a lot quicker.

The new boot sequence looks very professional, and the new Ubuntu Software Center will be so easy for new people coming to Ubuntu. I know some people don't like it, but I found it helpful.
