Flight 5 is here

[Alpha_toxic]

Has anyone noticed that there is a new Flight?

I'm currently on the torrent \\:D/
The Kubuntu one hasn't shown up yet, but I hope it will soon :)

Is dapper basicly just new packages? Or what :p

'cause like when MS release a new version it tends to 'appear' different... :p

[Dark Nations]

Downloading is 50% complete.

Dapper is the next version of Ubuntu. When it reaches stability (sometime just after April) you will be able to upgrade to it as if it were a package by dist-upgrading.

When you upgrade, your computer will download a shedfull of files and other hoo-haa. It will reboot once or twice and then dump you back at your desktop. All your programs you installed in Breezy will still be there in Dapper.

Going from Breezy > Dapper is like going from Windows 2000 > Windows XP, except without the install CD (you can use a CD if you wish though).

Can't wait for Dapper \\:D/

There's already a thread about Dapper Flight5: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=812844 :)

hehe, check out the timing, I was first ;)

Oh, btw, I should point out that the official release of Dapper might be postponed for another 6 weeks. Check out the Dapper section for more info. (quadruple emphasis on "might", as Mark is calling for a "community town meeting" on March 14 on IRC. Just don't know who the "community" part is).

Alpha_toxic: Oppps :eek: Sorry :)

I download i386 install and live torrents and start to seed them. Have about 10 mbit of free upload to share. :D And using Dapper, you are going to like it. :)

[Alpha_toxic]

You should also look at this
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight5
I think the main improvement is in the graphical installer of .deb with the dependances

[Xian]

We could always use more seeders for the torrents....

[Dark Nations]

I'll be glad to help seed, soon as I figure out why Flight 5 keeps excluding the OpenOffice updates and the usuall configuration.

[Dark Nations]

Ah, Seems I found a visual bug already. =)

Each of these shots have bugs. I only have 1 floppy drive and 2 hard drives.

[K.Mandla]

Thus far with Dapper I've had some visual problems -- things I think I can trace back to the nvidia driver and my particular card. I'm downloading 5 now, though. I like to tinker with those things.

[DigitalDuality]

Installed Flight 5 :) I like it so far.

I've already got Dapper Flight 4... so I just upgraded last night.
I hate the new theme that's being used (But that's for another thread)- Gentle works about ten times better for me.

That was my first impression with the new theme but I decided to run it awhile and see if it grows on me.

I like the theme except for the progess bar. I dont like the lines on it. I really liked the candy cane style on the original clear looks. Other then that I think its more user freindly then the brown theme. The orange does give it a fresh look.
I am downloading the live AMD64 CD to give it a spin.
From the screen shots I am impressed tho and do like the direction Dapper is going in.
Cheers,
Joey

Sweet. I'm going to try the AMD64 version.

[Dark Nations]

I love the new theme. I wonder if anyone here can port the Flight5 theme to breezy.

[DigitalDuality]

Pretty stable been running it all day, not having problems doing anything. :)

[Stormy Eyes]

I just installed Flight 5 for AMD64. It's nice and fast, and I was able to get MP3 playback working by installing the relevant gstreamer-0.10 plugins. DVD playback was a little more difficult; I had to install the build-essential and xine-ui packages (because TOTEM STILL SUCKS!) and then run this script:

/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
Flash is no good, but I can live without that. I've also installed VLC, and that handles most of my movie files (except WMV9, but that's just porn).

Since yesterday:

dapper-install-i386 uploaded 23 Gb
dapper-live-i386 uploaded 28 Gb.

Bittorrent is anice thing. :)

[Rackerz]

Would you recommend I use the livecd of flight 5 or install?

[Jucato]

Maybe both? :D
The Live CD has the experimental Espresso install system to let you install from the Live CD (ala Knoppix/SimplyMEPIS). However, it's still not yet that stable. Use it if you want to help to test it out. :D
However, if you have decided this early that you will install Dapper (hopefully on a separate partition first) then perhaps you're better off downloading the install ISO.
