Anyone run into any issues with it? Thinking about upgrading from 9.10.

I've been running Kubuntu 10.04 for a while with no real issues. However, it's usually recommended not to put a test version on a productivity machine. If you've got the time and guts to test the unofficial, go ahead, I think you will like it, otherwise, wait a few weeks :)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1 (downloading beta 2 as I write this), and I love it. I had to skip 9.10 because of issues with my wireless USB modem, but 10.04 is running smoothly so far.

Running Lucid on my laptop and desktop. The sound on my desktop messes up when flash video comes up, but other than that, it's fine. The button location isn't so terrible when you get used to it... it's just annoying that Canonical made the decision without informing us to their reasoning.

Also, I feel Gwibber is useless, but that's just me.

Stable? Feels kinda like it.

Q: Are you running Ubuntu 10 yet?
A: Nope. Not yet. Im back to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Will do a fresh install later, 1 month after the release. Usually, new releases have issues. It's better to wait than to run into trouble.

I am, on 2 machines. No big issues so far, except the fsck "interface" (purple boot) needs more polishing (just ignore the seizures, it will let you push a key after a long while, when it finishes the background check i guess...).

I'm running Lucid on 2 desktop systems and my netbook. Personally it 's running great for me. Boot times range from 15 - 20 seconds.

There are many people that are having problems especially with plymouth, I'd suggest waiting until the final release.

Been using Ubuntu 10.04 since the alpha release works fine for me, btw if you keep installing updates you don't need to install beta 2 if you have beta 1.

Running here too without issues, except for this problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1450222).

Looks like Lucid will be a success.

Anyway, I recommend that you run the LiveCD first to see if everything works, then install it on a separate partition before installing on your production environment.

No problems, except no splash screen(but boot speed is fast, so it doesn't bother me)

there is a splash, but it goes past the splash so quickly that yoi dont see it. which is why im curious why the splash is only shown for a short period of time, not when the screen is still black...

Yep since the alpha release. I upgraded from Karmic and i'm now at the point that the updating processes messed up my boot splash on my laptop and the passwd command doesn't work anymore. On my desktop it worked allricht so I don't think it will be an issue with a fresh install, wich i wanted to do anyway.
Besides that it's working just fine :)

Yes I'm running the 64bit and one issue. Hotplug drives not being recognized. I have to manually mount. I guess I could edit /etc/fstab, but it's not that big an issue and the fix may be in the pipe

Using ubuntu 10.04. I have a problem where it freezes for 20s after the GDM login. All there is is the blank desktop wallpaper and no hard drive activity.

Anyone else got this problem?

Otherwise it seems to be ok!

I upgraded to 10.04 and had some serious speed problems. Maybe it was just me though but I'd wait for the stable release to come out if I was you.

I forgot to mention that on my first install I lost Internet connection after a day. I guess it was because I re-installed all my previous packages using a dpkg --set-selections. So I did a new clean install and installed all packages manually, without installing the network manager. No problems yet. (I'm using KDE by the way).

This was the only serious issue I ran into:

Gnome display manager got broken after a dist upgrade from Beta 1 to Beta 2.

I'm running 10.04 Beta 1 in VirtualBox, and after I updated it about 5 days ago I've gotten far fewer crashes. I'll wait until 10.04 is officially released and System76 has driver support for my laptop before running it as my main OS.

Been runnning Lucid since alpha 1, and no issues.

I've been running 10.04 since the beginning of March, no real issues here, in fact, the biggest issue is the boot screen which looks like it's displaying at 640x480 on my 1920x1200 display ;) other than that, no issues for me.

That said, I'd wait unless you're prepared for possible breakage. Chances of that are slimmer now because of feature freeze, but still... :)

Well I am waiting for the stable version to upgrade. I do not want to mess up my working machine. Reinstalling all over again is a pain.

I have been running it since Alpha-1, but only in test mode. I am still using Karmic for my main system.

I'm running it. I wouldn't recommend an upgrade unless the risk of breakage doesn't bother you .
