Who upgraded to Ubuntu Beta 1 too? :D

[TheNerdAL]

I did today and it wasn't that bad. It didn't boot up right but I searched it on Google and found the solution! :D

It still has some bugs but it's still quite usable.

Have you upgraded yet?

Discuss here! :D

[phrostbyte]

Not on production machines just yet. :p

[TheNerdAL]

Not on production machines just yet. :p

I upgraded on my main computer. :P

[sandyd]

i will test it, but since kde 4.5 (svn) is still compiling, im gonna have to wait until I get some form of GUI running. before I can emerge virtualbox.

[Noz3001]

Yeah, it's quite buggy =|

[slooksterpsv]

I downloaded the 64-bit DVD ISO. I like the new setup, except the end part (when doing a virtualbox install) where it shows what it's doing during the install, couldn't see that as it was below the viewing area.

Overall, it's fast, due to the 2.6.35 kernel, it feels optimized, but it is buggy still (and will never be perfect cause no OS is perfectly bug free =D, but Ubuntu is the closest it will get =D).

I can't wait to put it on my big computer (later tonight)

[NightwishFan]

I installed from daily and use it day to day. I want to get some attention to some upstream bugs I have with 2.6.35 (upstream as in for all systems not just ubuntu).

As for Ubuntu specific bugs, I have used every development version since Gutsy and there are not as many visible ones. I quite like it.

[Ctrl-Alt-F1]

I'll wait. It's taken me a while to hone 10.04 into a perfect (for me) state. I'll download 10.10 when it's released. For now, Gnome is Gnome is Gnome.

[lovinglinux]

I just did a fresh install, a hour ago. Looks fine to me, although I'm using a kde-minimal installation. No Gnome and lots of other stuff.

BTW, I only do fresh installs and only install development releases as my main system during beta phase.

I'm also using Firefox 4 beta too, which is not included and will not be included in the final Maverick. Firefox 4 rocks!

[ElSlunko]

Both gnome & kde flavours crashed hard on me. I usually have good luck with betas just not this one.

[AllRadioisDead]

I'm using it right now, works fine.

[andymorton]

I'm using it right now, works fine.

Me too. No problems so far.

I was having boot issues too. What was your problem?

[DeadlyWolf]

Me too. No problems so far.

Me too. Best Ubuntu I have used. :D

I upgraded on my main computer. :P

WOW!!!

Anyway, it sits on a VM for me for feedback

[Arvie]

Did a clean install of the beta yesterday. First attempt failed: installer got stuck at about 2/3rd. Then did a 'try Ubuntu 10.10' from live-USB and installed from there by clicking on 'install' icon. Made sure internet connection was working, which seemed to help. Glitch: installer slide show cut off right part of text(on my Asus eeepc 900; YMMV). For the basic stuff that I use, the beta is running fine. No huge differences with 10.04, so stick to the LTS if stability is important.

[Motomouse]

Put the 64bit ISO on a stick and partitioned my second hd with the stick for a parallel install. I like to take risks ;)

Booted fine, put up the nvidia driver, lookin good so far.

I think there is a bug in the "About Ubuntu" & the "Help & Support" application as the fonts of the menu in those apps is all messed up- they are all boxes.

Also, any idea why the Ubuntu font isn't available?

[Motomouse]

Hey, and it even supports my Nokia 5800 (usb mass storage) and it has packages for opencv 2.1. I like it!

WHAT??
What browser will be used in maverick instead of Fx?

[stmiller]

I upgraded- so far so good! The only bad thing for me is that it installed pulseaudio after I had previously removed it.

Probably due to some dependencies or such, but no prob.

[Naiki Muliaina]

Downloaded the beta ISO, will be installing this afternoon. :)

[QwUo173Hy]

He means Firefox4 won't be default for Maverick. Not Firefox in general.

[Linye]

Nope, maybe after its final release, maybe.

Firefox 3.6

Firefox 4, which has a lot of new features, new UI, new extension manager is planned to be released in November, so it won't make into Maverick. Firefox 4 Beta 4 is already available for download tho.

curiously, do you know where I can get ebuilds for firefox 4.0 under gentoo?
Gentoo normally releases beta stuff masked into portage, but it seems that they don't have it... yet

What are you talking about? I'm using Firefox 4 beta6-pre.

I love Maverick. its awesome.

[Noz3001]

Lack of proprietary ATI driver disturbs me..

[Jesus_Valdez]

Maybe Im missing something, but aren't they gonna start upgrading to the latest Firefox version?

I remember reading something in that vein, that they are going to start uploading the latest Firefox to the official repositories.

So, Firefox 4 is going to be there when is ready.

The currently official beta version (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/) released by Mozilla is Firefox 4.0b4. The 4.0b5 is to be officially released on Tuesday (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases). Nevertheless, you can get the first candidate build from the nightly repository (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b5-candidates/). Consequently, the 4.0b6pre, is already available from mozilla-central (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/) and ubuntu-mozilla-daily (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa).

Bottom line, you only have Firefox 4.0b6pre because you have included ubuntu-mozilla-daily repository in your sources list. This means you are running Firefox 4 side-by-side with Firefox 3.6 and using a cloned user profile.

The default Firefox version of Maverick is 3.6 and will continue to be when Maverick gets released.

On a side note, running Firefox 4.0beta6pre or any other 4.0pre version is highly not recommended, because Firefox 4 is under heavy development and several things are changing, drastically. So I would recommend running the official 4.0b4 for now or the 4.0b5 candidate.

BTW, I'm running 4.0b5 candidate build 1.

No it won't. The only reason Canonical pushed Firefox 3.6 to Hardy, Jaunty is because Firefox 3.0 reached end-of-life and is no longer supported by Mozilla. The last version released was 3.0.19.

There is no reason to upgrade Firefox 3.6 to 4 while 3.6 is still supported by Mozilla and the developers already said they won't (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9666954&postcount=9).

I tried it out for an hour before going back to 10.04. It has quite a number of bugs. I also don't like the fact that the Software Center in 10.10 now handles all .Deb installation.
