-1 day: let's do the countdown

-20 hours

If you have installed the beta and done the updates then you probably already have 11.04. Speaking from experience, they don't generally release a tonne of new packages on release day.

However they will updated the website and have a new ISO for download... And users who have maverick will get the option to upgrade in their update manager. Unless anything has changed this time that's usually how they roll out the new versions.

[user1397]

wow! for some reason i had it in my head that natty was coming out next week, this makes me happy :)

I don't know how many people do this, but even though I have Beta2 installed I am going to wipe it out and install 11.04 release fresh and new. Yes I know I could do a dist-upgrade, but where is the fun in that? :D

[AdvocateUK]

I have 11.04 Beta 2 installed and will do a dist-upgrade tomorrow to get 11.04 final. My only dilemma is whether or not to install Gnome 3 again. I'd been using Gnome 3 on 11.04 for a while and decided to reinstall to get Unity back and as soon as I did I missed Gnome 3.....go figure :s

OOH! My first post!

[Johnsie]

Doing a fresh install is a good idea if that is an option. Sometimes breakage in the betas doesn't get repaired when doing an upgrade. Even upgrading from one release to another can cause breakage or there may be something that doesnt update fully.

For example, older versions of Ubuntu used the Ext3 filesytem. Later on ext4 became the default... But if you were upgrading from an older version with ext3 it wouldn't automatically give you ext4. You needed to either re-partition youir system or do a full re-install to get the ext4

[Frogs Hair]

I will be removing 10.10 and getting Windows ready for dual boot later . I won't try an upgrade ,there are to many horror stories and I don't want a mixture of two operating systems. Since we are all in different time zones I'm not sure what time the release will come .

Epic first post! :P

And how is Gnome3? I was reading the Gnome blog about G3 support on Ubuntu, and saw a lot of problems with it mainly with applets and indicators.

[Primefalcon]

Hell with waiting I am upating now!

[NormanFLinux]

I wish this was a sticky, lol. Users should post their experience with the new version and with Unity.

Let the waiting begin! :popcorn:

[3rdalbum]

I'm surprised people still wait. I don't wait - I've been using it on my netbook since the alphas, and on my desktop since the first beta.

While you're waiting... I'm actually USING it.

[dh04000]

I'm surprised people still wait. I don't wait - I've been using it on my netbook since the alphas, and on my desktop since the first beta.

While you're waiting... I'm actually USING it.

Lol, me too. On my netbook. I dist-upgrade'd at beta 1.

[Primefalcon]

Lol, me too. On my netbook. I dist-upgrade'd at beta 1.
My actually work is done on m home system so I need it fairly bug free So I wait till near release like now (dist upgrading now)

[An Sanct]

....

Since we are all in different time zones I'm not sure what time the release will come .

I'm also interested in this, exactly WHEN is the release? ADT/GTM ???

[NormanFLinux]

Judging by the release of Maverick Meerkat, it should be available on the Ubuntu servers about 11:00 AM EDT.

[alexan]

Judging by the release of Maverick Meerkat, it should be available on the Ubuntu servers about 11:00 AM EDT.

So, about ~22 hours?

But I do remember that maverick Meerkat was hot-delayed few hours for a problem with the iso cd (problem booting on some configuration)

[Swagman]

I think I'll wait a couple of weeks first then fresh install the 64 bit version (am currently on 32bit 10:10)

I have to say though that everytime I tried Natty on my USB stick I never once got that left sidebar dock

[cariboo]

There really isn't a set time for release, the best thing to do is check the ubuntu-announce (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-announce) mailing list, for the official release announcement, there will be many different sites saying Natty has been released, but they will usually have a link to the daily build for the 28th, and not the final release.

[Docaltmed]

I jumped the gun, too. Even though this is my work computer. I waited until a week ago, and figured that most of the death-dealing, data-eating, soul-stealing bugs had been worked out, and I could handle the occasional window opening sideways on a second monitor that's turned off, and stuff like that.

I was surprised by how much I liked it. Waiting for the artists to start rolling out the eye candy, but Unity is great. In my opinion. Which is worth what you paid for it.

[simpleblue]

For all those that cannot wait 21 hours I sympathise with you and offer the FULL VERSION of Ubuntu 11.04 for only:

$29.95*

* Product to be given upon receivement of payment (approx 2-3 days).

[lancest]

Solid as a rock since beta 2.

No more updates, this is the release.

Quite happy with it's performance, Unity is great.

Just a few minor bugs to clean up.

[Throne777]

Got bored of waiting and updated to 11.04. I guess because I updated rather than fresh install, some of the settings which should be default weren't, and some don't make a lot of sense.

Two quick issues.

1)I got rid of Rhythmbox, yet it's still appearing in the sound menu (except it just has a little cross next to it). How do I banish it from this menu?

2) The shortcuts menu is all wrong. It has Chromium as my 'choice' for 'Browse The Web' when Firefox is my default browser (so want 'browse the web' to open FF4, not Chromium). And the 'Listen to music' option opens Totem (or is it just called 'Movie player' now?). Anyway, I want it as Banshee. How do I change these?

[Johnsie]

I just tried the Fedora 15 live cd and am comparing it to 11.04. Haven't had time to decide which one I prefer. I sure miss the 'Applications' menu on both and also the 'Places' menu.

[Giraffemonster]

It's going to be ready by the time I come home from Track&Field.

Can't wait to try out Unity, or XFCE if I dislike it.

[Frogs Hair]

10.10 is gone , Windows is prepared for dual boot . I want the final release because I let others use the cd and there may still be changes . I haven't used Win 7 for this long in a while.

[thenickrulz]

How long till release now??

[Ken UK]

When it says 28th April for which time zone is that in sync with :D

[OpenOS]

what time will 11.04 be released in uk time im to impatient....

[Frogs Hair]

Wait until it appears here . http://release-blog.ubuntu.com/

[el_koraco]

fglrx is finally working for me. haleluyaaaaah

[uRock]

It is usually a day late here in the Pacific time zone.

[robgraves]

this might sound like a stupid question, but what is the time of release for the official ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhal, i know it's tomorrow (april 28, 2011) but like it 8 pm here eastern standard time in new york, what time tomorrow, by what time zone, is the official 11.04 available?

[Ken UK]

It is usually a day late here in the Pacific time zone.

Strange but good to know, can figure out when I'm going to set it going to download tomorrow :)

[nerdopolis]

Wow... This means Ubuntu 7.04 was four (!!!) years ago...

back then you could not get on ubuntu.com it was so overloaded before the release, and the waiting thread then ended up with hundreds (I think) of posts...

[scouser73]

Going by past releases, it's always been around 4pm UK time.

[ki4jgt]

You can download it now, just get the daily build. NOTE: The software's not officially sanctioned as bug free until they release it though :-)

EDIT: or for better phrasing virtually glitch free

What are you talking about. It is already the 28th here :p

[NormanFLinux]

We'll see if Mark Shuttleworth's effort to attract newbies to Linux will pay off with Unity.

This thread is worthless without pics. :lol:

[zenrox]

unity is nice but i liked xfce 4.8 better imho

[Giraffemonster]

What are you talking about. It is already the 28th here :p

He's asking about when Natty will be released, in his timezone. Still 27th here though.

[NormanFLinux]

Its just not Ubuntu: All the buntus will also be released tomorrow: Kubuntu and Xubuntu. Not sure about Lubuntu.

[robgraves]

lol, yeah

[Giraffemonster]

Referring to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1740669

The OP was 12 hours ago, and says that it's going to be released 20 hours after that post. So I'm guessing that Natty gets released in eight hours. 5:00AM in my timezone.

Considering that it was 8PM in your timezone an hour ago, and it's 9PM for me right now, we probably have the same timezone. So yeah, 5:00AM.

[MasterNetra]

lol Already on 11.04, won't be that big of a deal, just be a update thing for meh.

[robgraves]

sweet, thanks

I was kidding... but that's a beautiful desktop! The 10.10 desktop has no right click function. I take it its the 11.04 Beta 2 with all the updates?

Yeah the destop is a million times better than 10.10. I want to swich to 11.04 the second it comes out!!!

Are there any huge differences between final release and beta 2 ?
I've used beta2 for a while and fear that upgrade could cause some
serious problems

[NormanFLinux]

I love the Faenza icons. Although some people think they are too Fisher-Price like - dumbed down for children.

How do you put up an avatar, by the way? lol

[aguafina]

I won't be using disUnity, it does'nt like my spec,

3.17 GHZ Core2Duo
4 GB ram
8800 GT

When it goes from the Ubuntu screen to the desktop it goes to a black screen. then sometimes to the desktop. Something is telling me it's to do with compiz.

:DGnome 3 has no such problem.

[3rdalbum]

Well no, it shouldn't cause any problems. The difference between beta 2 and the final release is only really a few packages; it's like doing a post-release-update in that there's not a lot of change.

To the OP: Get in now before the rush. Download Beta 2 or the latest daily build, and then run Update Manager to make sure it's fully up-to-date. The daily build should pretty much be the release version anyway, as I haven't had any updates for a few days and here it's now the 28th.

[overdrank]

Threads merged :)

[Giraffemonster]

sweet, thanks

Glad to have helped.:)

And does anyone know how long it took them to download the 11.04 update? Anyone know the file size of the packages downloaded too?

[NormanFLinux]

Unity 2D should run fine on your desktop. It doesn't need Compiz.

[jordanv0712]

Should I download now before the rush for the final version?

[NormanFLinux]

Wait until the final version. The less you have to download in updates, the more you can enjoy running your new OS immediately.

[sefs]

Wow, did not even know there was a new release coming out today/tomorrow? I have not been part of the rush to get the latest and greatest since 9.04 lol. Miss it! Have fun troops! ):P

[NormanFLinux]

And to think people started flame wars here over Unity. Now every one wants to take a look at it! :lolflag:

[Crash 0verride]

I am lazy I don't want to download the full ISO when it is released I might as well download the beta now and just update later its not like I am going to be drastically using files on it between now and the updates I just want to make sure its compatible with my Quad-Head and that my video card, sound and plugin's for my files are all in place, Just saying that I got a new TB HD installed in this computer for Separate HD Booting for my Windows 7 and Ubuntu I can mount and mess with files but they are individual so less likely something comprising is going to leak into another HD.

[EminentSavage]

Try changing drivers - if you're using the proprietary driver then try the 3D Nouveau in Additional Drivers, or vice versa.

[K9Crunch]

Bump

[simpleblue]

Anyone know the exact time Natty will be released?

If it's released at the same time as Ubuntu 10.10 was then it would be ready to download in about 9 hours, but I don't think that there is an official time.

[3rdalbum]

Anyone know the exact time Natty will be released?

When they're sure that there are no critical showstopping bugs, and the final CD image has been sent successfully to the official mirrors, and the torrent has been started, and the release notes are in-place on the server, and the additions to the website to announce Ubuntu 11.04 are uploaded... that's when Natty will be released.

The process of uploading to the mirrors takes a variable amount of time depending on a lot of factors. There's no set time; when the servers are ready to get this additional load and there's a Download link on the main website, then it'll all be put into motion.

That's why I've been suggesting to get the beta or daily build NOW before the rush.

On the contrary, the process you describe above is why people should wait until AFTER the rush to upgrade.

Of course, though I suggest this, I upgraded Monday night on account of impatience. :oops: Though, save for a configuration issue with VirtualBox, my upgrade process went rather smoothly.

[tabibito]

I wonder why there is no countdown banner on the main site this time... Almost all previous releases had it...

[rez4]

i was going to wait until the release, but got impatient a week ago and installed beta 2...

so far so good, only a few minor annoyances... i think the "applications" and "files and folders" launchers on the launcher are annoying and unnecessary, and i don't like the hiding menus. other than that, i am a fan of unity and i look forward to watching its continued evolution.

(...even though i think i prefer thunderbird.)

[EminentSavage]

Wish they would hurry up and release it :D

[Brewtal]

Last night I broke down and setup a VM of 11.04 Beta 2.

I have to say I'm genuinely impressed with Unity, and I think what Shuttleworth and co. are doing is extremely cool.

That being said Unity is a rock solid DE for netbooks and touchscreens, as well as casual users. I don't think anyone should even give this a second thought. However, for power users like myself this release does give me some pause for my "Desktop."

Specifically many menu's and functionality that were previously easily accessible, now require some additional work. While it's honestly not that much more, I do think some additional development will be needed to further hone the GUI just a little bit more.

But it sure is pretty, and I can't wait for the official release today to play around with.

[Sonicrulz12]

i hope unity gets some themes like omgubuntu's theme for unity

[mamamia88]

Might switch my netbook over from debian testing but for the first time in my life i'm happy with windows on my main computer

[Sonicrulz12]

Ubuntu Certainly has changed over the past 7 years or so:popcorn:

[NormanFLinux]

A review from the UK only said the love handles feature didn't work for now... "love handles" on Ubuntu?

Yeah, right! :lolflag:

[weasel fierce]

Upgraded to Kubuntu 11.04 the other night. Works great though rekonq bugs out on flash video a LOT.

[wolfen69]

Are we there yet? Actually, I've been using it for a couple weeks now and think it's pretty good. But I'm using Gnome3. I'll have to install Unity on a separate drive or Vbox just so I know it and can help others.

[wolfen69]

Nice overview.

Any official news about pure Gnome 3 in 11.04? Or should I push for Fedora for Gnome love?

[NormanFLinux]

Actually there are FOUR UIs: for computers that can't run Unity 3D, Unity 2D can be installed from the PPA so you are not missing out on Ubuntu's new UI!

[wolfen69]

Nice overview.

Umm, you can do a command line install and do whatever you want. Just because ubuntu doesn't ship with gnome 3 doesn't mean you can't run it. ):P

I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of "what about gnome 3?" type threads. As if ubuntu doesn't have the ability to run G3. Pffffft.

please tell the time wen it will be released??

[yetiman64]

dont anyone here know the time?? if yes, please tell me..i am eagerly waiting for natty for the past 2 months

Sorry, don't know the exact time of release, going by past releases it could be another 8-10 hours yet. The release usually pops up at 2-4 am the day after advertised here (my local time- I would expect to see it early on the 29th April, being in Australia).

As soon as iso images are posted to a server, someone usually posts the news in a thread like this one. Keep an eye out here.


I've uploaded over 300 copies of 10.10 ):P

Excellent work there wolfen69 :)

How is an updated Beta 2 any different from the final release?

[nothingspecial]

It's not

[An Sanct]

I would say it is the same ...

- BUT -

The official release comes in a nice ISO package :) and I personally am waiting for that, so I can put it on a Live CD/USB, my VM etc ....

[johnconnor]

http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ is behaving weirdly, sometimes reading 'beta 2', sometimes not… It’s coming!!!

[MARP1961]

No it's not,I've just checked. Honestly, why don't we all go and do something else for a few hours? Perhaps we should ponder on the future prospects for those with older desktop pcs that have no 3D graphics. I thought Gnome 3 sounded an interesting alternative; but tried it on Virtual Box only to be nagged again about my pc lacking 3d capabilities. Will 10.04 be the last Ubuntu I can run?

i downloaded beta 1 and it did not have unity !! it was running gnome.

[MastCrasher]

What's this?

ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/.pool

[NormanFLinux]

It depends on your graphics card. If your graphics card does not have 3D acceleration, Ubuntu will default to the GNOME Classic Desktop.

If the card is present, you will be booted into Unity.

If you don't have the appropriate graphics card; don't fear - Unity 2D is available from the PPA.

Install program tries to detect if your graphic card supports 3D rendering that is required by Unity. If it does not detect such graphic it installs "Gnome classic" by default. In this way if you would like to have Unity 2D (because you can't have Unity 3D) then you can install Unity 2D from PPA, for example: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntu-unity-2d-using-ppa-in-ubuntu-11-0410-10.html

ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso (Y) strange mirror tho

[abcuser]

Dunno why ubuntu say 32 bit is the right choice for most computers, just not true anymore
If you don't know which version you should install 32-bit or 64-bit then you just install 32-bit and it will work.

I still think a lot if not most of the computers are still using 32-bit systems. Sure if you are having a new computer you are having 64-bit computer, but I have Ubuntu on some 10-years old computer and running without a problem.

If you are technical enough and know that you computer is 64-bit you are safe to install 64-bit. There is no need for non-geeks to download 64-bit and install on old hardware and having problems.

32 runs on every machine, 64 doesn't ... Its for the people, that are not sure (don't know), to make sure the OS runs.

IMHO, if they don't know, if their machine is 32 or 64bit, it doesn't matter to them what the OS is, it matters that it runs.

[VOT Productions]

aruntejay, if you got 3.2GB of RAM or more, go for 64bit.
If not, 32bit.

If you aren't sure, go for 32bit.

Contrary to popular belief, AMD64 does NOT mean AMD only. It means 64bit for Intel AND AMD.

You can run 64bit version if you have less than 2GB of RAM. But if you have more than 3.2GB of RAM 32bit system won't see the rest of your memory.

Apart from that 64bit is somewhat faster but I doubt there are many applications that take full advantage of 64bit.

Oh, if this is strictly Kernel related then it's a regression bug and needs to be reported. My suggestion is to find another distribution Live CD with the same or newer version of Kernel. That way you will be able to see if it's Kernel issue or Ubuntu issue.

If it's Ubuntu issue you can report it but it's never a good idea to upgrade to newest version when it's released.

Yes it does, but I have a small bandwidth cap. If my previous ISP was reliable, then I would have a little more data to transfer each month. I'm seeding Xubuntu 64 and will do the same for the i386. I'm supporting XFCE, this time, for those treading water with legacy hardware.

How?

[aaaantoine]

Working on seeding ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64 and -i386. My goal is to have a ratio of 10 overall.

My upload speed is higher than I thought it would be -- maybe because it's my desktop rather than my laptop. I'm more disappointed about my download speed, it's not going much higher than 100 KiB/s.
