Release Time

[sandyd]

About at what time is Ubuntu released?

[PaulW2U]

A question that will be asked again and again tomorrow.

No-one knows but may be not until it's ready?

[Merk42]

At some point during the 48hours with which at least one part of the planet is in April 26, 2012.

[sandyd]

I guess I have to stay up in order to add the torrent and seed mightily.

[Linuxratty]

At some point during the 48hours with which at least one part of the planet is in April 26, 2012.

To the best of my recollection,this is indeed how it works..So sometime tomorrow somewhere you will find it ready to go.
:D

[forrestcupp]

3:00am in some random, unannounced time zone.

[Frogs Hair]

I remember a developer writing on this forum to check here . http://release-blog.ubuntu.com/ The announcement was very late on this blog for the last two releases .

[saegeoff]

Can anyone tell me the exact time 12.04 will launch? I can't find the time, only 4/26/2012. I would like to stay up to download 12.04 if it launches at midnight.

Thanks,
saegeoff

But midnight where?

It'll be released when it's ready.

[saegeoff]

Midnight Eastern Time. It is ready... I was just curious of the launch time.

[terabyte1]

Dang! I live in the UK that's eight hours from your Eastern Seaboard time - like its coming up to 12.55am in the UK just now, but I guess along the Eastern seboard its around 4.55pm on 25.04.2012 where you guys are. I guess I got another eight hours to wait - better go to bed and sleep the hours away with some kentucky Fried Chicken an some mud critters...:popcorn::lolflag::guitar: So-Long fellas!

[clichename1337]

I'm not sure how the daily build works, but I think if nothing goes wrong and everything works out, the current daily build will be the final build.

So, if you're impatient and want to do a bit of a gamble, you can download the current ISO from:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

Personally, I'm going to wait it out. :P

It's not 8 hours, it's a 5 hour time difference.

[terranz]

This must affect more people than me

What time zone is the Ubuntu release date centred in?

Here in New Zealand it's been the 26th of April for 14 and a half hours and I'm still waiting for Ubuntu 12.04

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

with the last LTS it was late at night for me iirc but they had to respin the image for a grub fix
i am in GMT -4/-5 (aka eastern standard time in the us)

i think it is meant to be GMT 0 but not sure on that

[Lemuriano]

That´s a good one but it have to be GMT or very close.

[techsupport]

That´s a good one but it have to be GMT or very close.

I'm running 12.04 LTS Beta 2 and I just did an update/upgrade and still nothing yet.

It is going get busy here in the help forums tomorrow.

[sammiev]

Likely the day after. Too many people trying to update or download will slow things down a lot.

It'll probably be some time tomorrow morning for us. One thing to keep in mind is that it can sometimes take a while for everything to propagate to all the servers around the world.

[sandyd]

Repos updated to 12.04-stable. ISOs should be building now I guess..

[JaceAlvejetti]

its 12:12 Eastern so where is it?

[wbosher]

I'm in New Zealand, it's been the 26th for 16 hours already here. ;)

[techsupport]

I'm in New Zealand, it's been the 26th for 16 hours already here. ;)

They are probably having to respin it due to some Grub issue.

[saegeoff]

its 12:12 Eastern so where is it?

I wrote my sentence earlier confusing. I was saying Eastern to the previous post/question. I am in eastern. I was also saying that it is done, they may have to tweak only a few minor things. I was just asking if anyone knew a TIME for when it was launching...

[jadtech]

it up at least if you are upgrading I just got the upgrade and installed

[benny232391212]

They are probably having to respin it due to some Grub issue.

Did the issue solved yet?

[tomarcom]

So has anybody figured out when it will be released EST?

[sj67]

Ubuntu Download page still shows 11.10 as latest release!:(
Eager on the trigger, no target!!

[benny232391212]

So has anybody figured out when it will be released EST?

Usually should be EST time ... (this is not the 1st time of software release!)

maybe something happened....(just maybe)

[mvineetmenon]

you can upgrade to 12.04...

I have already started upgrading.... :D

[terranz]

So I'll have to download it after work then... Or I can see if they'll notice a 700mb download

[nothingspecial]

Thread moved to The Community Cafe.

[Rhaedas]

Must be a propagation issue. Still showing the beta 2 for me when I force the Update Manager. Maybe later this morning...I'll have more time to fix any issues then anyway.

[nothingspecial]

Merged.

[cariboo]

[tomarcom]

I'm running 10.10 so I can not run the upgrade. They cut off updates a couple of days ago. It's BS cutting off the updates prior to releasing 12.04!

[Voluntaryist]

I'm so excited, can't wait for update, watching every moment :popcorn:

[rajhanschinmay]

I am from India.
I am still not seeing the upgrade option.

On their official site www.ubuntu.com, it is sill showing beta versions only.

Can u send me server where it is released already/


I think Ubuntu has its native in UK. So it should be released from there at around 11am or so as per UK local time.
Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you.

[nidhindas33]

anybody know the exact time of release....???

[shubham1]

i dont know the exact time but as per i know the website will be very soon updated like the one done in onericic oclet release data

[nothingspecial]

merged

[Ash_AP]

Also pretty excited!

My current setup is pretty messed up, so, I'm waiting for the final version's ISO to become available to kick off a new one. Glad this is an LTS release.

[mvineetmenon]

release is on 12:04 UTC today 26th April....:guitar:

[Baldrick_NZ]

If it's going to make the 26th here, it's still got... 2hrs 43mins left. ;-)

[shubham1]

when i posted my this message there wasn't single post and when i refreshed the page 5 pages have i come to wrong post i thought what a coincidence all were replying at the same time

[rajhanschinmay]

As I see on this page,
http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

Ubuntu 12.04 server 32 and 64 bit are released.
Desktop 64 bit is released.
Alternate 32 and 64 bit are released.

Only Ubuntu Desktop 32 bit is pending.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you.

[ ] ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso 23-Apr-2012 12:27 701M Desktop CD for PC (Intel x86) computers (standard download)

I do not know why it is showing date as 23rd April 2012.

For others it is showing 26th April date properly.


I think 1 Hr more for the main 32 bit Desktop edition.
It will come at 12.04pm as per UK time.
It is 11.04am now.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

[Bandit]

I should start backing everything up I guess. hehe

EDIT:

Seeding the garden with Ubuntu shroons! Woot! :D

Now I have something productive to do this weekend..

[finn]

I think we've been through this enough times that it would be perfectly obvious there needs to be an ubuntu developed program that sets off fireworks on the screen when the release happens.

It shows the 26th for me - I'm downloading the torrent right now.

[Edit: the torrent file shows the 26th - the iso file shows the 23rd. I'm probably downloading something not quite final.]

I don't know why I'm so excited - I've been running the thing for months :KS

[melwin.a3]

dude.its out now

[hakermania]

dude.its out now

Nope, not yet.

[gelie]

It is definitely out - I am downloading it now from http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

Local mirrors in South Africa does not have the new version yet - still beta 2.

[shizz]

12.04 GMT is it out? :D

[nothingspecial]

It's not officially out yet.

[shizz]

Ahh was really hoping they'd release it at 12.04pm

[sgage]

Well, I downloaded the torrent from http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/, and it turns out it's the iso dated 4/23. What's up with that? The torrent file itself was dated 4/26. Do I have the final release or what?

Incidentally, the Ubuntu Home Page now says:

Testing, testing.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is in final beta now.
Download it today

Just because a torrent file was created on the 26th doesn't mean the file it downloads was created on the 26th. You downloaded an old snapshot.

[c2tarun]

Hi friends,

At what time Ubuntu 12.04 will release? It was scheduled to release today(16th April 2012) right?

[nothingspecial]

merged

[sgage]

Just because a torrent file was created on the 26th doesn't mean the file it downloads was created on the 26th. You downloaded an old snapshot.

Obviously the torrent file date does not necessarily match the date of the file it references.

I guess what I want to know is, why is there an old snapshot in the 'release' directory?

Personally, I have been running Precise for months, and am fully updated - essentially running the release version. The only reason I'm "worried" (not) about this is because I'd like to help seed the torrent.

BTW, there have only been two very minor package updates since the 23rd.

[sandyd]

Though the main ubuntu.com page has not been updated, Precise is here (unofficially at least)

http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

Download via torrents to avoid hitting the servers.

[nothingspecial]

It has not been released. The machine that runs the torrent tracker is still syncing everything apparently.

[sgage]

The i386 iso in that directory is dated 4/23. The torrent file is dated 4/26, but pulls in the 4/23 iso.

Merged because it hasn't been released.

sorry :) I meant 26th April

(or I just travelled from there) ;)

[kurt18947]

12:04 UTC=8:04 EDT. Another 15 minutes or so? I've been using it since A2 and updated yesterday. I'll bet there aren't many changes.

[alphacrucis2]

I'm running 12.04 LTS Beta 2 and I just did an update/upgrade and still nothing yet.


Then you already have the release version.

[c2tarun]

its released :)

[Squonk07]

Now it's released. And the site is predictably swamped, which is interesting because it reveals that they apparently use Drupal.

[sgage]

The home page shows it as being released now, but the download link results in Drupal error message.

It's coming up on 8:04 here, which is 12.04 UTC... :KS

[Chelidze]

finely it is here do they provide torrent links for 12.04

[shizz]

arrrrrrrrrgh I need to download it nowwwwww

[nothingspecial]

Now it's released. Nope.

[shizz]

Nope.

According to the Ubuntu website it is. Although It's not released in the sense that no one can download it argh

[alexfish]

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-12-04-LTS-Officially-Released-266543.shtml

MM! could this be true

[Erik1984]

I got the torrents from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads but Ktorrent reports it 'can't connect to a tracker'.

[c2tarun]

Nope.

Do you have any idea in what time they will release Torrent for latest ISO?

[Eddie Wilson]

Nope.

It is released now.

[nidhindas33]

yeah it is available to download from the ubuntu website...

the correct time is 05.25 IST...
lolllll..............

[gagansinghjarry]

There's always torrent :)

[nothingspecial]

It is not released until it is announced on the mailing list and in #ubuntu-release-party

They update the home page pre-release

[Squonk07]

Good point. I'm just interested in getting the torrents so I can help ease up some of the bandwidth crunch--I'm sitting on a perfectly good Precise install I've been updating since Beta 2 and I'm not interested in reinstalling.

[nothingspecial]

It is now

[zeljkojagust]

Yeah... and when you click on download you get Drupal warning that site is overloaded :)
Suppose we will have to wait a bit before downloading the damn thing.

[nothingspecial]

It is now

Now I can get some lunch :)

[Chelidze]

Is this release build
http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

????

can some one conform

[Erik1984]

The trackers are still dead... I want to start seeding Precise (first leeching of course :D).

[msirius]

Luckily managed to download it before the downtime.

[Squonk07]

I followed the Alternative Downloads link at the bottom of the download page and the torrents seem to be downloading--I'm hoping the links are to the release proper and not an earlier version.

[c2tarun]

Can you please update us as soon as it is announced on the mailing list?

[sgage]

Same here - at least the iso file size is different from the earlier version in releases.ubuntu.com. Won't be able to see the date/time stamp until the torrent download is done. Pretty slow right now, but it'll probably pick up as more and more seeds join the torrent-party.

[nothingspecial]

Can you please update us as soon as it is announced on the mailing list?

I already did :D

[c2tarun]

I already did :D

Edit:

I failed to notice that there is already a thread about this...

[arpanaut]

LOL a new personal record...
It took all of 8 min. to get the whole ISO with torrent.

[kurt18947]

For those on the U.S. east coast, It looks like M.I.T.'s mirror might have the release version. Time stamp was today at 08:27 or something like that.
