When will 13.04 be launched?

[georgelappies]

Eagerly awaiting the official release :)

[mörgæs]

Please wait a good couple of days after release. There's no need to make the load on the servers even bigger.

;), mmm, no. I want it as soon as it is released :)

And cdimage.ubuntu.com still lists yesterday's image as 'current'. The release date is the 24'th right?

Sometime on the 25th - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule

No - we don't know when, I'm surprised that after 7 years on the forum you've not noticed the biannual 'when's it being released' threads :p

[Irihapeti]

I remember when we used to see the "Who's going to be seeding?" threads just before release day. I haven't seen one of those for a long time.

Aah, it's only tomorrow then. Damn for some reason I was thinking today was the day. Even after 14 releases I still get exited as a new one aproaches yes :)

[mörgæs]

The torrent of course helps on the initial download, but still there is a peak load on the package servers when people are updating and adding new stuff.

[Elfy]

Quite honestly Canonical should have the infrastructure available to deal with as many downloads as is necessary ;)

Would apt-p2p (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/en/man8/apt-p2p.8.html) help with that? It's not that hard to set up, though it does require that sources.list be edited a little.

If you're that antsy :P install the latest beta a week or so before the official release date and keep updating. My understanding is that an updated development install is identical to the official release. 13.04 has been pretty smooth for me from the get-go. Perhaps run bleachbit if you're concerned about obsolete packages.

Its out sometime tomorrow so the OP can't install it a week before release.

I suggest waiting; let other users discover if there are any problems first; and lets not overload the servers.

[TeamRocket1233c]

It's out tomorrow, lol, however I'm sticking with Quantal a little bit longer.

[grahammechanical]

If we cannot wait a couple of days, then we should not moan about the slowness of the download rate. But we will.

[mreq]

I can't wait for the final version too. The 13.04 beta fixed a lot of notebook issues for me, but I want a clean install of the final :lolflag:

[andrew.46]

Seems pretty solid in my VM, looking forward to the eventual 'official' release.

[mips]

If you can't wait you can download the daily build which is from yesterday. I doubt much if anything will change between it and the final release tomorrow.

True, but the rc-install-ghost will still linger, and you'll blame it (and through it, your own impatience) if something bugs out. Such is the terror of the rc-install-ghost. The alpha- and beta-install-ghosts are nice friends to you by comparison; they WILL draw a permanent-marker-moustache on you while you sleep, but you know it and you love them for it. The rc-install-ghost, however, is when you wake up with a permanent-marker-moustache... in an empty apartment... alone... maybe...

[Lampmeister]

Any chance it will come available at midnight? If so, I'm staying up!

You are waiting up for the fireworks?

[Irihapeti]

I'm sure it will be available at midnight. Midnight in which part of the world, though, remains to be seen. :)

You're right. Hehehe

It's almost lunchtime in your country and it's not yet midnight in my home country. :)

[MadmanRB]

With a shorter support lifespan I wont bother with 13.04.
There are rumors that unity 7 will be backported to 12.04 so lets hope there is truth in those rumors.

[craig10x]

True 13.04 has a shorter support span...however, 13.04 practically leaves 12.04 in the dust in terms of speed, stability, and various improvements...it's that good...and worth even the shorter support cycle...
It also "blows away" 12.10 as well :)

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

^ especially in xubuntu, 12.04 was a letdown for xubuntu imo, 12.10 made me happy and 13.04 is good, but it has a couple out of the box issues
Printers are no longer auto installed/configured, you have to do it manually, that was a cool feature that seems to now work anymore :(
the stock 3.8.0-19-generic has issues with nvidia (fails to boot from time to time, and lacks HDMI audio) the mainline kernel is good, as long as you can get the -19 to boot so you can install the mainline kernel [mainline kernel update checker/installer] (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2137026)

We'll have to wait and see the inevitable threads demanding Canonical extend support for raring.

It also "blows away" 12.10 as well :) It's *that* faster? On every install of Ubuntu, I get bugs for a while. Disabling the error report make things look a little better (When the error report randomly pop at you when there is an error that the user does not experience..).

[Irihapeti]

But before that, there will be the inevitable "Raring is the WORST RELEASE EVER!!!" threads...

And the "10/20/whatever Things to Do After Installing Ubuntu 13.04" ...

[MadmanRB]

Well most are saying raring is going to be good, so extending support for it I casn see happening.
Really it took them longer on Raring so why spend all that time making it stable just to phase it out?
save the shorter lifespan for 13.10

[craig10x]

Yeah, actually they should have at least made the support 12 months even...that would be much better...

[mattfrog]

It looks like Raring is now available? http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/

[MadmanRB]

Have fun kids

I will let this one slide by.

I am more interested in Mageia 3 TBH

[howefield]

The release will be announced all over the forums when it is officially available, eg in here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=122

[aykoola]

a big hello from raring world!!

[MadmanRB]

Wasn't it OpenSUSE or something just the other day, TBH?


Well Mageia is another distro I am keeping my eye on.
Its a promising young distro and I am willing to see if it will finally take flight with 3

[sffvba[e0rt]

Are we there yet?!

[Warren Hill]

Just read my email -- Yes

But please don't everybody rush --It will still be there tomorrow and for some time to come.

But if you must use Torrents

[georgelappies]

Yeay, got it :)

[ibjsb4]

Does it still have Gnome-Classic?

[Warren Hill]

Does it still have Gnome-Classic?

Yes it does. At least Tuesdays daily build did -- so I would be very surprised if it's not in the final version.


sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

[GameX2]

I'm really tempted to do an upgrade after a backup (Never tried an upgrade, I would see), but the 9 months support period is way too short. :(
Everybody are saying it's way faster than 12.04, however. :/

[lulled]

It will still be there tomorrow and for some time to come.
But not too long :P
