Yay! I'm on Hardy!

[vishzilla]

Upgraded today :guitar:
Quite good!!!!

[buried]

Good on ya, but it's only 7 days to release, one week, just wait :P

[funrider]

i am thinking of any descent reason to upgrade. anything broken from old setup?

[swoll1980]

Nows the time to upgrade. If you wait till next week you have to stand in the E-line waiting for bandwidth

The only thing I had to fix was virtualbox (because of the new kernel)+ I uninstalled my nvidia drivers before and reinstalled after

[vishzilla]

Nope, nothing broke. A perfect upgrade so far :crossingfingers:

[agim]

Huge fan of the new release. I like policy kit and pulse audio works better with my compaq than 7.10

[ShogunMaster06]

Yeah, I upgraded this past weekend on my main laptop and haven't had any problems.

Actually, I did have one problem with my Miro player. I had to uninstall, add the new Miro repo for Hardy and reinstall. Everything worked after that.

It's a very nice update. I also like to upgrade at least a couple weeks before the final release so that I don't have to fight to get the new release downloaded on release day. This works out really well.

[macogw]

There was breakage the last few days with the -16 kernel. I still don't have sound or wireless with that kernel. I don't recommend upgrading til that's fixed.

[billgoldberg]

Updating?

No thanks.

I'll wait for the final version, and the torrent should be fast so it should only take 45min to download.

[aktiwers]

45mins? I will get it in about 3mins :P

[DeliriousNor]

That's more like it! Where will the torrent be published?

I am dualbooting ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 and everything works great! I have yet to run into any problems. But I will definately download the final version and install as my only OS.

[intense.ego]

I'll probably get it a couple of weeks after release, so the devs can iron out any bugs. By the way, do xubuntu 8.04 and kubuntu 8.04 release on the same day?

[chris_x1]

i found that my asound.conf file wasnt working to use my sub when playing 2.0 stereo

[-gabe-noob-]

For some reason I get horrible download speeds for betas (only like 453/kbps)

where normally I get like 1mbps.(1mbps= 1000 kbps right?)

[fedex1993]

yeah i think hardy is actually still bloated but its way better than alpha 4 in my opioun. Also firefox 3 b5 has way to many bugs right now i right click quote and it on UF and it opens up my email thunderbird wtf?

[danbuter]

I've been using it since Beta came out. It's been nothing but awesome for me.

[bruce89]

By the way, do xubuntu 8.04 and kubuntu 8.04 release on the same day?

Yes.

[dugonline]

About upgrading to the Beta now as opposed to waiting for the full release . . . . . .


Will the Beta automatically update to the Full Release or will I have to download that later as well?

[danbuter]

It should update fine.

[Gargamella]

Updating?

No thanks.

I'll wait for the final version, and the torrent should be fast so it should only take 45min to download.

so stylish! ;D I'll do the same, and after all why should I install a beta right now? The release is almost here.

[macogw]

Not for me. I'm guessing you have some extension in your right click menu and are releasing the button at *just* the right time to accidentally click something that emails the page. Try holding down the button longer so you can see the menu come up.

Good luck with it! :)

I hope to be on it very soon too!- But I have a poor internet connection so it could take a while :(

[Ewingo401]

Yeah I upgraded yesterday as well and the only problem I've seen is that Firefox 3 beta is practically unusable, but after reverting back to firefox 2 I've had no problems, and actually seen improvements such as my sound.

[Dale61]

Been using Hardy since first weekend of April.

I'm on dial-up, so it took 100 hours to upgrade from Dapper.

Downloading updates as they come in, just to keep on top of things.

No major breakages to report, so I'm more than happy I was 100 hours patient.

[DrCoolSanta]

lol, you actually downloaded it with dial-up? Must be patient . . . I used to kill my earlier dial-up even with 16 MB. And I never actually downloaded the updates on any distro because every time I would, it would be some 800 MB.

I am one of those who are waiting, not so impatient.

Unusable in what way?
Do you mean personal preferences or is there a bug/problem with it?

I salute you oh dedicated one!

[FuturePilot]

Wow!!!! I just upgraded my old laptop to Hardy. It's incredible! Each new version gets better and better. This is the best one yet. There's still a few small things that are a little buggered, but I'm sure they'll be fixed soon. Otherwise it's amazing!!

[Calash]

I am going to upgrade my destop this weekend. My Server/Mythbuntu box has been on 8.04 for a couple of months now and has been quite happy.

[Mazza558]

Yes, Hardy is pretty good and should be a solid release. It's a shame about the extra steps needed for ndiswrapper, and the poor ATI drivers, but on the whole it's not bad at all.

It will be updated automatically :)
