Exact time for release of 8.10?

[itisbasi]

What is the exact time (in GMT), when 8.10 will become available on the ubuntu servers?

[jimmy the saint]

14 seconds after 14 seconds before the instant it is successfully loaded.

[macogw]

Unknown. It's released at some point while it is 30 Oct in at least one timezone on the planet. That's all we know. It all depends how long it takes to roll the ISOs and get everything synced between the mirrors.

[Paqman]

To be honest, I would avoid the Ubuntu download servers on release day, they'll be painfully slow.

Instead, get the official .torrent file off the full download page and torrent 8.10. It'll be a lot, lot faster, with the added bonus that the torrent client will MD5 check the download as it goes. Plus you'll save Canonical bandwidth costs so they can spend the money on paying the devs!

[Milchdrinker]

Hm... take a look: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Downloads

[perlluver]

Be patient fellows, good things come to those who wait. Usually the ISO is released around 20:00 UTC In Pennsylvania, America. Since it is only the 29th here, I wouldn't expect it soon.

[jaborto]

huh? UTC is universal and is never more than 0.9 secs from GMT, which is now about 00:45AM, give or take

[Ntweat]

m done waiting..... m going to bed.....

[CostaRica]

I was so excited at this time 1 year ago...until I fell asleep waiting...

[k66473]

humm, 20:00 UTC. 12 hours more ..

[sudo_chop]

humm, 20:00 UTC. 12 hours more ..

Uhh, dont you mean like... 19 hours? its only 0116 UTC right now

[jpeddicord]

You all will probably be waiting a while. It's released when it's ready and uploaded, not at a specific time of day. I remember Hardy wasn't published till the afternoon of the release date.

The afternoon in what part of the world though? It might be the 31st here by the time it comes out... That would be lame (for me).

It was afternoon UTC, but noonish where I'm at (EDT).

[snova]

It was afternoon UTC, but noonish where I'm at (EDT).

Good. About when I'm up. :)

[drakeman007]

Take it easy guys, omg i dont want to know about the download speeds! lol, like 2.4kb/s lol!!!

[jpeddicord]

Take it easy guys, omg i dont want to know about the download speeds! lol, like 2.4kb/s lol!!!

That's why you use BitTorrent. :)

[rags01]

When you list your time please refer to which time zone you are in so I can convert it to my own time-zone. :)

[benign]

I don't know when it's being released, but I'm eastern standard. I downloaded a copy of the release candidate, and it hasn't been updated yet. I assume the now RC that is available to download is going to be 8.10 unless many bugs have been reported.

[rags01]

So, If I install the current release candidate and even if the official release is different I can still update the RC through Software Update?

[morbid_bean]

Here I sit and waiting for it to release but the page shows the only 1 day left thing...is there a certain time?

[Laibcoms]

I'm waiting myself. It's 1:04pm ACT (Asean Common Time) as I write this :p

We're all excited eh? ^_^

[CloudFX]

It's released on October 30th, however timezones do make a difference. At the time of this posting, it's already the 30th UTC time, but the site will not be upgraded until work starts :). However, you will most likely receive connection errors to the server, as the entire world will be upgrading. Better off upgrading a couple days before, or a few after official release.

[peterhob]

Better off upgrading a couple days before, ...

Cheers mate, can I borrow your time machine then :-D

But seriously, I think most of us are anxiously waiting for its release.

[Kingsid3]

Where is it? Its the 30th today so it should be out to download, but its not!

[hellion0]

True, they said on the 30th. They just didn't say when on the 30th. Sometimes it takes a couple of extra hours for them to get all their ducks in a row.

I suggest patience.

[rakris]

Also where on earth are you from? This really matters :P

[peterhob]

That's because you and I are in different time zones. As soon as the fine people from start working, the website will be updated.

[efervesan]

:popcorn: yes the wait is killing me. I live in TURKEY.

[cristo-father]

when 8.04 was released this didn't happen...

[michaeldadmum]

I live in UTC+8, it is 16:51 in local time now. There is still no 8.10 final on the site. Does anyone think it will be released tomorrow?

[lisati]

I'll go with the timezones idea.

It's the 30th today where I am, and most of the day it has been the 29th in the USA.......

[cristo-father]

lol...it is 9 gmt that means that it is the 30th in the states.

[bss]

I would suggest patience. Those guys are working on it (as they've been working for the last 6 months to get it ready). So don't push it.

For 8.04 they made an extra effort because this was a Long Term Support release. I'm not saying this is an excuse (well I'm not accusing them anything at all:D).

We should move the release date one day forward (for all of you inpatient guys) so it would be available "on time" (which it will also be today). A little joke. I know you all are very excited about new release (I am too) and that's great for ubuntu and linux.

soo... Don't worry, the release is coming...

Peace!

[thestig_992]

yeah but its still about 5 in the morning, give them a break. definitely up in under 12 hours is my guess

[BlackDesign]

30th of october could also be 30 october at 23:59:59 :P

I'll come, I'm sure :)

[itisbasi]

Am still waiting for the final release...

[efervesan]

According to my calculations The release will be in 4 hrs!!!!

[mkkohls]

I have to agree darn this whole waiting thing and having other things to do today.

[combuster]

Cmon guys we are all edgy (lol edgy) about this but it will come... U smokers lite up a cigar and u non smokers have u gum and look above @ the sky, enjoy a few moments... ;-)

[bumanie]

There never is an exact time, but it is available now according to the canonical site.

[combuster]

Where did u saw an anouncement? :D Have a link?

[cristo-father]

link?

[combuster]

url that is, in serbia we call it a link :D

[dmizer]

Merged these, and sent them to the Cafe. This is not a "General help" topic.

[random turnip]

Dude, I think he know's what a link his, cristo-father was simply asking for one XD.

Go on the Ubuntu home page (http://www.ubuntu.com/) and you can download the Realease Candidate.

[combuster]

I'm a n00b, i'm edgy a little bit, give me a break :D Just kiddin, im in a mood today cause its release date so just lol-ing...

[alwez_loner]

It seems to still coming soon... Though i would really advice people to be patient... That's why i'm going to upgrade on Sunday.

[Crash 0verride]

Well it is now 5:38 AM here in GMT -5 and I thought it would be out by now.

[rakris]

Havent you guys been updating packages in update manager?

Are u guys going to do a fresh-install. My update manager lists only 14 packages to update:P

[jhackett]

Well it is now 5:38 AM here in GMT -5 and I thought it would be out by now.

yeah, this GMT-5 sucks when we're waiting for a download that happens elsewhere in the world? .. ....but imagine the waiters in Guam (it's almost 8pm there already!) :/

[Crash 0verride]

I am running Windows and I am doing a fresh install because It causes less problems in the long run.

My brother is going to update his computer via manager then I will spend a couple of hours fixing it.

I need the ISOs!

Yeah, Thought it would be out by now since there GMT I think I guess they are working on getting it sync'ed throughout the mirrors

[rakris]

I updated from edgy to hardy...Now from hardy to intrepid.

No major problems so far.

[Crash 0verride]

It doesn't really cause problems as far as I can tell on the update its just I was using the release canditidate when hardy was going to be released and encountered problems.

[rakris]

Okie. Good luck with new installation :)

[Crash 0verride]

Hopping on IRC to see what is going on with the release

[Laibcoms]

I asked a psychic, she said it will be available after the whole planet turns October 30th :p


I'm not edgy anymore... I'm Hardy already!!!

gimme gimme gimme 8.10

[Tindytim]

Nope, whole plant is the 30th or later.

[EdThaSlayer]

I'm going...insane. :confused::confused:
I have been checking since this morning whether the new Kubuntu is out so I can download the torrent and have a very nice dream.A dream that will turn into the reality of running Kubuntu 8.10. :)

[Stu09]

It's 21:45 here in Oz and still no Intrepid :(
I just wanna get the torrent started!

[mybunche]

You mean 19:45 in Oz :)

[cumulus007]

12:22 in the Netherlands, GMT+1, so I still have hope :)

[Stu09]

You mean 19:45 in Oz :)
Hey you westies are just behind the times :P

[hoggson]

11:47 (AM) Here in UK and still no torrent/ISO :| Grrrr... been waiting since midnight :(

[Ntweat]

17:25 here in india m waiting since midnight here....

[danlea]

Well I'm GMT and my dual quad-core has arrived today and I want to install Intrepid!

[Ntweat]

i m in college an the whole campus is dependent on ME to download all the flavors of Intrepid and distribute..... i get a net speed of 12 kbps max...

so guys hurry up....

[fatality_uk]

It's gonna be around 3pm.

[fatality_uk]

i m in college an the whole campus is dependent on ME to download all the flavors of Intrepid and distribute on a speed of 12 kbps max...
so guys hurry up....

It will arive today. Relax, the World won't stop turning because you don't have Ibex installed before the sun sets, honest!!

[Ntweat]

ya i knw..... but m not used to these situations.... and the sun has already set here.... ;)

[V!><0N]

[Ntweat]

:lolflag::lolflag::lolflag: dude... i seriously dnt think that ibex will be released in next 15 mins... so... jst sleep on the plane and when u land then download and install it...

[V!><0N]

i guess ill just have to wait. its 813 where i am... michigan

[fatality_uk]

I have no hard evidence for 3pm GMT just experience :) Usually mid afternoon gmt

[dawbomb]

In South Africa, its 14:30, and I've been checking every hour or so since I woke up! Flip the wait is killing!

[Tom--d]

I can't wait for Kubuntu to see what KDE 4.1 is like :)

But really Im a gnome guy >.>

[dawbomb]

I think that gnome is a bit more refined than KDE.... Or maybe I just didn't install everything that needed to be installed.

Last time I installed Ubuntu, then added KDE, but this time I'll download both kubuntu and ubuntu, seeing as I have significantly more cap available this time round. 20gigs is alot more useful than 1 gig... Internet is expensive here :'(

[rudihawk]

In South Africa, its 14:30, and I've been checking every hour or so since I woke up! Flip the wait is killing!

Amen brother!

[Ntweat]

the wait is killing me so... i have decided to install stupid windows ... play a few silly games... shoot some ppl... and when ibex is out get rid of windows again... cheers

[criss_521]

[michaeldadmum]

The day is coming to the end locally. It is already 21:00 local (UTC+8). Far away in the east, it is over midnight now so Intrepid didn't arrive on time.

[Laibcoms]

It is 9:03pm ACT here.

ACT = Asean Common Time

[ch1c0dj]

The world is excited for intrepid ibex release time. its 9:12PM in manila.

[flakeparadigm]

The ISOs and Torrents are available at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/intrepid/desktop/!
Torrent away!

[MasterNetra]

Yeap its released!

[ac3buddy]

Dami rin pala tga Philippines here. Weee , Way to go Pinas


Intrepid is coming.And i cant wait to see the 9.04 release

the Jaunty Jackalope.


9:27pm

[Lostincyberspace]

Unknown. It's released at some point while it is 30 Oct in at least one timezone on the planet.

So they have 50 hrs to release it. 24 for the furthest time zone wast (UTC-12), 24 for the furthest time zone east(UTC+14, M†), and 2 for the 2 extra in between(UTC+1, UTC-1). I think there might be a -13 time zone too but wiki says there isn't so I will go with that.

[Dervheid]

Seems to be available at
http://ubuntu-releases.optus.net/intrepid/
in as much as it's not listed as "release candidate", but very SLOW.

[the8thstar]

I upgraded from Beta to RC about a week ago... now I'm just updating to the Final Version.... sweet.

[V!><0N]

yeah, its out. just not on ubuntus server. you have to get it from mit or like http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Ubuntu/8.10/ .
smart move by ubuntu, give it to 3rd party first. reduce bandwith overload. luckily, im downloading this at my school, and it has like unlimited bandwith . 54%!!:)

[aktiwers]

http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/

[fyo]

Grab it from TORRENT or a LOCAL FTP MIRROR.

I'm downloading at my full bandwidth (10mbps) from a local mirror, so get yours while it's hot!!!!

[andrewabc]

http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/

Still says release candidate for me.
If it does not for others, I guess that means the servers are still updating at different locations.

[alan_daniel]

Try a full refresh of the page. It changed for me, and it shows both the actual release and the release candidate. I'm getting the torrent right now, at decent speeds.

I did ctrl+shift+r and it still showed that. and I tried again when making this post and now the release candidate is gone! :)
Although it is still listing some RC iso

[gymtonic]

now :)

[Dragonbite]

If I understand it correctly, the ISOs have to propagate through the mirrors which takes time. So when all of the mirrors have it up-and-running then it's PARTY TIME!

[aeiah]

http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent

http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent


front page of ubuntu.com has changed as well. are people still not seeing the new downloads?

[Dragonbite]

It's here!

[wersdaluv]

Omg

[BigSilly]

Happily downloading it for the last 10 minutes! Not too sure just yet if I will upgrade, but really looking forward to trying it out. Did they fix the joystick/X server issue does anyone know? Apparently joysticks/pads weren't playing nicely with the new X.

[angelkiller]

Links work for me. I already have it downloaded. Waiting for the end of Biology so I can get a CD to burn it.

However, none of the torrent files work for me. uTorrent says that the file is an invalid torrent file. I tried the i386 and the alternate torrent files. Anyone else getting this issue?

[coderand]

Hurray!!! Already downloaded. This mirror worked best for me: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Ubuntu/8.10/ 756 KB/s. Thank you everyone at Canonical!

[night_fox]

BOOM boom boomboomboom boom boom BBBBBOOOOOOMMMMM HAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY OUT!!!!!!!

I will install it in 10 hours when the damn things downloaded because of my "20 meg" virgin broadband.

AARRRRGGGGHHHH I just plugged my laptop into my wireless router with a LAN cable to make it faster and it made firefox lose 2 hours of ubuntu!

Come on ubuntu hurry up I can't wait!

[michaeldadmum]

There is still nothing on ftp.hostrino.com
It works at about 10MiB/s, to download the whole CD only takes one minute.

Exact time for release of 8.10?
Yesterday. Solved):P

[michaeldadmum]

I tried to use torrent, but it had not started after 1 minute so I stopped it. (I was using Ktorrent)
