Re: [ubuntu-in] Two questions about 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
Hi Friends, Thanks for the many replies on Ubuntu 10.04 , they were mostly lucid ;-) Seems like its been a good ride so far, no major issues, which is really good. Am guessing as soon as i can get hold of a copy. Which brings me to the second question (below) My 9.10 occupies about 12 Gig of space (and lots is available) /dev/sda7 22G 12G 8.3G 59% / I know from experience from 9.10 that is overloaded with multiple programmes for everything. (since i installed the Ultimate Version) the good thing was everything worked out of the box (specially media codecs). The disadvantage obviously too many things meaning a lot more updates. Am not convinced that the default Ubuntu available for download is a good option - it requires too much tweaking and setting up to many things - esp if one has to do it in more that 1 machine. ( i will end up upgrading Ubuntu on 6 machines all in different physical locations none of who have any decent internet) So the requirement is clear - find a distro that is basically packed full of stuff and then do the needful systematically on the individual machines. Jobs included in the individual machines are 1. Localizing fonts (copy fonts to a /home/foouser/.fonts directory 2. Setting up local language keyboard and multiple language options 3. Setting up 2 or 3 different internet access methods (making sure they work - like the Network Manager in 9.10 works for some and does not for others) some of which need a wvdial.conf script 4. Setting up Google earth / skype ?? 6. Setting up offline dictionaries (and artha) 7. Installing programmes that Ubuntu has dropped (gimp, gthumb, scribus etc) and many others that never ever come by default (marble, nut-nutrition, and some more that i cannot remember right now 8. Setting up virtual box 9. There are a whole lot of system tweaks - setting up autoback up in openoffice (for example) eyc I guess you get the picture , so each machine takes a fair bit of time and since this is voluntary work (i enjoy seeing the latest and the bestest running and then see people get happy to have a new version to enjoy) but it is still a pain in the your know where, jst sitting around waiting for each machine to. Am thinking this time i will just do a system upgrade and then check for broken packages and then redo those. So am waiting to get my hands on the latest full 7-8 DVD repos. (see question below) and since its LTS i guess it will be stable for some time.

I have a suggestion, instead of installing Ubuntu Ultimate, just install a live Ubuntu and do all the tweaking, installing stuff, and so on... Once you are done, install an app called remastersys and create a remaster CD, which basically creates your system clone, there are some more options too...

and related to this - is it worth waiting a month before installing 10.04 - seems like there is always stuff that works better after a month of corrections ** Hi ! Even if you wait for a month and download the CD then, it will be the same installation image as the one that was released on 29th April. The original CDs are never respun to apply upgrades. Whatever goes through the SRU[1] queue till the time you install it, will be provided as an update via the update-manager along with any security fixes that come through. So either way, you will have to download and install the updates post-installation as and when they arrive irrespective of whether you install right away or wait a while. Regards, Nandan P.S. Since 10.04 is an LTS expect 10.04.1 point release sometime in June/July. This WILL be a respun image including all the updates provided until that time.

Using it on the laptop since Beta2. Beautiful boot time. Minor things which make the experience very pleasurable. Only had to hack to get PAM to use the fingerprint reader. On the desktop, everything out of the box, quite like past two releases. Strange thing is that I installed the ubuntustudio themes, fonts, walls, etc in Karmic, and audio editor audacity, and Pitivi video editor comes default with 10.04. GIMP was retained. Due to this(I think), 10.04 thinks itself to be Ubuntu Studio on the desktop, and shows corresponding splash during boot and shutdown. :? :) Regards, Easwar Registered Linux user #442065 -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

In fact, I was using it from the RC days. The major difference I have seen so far in Ubuntu is : - much better support for hardware Eg., my iPhone is detected much more gracefully out of the box - generally faster performance : but I don't have any metric for this. I just remember the startup times of app like FF and Thunderbird and gnome-console from 9.10 and 9.04 days. And of course, the startup and shutdowns are much faster too. So basically, I would advise you to start using 10.04 asap.
