I've been running the beta of mythbuntu 10.04 on my tv for a few weeks, 
it seems ok.
Only issue I had is it seems to be missing tty1-6, they seem not to be 
getting started.


clean install. But then that was a beta.
boot speed seems nice and fast.

My Ubuntu server seems to be working fine after the upgrade.  Also, my 
Ubuntu desktop in my kitchen.  However, I now find that my Wordpress 
2.9.2 blog postings have disappeared.

any suggestions about how to fix this greatly appreciated.  Can't find 
an answer with a Google search.

i don't mess with wordpress much, but lucid ships php 5.3 by default,
and a lot of php webapps (and plugins for those) haven't bee
thoroughly vetted to run smoothly on php 5.3.

try googling for wordpress 5.3 issues, and maybe throw in the names of
any plugins you have installed.

i know at work we'll be avoiding lucid until we start doing more
Drupal 7 work, because while drupal 6 core is 99% ok with php 5.3,
contributed modules are a lucky dip.

another option is to pin you php5-* packages to a karmic repository.

cheers

I thought it might be something like that.

I'll try that.

Yes.  Good idea.  I was thinking that on my own Apache box it wouldn't 
matter a lot.  Mostly used for experimental stuff anyway.  Drupal 7 
seems to be a bit of a mess just now but better than it was a few 
months ago.  Hopefully Wordpress 3 might be usable when it is released 
:)

Might consider that as well.

I use both.  Went to the Drupal conference in Paris last year.   I'll 
try any PHP web app on my own Apache box just to see what it's like to 
use.  Was going to try Nuxeo - http://www.nuxeo.com/en - because the 
BBC use it for their site but not had a chance yet.

I got into Wordpress after the 2.8.3 release.  Seems to be better just 
lately. Shame the PHP stuff in Lurid Lynx 10.04 isn't quite there just 
yet.  Maybe an update in a few weeks for Ubuntu.

Assuming you have a 700MB+ USB stick, of course, but those seem to be fairly
common these days.

HTH, HAND, etc.
