Karmic Beta
To All, I just wanted to say that karmic looks great so far. Boots fast, looks great, and there's a big improvement in battery life. I know that you guys must have been busy with the replacement of HAL as well as everything else. Just wanted to congratulate you on a great beta. There are a few bugs, but that's to be expected and I am sure that they will be ironed out before release.

I posted it on launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/428570) but apparently no one has had a chance to look at it. Although not a big deal for desktop installs, this is a serious PITA for server environments, particularly for collocated or dedicated server pools where the admin doesn't have access to a console. If you're using 9.10, server, I suggest you use the work around described in the bug report. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Ah... nevermind.
