Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin Alpha 1

Here is my first recording of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin Alpha 1. As you can see, there aren't many differences from 11.10 yet, but it does come with a lot of updated packages and some default apps were removed.

Expect to see more recordings from me in the coming months as I watch Precise's development!

Apparently the Software Center and Update Manager issues were fixed in a somewhat-recent apt-daemon update.

USC not working for me also. Update Manager sometime works. It is a usual phenominon of developement cycle. I use synaptic for the time being.

@keralabrother Glad to know I'm not the only one. sudo apt-get in a terminal is what I'm using in the meantime.

Also, I have just added links to the relevant Launchpad bugs in the video description; please take a look and mark yourself as affected if you're experiencing the same symptoms to help attract the devs' attention. Thanks!
