Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 Test

http://www.leenukes.co.uk/

Just released Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 Preview.

I think some of the reasons I had issues in this test was down to me to be honest, the virtual machine I was trying it in I'd only allocated a 1GB hard drive for due to me recently testing mini distros like Linpus.

Looks quite good though for such an early release, very stable, I half expected it not to boot.

The music is:

Suite De Loudeac
artist: Celtic Fiddle Festival
album: Celtic Fiddle Festival
length: 6:13
label: Green Linnet
genre: World

how is 9.04 with 3d becasue 8.10 at least in my case sucks at it

How do you mean 3D? Also, it might not be Ubuntu to blame but your GFX card drivers. I've only bought Nvidia recently due to how tough it was/is setting up ATI cards in Linux as they never used to make good drivers. Then, I bought Nvidia, and people say ATI are now better. I can't win.

so, how has this beta build been working for you so far? I am still at ver. 8.10, but not sure if I want to trust the beta for fear of graphic driver incompatibilities.

I am sure hoping Ubuntu finally addresses the crappy system sounds/annoying system beeps. They seem to have the visuals refined somewhat.

I've not yet installed the full Beta. This video is based on the Alpha release. I've downloaded the nightly build and I intend to install it onto my EeePC at some point but I've just not gotten around to it yet.

The full version is released on the 23rd of April so you might as well wait then. Also, the GFX driver should be built against your kernel version so its likely to work just fine.

You should have recorded this in full screen mode.

Yeah that would have made more sense I guess.

the power of ubuntu is the simple and easy interface!Why orange colour?Because is truly interesting,not loaded eyes and is one of the most peaceful colors...The Ubuntu's idea is to integrate the peace in this OS :)
