Maverick Meerkat is go!

masterluke · 10 Oct 2010 at 11:23

Final release now available. Was just released a few mins ago so its probably best to use the torrents.

Available here...

http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/

EDIT - Of course you can "apt-get upgrade" from the beta or "apt-get dist-upgrade" from other releases if u like, but I find a full install is usually better.

Cheers for heads up, downloading now

No torrent seeds as yet - if you're in a hurry, probably best to go for one of the N. American mirrors before they all start tumbling out of bed.

The Mad Rapper · 10 Oct 2010 at 12:20

I've already got the most up to date RC. What's different between that and the final?

ic1male · 10 Oct 2010 at 12:31

LOL, who'd've thought Linux would be so popular. I've got a 2-hour download.

EDIT: Oops, I never saw the torrent link. That must surely be better.

Could anyone please tell me their md5 hash for ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso?

There are approx 130mb of updates to bring the RC up to the release version... its just bug fixing though so no new features.

deadite66 · 10 Oct 2010 at 14:42

waiting for xbmc to update to meerkat before i dist upgrade.

ic1male · 10 Oct 2010 at 14:43

If I can get the Popcap games in Steam running through Crossover, I'm going to try and get my Nan on this. Mother is very happy with Ubuntu 10.04 so far.

ic1male · 10 Oct 2010 at 15:00

I'm stuck. I've tried to install Crossover and then the WINE libraries but I get this message. It asked for authentication so that's not a permission issue.

PermaBanned · 10 Oct 2010 at 15:48

Instead of Crossover why don't you try PlayOnLinux, see if it works?

Same error. It must be something new to do with Software Centre. I am just going to download the 32-bit version of 10.10 and try again. I am nowhere near competent with Linux.

masterluke · 10 Oct 2010 at 16:09

I just installed msoffice via wine and its working perfect so its alright here. 32bit.

Strange. A dist-upgrade gives nothing. I must have downloaded the updates in the last few days.

Woot, that works fine now I've changed to 32-bit and Steam loads on it.

Yeah they appeared around 3 days ago. Didn't put them on till yesterday, but today there are still no new updates for me, like you.

chrisxuk · 10 Oct 2010 at 22:00

I've got stuck. Just installed 10.10 as a dual boot with Windows 7. Installation seemed to go fine until I had to restart, now I just boot into Windows 7 automatically. No menu with a choice of where I boot. Also, the OS's are on different hard drives as well. Any ideas as to what I can do?
