First time using Ubuntu, so I'm going for the windows installer for it, but the installer either hangs at the downloading infomation on instalation files part. I'd rather do it this way, so I don't have to go out and buy some CD's.

Is this a known bug or is there a fix for it?

if you have a memory stick, use this to put the image onto a memory stick and boot from that instead of a cd.

what is the best way to go if I got 9.10 installed?

Gentlemen, start your apt-get dist-upgrades !

No it hasn't? It's just the same, they said they would release a totally new site layout when they announced they were dropping human.

Just installed 10.04 with Windows 7 pro. Its so much better than the last one that I used version 7 or something like that.

psd99 · 29 Apr 2010 at 21:13

yes it has improved dramatically since 7.

9.10 is still good but the beta of 10.04 looked even better

Still having problems with 10.04 Think I installed it too early this morning

sjcf1 · 29 Apr 2010 at 21:44

I like how its picked up everything I had on my windows partition, and then added it to Ubuntu. Quite supprised that I bothered buying 7 for the laptop, and I could have just used ubuntu.

I meant changed as in saying that 10.04 is the current version.

Yeah, but they were going to have a complete rebrand. I thought it would happen at the same time as release.

deadite66 · 29 Apr 2010 at 23:39

will try to upgrade my server/mediapc at the weekend.
(mental note make a partimage)

Solaris · 30 Apr 2010 at 00:34

Had my desktop running the update since it got released, damn slow update.

Got both my servers in the datacenter running it already though and running sweet

and its not apt-get dist-upgrade its...

Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=lts
Launch the upgrade tool:
sudo do-release-upgrade
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Doesnt need one. they obviously aren't the power user they thought they were and blame the software

bombono deleted my video folder, and my video file on my desktop for some reason. and i've no way of getting it back.

it has nothing to do with being a "power user" if a program deletes your files without asking.

Try photorec, it will almost certainly recover it, but my last experience of it was a bit awkward - it didn't seem to recover filenames, just the data.

And that's a pretty small reason for abandoning Linux completely for Windows. Just choose a distro that isn't backed by Canonical, who have made some rather absurd decisions in recent times.

And finally, keep backups.

and nothing to do with ubuntu/linux if 1 program does not behave as you expect

Would you abandon windows if a program did the same?
