Ubuntu 10.04

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?

it wouldn't fail though. i've used windows movie maker loads of times without any problems at all. it doesn't matter. i'm just a bit annoyed. i'll get over it :p
 
Well, put 10.04 on as a VirtualBox guest this morning .... not bad and makes quite a nice desktop OS.

Not a good idea to enable 3D acceleration in VirtualBox with it though ... display ground to a complete halt once the desktop was reached. Closing the VM, unchecking the setting in VB and then booting up the VM again cleared the problem though.
 
Finally finished the update to my desktop this morning, didn't have much time to play around but what I saw was good, I'm impressed, can't wait to have some playtime this weekend.

Now the big question is, do I update my mail server to it? No e-mail for 20 minutes or so during the full update... hmmmm...
 
I think I'll wait a fortnight before upgrading this time.
I've always upgrading asap but i will wait for the inevitable niggles to be quashed this time.

Gives me chance to buy a new drive to stick it on.

Interested to know how it goes if you do. Im running 9.10 server with postfix, dovecot, spam assasin, clamav, shorewall and squirrelmail.

I don't think there is going to be any problems in it, as its a LTS (long term support) so there won't be many bugs in it.
 
Updated from 9.10 last night, failed to install a couple of packages towards the end of install and now refuses to recognise my Win7 partition in Grub2. Tried reinstalling/updating grub but no good, complains about:

Code:
ERROR: pdc: zero sectors on /dev/sda
ERROR: pdc: setting up RAID device /dev/sda
ERROR: sil: wrong # of devices in RAID set "sil_ahaedicfbgad" [1/0] on /dev/sda

...when I don't run RAID :confused:

Knew I shouldn't have upgraded after last time, clean install time when I get a chance!
 
Updated last night so far no problems if anything things are running smoother and a few glitches have been fixed for me.

Indeed.. D/l'd & installed Lucid 64 to my usb stick and...

Success

Sound issues sorted... nippy.

sounds like a winner

I've been thinking of trying one of these virtual os things for a while now, i dual boot with ubuntu but find i run xp most of the time, is it possible to use the ubuntu partition and run it virtual under xp without reinstalling anything or having a seperate virtual install of ubuntu?

Pretty similar setup here, but instead I have:

- Postfix
- Courier POP3 and IMAP daemons
- MySQL holding account info
- Spam Assasin and ClamAV fed by amavis
- Shorewall
- Fail2Ban
- Apache2 (running open atmail)

Its a job I have lined up for today, will kick it off and let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed :D
 
I've been a bit dissapointed by 10.04 to be honest, i think they overhyped and underdelivered with the whole rebranding thing. The only real differences i've noticed from 9.10 are the theme and the software manager, both of which are better in Mint 8 and don't have any unpopular choices. Nice and stable though, apart from in the live cd a few times. Should make a good base for Mint 9, but is that really all Ubuntu is nowadays? A lot of distributions are moving back to Debian as a base as Ubuntu seems to have given in to marketing.
 
This release was meant to be mainly about bugs, its an LTS so they want businesses to use it and expand their userbase.
