Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Released

Looks good. I haven't tried any of the Dapper stuff so I'm hoping that there are a few nice improvements over Breezy! :)
 
I didn't have much luck with the earlier releascandidates but I am downloading now and will see how I get along.

It just kept stalling at installation, it went through all the regionlisation and timezone screens and then just froze. With 5 it all worked wonderfully on my little Thinkpad, but the earlier release of 6 just stopped, I left it for about 20 mins and nothing happened. I am hoping it was just one of those little bugs that has been ironed out now. It is a test 'puter anyway so it is no trouble trying out a new release.
 
Hopefully it'll work this time. I installed 6.06 beta on several machines and it worked flawlessly. Perhaps your disk image became corrupted somewhere between the FTP server and when you put it on disk. /shrugs

Good luck, sir.
 
I'll let you know how I get on. Ubuntu is a seriously good distro and I am starting to use it more and more. Currently I still have to use Windows for some things at work but when I work from home I only use my Mac and Ubuntu. :o
 
For those of you with an existing installation of Ubuntu all you need to do is

a) Wait for the auto-updater to background-download the new packages of everything.

-or-

b) Pass it the following command
Code: 
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -yqq dist-upgrade
 
I love Bit Torrent at a time like this. I can barely access any of the HTTP download sites, yet I'm rocking 1000 KB/s on the official torrent for the DVD version. Not long now. :)

I'm busy uploading all the .isos at 1.56 MiB/s.

Whoops, sorry I missed this earlier. :o



To upgrade from 5.10 you need to edit your soruces.conf so that it can see the dapper repositories. Open up the terminal and run:
Code: 
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
This backs up your current sources.conf file.
Then run:
Code: 
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add these to your file to get all the repos:
Code: 
## All officially supported packages, including security- and other updates
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted

## The source packages (only needed to recompile existing packages)
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted

## All community supported packages, including security- and other updates
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates universe multiverse

## The source packages (only needed to recompile existing packages)
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates universe multiverse

Save the file and then type this in the terminal:
Code: 
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
And wait for it to download. :)

I only have a couple of old 650's lying around and I'm too impatient to wait for the CD to be delivered, so I'm downloading the DVD iso.

Or just burn the CD iso to a DVD? ;)
