Ubuntu 7.10?

SiriusB · 18 Oct 2007 at 16:04

If you have to ask, probably 32-bit.

Although 64-bit is well supported in Linux and it runs 32-bit apps just fine.

It's taken me 10mins just to find a mirror with a decent speed.

Thought I would share my link as I wasn't having much luck with the ones on the ubuntu site: http://mirror.arndnet.de/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso

Chris.

Thanks for the link, I changed over after the mirror I was on slowed to ~10KB/s.

If anyone else tries this mirror be aware it regularly stalls for several minutes at a time then resumes. While running it maxes out my connection at 232KB/s

celliott · 18 Oct 2007 at 16:31

Didnt notice that problem got solid 720KB/s

SiriusB · 18 Oct 2007 at 17:38

Hardcore 25kb/s here! :cool:

Looks like more people are upgrading than downloading the image.

Been using the RC since it came out, it's much quicker than 7.04

And much cleaner than my messed up install that I did upgrade...

I've just installed it to a virtual machine, now how do i get this cube effect working.

Edit: Btw i was getting a solid 650kbps+ from this link.

You won't get it working in a VM, it's hardware accelerated

Mobius 1 · 18 Oct 2007 at 18:46

solid 230kb/sec from the link celliott posted

Wonder if i'll be as suprised as i was when i first tried 7.04 after being a fedora follower.

Rackerz · 18 Oct 2007 at 18:54

I'm running it right now, I do love using Ubuntu I just wish everything worked!

gumbald · 18 Oct 2007 at 19:05

What isn't working?

Sp!ke · 18 Oct 2007 at 19:11

Xubuntu is ready as well, but it's being hammered and I can't get a link

(Yeh I know I said I was going to wait for the next LTS version but I'm a little more confident with Ubuntu now so ........

)

/goes to search for a working link

Should I use the same apt: command to get DVD's and MP3's working as I did in 7.04 or is there a new one??

SiriusB · 18 Oct 2007 at 21:32

What do you mean, new one?

yhack · 18 Oct 2007 at 21:50

I upgraded and managed to destroy it, so I'm going to clean install after I've downloaded it.

marscay · 18 Oct 2007 at 21:51

wow 7.10 seems a pretty big improvement over 7.04 in terms of speed on the desktop.

i've always had compiz-fuzion working 100% but it's much much smoother/faster under 7.10.

AWN seems to work more efficiently too.

SiriusB · 18 Oct 2007 at 21:56

I am about halfway through the upgrade - should be done in half an hour.

Does AWN come with the upgrade, or have you added it yourself? Last time I used AWN it was more trouble than it was worth.

marscay · 18 Oct 2007 at 22:02

no AWN isn't in the release......use these repos, they will work perfect - latest bzr

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr

can't live without AWN

SiriusB · 18 Oct 2007 at 22:11

Nice. Will try it again once I have upgraded. Although generally I find myself getting bored with things like AWN.

Compiz-Fusion is genuinely useful and hard to replace. AWN just a cool-looking taskbar.
