Ubuntu 9.10 released!

Seeding since day 1 also. Took a long time to get due to #users.

Unexpectedly, I find it faster than 9.04.

Now seeding the x86 version, as well as the alternative one.

I have been using the Beta for a couple months, and am halfway through updating to the real thing now.

I must say, I love the new install thing. The old on was so unfriendly. Although it appears to have finished the slideshow and stuck on "Getting Help with Ubuntu". Smooth.

It's far better and faster than the old one (I got a 7 second boot up time from GRUB) and that was just the Beta.

Not touching it. I'm fed up with the random breakages and regressions between versions. I like Ubuntu in theory, but back here in reality, I wish the developers would start developing things and contributing upstream instead of just tweaking things until they break and then undoing the last edit. The LiveCD was broken for many systems on release day - strangely enough, the RC worked. How can you possibly manage to do something like that? Nobody's infallible, but breaking the ISO?

Hi...
Thanks for sharing the information and its really good...

Well I have it on a Virtual Machine and cannnot get the sound to work as others have reported for VM's.

I also have it on my home machine and have 64 bit Adobe flash issues. can't seem to fix with common fixes. I have ran into this before 9.10 though.

Ah, the random update breakages... This seems to be getting typical for Ubuntu. Have you tried doing a manual flash install though? (BTW, the problem is more likely to be Adobe's fault since Flash on Linux is pretty badly implemented, and I don't think the 64 bit flash is even official.) You could always try Gnash which is getting better all the time.

I am running it here at home on my laptop. Everything seems to be working, some nice UI tweaks, software installer looks cool. Nothing new though, several other distro's have been doing this for a while. Overall, I like ubuntu, but I'm almost daring to say I'd rather just run debian and have something work right.

I'll order the dvds, as I always do your any new ubuntu flavor.

I just lost my ubuntu 8.10 DVDs though, so I'm stuck to using 7.04 live CD for some time.

On Ubuntu 9.04 I have had issues with getting Gnome to work correctly on machines I've installed 9.04 on (It had to roll over to KDE) as it would basically crash before it even finished loading up. I managed to find a fix for that, but yeah, the Ubuntu breakages are starting to get quite regular. I know they release a new distro every six months or so, but if it keeps breaking things I'd say they might as well hold off on new distro releases making sure everything is working correctly first.
