Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Review (Lucid Lynx)
JimLynch writes "The open source world has been eagerly anticipating the final release of Ubuntu Linux 10.04, and now it's finally here. Canonical has been working extremely hard and it shows in the quality of this release."
Why is that a bug? MS hasn't ever detected dual boot properly.
My Dell Mini is happy running 10.5.7.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
Because there are just too many regular Lynx's out there.
Xenophobic Xenomorph?
.... where they belong?
And the Lord said, "Window decorations must always reside on the right hand side of the window!" And so it was done.
By Ubuntu 22.04 it will become self-aware, and will only accept to be called as "Him", anything else will guarantee a thunderstorm very close to your head.
Moving the buttons will force you to use the other side of your brain more often. Which then will make you a more thoughtful, kinder, and loving person. Just look at the difference between Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer.
Do you really want to end up throwing chairs at people?
You aren't being biblical enough.
[Charlton Heston voice]
And thus the Lord, who is our God, the God of Israel, spake, saying " Woe unto him and unto his seventh generation, he who puts his window decorations on the left side, for they are an abomination unto Me. Thou shalt offer burnt sacrifices as guilt offering to atone for your sin and then henceforth always have your window decorations on the right" and thus it was written
Now that's biblical
When my Gateway LT3201u with its Athlon 64 and positively antiquated ATI graphics can actually come up in X11, it's ready.
When my Acer Aspire One D250-1165, an incredibly common machine with bog-standard intel chipset, graphics, &c can stay up for more than eight hours without hanging with only the background image displayed, or kernel panicking because some system component (the only stuff running is "official" Ubuntu packages) has consumed all available memory and the system can't spawn new processes, it's ready.
But so far, Lucid is in even worse shape than Karmic was when it was released. I'd be ashamed to have my name associated with Lucid.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
You must have some kind of influence here. Any comment I've ever made about a bug in Linux has been modded down.
That depends on if it is worded as "Linux sux because of bug foobar" or as "Ubuntu sux because of bug barfoo". Real Linux fanbois hate Ubuntu, so word carefully!
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

You are mistaken. My 98SE disk detected _both_ boots just fine, I still have the pieces to prove it!

F12 works so well that...
I'm on Ubuntu. I pressed F12. nothing happened. For all of us ignorant and backward Ubuntu users, what does F12 do on Fedora?

Facts have a liberal bias.
Canonical has been working extremely hard and it shows in the quality of this release.
Yeah--after upgrading my server which has a standalone boot drive along with 8 other disks that are in a RAID6 array--it completely fails to boot. Plymouth is a joke--why install graphical boot crap on a server? I can't even see the output of fsck which is apparently complaining that my array is corrupted--because the output is hooked into the fscked-up plymouth system. Lame regressions. Funny how the 8.04 recovery CD says the array is just fine. Meh, loaded Debian last weekend, haven't looked back.
Oh--and there's my netbook. After upgrading, the wireless and onboard NIC work intermittently. Most hibernates require a reboot because the wireless and NIC fail to come back up. Unplugging from the AC adapter causes a kernel panic about 60% of the time. Lots of lame regressions. But hey--at least plymouth works on my netbook. I can boot graphically into a flaky distro. It's scheduled to be upgraded to Debian this weekend.
I upgraded my wife's computer even though that BOFH part of my brain was screaming that I was 0 for 2 on 10.04 upgrades. Upgraded her from 9.10 and she immediately lost audio in Firefox along with the sound icon in her systray. Mplayer, totem, and the like all output sound just fine. Just no firefox or sound icon. And I can't seem to get it back. There is no audio panel applet. After a bunch of dorking around, uninstalling things, recompiling other things, I got audio working. Very lame regression.
I'm going to skip upgrading any of our customer systems to 10.04 in light of this. Instead, I'll start migrating to Debian. There doesn't seem to be any mention of 'plymouth' in their packaging system. That makes me feel a lot better.
I know everyone's experiences are different, but this upgrade totally kicked my ass.
Why don't they ever delay the long-term releases by a few weeks or months to put together a truly finished product?
There's no place like
Xenophobic Xenu.
In other news, Ubuntu will be taken over by the Scientologists. There will be no major changes; just some web filtering. And the psychiatrist module will be dropped from Emacs, but who uses Emacs anyway?
Ignore this signature. By order.
You should have burned your Karma during the last release. Now is the time to be Lucid.
"Left Boot" and "Right Boot" qualifies as two distinct boot detection?

Sure, and after Z, they can use AA (Aardvaark), but where do they go from there?

I'm waiting on Ubuntu 13.04... Rapist Racoon.
Still, the real danger is in 12.04 LTS: Paedophile Penguin.
Without tabbed windows, you lived like some sort of animal. Probably sitting in a pile of your own sick and excrement, as likely to use your computer as to try to eat it or hump it.
We all did. Thank god we upgraded.
Abandoned Abalone?
Or were you thinking further on, like
