heard that ubuntu sabily 9.10 will be out on 10/11/2009... 4 days more... cant wait!!!

i upgraded from 9.04 and could not even boot into the linux partition upon restart.. lol

anyways, has anyone tried the 64bit versions?

any downside in terms of compatibility and softwares to it?

i dont know about real ubuntu... but when i upgraded from ubuntu sabily 9.04 to 9.10... my pc hang in the installation process... so u know what that means... need to reformat my pc... however my boss upgraded the same sabily version to ubuntu 9.10 in his office desktop.... and its fine... my one is laptop.... maybe need to wait a couple of days to download the official release of Sabily 9.10 codenamed Gaza....

The same thing happen for me after upgrading process as well. I'm not sure Sabily Gaza will up soon due to install grub error in Beta version. I don't know if the problem was already solved.

my boss said that it will be on the 10th of this month... that means next tuesday... dunno true or not...

just finished installed KK, but lowyat forum is ugly!
solution;
$sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
$sudo fc-cache -fv

lalalala ...

agreed. linux font is plain ugly. You should download the segoe UI font, even better.

just installed 9.10 over 9.04 via wubi. lovin the karmic koala~

what i did on the koala:

- took out the annoying bottom panel n put awn in instead
- got gnome-do
- got flash players, codecs, vlc player
- took out empathy cos it's pathetic, reinstated pidgin
- got skype
- put my sys monitor widget back on
- rhythmbox playlist update

what am i missing?

@wiLL*lianG

Wow, dya guys running ubuntu everyday? or perhaps in working environment? Ive try them before but I cant live longer with em'
Feel so empty..

im running on my personal laptop. im kinda preferring ubuntu over windows now. superb boot speed, less (or no) lag..some of the apps are even better than windows too!

Well, i for one, hates it when i switched over from Vista to Ubuntu earlier due to work issues. It felt such a hassle especially when needing to install certain programs where you need hell lot more work as compare to the "double click the exe and install" method on the windows.

But for now, the more i try, the more i felt good about it. Yea, the installing certain software are still there and there is a high dependency on the terminal but once you get over that, its really fast and smooth. Kinda really like the karmic koala and would probably stay longer even not for work.

ahaha what! installing apps is merely a matter of typing "sudo apt-get install <insert name>" in the terminal. dont even need to find an exe

Well, then you would need to know the name to insert I mean, some will need you give the version numbers etc or you should call me lazy. I do have a couple of programs, mainly Adobe Air which requires me to install it manually. Meaning, download the tar.gz file, do some chmod, launch it using the terminal etc to get it to install, and that, at first, was more troublesome than Windows.

But i kinda like the Ubuntu Software Center that came along. Thats a nice piece to the Karmic Koala (didnt notice it when i am on 9.04, or i might have not explored enough ). Started off with the lowly Zenwalk but switched to Ubuntu, and life came so much easier in Ubuntu.

Edited :

Anyone here able to enable the Visual Effects in System --> Apearance? I tried selecting it, it searched for drivers, and then failed. Just trying to explore what difference does it make.

jaunty had the add/remove programs which works the same as software centre

high effects make your windows behave like jelly. it's really fun

Well, probably i am still Linux Noob at that time. But am starting to enjoy Karmic very much How did you enabled it? I tried enabling it on my Dell Laptop and all it says was unable to start. I wonder is there any specific driver that is required in order to get it to start

Installing software in Linux is indeed difficult http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/softwa...x-is-difficult/ /sarcasm

Compiz should be enabled by default. What was the error message exactly when it failed when you tried to enable it?
