Has anyone tried the 8.04 version? i have a dual boot ... do i just click on upgrade button in 7.10 ?? or will this method mess up my grub ?

I have no idea about that. Does Wubi allows us to download 8.04?

No it wont.

ive tried on my system, its clean install.. guess what?

after finish installation, there is no display.. just dark screen. seems it does not support ati hd series at all. 7.10 better, at least there is display b4 i messed up with ati catalyst.. lol

works fine on my inspiron 6400, just messed up the wifi led but installing the backports fixed that

Installation works fine on Intel Mac. Still doing some testing on it.

any tried using 8.04 under virtualbox?

8.04 worked for my laptop (Acer 4720z), only thing was the wireless card

I did just that click on the upgrade button in 7.10, it screws up my display. I had to do a clean reinstall with Linux Mint Daryna and lost all my torrents in progress..

Ubuntu 8.04 works fine on my pc.
less buggy.

hi there, may i know what graphic card u using?

me too..
but i install it using WUBI..
more easier..
huhu~

what's new in 8.04 that is worth upgrading? My 7.10 is still working fine.

ah. my dual monitor cant work on 8.04

using geforce 7400

mine is working fine .. its my first time installing linux ... only use in my class last time ... i install in my 4+ years pc ... on intel celeron .. ddr 256MB and graphic card agp fx55** (dun remember) ... running smoothly ..

only use for torrent for now ... the best thing is .. so far i have no problem .. since everything is just clicking ... can do all the compiz and emerald no prob ... but abit lag la when i pun many effect ... i love it ..

juz installed seems my 9600gt still unsupported......
others juz owrk fine for me

aha 8.04 works for me.. the cd arrived yesterday.. lol but i long installed it even b4 that...

anyway the most significant change i found is better driver support,
eg in my case it recognized my USB Wifi Dongle without any third party installs (a standard Broadcom chipset, previously required to manually compile the driver from source)

PS: I'm using and old gc ATi9200SE no probs there

My desktop can't be enabled after upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. Luckily i reinstalled the latest binary driver from nvidia and it works again.

It boots up much faster than the previous gutsy 7.10.

i updated my laptop for this 8.04 but after that, my wireless is not working. probably some issues with broadcom. i have to redo the wireless setting all over again

any1 plz help me
got driver for 9600gt?

I'm on 7.10. Will upgrading to 8.04 reset all my settings? Like in compiz and xorg confs etc?

Thanks in advance

Ubuntu 8.04 rockz. Tested for about 5- 6 days. System stability way better than my expectation (better than beta as I heard). Next plan is to test FC9. Heard it is much better now.

hmmm..... been using for weeks no probs so far. the only problem is how to install a program?

synaptic package manager gui for beginners...

wget, apt-get or equivalent command line tools for advanced users...

For beginners: Linux programs are distributed as "packages" (or " software installers" in Windows). There are a few "package" formats. Common formats are ".RPM", ".DEB". These formats contain installation scripts, compilation scripts, configuration scripts and sometimes binary or zipped files encapsulated inside a package.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_package_formats

http://www.desktoplinux.com/files/misc/mepis-synaptic.jpg

there's lot of features come with 8.04 LTS compared to 7.10 version.Those who interested to use Ubuntu,better get Hardy Heron because it have wubi application where you can install into your windows and you may remove it without leaving any problem.

i c just realize how to used it. Now i can using terminal rather the clunky synaptic one, and thnx for the advice!

and you may used aptitude also...

Just tested Fedora 9 (from DVD installer), results: Amazing, 4.5 stars out of 5. Compared with Ubuntu 8.04, I have encountered several bugs before, like the screen turned dotted, and I need to find a wireless driver for my Compaq laptop to be used. Whereas, Fedora 9 is beyond my expectations, the KDE GUI turns out very cool, wireless driver ready, automatic softwares updates are also available. Thumbs up for Fedora 9

Installed 8.04 for one week... it is better than my previous opensuse 10.3.

- easier ati driver and compiz configuration
- finally can adjust the screen brightness
- wireless connects flawlessly (intel 3945)

the downside is, not very familiar with gnome interface/tools. Dislike the power management tool also, which do not provide any option to change the power option to powersave. need to manually install KDE's kpowersave. video playback on gstreamer is jerky, and my built-in memory card reader still cannot be used though lspci shows the correct driver, after plugging in memory card still no effect.

overall, i give this ubuntu 7/10, is better than previous ubuntu's (which can't even install on my lappie and old pc). Waiting for opensuse 11

i ordered like a 2 weeks ago and it came just a week after i ordered.. and it's 8.04 LTS.. super cool man their service.. u guys should just order online too.. it's free..
but still. i haven't test them yet.. (both ubuntu 8.04 LTS & kubuntu 8.04) still undecided

order the cd if u really need it...
if we abuse the free cd program, i afraid the next release, u cant get free cd anymore..
during ubuntu 5.04, i apply 25 cd, they give 25 cd,
now i apply 25 cd, they give me 5 only...

i received the cd 2 days ago. Just installed it. Feel good with it. But i forgotten what software i installed on my previous set.

just received my Ubuntu 8.04 free cd...
both desktop & server edition...

hey guys.. new ubuntu user here..
i installed ubuntu last night as i was getting pretty pissed with vista (bugs and some driver issues)

anyways after i installed the latest ubuntu 8.04 LTS my pc was fine the desktop everything was fine.. .
then i went to SYSTEM >> ADMINISTRATION >> HARDWARE DRIVERS and i installed what it told me to install.. after i installed the recommended display card driver.. and restarted the pc... my screen became pixelated and crappy.. with like some boxes in the middle and here and there... sort of like the screen became blur la.. so then i uninstalled the driver and restarted the pc.. .after that its all back to normal..

what happened?

EDIT: using NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

ubuntu may not have all the supported drivers especially for Graphic Card...
thus, the best option is just let ubuntu to auto-detect the card and it will do the rest of the job nicely for u...

My suggestion, download the driver from Nvidia. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html
There are some steps that you need to follow before and during installation. You can find more info here...

It's great to see so many users are trying Linux especially Ubuntu. Help to save cost and keep pirated stuffs away. Bravo! Long live Ubuntu. For developers, you may try Fedora core. May be time consuming to update those codec stuffs, but you may learn another different curves. Good luck!

emmm...I m using ubuntu 8.04 now. Didn't realise ubuntu's visual effect is much 'keng' than windows vista. The whole dialog box can swell & crooked when u drag it and sliding effect when u move to the next desktop. COOLLL

having problems installing my canon pixma ip1880 driver.... searched online but to no avail... tried many instructions online but still cant get it to print..

any ideas?

EDIT:
Its ok i found a solution.. so well, anyone here new to ubuntu and are also using any canon pixma 1800 series printers can use this guide

HOW TO GUIDE

but for ubuntu 8.04 users.. in step 4 under configure CUPS, you dont have to select 'USB Printer #1 with status readback for Canon IJ' under which device do you wanna use... just select which ever it recommends.. thats how it all worked for me..

New ubuntu user here too, i just recieved my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition (64 bit). Then i just try to install it in my Windows, since it is able to do so.
So here it comes, since i am new for Ubuntu. I chose the 1 that boot from CD for DEMO in Full installation.
After i boot it from CD then it keep running those code..... like DOS....for a period of time...
I thought it wont be too long since it just a DEMO right, but it like WONT stop.
How long does it takes to INSTALL ??
And the situations happened to me is it normal ???

maybe its ur com prob?

Haih....what to do, i tried on ur comp.
End up can install but in the end go back to Windows also.
Should be hardware or something lar.

any generous guy in here willing to send me a copy of this Ubuntu 8.04 LTS cd?
I'm dial-up user which is impossible to download a 700MB file.

You can request for a free CD here

https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

Comes with a free Ubuntu sticker too!

the delivery may take up to ten weeks. so how long download using celcom d68 ?
