<![CDATA[Linux-Noob Forums - Hardy Heron (8.04)]]> https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/ Thu, 02 Jul 2026 03:59:09 +0000 MyBB <![CDATA[8.04 some testing]]> https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/thread-947.html Fri, 16 May 2008 18:43:11 +0200 Varjagy]]> https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/thread-947.html A little late, but finally some notes:

 

I have now upgraded a few computers from 7.10 to 8.04. Most of them get some bugs after the upgrade, and they are very similar to the ones people experienced when they upgraded fro 7.04 to 7.10. Hopefully I'll get to test fresh installs soon.

 

Bugs so far:

- Takes ages to unpack files.

- Updata manager locks up

 

Other small notes:

- the "Screens and Graphics" button is moved to Applications - Other (Other can be found if you right click Applications - Edit Menus)

Quote:"The Ubuntu development community has announced that the fifth Ubuntu 8.04 prerelease is now available for testing. Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 5 adds additional polish and reliability as well as a few intriguing new features. The official release of Ubuntu 8.04, codenamed Hardy Heron, is scheduled for late April and feature freeze is already in effect. One of the most significant new features added in alpha 5 is support for Wubi, a new installation mechanism that makes it easier for Ubuntu and Windows to coexist on the same computer. Wubi provides a complete Ubuntu installer that can be run in Windows from the Ubuntu Live CD. It installs Ubuntu into a folder on the Windows file system and sets up a boot menu so that users can choose between Windows and Ubuntu when the computer starts."
