Lucid Lynx Is Here And Ive 10 MUST Have Application's For You To Install
Yes - you have the correct version (it has to squeeze onto a CD).
I assume you are doing a fresh install?
If you upgrade (using the CD), it will still want to to get extra bits relating to any customised bits that you have previously added to the base version.
E.g. for a 64 bit install, it's handy to add the 32 bit libraries alongside; I'm using some KDE apps on a "standard" Gnome install - which needs quite a lot of KDE libraries.

Quote I assume you are doing a fresh install?
Yes, my semi legal desktop is probably the best candidate for this. It has nothing important on it and if theres a few teething errors it won't cause me any major worries. There is a copy of 9.10 Karmic dual booting on there but I think I'll get best results giving 10.04 the whole HD.
BTW I downloaded the torrent very fast was probably over in about 20/25 mins so if people are getting it slow from Ubuntu try the torrent instead. http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
Last time I downloaded it on the 9.10 the disc would freeze at 95% so I checksummed it and found that was out so several burns later I realised the downloaded image file was also corrupt
At least with a torrent if it doesn't checksum the torrent will just keep re-downloading the corrupt part until it matches so as long as you verify the burn on the disc you know you have a good copy.
That's my tip for the day
Just for the time being 10.04 is running on a separate partition as Wubi. Everything works.
Just a trivial thing: I thought that I read that you could put the maximise/minimise in the top right-hand corner instead of the top left but can't find it now. The current set up seems to be copying Mac.
It is not as lively as I thought it would be - maybe it is better properly installed.

That's why I'm going to give it a PC all to itself Poppy so to cut out any outside intervention, at least then if there are any problems I know where to look for any answers.
Cheers Fox - will go check. Am only using Wubi to see that everything is alright first. In many ways, I agree with Santiago - best to wait a bit until all the problems have been aired and sorted - wish I had his patience!
For now, am playing nicely and joy of joys - Java is actually working OK!
All done and much better - ta!

Scary bug

Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition looks set to be even more MacOS-like with its Global Menu Bar
247 days!! thats something
Quote from: Hairy If you want to be really up-to date then try Debian's SID release, it is constantly upgraded 
I wouldn't recommend that, unless you like having your PC broken more time than it's working
Sid's the experimental release, and is very unstable.
Just discovered another bug/feature
If I'm not signed into at least user with a GUI screen, then my wireless isn't working.
i.e. if my only signon is a proper command entry screen - such as CTRL+ALT+F1 etc, then no wireless connection is made.
Haven't tried to see if there is an easy fix - but this is definitely different to previous versions.

Despite what Debian say about Sid, I find it's more than stable enough for daily desktop use; I find it's very rare that anything (I use) breaks. YMMV.
Experimental I wouldn't touch with a bargepole
