now for the first time have I been disappointed by Ubuntu, installed the beta and everything was fine.... installed the RC today and BOOM... no sound... !!!
P.S.: Im just a dumb moron, changed the default device in audio properties and alls well now... :ashamed:

hehehe...
but looking at the state of karmic this time it looks like again they are risking an unstable product during release... lets hope for the best... all that fancy xsplash and what not may backfire for them...
today i will try out Fedora 12 KDE beta and (k)ubuntu 9.10 RCs

as of now ext4 looks impressive .
I have a 500GB hard disk . (7200.11)
backed up all my data on identical drive i got from my friend .
speed it showed was 53 Mbps
which slowed down to 39 Mbps as the transfer neared its completion .
total data transferred was over 250GB .
both drives were ext3.
after formatting in ext4
i copied back all my data , getting speeds starting from 80Mbps , and actually going upto 89Mbps .
here source was ext3 , destination was ext4 .
also bootup is faster .
Graphic seem smoother on intel IGP.
HD seems to make very less noise on ext4 .

when you copied the data while backing it up..... was the destination drive formatted??
the speed also depends upon what location on drive the data is being stored and read from... segmentation and all can lead to slow speed too... (PS: i don't know much about file systems but this is what happens in case of ntfs and fat)

installed 9.10 in the morning..
working very well so for.. no issues..
have installed catalyst 9.10 for my hd4850 and i'm not well informed about openCL as of yet.. will anyways try my luck with wine and the games that had issues with earlier catalysts without openCL support.
a new disk utility... Palimpsest Disk Utility 2.28.0 is included in the packages and it does look a little user friendly over GParted.
one more important thing over 9.04.... the removable flash drives finally get the 'Format' option without having to open any disk utility.
also there is Ubuntu Software Center 1.0.2 ... which seems like a control panel-like option to make use if traitional synaptic package manager; although the regular synaptic package manager is also included just in case...
as of yet... i do not know if it was worth going to 9.10 from an already set up 9.04 that i had.

Yea, pretty boring release feature wise, at least looking at the official tour: Ubuntu 9.10 Feature Tour | Ubuntu
You need an "unpartitioned" empty space preferably. So try right clicking G: in the above window and shrink it by at least about 10 GB (enough for starters). Then boot off Ubuntu CD or USB key which you create from the downloaded ISO.... start the installer and in the partioning stage either let it "use unused space" or select manual partitioning and select the "free space" and create maybe 2 GB swap and rest for "Ext 4" filesystem and set mount point to root (slash) /
edit: BTW Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit final version installed fine on my machines (what a relief)... it seems to be stable. looks really good. apparently they will keep releasing fixes for karmic like boot speed so i have enabled "proposed" and "backports" in the software sources settings. as usual virtualisation sucks so installed virtualbox. it automatically detected my printer when I powered it on. VPN/PPTP works so i can connect to office for work. networking, sound all OK. wifi works fine on tablet PC. didnt try "empathy" IM client - i think that might be problematic for many folks...
the installer now has a "skip" button in the "configuring apt" and "downloading language packs" stage where it used to take loads of time before so they finally fixed (sort of) a long standing complaint which was there for many releases...
so now its time to move on to Kubuntu ! (cant wait for 10.04 lucid lynx already)
