Who's using Ubuntu 9.04 daily

Jacky Jauntalope or whatever it's called .....I ran it on a LiveCD x64 and it seems pretty stable...I did report a non consequential crash that had already been reported.

Just wondered how stable it is for day to day

thx

 

Probably not stable.

 

Well, figured...but I've read on some blogs that it's 'surprisingly stable' for an Alpha release...so, was curious....might want to do my deed of bug reporting if it's not going fall down all around me

 

I was planning on waiting for 9.10. But, I use Kubuntu so I guess I have to wait an extra long time.

 

I used Alphas 3,4, and 5. IT was really stable with only a few issues for an early alpha release, IMO.
Kubuntu is SO much better with KDE 4.2, Amarok 2, etc. It's not a huge mix of halfbaked KDE 3 and 4 anymore(at least, that was how 8.10 largely was for me).

 

I'm using Alpha 6 right now, seems pretty stable. KDE is really where I want to be but I'm giving this a chance....I had some kernel panics on this machine with PCLOS (my fault I'm sure), so wanted to try this before I did a reinstall...I borked acpi or something over there...they are on 3.5.10 but in their words, "KDE 4.2 will go into the repo's as soon as we stabilize it"

EDIT: I'm using 9.04 Alpha 6, x64 w/ EXT4 on the root directory, EXT3 on /home. Seems very fast overall.
Kubuntu Alpha is going on nExt !!

EDIT2: Man, they Finally got rid of that eye searing BROWN at boot up !! Good job !

 

The alpha changes so much that it's not really recommended for daily use. Any update could break it, and you definitely don't want that. There's a reason I'm still running 8.04 on my work machine

 

I'm checking out the Kubuntu Alpha 6 plus 95 updates....it's scorchingly fast...bluetooth is working finally for me. I have ext4 on the root directory, and ext3 on the /home. All the other KDE4's I've used seemed sluggish. It's so nice I hate to remove it btw, Opera screams

Flash 64 seems OK in Opera also

 

Zoid,
I know you have been searching for a distro that detects your hardware properly. How did this Ubuntu alpha do?

 

absolutely fine on my hardware...I've got Kubuntu 9.04 x64 with ext4 on / right now....it's very very fast....not sluggish like the other KDE4 implementations I've tried. I posted a screenie in that screenie thread. Seems stable so far...there were a couple of known crash notifications but didn't break the system.

 

That's cool.. I've been interested in this Jaunty for a while, since it's supposed to be the fastest Ubuntu ever and tailored for laptops. So I might give it a try once it's at least RC

 

My HGL-30's touchpad is still broken with Jaunty, so I'm on the fence.
