Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bit

Post by Lee_Stricklin »

Finally upgraded to this and I can honestly say I like it better than the previous three releases. I ran into some issues upon install though. First issue was my sound not working correctly (or at all most of the time) with my only way of tweaking volume being through ALSA Mixer in the terminal. That was caused by Pulse Audio being fully integrated now but being completely absent on my system due to earlier removal of it when I was running 9.04. Fortunately they took some major anti-suck to the "software that currently breaks your audio" and it now works beautifully WITHOUT LAG (HOLY SHIT!) completely detecting my system's 7.1 capabilities on top of it. The second issue was the window controls being moved to the left side (WTF WERE THEY THINKING!) that was fixed by changing the theme and then changing it back. The other annoyance I had was that I had to upgrade to 9.10 before I upgraded to 10.04 (though you can upgrade from 8.04, weird). Other than that, this seems to be a lot smoother than the previous three versions I've used making it the best version I used since 7.10.

Jep, Lucid Lynx release is very solid. I'm running it on my laptop since release day and I honestly cannot complain about any major issues. Thumbs up!

Almost flawless, the only thing that annoys me is that it looks similar to Mac OS X in it's default settings. My sound works flawlessly, my webcam, etc. and this thing seems ridiculously stable.
