Hardy Heron

Is Everyone looking forward to Hardy Heron???

acidburn · 04-20-2008

I am definitely. I was trying to resist not to install it, but installed the latest RC upgrade from Gutsy Gibbon. I didn't keep up with the changes during development and I'm pretty surprised how good it is. Very impressive. The Ubuntu team did an outstanding job.

Sadly I'm sure it will still be no use to me - I expect to be stuck with Windows forever

omns · 04-21-2008

Being unable to wait 2 days I just installed the RC version. I haven't used Ubuntu for a couple of years and this is quite impressive. I've resisted installing because I think I've been being a bit elitist and trying to get some slackware distros running on my travelmate. After many hours of frustration, Heron just installed and works flawlessly.

Bravo

and after bagging out dual booting the other day I think I give it a go for a while ...lol

The server is down because everyone is trying to download it. I'm stuck at 7.10 (cant update). This is probably one of the most anticipated releases yet, though from what I've read it's not nearly as large of a jump as some of their previous versions. Mostly bugfixes and minor changes I imagine, though firefox beta is in the repo.

Why don't you try the torrents, here's one from ThePirateBay.org :

ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso (download torrent) - TPB

(as of right now 366 seeders)

Here are other list of mirrors:
J's Ubuntu torrent mirror

NET WT · 04-24-2008

I just finished downloading, and will burn the disk in a short while. Got it through the torrent. http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/
I downloaded both Ubuntu and Xubuntu.

I upgraded from 7.10 last evening and all went well, though Firefox is behaving a little odd, but I think that has to do with the browser itself and not th OS.

I'm happy with 8.04.

jimbo2150 · 04-25-2008

Hopefully I will be able to run it (once again) after I get these home movies recorded. Needed WinBlows cause the recorder has not Linux drivers.

Have you had any problems with your graphics card?

I updated, but ended up having a screenres too low. Seems like it can't get in touch with my card, but it shouldn't be a problem. After all, the 7.10 worked as it should.

pkslot · 04-26-2008

I can see, that i'm not the only one with problems.

pkslot · 04-27-2008

Well, no hardy heron for me yet. I think i'll wait until july, where the supposed 8.04.1 LTS is released.

I can't get my graphics card up and running. I've tried everything from console, restricted drivers, manuel installation of nvidias donwloadable drivers to ENVY. Nothing helps, it just sucks, even on a clean install.

So i've gone back to a clean install of 7.10 with rt-kernel, which works flawless in any way. Bummer.

delilahjed44 · 04-27-2008

I'm going to wait a bit just yet and see what goes on with those who have it . Besides I somewhat dug a hole for myself in the original installation of 710. I used Amd 64 instead of i386 thinking this machine was the same as the other..So on occasion while leaving my OS on the graphics card has a coronary, looks like someone slashed my screen a zillion times..I could back up and re-install but Adobe was a sure drag to get installed with 710 in order to view video footage on-line..

For the moment I am laying low..

So far I like Xubuntu Hardy Heron, but don't like how Firefox keeps crashing on me. I plan to install regular Ubuntu, on my other computer, tomorrow.

FF2? If it keeps crashing I suggest FF3. It is still in it's last beta but it is really stable at this point.

I am using version 3.0b5 of Firefox. I rarely had any problems with FF2, it was my favorite browser. I don't plan on going back though.
