- kahrn, on 11/01/2007, -0/+46Just remember that this release will be an LTS release which means less new features will be added in comparison to a normal release. More effort will probably go into bug fixing and making everything stable.
- crestfall, on 11/01/2007, -5/+45I hope they stick in the orange / brown range. I don't know why so many people hate it. That's Ubuntu to me.
Easy file sharing would be nice - like the right-click folder sharing and simple web share in openSUSE, but why not stick with NFS? - BoMEpsilon, on 11/11/2007, -3/+40But welcome nonetheless. I never really liked Human.
- UNL1M1T3D, on 11/11/2007, -2/+30I haven't had a single problem. It feels a lot more stable to me at least.
- renegadeafk, on 11/01/2007, -3/+27New icon theme THAT IS SO RADICAL. I actually welcome this, I usualyl switch to tangerine as soon as I install ubuntu. Human isn't very good.
- mccord, on 11/01/2007, -0/+248.04 -> april 2008
- Sacrifice, on 11/01/2007, -2/+23Black with orange highlights could be sleek and professional. I am not a huge fan of the brown either.
- mep8, on 11/11/2007, -9/+25Maybe they should concentrate on fixing the basic bugs before running off in a hundred other directions. Check out their "Installation & Upgrades" forums to see the myriad of problems Gutsy 7.10 has.
- markhp, on 10/31/2007, -1/+17NetworkManager 0.7 should, if it goes in, go a long way to resolving this.
- renegadeafk, on 11/11/2007, -1/+18in 6 months like every other release :)
- emorphien, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1608/04
- superyounan1, on 10/31/2007, -2/+17you know its gonna be good when you look at the very first item in the list and think "COOL, thats sweet"
- phinn, on 10/28/2007, -0/+11Yea same here, first thing I do after I install Ubuntu is aptitude update, then switch the theme to one less ugly. I actually like Kubuntu a lot for that reason
- LuTze, on 10/29/2007, -3/+14To be honest, since Ubuntu 8.04 is going to be the LTS ("Stable") version, I am guessing they won't try anything too dramatic. OTOH, I am looking forward to Kubuntu 8.04 becoz at the very least it should have KDE4.0 in it.
- inactive, on 10/30/2007, -0/+11Have you ever tried to right click the folder using Nautilus and select "Share Folder"??
- UNL1M1T3D, on 10/29/2007, -2/+13That is awesome I never put those two things together.
- inactive, on 10/29/2007, -1/+12Have you tried using wicd?
- jdhore1, on 11/11/2007, -0/+11Uhh...BulletProofX and a GUI X Configuration tool is already in Gutsy and i'm quite sure it will be in Hardy as well.....
- Ademan, on 10/31/2007, -3/+13Have you EVER used linux? This sounds like a canned complaint, and at no point would you have to "learn a new computer language" to get a wireless card working (unless you didn't know C, and you wanted to write a device driver...)
- UNL1M1T3D, on 10/29/2007, -0/+10I would really like to see something on the live CD making it easier to restore GRUB and also scan for errors and repair them. Kind of like how you can run a chkdsk from the Windows install CD.
- mcmlxxii, on 10/31/2007, -0/+10I think you've pretty much hit on Gutsy's main problem - in trying to GUIfy elements of the config 7.10 has fallen between 2 stools; the GUIs aren't polished enough yet. New users are confronted with an interface that either doesn't work or worse breaks things while experienced users used to chopping around in the back are left wondering if the GUIs are somehow screwing with their familiar settings.
I love 7.10, I've got it working fine, and the improvements to wireless and printing to name but two are excellent. I think Gutsy is basically a test bed for all the features that will end up in Hardy - by then I'm optimistic that the polish will be there, and scanning down the list for Hardy I have to say 8.04 should be a belter. - renegadeafk, on 10/29/2007, -0/+9I have heard it is going to be orange/black
- Sparkster185, on 10/31/2007, -4/+12You should take a extensive English less sometime.
- nwoolls, on 10/29/2007, -4/+12I'd say they need to work on more than the looks. I love Ubuntu and have it on my wife's laptop (she prefers it to XP). That said I've had many problems with 7.10. I still can't get WPA or WPA2 working on the laptop. I installed it on my desktop and the restricted drivers for my 7800 did not work (reverted to the generic VESA driver). Using Envy kind of got things working, but still required more tweaks after the fact. Using the Screens dialog I was unable to get either my screen resolution or dual monitor support working properly. I had to use nvidia-settings. Finally, I found that the desktop effects are not compatible with Xinerama at all - I had to use TwinView, which seems inferior. I could no longer drag windows from one screen to another.
I was happier when I tried the previous version. I had to do all of the above manually, but it worked. None of the new "out of the box" features of 7.10 have worked for me at all. - antitab, on 10/31/2007, -1/+8Which is fine, because they've progressed incredibly since the last LTS (6.06) – indexed search (Tracker), UI compositing (Compiz-Fusion), restricted drivers manager, automated codec management... they've really brought Ubuntu into the realm of next-gen operating systems since Dapper. Polishing up this killer package will be the icing. Hardy is stepping up to the plate as a feature-comparable alternative to Vista and Leopard.
- inactive, on 10/31/2007, -1/+8Is it just me or does anyone else like talking like a pirate when it comes to 8.04 Hardy?
- jdhore1, on 10/30/2007, -0/+7It won't, at least by default on Kubuntu...It may be in the Kubuntu repos though...KDE4 (a HUGE release) is only being released 4-5 months before Ubuntu repo freeze and especially for a LTS release, it's still gonna be way too buggy and neither the KDE crew or the Ubuntu crew will be able to fix all the bugs in time.
- dave11388, on 10/29/2007, -0/+8This is the release schedule
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule - emorphien, on 10/31/2007, -9/+15I don't care what they do, I just hope 8.04 works better than 7.10. 7.10 has been problem after problem and a really big step back compared to 7.04. I'm probably going to revert back soon.
- gavintlgold, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6By the way, Envy is really not a good idea since it can break upgrades, etc. (think of it like you think of automatix)
- inactive, on 10/31/2007, -2/+8No one is a big fan of brown. Even MS learnt their less with the Zune.
- GMorgan, on 10/31/2007, -0/+5Which is interesting because I had endless stability problems with 7.04 which seem to be fixed in 7.10.
- b166er01, on 10/29/2007, -0/+5judging by your nickname, is the reproduction system all you think about?
- makario, on 09/03/2009, -0/+5I believe ndisgtk does something like this.
- kaskoosek, on 11/11/2007, -5/+10-Make Ubuntu run cooler and less noisy than XP.
I do not know if this can be done, but it is a major concern for me. I do not want to become sterile. - jonshipman, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5a better name than Ubuntu 8.04?
- Ademan, on 10/30/2007, -2/+7What? I'd take even the default crap brown and barf orange theme over any other GUI on the market today (and with the clearlooks theme it's miles ahead of anything else), and i know i'm not alone on that one. Hardware support is indeed an issue, ironically, that's mostly up to the kernel which you praised. And a lack of standardized install packages? What? apt and dpkg together make one of the best package managers out there. If you're talking about LSB (linux system base), they support that too, or autopackage, which i believe ANYTHING really supports. I'm curious what exactly you're talking about.
- kazamx, on 10/29/2007, -1/+5Whats wrong with ubuntu 8.04? If your refering to their development name of hardy heron then please go check out the development names of Microsoft Windows, which are just as dumb.
- dhughes, on 10/31/2007, -2/+6 My request is simple, make it so you don't have to wave your mouse pointer over a button twice before it highlights and you can click it like in Synaptic when the Search button doesn't work. There are several others, yeah I know I really should write all this down and submit a bug report.
- Ademan, on 10/31/2007, -2/+6That's probably perfect, because like a lot of people were saying, gutsy was pretty messy.
- armo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4Long Horn???
- JohnFlux, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4Did you actual look at the article? The vast majority of thing were fixes rather than new features.
- Chandon, on 11/11/2007, -1/+5Why can't *you* get 7.10 working? It works great for 99.9+% of users.
- Chandon, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4What do you think a Windows Vista + All Apps for Windows upgrades forum would look like? There will always be a ton of problems with an OS upgrade - and most users will run into none of them. Personally, Gutsy has worked great for me on the 5 computers I use / supervise - two of those machines are completely non-technical users who did the upgrade in 1 click and haven't complained about any complications at all.
- dmh11686, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4I wish they would make gnome-vfs viewable across all applications, it seems like a rather obvious thing to do.
- crazybrit, on 10/29/2007, -0/+4Come to think of it, I think it would be awesome to have a whole autumn theme going, like orange, brown, and dark red.
- Chandon, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3Why are you posting that on Digg? What good could you possibly expect to come from doing so?
- hikaricore, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3If in-fact /home is on a different partition, you do not need to format it.
Only the root partition needs formating. - emorphien, on 11/11/2007, -9/+12amen to that, Gutsy is a big mess. It seems like anyone who got it working right first shot is just lucky as hell.
- kahrn, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3Windows 98 looking GUI?
I don't get it.. if you think it looks like windows 98 then something is seriously wrong with either your eyes or monitor. Perhaps the CD you burned is corrupt.. or perhaps it wasn't even ubuntu you booted!
Really though.. how an earth does it look like windows 98? Have you even used windows 98? -
