Ubuntu 7.04 'Fiesty Fawn' Released

[vignesh]

Feisty doesn`t boot on mine.. It even recognizes my ata hdd as sata.. There is already a bug filed on this.. Till then I`ll use Sabayon 3.26 I guess

However I`m currently dual booting it with Sabayon that works.

I too encountered the same problem.the reason may be libata(old) merged from 2.6.19
see the thread:

kernel-2.6.19 onwards CD/DVD IDE drives are detected as SCSI/SATA like /dev/scd0

Offtopic, but why don't you upgrade to sabayon 3.3? Lots of nice things. Well I guess that sda thing will be there in sabayon 3.3 too since it uses kernel 2.6.20.

Downloading...

upgrading to kubuntu 7.04 over ubuntu 6.10 via alternate cd.. is that valid/possible??

yeah it's easy , just add the CD as a source in synaptic , then select upgrade n it'll install all latest packages from 7.04 cd , or you could add cd with

apt-cdrom

n then issue

apt-get  dist-upgrade

 

[mehulved]

apt-get upgrade

Wouldn't that be dist-upgrade?

 

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

[Pathik]

[gxsaurav]

oh...k, redownloaded the ISO still the same problem. Now searching for Old VMWare version in archives

 

[eddie]

You mean windows 2000/XP as guest or host?
Anyways it's a good thing and let's hope it advances fast.

As guest. 3D support in Linux as host is not supported yet.

ok one Question abt vmware. i see that vmware now has 2 products for us users: vmware server (which is free) and vmware workstation (which is not). will downloading vmware server suffice to create a virtual machine. will it support all of my resources (dvd/as much ram/lan/sound)? been a looooooong time since i used vmware and there was only workstation at that time.

well i think VMware Server is not free , it's VMware Player that is , n also the amount of hardware depends on the settings of the VMware image u r playing , i f the creator has enabled cd/dvd drives , etc , u'll have em else , u can't change virtual system config with the player , u need the workstation to do that .

 

[mehulved]

VMware server is free of cost. It can use optical disks. You can connect to the internet. RAM can be changed to suit your needs. Sound I have been unabled to get working due to missing vmware tools but I think it does work if you install vmware tools. But, I don't feel like searching for it cos I don't really require sound in virtual machine.

 

[vignesh]

Using a virtual machine is the best way to try a new Operating system.. qemu on Linux is nice too..
