Ubuntu 11.04

Well I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 Beta and it runs great and I did not think I would be but I am a huge fan of this Unity UI. I also have to say I like how they are using better application now like banshee and shotwell.

I decided to upgrade to 11.04. I have an LG tv as my monitor and when I turn on my computer it shows the black bios screen and the loading operating system screen but then it goes to a invalid format screen. If I unplug the cable from the computer and replug it in its fine. I don't want to have to do this all the time so hopefully it will be fixed.

Sounds like it's trying to boot into a resolution your tv doesn't support. Try setting the resolution to something your TV supports and set it as default.
 
^^ I went back to 10.10 for now. I'm pretty sure your right. Its weird I couldn't get anything to show up on the screen then I pushed esc or enter and plugged the monitor back it and it seemed to work.

Ubuntu is desktop operating system which was introduced by Linux. Linux published this OS to introduced Linux OS to all. Because Microsoft provide more user friendly operating system to user. This ubuntu is nice OS and provide nice speed to do work and give user account and system security.

Lol, thank you for that insight.
 
I'll stick with 10.10 until the official release. I'll leave Beta releases to the rest of you!

I'd only install a Beta if I was having a particular issue and wanted to find out if that issue was fixed.

agreed. I'd also give it try if there was some new upgrade or chang
I'll stick with mint.:)
 
I haven't tried Ubuntu with Unity yet but did kick the tires of Fedora 15 beta with Gnome3. To soon for me to comment on functionality but it's pretty cool. :)
 
I have been using 11.04 for about a week and I must say I am very impressed. I think it was much needed in the sense that Ubuntu was looking like a majority of Linux Flavors and in order to seperate and become unique they need a new U/I, and Unity brings ease of use for any type of user to be happy with.

The majority of what makes distro unique is the backend. You can pretty much take one distro and make it look identical to another, but it's what's under the hood that sets them apart. Theoritically though, you can take one distro and turn it into another :P
 
I am aware that they are different under the hood, but what I was more getting at is Ubuntu has put out there that they are trying to become the next OS to be sold in stores and by major computer manufactures. In order for them to do this they needed to use a different and easier to use U/I for the users that no nothing about computers cause lets face it when it comes to them they would think that Ubuntu and Fedora are the same when they are very different.

Ubuntu is working on being the easiest OS to use.
 
Having problems getting a bootable disc for various reasons-- either the downloads are corrupt (despite having a valid md5) or burning the image to CD is going wrong... latest disc says there's no valid live OS on it.
 
Just installed via Wubi. Works with my wireless card, and Unity...I'm speechless...I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they md5 sums are good then it's probably somethng else. Are you burning the ISO as a bootable image? Have you tried using a removable media device to install it?

The disc boots... but then things go to hell.

If I try to go into manual mode and perform a disc integrity check and it grinds away for a while and then says it can't find a live operating system. If I leave it to boot on its own, it eventually gets to the same point.

This is 11.04-amd64.

I am going to download it one more time, and the 11.04-i386 as well, verify the md5 sums on both and then see if maybe my laptop is just not compatible with the 64-bit version.

I am running 10.04-amd64 right now, so I am doubting that is the problem.
 
Sorry to hear your install problems Dngrsone cause this is in my opinion the best ubuntu release so far with U/I and package selection. M$ better be careful cause if Ubuntu continues to become more user friendly and compatible with software and mobile devices PC builders might start to looked into using them for a primary OS to give users that more powerful, stable, secure and easier to use OS.
 
Thanks, man. I am looking forward to exploring Unity...

I have both downloads complete and their md5 sums are correct, so I will try to burn a couple more CDs this afternoon.

We'll see if I can at least get a live trial in by the end of the day, though I work today so I may not find enough time to do so.
 
If you have a valid md5 match then the problem isn't the files, it is your burner or something is corrupting them after you modify the files. Run a md5 check on the files after you modify them in any way and see what happens.

Also, try running the 32bit version there could be some incompatibilities with the kernel and your specific hardware configuration.
 
I downloaded it yesterday and I'm having the same problems as Dngrsone. I have burned it multiple times on different computers at different speeds. Still getting errors that the installer crashed shortly after hitting install. It says there is some input/output error.

I'm about to try Linux Mint 10 hoping that it will better support my 6950. I can't get it to work in Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10.
 
When I get home, Ill try to download it and see if I get these errors. May be a server error somewhere between you and them, who knows.
