Thread: Ubuntu 9.10 Is The Karmic Koala

So the good news is, boot will be beautiful. The bad news is, you won't have long to appreciate it!

The desktop will have a designer's fingerprints all over it - we're now beginning the serious push to a new look. Brown has served us well but the Koala is considering other options. Come to UDS for a preview of the whole new look.

OMG 9.04 isnt even out yet, already looking forward to 9.10 !

Top things to look for:

1. Beautiful Boot.
2. Login Experience.
3. Shiny New Theme.

eh, 'Humping hippo' actually sounds quite derogatory

Does it work with e-mu1212m out of the box? Are there are indeed any professional cards supported at all bit-depths and sampling rates, by Alsa or OSS?

I guess not, I wonder when the open-source community will focus on driver support over enhancements. Until then, they are the Pondering Panda in my book - exotic and nearly extinct. You can't on the world's desktop if you don't support hardware that's in their boxes.

When wil they quit having these minor changes, and come out with something that really changes the ubuntu experience for the better..

When it comes to the desktop, Ubuntu 9.10 will likely integrate Plymouth. Plymouth is the wonderful project developed by Red Hat to replace RHGB as the boot splash program. Plymouth was introduced with Fedora 10 and uses kernel mode-setting (on supported drivers/hardware) to provide a clean and flicker-free experience. Plymouth also has a number of plug-ins and other capabilities that makes it an excellent replacement for USplash. More information on this project can be found in A closer look at Red Hat's Plymouth. We previously reported on plans for Plymouth integration in Ubuntu 9.10.

Big deal..everything else remains the same?
The user interface?
Really, a simple theme pack can give all these results why bother with a whole new release and a fancy name?
You hear abt a new release and get all excited and end up with crap improvements like these..

^^What do you meant by minor changes ? A whole new subsystem [kernel , gnome ] and lots of bug fixes and new boot system as mentioned.. Thats more than enough for new released

As far as interface goes you won't get a new interface before Gnome 3.0

Oh so a new release just for less flickering in the boot screen..No one cares for a new boot screen system, it adds nothing to the functionality, its called beating around the bush..
I know im not helping by ranting, but then this is getting irritating..When there are basic things that can be made easier, all they can think of is boot screen..
Its stupid, senseless..

The kernel and gnome release can be had via an update also..

The kernel and genome release can be had via an update also..

You can upgrade the entire system over an update , you dont have to install it again

Nice UBuntu is gonna rule the OS world soon heheh may be may be not but..linux rules man..
