arctic Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 The response is - as you can see in the various threads - so far very positive. Congrats to the developers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aye, that's my experience as well. What I'm happy with is it's much more stable than edgy and you can enable beryl with two commands. Compiz users can just enable compiz with a click. My USB mobilephone transmitter is working, havn't done that in previous releases of Ubuntu or any other distro I've tested/tried on my spare place.

I'm not sure you are both on the same page? :unsure: or, am I the one who is on the wrong page? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well, I was definitely responding to adamw. but I guess AI has not read Adams post and got confused. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 The usual "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" over kubuntu failed, because package rhythmbox is borked. I tried four different apt mirrors, all of them have a broken rhythmbox. I guess I could wait a few hours/days to get that one fixed, but I deleted the virtual machine. (K)Ubuntu is extremely boring for my taste, and I'm afraid not 100% polished for a total newbie. That one will be better served by Mandriva, PCLOS or Mepis. It's a very good distro, but I liked it less than 6.10... it's steadily heading the opposite way than the one I have geared towards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I stand with my words, we have overwhelming positive response on Feisty. I'll also send a congrats to mandriva for their release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Does anyone know if the wireless thing with broadcom cards was simplified in ubuntu in this release? I've just tested this with the Broadcom 4318. All you have to do is sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter and sudo modprobe bcm43xx or reboot. Set up your wireless with the gui, and you're on line.

jlc Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Good release, except suspend worked and didn't work over and over through beta and final was released with NO WORKY, that is my only complaint. I like things like this too. sudo aptitude install netbeans5.5-platform netbeans5.5-doc netbeans5.5 These are pretty good, some of the performance things don't work, but some things are good settings. http://lunapark6.com/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn.html (screenshots pretty tasteless imo) http://xlntsolution.blogspot.com/2007/03/f...-butterfly.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
