Upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

I have admittedly put it off for way too long. The recent OpenSSL Vulnerability with weak keys prompted me to change that on one of my systems. I was forced to use dist-upgrade when OpenSSL would not update, leaving me to continuously recreating weak keys. While I normally update packages using the command line, I [...]

Updates for KDE4 Reveal Fewer Crashes and The Same Big Problems

Monday, March 24, 2008

There’s been many updates to KDE4, and while spending another day with KDE4 yesterday, I was relieved to find many of the segfaults and KDE crash errors had been resolved. I was disappointed to not be able to find any way of saving my session for KDE4, other than it saving my previous session. I [...]

It has been a month since I last wrote about Kubuntu, and there have been some promising updates. First, the update to Hardy Alpha 6 puts us one milestone closer to the first beta release.  While today is supposed to be the Beta Release, I’m still awaiting for an announcement on the official home page.

Kubuntu LTS Put On Hold for Hardy Heron

Sunday, December 30, 2007

There’s been a great rift with the Canonical Community as of late surrounding Kubuntu. The update from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.0 is such a great shift that Canonical feels they’re unable to commit to Long Term Support for Kubuntu 8.04. Frankly, I don’ blame them. This is a pretty good move for them as [...]

Hardy Heron Alpha 2 Bugs and Fixes

Sunday, December 30, 2007

I tried out the new Hardy Heron Alpha 2 release of Kubuntu today and was kind of disappointed and kind of pleased. The wireless card, a broadcomm based 43xx Dell 1390 adapter still is not automatically installed properly. I didn’t bother getting it to work because I was disappointed the scroll function doesn’t work with [...]

Init: Error parsing configuration no such file or directory

Friday, December 21, 2007

I recently got a new Dell laptop, an Inspiron 1520. It came pre-loaded of course with Vista. I of course wanted Kubuntu on it, and that’s been an adventure.
Now… first things first. I setup the notebook using Vista and made sure that everything worked. Fortunately, everything worked… and worked perfectly.
Next, I moved into using GParted/CloneZilla [...]

Hardy Heron Coming Soon

Thursday, December 6, 2007

With the release of Hardy Heron’s Alpha1 ISO, I thought it wise to check the release schedule as I’m trying to get a friend switched, and he’s got the Feisty disk. I did get the Kubuntu Hardy disk burned for him.
Having two computers, I’m ready to begin testing Hardy on one of them… I think… [...]
