New Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid"

I am really kind of getting into this whole Ubuntu / Linux thing. October 31st Canonical Ltd. released a new edition of Ubuntu a Linux based OS for computers called Intrepid Ibx Ver. 8.10 for desktops. I was using the older version 8.04 Hardy Haron and was happy with that. So this weekend I took the plunge I backed up everything in my "Home Folder" And ran the update. Things did not go well with the update once it was done I had no video unless I started up in "Failsafe Mode" I gave up on trying to get the update to work and did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 because after all I had backed up EVERYTHING in my "Home Folder" So there was no need to worry about losing anything.

Once I did a clean install things seemed to work just fine and as a matter of fact I had to do far less playing around with things to get them to work. Video play back with 8.10 seems much better and also a sound issue I was having is gone. And after some more reading I found out if I had followed directions durning the update that the update it self would have worked fine. But you know us men we don't read direction unless we are about to break something and even then we might go ahead and break what ever it is we are working on. After all we are men who needs direcions LOL.


Everyone have a great day! & great week!
