Thread for those taking the plunge.

[3vi1]

Just about everything is working for me with gutsy (everything except the longstanding compiz/beryl vs. Yakuake issue), so I think it's time to totally FUBAR my system again with a jump to the bleeding edge.

I'm not sure why I'm doing this, other than I have better than average luck finding/fixing problems and don't mind filing bug reports. Then again, why do any of us do it? It's all in the name of progress!

AMD64X2 4400+, NVidia 7600GT, multiple sound cards.... etc etc.

Wish me luck!

I'm coming too, just straddling the fence a little

Great to see you guys coming along for the ride! (assuming Dibl is coming too <G>)

I only had one problem with the update, so far, slocate gave me all sorts of errors. I purged and re-installed the package and see no issues so far. I checked, and the slocate problem already has a bug-report against it... so I'm feeling pretty good about Hardy so far.

No problems so far... I held my breath during the reboot, but it came up fast and does not appear to have any new problems.

I think I'll get my enjoyment vicariously for awhile, by admiring the progress of the true early adopters!

I'll be rooting for you, though -- you and the Bucks, of course.

Go team! Ra, ra, hoot, hoot!

Yup, gotta say I'll be in the grandstand along with dibl, enjoying the show (and taking notes!).

I've taken the plunge as well

Re: Thread for those taking the plunge.

I did the upgrade thing. everything went smooth as far as i can tell. i have the same slocate problem and i noticed that kuickshow gives me a scrambled screen. as far as i can tell, everything else works. much better than my first edgy to feisty upgrade. so much for " if it ain't broke...."

Multi-booting and GParted are your friends. And hard drive capacity.

Kcontrol is still empty and kdesudo still doesn't work properly. Changes are not taken over.

Otherwise HH seems to be running along just fine for now

running pretty smoothly except:
Monitor&Display in System Settings not working yet
Kcontrol empty (sort of); kcmshell --list echoes nothing; yet calling kcmshell privacy, for instance, works
unable to install nvidia restricted drivers (showstopping at the moment - nv would make x jump over 60%)

And you can count me in! It's so boring when everything just works, I need to be on 'the bleeding edge' as its such a challenge I think!

Have you installed fresh or upgraded, I seem to have no such problems on two of my upgraded-from-gutsy machines?

That could make a difference. my HH is a fresh install.
