Lovely!
Ubuntu Hardy Heron (V 8.04) is now available on the official release servers!
As the last time; roll up your sleeves and help seeding the files! Don’t forget to configure that Quality of Service in your router! I attached the torrent files for Hardy Heron if the servers become unavailable.
Enjoy!
If you haven’t - You should visit Ubuntu Brainstorm and vote for the features you want to include in Ubuntu!
In my previous post I requested you to help and seed the new Ubuntu Gutsy release. After having my torrent client seeding for some hours I realized that my DSL connection (8Mbit/1Mbit) wasn’t as keen as I was on the high network load it created. It made my computer almost unusable.
Luckily my router running the Tomato firmware had great support for Quality Of Service. I set it up according to the screen shots below and the network problems went away. It might be worth looking into!
Tomato: QoS - Basic Settings
Tomato: QoS - Classifications
Tomato: QoS - Graphs
I’m not sure if I managed to set it up properly so all comments are appreciated!
Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon is released today so head over to the download page (official mirror, Swedish mirror) and help seed this lovely release via BitTorrent!
If the Ubuntu web servers doesn’t respond you can download an archive with all torrent files here instead.
I run a 14″ build in monitor on my laptop (1024×768) and a 17″ external monitor (1280×1024). I would like to use only the external monitor when I’m at home and the laptop monitor when I’m not. Getting this to play nice has always been a problem in any Linux distribution I have ever tried.
But today I did a dist-upgrade on my Ubuntu Gutsy laptop and for the first time the resolution on my external monitor just popped up in the correct resolution. This is fabulous! I just booted it up and off it went; with the correct resolution. Even the quick buttons (fn-f7) did toggle the monitors on and off as supposed.
Well we are getting there! Believe me! Good work on all you Ubuntu/Xorg/Xserv/Open Source developers!
Update: When I booted my computer today it didn’t really recognize the resolution correct but instead tried to auto configure it. Surprise! It didn’t really work but to my great enjoyment it put up the failsafe X where I could adjust the screen resolution and I was fine to go again. Not perfect but a lot better than before so I’m still happy!
