Ubuntu 9.04 update

QuickImage Category None
Just a quick note to the people out there taking advantage of the one click update from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, make sure you don't have "auto logon" enabled, if you do, you stand a huge chance of happily screwing up your install (you will get lots of permission denied errors against /dev/null when you launch a xsession, even if your ctrl-Alt-F1 in and reset the security to "666" from "600" the darn thing resets on reboot (and anyway you just get a blank screen even if you get it (ie by ctrl-Alt-f7) to get back to xsession login,


....so carful carful party people

.. P.S. to the Mac boys out there laughing, i rebuilt in 14 mins (after backup), and i did not have to go to a "genius bar" to fix my problem...so RASSSSSSP!!

I had an IBM'er showing me how he can make his Ubuntu theme look just like a Mac....made me laugh, just get a Mac you cheapskate !!

Gravatar Image2 - Oooooops thanks for the warning. I was thinking of upgrading AND I do have auto-logon enabled.

What's your opinion on 9.04 so far Mark?

Gravatar Image3 - Yes, that's me :p

Gravatar Image4 - @Pedro 9.04 feels more polished than previous version and even better hardware support, i have not tried it with vmware, but my media machines are running it just fine, all in all recomended

Gravatar Image5 - Yeah but we don't have to rebuild Emoticon
