Today is the final release of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon the version
designated as 7.10, the most stable release of Ubuntu for
October 2007.
I started the upgrade process by opening my upgrade manager and
looks like it is going to be an all night session of download.
Everybody who had the chance to preview the beta and alpha versions
are excited and praised the new features which should solidify the
improvements already included in Feisty Fawn. Ubuntu has another
winner with Gutsy Gibbon.
If this works on my computer after the install, you'll hear all about
it in the morning. Or not. The estimated download time is from
10 to 14 hours. See you tomorrow. I leave the computer on to
download the upgrade because this is important.
It did not go as planned. Somewhere down the fetching process
my upgrade stopped. I reset the download and finished it when
I got home at 7 in the evening. When I reboot, the fresh install
did not recognize my graphics card and it shows me the log in
page in the wrong resolution. Houston, we have a problem!
I decided to download an iso of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and finish
that first. Then backup all my data. Do a clean install. I should
have done it this way anyway but I was too lazy.
I have the Gutsy Gibbon in my personal computer and it looks
snazzy. It's fast. I have to put in most of my old stuff and that's
the real job here. Putting it all back. I wish there was an easier
way to go about it. I also lost some email and documents. That
was my fault. I knew I had to tinker with the hard drive so I
should have performed a backup at the latest time.
