Upgraded to Ubuntu Hardy

*reeftool* · 04-29-2008, 11:18 AM

I just upgraded my Linux box to Ubuntu Hardy Heron and most things are working ok. The fonts are different and it installed Firefox Beta 5 and I lost a couple of extensions that weren't compatable. UFRaw works but F Spot photo viewer crashed. Any other Ubuntu users upgraded yet?

i used 7.04 for a month, but hardware issues turned me off. i usually try to try each version to see if they've fixed my issues, but don't seem to be corrected. on fully compatible systems, it's a great piece of software. never tried any of the photo software on it however.

I just went to Hardy Heron. Some of the big pluses for me were:

Full compatibility with my tablet's mouse (in 7.04 and .10, the scroll wheel on the mouse got reversed, and I had to run a homebrew script to fix it whenever I booted up.)

Better file copy progress bars

Came with a new version of the GIMP- my Ubuntu box isn't Internet-connected, so I basically only get new software when it comes with a system upgrade

You should try RawTherapee for your convertor- it's NICE and I've found it works a lot faster than UFRaw if you use it right.
