• Overall it is nice. But is there any plan to improve Adept. It is no where near Synaptic. It doesn't display several apt-get confirmation messages, slower at searching package index, lacks facility to remove unnecessary packages which were installed along with others which have been removed now.

• absolutely great, nice ideas, i am really keen on trying the kopete-flashlight -- Malvin

• best kubuntu to date! wow! can't wait to get my hands on the final release though that's still a couple of months away one issue though - I downloaded alpha 1 originally and kept updating (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) the tasty menu never showed up. In the end people upgrading from gutsy might experience the same issue or maybe it's just me that ran into it ... but that's a minor "problem"! -- ANDREA

• Just doing it live with Alpha 2. It works on this computer unlike anything later than Edgy (thanks to TTY SATA/IDE etc. problem)! The updated window decoration looks good, better than Gutsy's. I can"t see the tasty menu either? It needs to be enabled somewhere? But so far very good, 2nd Alpha, better than I expected! But with the bug gone (hopefully and apparently) that Feisty and Gutsy has is the greatest news! -- ToniHelenius 2007-12-23 22:01:27

• I tried the Live CD, and in the K menu / Lost & Found there are a lot of applications:

  • 

    • and if I open Kcontrol, the applications list is empty! --francesko
• I let my parents install Hardy Alpha2 from LiveCD on our old laptop and jot down the most important obstacles/confusions:
  • During the installation we formatted the complete disk, and (because it is still a running LiveCD) a popup appeared over all windows "new media found" - no one knows what to do there.

  • We had no internet connection during installation, so a message came up "Cannot access http://security.ubuntu.com", and as a result ALL package sources where commented in /etc/apt/sources.list

  • At the end of install process one is asked to restart the computer, but there is only an Okay button. An additonal restart button would be great

  • The whole partitioning menu was a bit confusing, even I expected sth different behind the various options and had to try&error

  • The whole installation process needs a bit more explanation, like "what do we want to do here (like time zone, partioning) and why)

  • language selection & installation is tricky in general. I discovered that nice language-selector-qt tool, but it is nowhere in the K-Menu, and only magic knows why the exec is called qt-language-selector.

  • calling "kcontrol" directly doesn't work!

  • I personally don't like the standard empty folders Music/Pictures/templates/... but I guess there already was a big discussion on that

  • Well, that's all! Everything else works fine till now. Great job as always, thx guys! Hope these comments helped someone -- AlphaBlue52

Some notes from VeGeek:

1. It will be better to add KVpnc - not all users can configure VPN by hand. Or try to do something with Network Manager.

2. Oh, it isnt possible to configure routes in System Settings, its simple to configure them in /etc/network/interfaces, but not all users can do it.

3. GUIDance`s DisplayConfig still sucks... It will be better to replace it with hm... KXgenerator.

I also noticed all the programs in Lost & Found - and in fact, they were there before the install - they were present on the LiveCD. Couple of other points: 1. During the install it asked me if I wanted to mount the newly formatted hard drive. I clicked no and it finished the install just fine. I never noticed any offer to mount before and I assume it's wrong. 2. When I first logged in, the adept-updater wanted to download and install a bunch of packages. It downloaded them but wouldn't install (it gave a message that installing would break packages). When I tried an apt-get upgrade from the command line, it gave this error:

• E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libstdc++6

To get it to install I had to do

• sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

which worked, and then the sudo apt-get upgrade worked after that. 3. I don't know if this is a problem or not, but it sounds like it should eventually be fixed.. I saw this during the upgrade:

• Preparing to replace nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu7 (using .../nvidia-kernel-common_20051028+1ubuntu8_all.deb) ...

All in all, nice work. Looking forward to the release. -- MitchGolden 2008-01-04 07:01:50
