WARNING

• Post known issues here

• (almost) no support for ATI graphics card + KDE desktop effects (fglrx doesn't work with Jaunty's xserver, bug 313027 , and there are reports of open source drivers being very slow).

• New NVIDIA drivers (180.35) causes problems. Logout or shutdown from inside KDE does not work.http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=128992

  • I think this is resolved with driver version 180.37 - dave-stfu
• Nvidia 64 computer chipsets still cannot boot kernel without pci=nomsi option
• Plasma from the liveCD crashes: Use the install option from the bootmenue and update from commandline after installation.

• Connection to non-broadcasting (hidden SSID) wireless networks with the network-manager widget isn't possible bug 330811

• Great Job everybody so far. 9.04 will be a great release if this tempo continues.
• Everybody in the Kubuntu-Team and KDE-Team the previews are very very promising. Keep the motivation high and the Wow-Effect is sure. Honestly I checked out many windows-managers, but the new KDE is a dream. Hope Nvidia and Ati will support us better and ext4 is patched for the usual Users-Desktops till to the Final of 9.04. So all our dreams comes true ... - scholli
• Nice release, but there are a few problems for me (hope this is the right place to report them):
• The new plasmoid-network-manager has some graphical glitches, which causes trouble: The lower part of each section is cut off, so e.g. I can only see one out of three wireless networks
• Log out doesn't work, instead of kdm I get only a black screen (intel gfx card) - tom
• any plan to update the artwork with respect to the default KDE4 look? A customization would give a more professional impression to new users. Thanks for the nice job - gian
• If this great work continues, the 9.04 release would become the first really useful KDE 4 based release for me. Still missing wireless (non-broadcasting) connectivity and a systemsettings applet for controlling daemons other than the KDE 4 services. Keep up the nice work guys - christiansen
• Great Job everybody so far. Please don't use adept as standard package manager - in comparison to Synaptic its awful complicated to use it as normal user. It would be great if 9.04 becomes a distro everybody can use again - after a far from perfect 8.10 version (a lot of missing translations and even more bugs). I would like to recommend it again to friends and family - keep on working.

• I tried installing this on my old Sony Vaio PCG-XG19. Kubuntu worked fine on it until alpha 5, but now plasma is crashing and will not start. I am trying to figure out more about what might be going wrong and will post a bug when I do. Also, I notice that the time zone page on the installer doesn't work as well as the one in alpha 5 - what was the change? I don't seem to be able to set my computer to be on India time; I was able to in alpha 5. (I am not in India, but plenty of people are!) I have to say that Amarok 2 still has a ways to go before it is as simple and easy to use as the KDE 3.5 version. -- mgolden 2009-03-16 03:29:34

• Looks nice! nm-plasmoid for president! Got some graphics issues with intel 915GM and the 2.6.1 driver. Some parts of menuebars aren't painted again sometimes, so you see parts ofthe plasmadesktop within a application. Any plans to update the intel driver to 2.7.x? -- freinhard 2009-03-16 15:49:56
