Just upgraded from 10.04 to the Maverick RC. Apart from messed up trackpad configuration on my MacBook Air and the new font requiring some time getting used to, seems fine.
Will you upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 tonight?

#22No, I'll stick with the LTS version a while. So far I've seen nothing compelling in 10.10 anyway. A few cosmetic changes, and maybe a few others I can upgrade individually in 10.04.
I'm sticking with LTS too. Seems like new kernel+x.org have some problems with non-intel graphic cards. Now Ati works, NV doesn't. I tried the RC on my notebook, didn't notice any changes.
Yeah. I'm using 10.10RC and when I upgraded, my dual-screen monitor setup (nvidia card) didn't work with my old config. I eventually dropped my config and let it make its own.
Then it was -very- prone to crashing. I just finally fixed it by disabling one of the screens today. At least, I think it is. It's extremely hard to track down because it happens almost randomly. But it definitely started when I upgraded.

#23My desktop's been on 10.10 since early September, my first go at a beta release.
One the whole I don't think I'd do it again; there's been at least two showstopping bugs. To be fair, one of those (ATI driver incompatibility with new X server version, from what I understand) probably won't be fixed in the final release either.

#24Since I discovered Slackware I will never go back to Ubuntu or Debian.
I'm the other way around. 10 years ago I was quite happy configuring every little bit to pieces, spending days to get X11 to work properly with some weird graphics card. Now, I enjoy being able to install the (Linux) OS on a new laptop, and everything Just Works.
I guess I'm just old...

#25I have recently switched from 95% Ubuntu + 5% Vista to 100% Ubuntu. My system is pretty "green" to worry about possible problems. I am looking forward to try upgrading tonight

#27I would suggest folk don't upgrade to it.
They are releasing with a beta version of an Nvidia driver that they switched to only this week. I've been running the 10.10 beta since it was announced, and this beta driver black-screens here unfortunately. I have to run an older driver via a manual install from Nvidia for things to work; the Ubuntu team do not provide an option for this.
Even if this problem doesn't affect you, a lot of folk are having 100% cpu issues for some display operations. I can hit this by simply scrolling in a terminal window.
Some machines will also fail to suspend. A hack has been made to grub to help with this, but it might also be necessary to add custom parameters to the grub kernel lines. I'm having to use "acpi_sleep=nonvs" so that suspend works.
In addition, there is a bug that can cause pulseaudio to hit 100% (on one processor, these days) when unpluggging some USB audio devices. Yup, got that one too.
This is the worst release I've experienced on Ubuntu. I've used it since 5.10. This same machine worked flawlessly on 10.04.
I get the impression that they were going to release on 10/10/10 regardless of issues. It would take balls not to release it at this point, but that would be the appropriate thing to do. I don't believe it's ready. We'll see.

#28Not me. I'm still on 8.04 :/
Same here. For most things it makes little difference, but over time I'm finding that some apps I want to install are rather stubborn about their dependencies.
So I have a dated vlc, a dated Amarok, etc.
I want to update, but I need to do a solid disk image backup of my laptop first in case shit happens.
I've been running 9.x or 10.x or so on my desktop, with Trinity KDE3, and have been pretty happy with it; hibernation started working after a somewhat recent kernel update. :)

#29I wont be upgrading upon release mainly because the servers always get slammed as soon as a new release comes out. However I'm not all that excited about the new version anyway, i'm sure there is plenty nice new small things that'll make it better in some way but theres no major new thing that will get me to upgrade. Eventually i'll upgrade at some point, but no rush.
That's what the BitTorrent release is for. It actually gets faster as more people try to download…

#30I've already upgraded my laptop and file server to the 10.10 RC, and upgraded the few packages that changed between the RC release date and now. Haven't encountered any issues so far.
