Hello edubuntu world, A little later than the other Ubuntu flavours as usual, the Edubuntu team is happy to announce the third milestone CD image in the Dapper development cycle.
Europe: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-3/ United Kingdom, and the rest of the world: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-3/ Please download using BitTorrent if possible, and see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive for other mirrors. Apart from the notable changes in this release that apply to all Ubuntu flavours, noted in: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-January/000048.html the following additional enhancements have gone into this CD images: - Support for Sound on LTSP clients. Sound can now be played separately on each client, and does not play centrally on the server anymore. - Edubuntu specific artwork is now visible, although this will still refined and amended before the actual release. - Small improvements in Support for multiple architectures for the LTSP clients. (see the flight 2 announcement for more details) - Small improvements for faster boot process of the thin clients. Known issues (beyond the ones stated in the Ubuntu flight 3 announcement linked above): - All CDs failed test installs due to a locales issue -this was worked around by dropping postgresql temporary to make the install finish, if you need the SQL engine, please install it afterwards - The PowerPC liveCD is currently broken for ubuntu as a whole, the PowerPC install CD also still fails during LTSP setup in the install, please skip this step and go on with the install as usual (or use the workstation variant) - Due to a problem with the locale settings paired with a bug in bringing up the network interfaces, the install still fails in languages other than English. If your system is connected to the Internet, please use the Language Selector after installation to download language packs. If you are interested in following changes as we further develop Dapper, have a look at the dapper-changes list: http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/dapper-changes We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you are interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events. Future Flight CD announcements may only go to this list. http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce The Testing area of the wiki suggests various tests that can be performed on Flight CD releases to try to catch bugs so that they can be fixed before for the final release: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/CurrentEdubuntu Bug reports should go to the newly implemented Launchpad bug tracking facility called Malone: https://launchpad.net/malone Have fun with testing and bugfiling, Oliver Grawert
