Nio, don't worry! The alternate cd's for the ubuntu flavors are being retained. I know for a fact lubuntu is keeping alternate cd's -- my guess is xubuntu will also. I haven't heard confirmation from any flavor that they are dropping them -- it's a flavor specific decision what images to ship.T

I find the alternate iso files useful for old computers with low RAM. A couple of weeks ago I failed to install Lubuntu 12.04 from the live CD into a 512 MB RAM computer of a friend. That computer has good graphics and a fair CPU, so the alternate iso file helped me to make a responsive computer o

I almost forgot -- since this is 12.04.1, the alternate images are a part of this release :-) Don't forget them! I'm in quantal mode and didn't even think when I saw them. FYI, for quantal, we are attempting to reduce our image count (to make our testing easier and reduce fragmentation for bug

I would point out and clarify I don't want to see any technical discussion moved off this list and migrating somewhere else -- I don't think we're at risk of that happening. The FB and g+ pages will serve as open-ended ads to point back to the group and it's "normal" communication channels. W

Nvidia Driver Woes

Some folks ran into this over the weekend, and I've heard enough about it that I thought a mail wouldn't hurt :-) For those running quantal, a new X stack has landed that breaks the nvidia driver. For now, the driver has been disabled. Read more: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/

Hallo imho FB is just a mass media with a different way to see the things respect to us, surely is money-centric with all that this concern (no sharing connaissance, not freedom, violation of rights, ecc). is also true that we needs to talk of Ubuntu where peoples can listen, and FB is a well know

Hi Gema, one of the "wonderful" things about any area is that you will have people ask technical questions. Rather than scream "RTFM", giving them the links to where and how to get the information, as opposed to using it as support area is also a subtle, but important difference :) "What, there i

Hi Gema, there is on Facebook a subtle but important difference between open, private & hidden. A private group is advertised to all, but requires acceptance to join. The reason I chose private is that it does reduce the attacks by spammers. As we all have better things to do than run around clean
