Introduzione

L'intera comunità di Ubuntu, assieme agli sviluppatori, sta lavornado alacremente per poter rendere disponibile a tutti il miglior software che il mondo Open Source abbia da offrire. Questa "Release Candidate" è l'ultimo passo prima della versione 6.10 di Ubuntu, che porterà molte e interessanti novità. Sono stati apportati molti miglioramenti, come un sistema di avvio più rapido, migliori tempi di avvio di GNOME, la nuova versione di GNOME (2.16) con nuove caratteristiche dell'interfaccia grafica, un nuovo kernel e molto, molto altro.

Installazione

Scaricate Ubuntu immediatamente!

Le immagini per l'installazione o per una prova senza sconvolgere il proprio sistema, sono disponibili anche come file BitTorrent.BR Potete trovare il tutto a questo indirizzo: [http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/].

Aggiornamento dalla versione 6.06 LTS

Se si desidera aggiornare la propria versione di Ubuntu 6.06 LTS alla nuova versione 6.10, eseguire il seguente comando in un terminale o attraverso la combinazione di tasti Alt-F2:

gksu "update-manager -c -d"

Il parametro "-d" indica a Gestore aggiornamenti di considerare anche le versioni precedenti dei rilasci, includendo anche questa "Release Candidate". Senza il parametro, vengono prese in considerazione solo le versioni ufficiali e definitive. Il parametro "-c" indica di cercare tutti gli aggiornamenti. La versione 6.06 LTS non offre questa opzione automaticamente dato il lungo supporto fornito e la sua alta stabilità.

Se la connessione a internet è funzionante, Gestore aggiornamenti vi informerà della disponibilità di nuovi aggiornamenti.

Aggiornamento con apt-get

If the upgrade is performed on a system without update-manager (e.g. on a server). The upgrade must be done in two steps. The first run of apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade everything except for upstart. After this a second apt-get dist-upgrade will finish the upgrade.

Problemi noti

The following bugs are known to exist in the Release Candidate and are expected to be resolved in the final release:

Problemi con i sistemi Sun T2000

SUN T2000 users should upgrade their ALOM/OBP to at least 123482-02 before upgrading to edgy. Upgrade procedures are provided by SUN at the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-123482-02

(NOTE: Ubuntu/Canonical takes no responsibility for the correctness of this documentation/upgrade - make sure to read *ALL* the information and details).

Rationale: the new edgy kernel potentially triggers a HyperVisor bug in handling IRQs that results in a machine halt/poweroff (ERROR: HV Abort: JBI Error (22) - PowerDown) during reboots. The machine needs to be re-powered on in order to resume normal operation (including a complete POST) which may result in long out-of-service and unscheduled downtime.

Upstart: rifacimento di init

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyEft/Knot3?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=upstart.png The new init system, upstart, has now been turned on by default. For most users, this change will be totally unnoticed, but upstart offers some very clear advantages, such as a cleaner design and the ability to make booting faster, all of which can be read on the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReplacementInit Replacement Init wiki page].

Nuovo Bootup Splash

All the improvements in usplash have begun to pay off, as the new theme landed for Beta. The usplash will now scale to larger screens and many different resolutions. A placeholder theme has been created, to take advantage of the new work.

Nuove applicazioni

GNOME 2.16

Edgy Beta comes with the latest GNOME release, GNOME 2.16. After Dapper a large amount of bugfixes and feature additions went into Gnome, 2.16 is the culmination of all the hard work that has gone into Gnome to make it more secure, faster and stable. Many applications also have been updated or added into Edgy.

Tomboy

It is a wikiwiki world out there and now your desktop does not have to be left behind. Beta comes with Tomboy pre-installed, allowing easy note taking and linking.

Crash Report

Reporting crashes is now easier thanks to automated problem reports. When a userspace application experiences a crash a automated problem report will be generated. This means that users do not have to create debug version of software and will no longer have to spend hours trying to re-create a crash.
