This goed for 8.04 &amp; 9.04 LTS releases and any other release in between.</p><p>In the past updates like this could cause problems when doing them right at the time of release.  It was common to find unreachable Ubuntu servers when upgrading causing an update to not work at all, or to just download some of the files and install a broken version of Kubuntu.</p><p>This seems to be resolved when I started the upgrade no time outs to Ubuntu servers were reported.  Although the upgrade is downloading slow even on a fast broadband connection.</p><p>The only thing I now have to worry about is will everything work like it did after the upgrade.</p><p>I also have a few servers to upgrade  which is usually what the LTS(Long Term Support) version is used for.  As well as a few clients who are also on the LTS version.</p><p>Keep an eye on this blog for my report on how Kubuntu 10.04 LTS is working after the upgrade.</p><h3  class="related_post_title">Related Posts</h3><ul class="related_post"><li>November 7, 2008 -- <a href="http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/" title="How To Get Atheros AR242x To Work on 8.10 Intrepid Ibex">How To Get Atheros AR242x To Work on 8.10 Intrepid Ibex</a> (528)</li><li>September 28, 2008 -- <a href="http://madberry.org/2008/09/ar242x-the-saga-continues/" title="AR242x The saga continues">AR242x The saga continues</a> (2)</li><li>August 7, 2009 -- <a href="http://madberry.org/bright-hub/" title="Bright Hub">Bright Hub</a> (0)</li><li>May 14, 2009 -- <a href="http://madberry.org/2009/05/karmic-koala-910-the-first-alpha-is-here/" title="Karmic Koala 9.10 The First Alpha Is Here">Karmic Koala 9.10 The First Alpha Is Here</a> (2)</li><li>May 8, 2009 -- <a href="http://madberry.org/2009/05/want-to-boot-linux-from-a-flash-drive/" title="Want To Boot Linux From A Flash Drive?">Want To Boot Linux From A Flash Drive?</a> (2)</li></ul>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://madberry.org/2010/04/kubuntu-10-04-lts-released-today/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Why Netflix Sucks</title><link>http://madberry.org/2010/04/why-netflix-sucks/</link> <comments>http://madberry.org/2010/04/why-netflix-sucks/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 11 Apr 2010 23:06:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>[mad]Berry</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kubuntu]]></category> <category><![CDATA[big f]]></category> <category><![CDATA[free trial offer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[home theater pc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[linux]]></category> <category><![CDATA[linux users]]></category> <category><![CDATA[linux version]]></category> <category><![CDATA[microsoft]]></category> <category><![CDATA[moonlight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies on demand]]></category> <category><![CDATA[netflix]]></category> <category><![CDATA[novell]]></category> <category><![CDATA[patents]]></category> <category><![CDATA[petition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[precise details]]></category> <category><![CDATA[silverlight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[support linux]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tv shows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[users community]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://madberry.org/?p=1119</guid> <description><![CDATA[In February I decided to act on a free trial offer.  This offer was for a free trial for a month.  I have always wondered if Netflix would be for me.

A new version had been released. This version covers the following improvements and new features. From the <a title="Truecrypt" href="http://www.truecrypt.org" target="_blank">website</a>:</p><blockquote><p><strong>New Features:</strong></p><ul><li>The I/O pipeline now uses read-ahead buffering, which improves read performance especially on solid-state drives, typically by 30-50%.  (<em>Windows</em>)</li></ul><p><strong> Improvements, Bug Fixes, and Security Enhancements:</strong></p><ul><li>The boot loader now supports motherboards with BIOSes that reserve large amounts of base memory (typically for on board RAID controllers). Note: In order to be able to take advantage of this improvement under Windows Vista, you will have to install Service Pack 1 or higher first. Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista resolved an issue causing a shortage of free base memory during system boot.  (<em>Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003</em>)</li><li>Mounting using the &#8216;<em><a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/main-program-window#auto_mount_devices">Auto-Mount Devices</a></em>&#8216; feature may take significantly less time as partitions  containing  unencrypted files systems are now skipped.  (<em>Windows</em>)</li><li>When volumes that are mounted as read-only or removable are saved as favorite volumes. They are mounted as read-only and/or removable when &#8216;<em>Mount Favorite Volumes</em>&#8216;  is used.</li><li>When a multiple-pass wipe algorithm is selected when performing in-place encryption of a non-system volume, the header areas will be wiped before the encrypted headers are written to the disk. Note: On an existing volume, you can perform such an operation by changing its password and/or key files.  (<em>Windows</em>)</li><li>Many  other minor improvements, bug fixes and security enhancements.  (<em>Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux</em>)</li></ul></blockquote><p>Keeping personal and corporate files saved is important.  Truecrypt is a great way to protect these files.  If you haven&#8217;t <a title="Truecrypt" href="http://www.truecrypt.org" target="_blank">checked</a> it out yet, you should do it now.

But this would take a crazy number of CD&#8217;s.  There are ways to put a distro on a USB flash drive yourself see <a title="pendrivelinux.com" href="http://pendrivelinux.com" target="_blank">pendrivelinux.com</a>.  What if you just don&#8217;t want to bother with installing different pieces of software to get the USB flash drive to boot?</p><h4>Unetbootin Install Linux Distro&#8217;s On A Flash Drive With Out Hassle</h4><p>After burning a million CD&#8217;s I decided to search for a better solution.  I foun<a title="Unetbootin Website" href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">d Unetbootin</a>. Unetbootin will automatically download and install Linux iso&#8217;s to your USB flash drive.  I&#8217;m always looking for applications that make my life easier.  Unetbootin saves me the time of having to burn every distro I want to try to disk.  Let&#8217;s face it, we are still in an economic crisis and saving money is a good thing.</p><h4>Installation</h4><p>There are two ways to install Unetbootin.  You can install it out of the repositories using <a title="See this article" href="http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/15107.aspx" target="_blank">Synaptic or adept</a>.  But this will to allow you to install the latest version of Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04.  For that you have to install the version you can download from their <a title="Unetbootin Website" href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">website</a>.  For the website version there is no install necessary.  The download is a executable file.  Download the file and make it executable make sure you  are in the directory you downloaded it to:<br /> In terminal:</p><pre class="code">sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/unetbootin-linux*</pre><p><a class="thickbox" href="http://madberry.org/wp-content/gallery/screendumps/unetbootin/unetbootin01.png" rel="lightbox[942]"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left alignleft" src="http://madberry.org/wp-content/gallery/screendumps/unetbootin/thumbs/thumbs_unetbootin01.png" alt="unetbootin01.png" width="100" height="75" /></a>Or the point and click way:<br /> Right click on unetbootin-linux-323 and select properties.  Click the <em>Permissions</em> tab mark the box in front of <em>Is executable</em>. Now you are able to click on the binary. A password prompt will pop-up put in your sudo password.  Unetbootin will start and you are ready to make bootable flash drives.</p><h4>Features</h4><p>You can select a distribution to put on the flash drive as said, this will download and install the distro to the flash drive.  Select an iso that you have already downloaded and install that to the flash drive.  Or make a custom Kernel install with your own Initrd and options.  Select the drive (it also can install distros to the hardrive) and click OK.  Unetbootin will now download the iso, then install it to the flash drive.</p><h4>Conclusion</h4><p>Unetbootin is a great application. The only thing I wish it had out of the box, is support for multiple distro&#8217;s.  It does have a boot manager so it should not be to difficult to support.  I might be able to figure out how to do this.  If so I&#8217;ll write another blog post about it.</p><p>If you liked what you read or it helped you in any way.

Also when pointing to the old setting in the home partition some problems with Kontact and the desktop icons as well as some other apps needed to be fixed.</p><p>After fixing those, then reinstalling all apps that had disappeared and installing the correct video drivers to get compiz to work right (we all love the eyecandy lol).  It is again working fine.</p><p>For more info about Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 read these articles I&#8217;ve written for Bright Hub:</p><h4 class="CommonAvatarListItemName"><a href="http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/32695.aspx">Canonical Releases Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04<br /> </a></h4><h4 class="CommonAvatarListItemName"><a href="http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/24443.aspx">What&#8217;s New In Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope</a></h4><p>Has this blog helped you in any way?  Then please <a title="Donate Please" href="http://madberry.org/donate" target="_blank">Donate</a> some dollars to help out with the hosting costs.

the desktop all together, I&#8217;m now running the first Jaunty Jackalope Beta.  I like contributing back to the community, most of you already know this see my articles and previous work in here.  Installing a beta version and using it on a production box does take some guts.</p><h3>How Did It Go?</h3><p>If you have ever installed a beta product of anything then you know that instability is almost a given.  I started the installation of Jaunty on a clean HDD on Friday.  Then decided to do the rest of my configuration over this past weekend.  I take a little longer setting up my own boxes because I am precise about how stuff is installed.</p><p>I also choose for ext4 instead of the more standard ext3 just to be daring even more lol.</p><h3>First impression</h3><p>The new version of Kubuntu is faster just as promised.  Jaunty cuts my startup time by I would say 25%.  The Desktop look great.  I am however still missing some stuff on Jaunty.  Digikam to name one is still absent.  The promised version 10 did not get included into Jaunty.  This makes me sad because it&#8217;s such a great piece of software that really is missed by me.  For those who do not know Digikam is photo management software.  I take a lot of digital photo&#8217;s and I use Digikam on a daily basis.</p><h3>The Nitty Gritty</h3><p>Everything seems to be working okay.  Even my wireless card (AR242X) is now recognized in Jaunty.  The wireless network is seen and can be connected to using network manager out of the box, GREAT!!  I did try to upgrade rather than do a clean install.  However it did become apparent that a clean install was needed.  I would consider this a tip for everyone having these strange problems of Kmail loosing accounts.  These kind odd errors are the result of lingering OLD configuration files.</p><p>In the previous version of Kubuntu (8.10) I had the problem that after a suspend or hibernate  my laptop would overheat because of the fact that the CPU fan wouldn&#8217;t switch on.  Jaunty (9.04) also fixes this issue.</p><p>Plasma is even better with an actual usable system monitor.  Although I find that some of the plasmoids are missing configuration options.  The new LCD weather station is cool but unusable.  The data sources used don&#8217;t have any US city&#8217;s so nice but I don&#8217;t want to know the weather in London.</p><h3>That Was Short</h3><p>Yes but you can see this as a first impression article.  There will be more to follow as soon as I run into problems.</p><p>For more info about Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 read these articles I&#8217;ve written for Bright Hub:</p><h4 class="CommonAvatarListItemName"><a href="http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/32695.aspx">Canonical Releases Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04<br />
