I recently found out about the app APTonCD and became hugely excited! It could take the packages of my choice in my precise desktop and pack them all in one cd, like my "essentials" installation media. I installed this app and placed my favorite packages into a cd.
Next, I wanted to insert the cd on my laptop running Ubuntu quantal daily build.
You have your Precise based 5 year LTS "X" distro, but you don't want to go the new "X" with the Quantal base with only less than 1.5 years already. Some of these "X" distros a spewing out "release candidates," "development releases" with the Quantal, long after Quantal was released--20 days ago.
Examples;
1) Mint 13 Maya to Nadia.
I have both Precise and Quantal installed on separate partitions on same HDD.
While installing Quantal, in my forgetfulness I let it install Grub. No issues so far. Machine works fine.
However, whenever there is Grub version upgrade on either versions of Ubuntu or if I run update-grub in either the Grub gets replaced by the version where the upgrade or update happened.
Let me be more clear.
I wrote a tutorial on how to run apps from Quantal (Ubuntu 12.10) directly within Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) using a chroot.
I currently have Quantal Quatzal 12.10 but I'm wondering if I should switch to Precise Pangolin 12.04 LTS...I heard 12.10 was less stable and more things are available for 12.04. Also, why is 12.04 being supported longer than 12.10, I don't understand why there are LTS ones and newer ones aren't LTS, unless 12.10 is like some sort of "beta"...Thanks :)
Hi.
I'm on Precise using the standard Remmina from the repoes, but it's got some annoying window placement bugs.
I tested Quantal, and discovered that the bugs have been fixed in the version shipped with Quantal.
In both version of Remmina, under "About", it's the same version number, "0.9.99.1".
Why don't they put the "fewer bugs version" in Precise, or how can I
On my System76 Lemur Ultra Thin (lemu4) notebook PC, I tried Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit LTS Precise Pangolin and Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit Quantal Quetzal and I have to say that Precise Pangolin was much better. It's a lot more stable and reliable. I have no problems with Linux kernel 3.2.0-34-generic whatsoever.
Hello,
Due to a specific bug in modem-manager that I'm stumbling upon I've been encouraged to update the version of MM that I'm running to the one at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/amd64/modemmanager. I've tried downloading the .deb file but Software Centre then tells me that Modem-manager is already up to date.
Can anybody help me to get this new version installed?
Thanks
