Stories similar to Unity 6.6 Arrives, is Headed for Ubuntu 12.10

Unity 6.8.0 on Ubuntu 13.04 15 weeks 3 days ago

Hey guys!

Why is Ubuntu 13.04 still using Unity 6.6.0 when Ubuntu 12.10 has Unity 6.8.0?(Or some other version) I created a USB with a persistent space on it. Installed all of the Ubuntu 13.04 updates, and it was still on Unity 6.6.0. Since Unity 6.8.0 was released all the way back in October it seems like we should have the latest Unity version.

Canonical has released the first beta of the next version of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu 11.10 “Oneiric Ocelot”.

Ubuntu TV in fact, used the same codebase as Unity 2D.

My reaction to the latest version of Ubuntu can be summed up in just three words: Far from awesome! That impression largely results from the switch to the new Unity desktop. Canonical, the developer of the Ubuntu Linux operating system, released version 11.04, also known as "Natty Narwhal," on April 28.

The recent release of Ubuntu 12.10, aka Quantal Quetzal, is a more palatable version of the open source OS built around the Unity desktop environment. Perhaps I am growing more accustomed to Unity, or maybe Canonical's developers are succeeding in refining the graphical user interface, so it seems less objectionable for me to use.

Ubuntu 12.10 will face some tough criticism if the problems with Unity lenses are not resolved before launch. A developer from Canonical wants to implement a solution that should allow users to disable the lens network access. Didier Roche, developer at Canonical, has posted in his Google+ profile a possible solution to the ... (read more)
