Ubuntu 18.10 Set For Release Today With Some Nice Improvements

[bug77]

Have you checked this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Co...grades/Kubuntu
Seems like upgrading to Non-LTS from LTS is prohibited by default.

Man, that was such a rookie mistake. I'm not sure why 18.04 overwrote that, I usually set it once to update to regular release and it stays that way...
Many thanks.

Anybody knows if http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20181017.3/ is the final RTM ISO for 18.10 or will there be something newer????

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/18.10/ <- doesn't list anything past beta.
If I had to guess, I'd say they're not yet confident enough in their last images.

Ubuntu 18.10 cosmic has been incredible, can't say it enough. And thank goodness no more PPAs are needed since Mesa 18.2.2 and Vulkan 1.1.82 are included.

Shout out to the GNOME guys too, what a polished experience 3.30 has been so far. I'm picky as hell and I've only needed two extensions: Clipboard Indicator and User Themes

OPERATING SYSTEM: Ubuntu 18.10
Kernel: 4.18.14-041814+custom-generic (x86_64)
Desktop: GNOME Shell 3.30.1
Display Server: X Server 1.20.1
Compiler: GCC 8.2.0 + Clang 7.0.0-3 + LLVM 7.0.0

Bleeding edge is where it's at right now, folks. Tell your friends

Also, I'm finding the theme combo of United-Ubuntu + Numix + Yaro to be really nice on the eyes. The default communitheme is great, too.

Fear not, KDE and Kubuntu have you covered :-)

I wish they'd hurry up already with the Connect Bluetooth backend though. I use my phone as a hotspot, so it isn't connected to Wi-Fi. And because of that, KDE Connect refuses to work 'cause both my phone and laptop need to be connected to Wi-Fi for it to work. So if they hurry up with the Bluetooth backend, that problem would be solved. And not only mine, a lot of users have complained about the lack of a Bluetooth backend.

I do have 386 enabled (required for something like Skype or TeamViewer), but the distro is as x86_64 as it gets. Time to look back to see whether I still need 386, because TeamViewer doesn't work since 18.04 anyway and Skype got such a great upgrade that you're better off using the web version.

What do you mean TeamViewer needs 32-bit? It has a 64-bit version for Linux, you know... In fact, that's the only Linux version it lets me download from the website and that has been the case for the past couple of months now...

Mainline kernels and mesa are partially implemented. See the diff column at kernel.org and compare to the AMD drm-next-4.21-wip kernel. Use Oibaf ppa Mesa. More better, use Debian testing/sid Xfce too. My distribution has these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKJ-IatUfis

Can you stop spreading FUD for one day in your whole life? I can't remember one correct thing you ever claimed on this forum. Ever.

"Partially implemented" my a$$. You don't understand how software development works. Also, implying that those ppas don't contain bugs, when in fact they are nightly versions and not tested at all...

I mean we have a license that's only valid for older versions at work.

Ah, but you didn't say that. The way you said it sounded like you believed there was no 64-bit version of TeamViewer. I get it now, but please be more concise next time.
