Ubuntu 11.10 Dvd-i386

Although Ubuntu has turned down the update servers for old versions (so no apt-get update for you), they still host the Live CD ISOs at old-releases.ubuntu.com. The newest version that fit on a CD was 11.10 Oneiric (from October 2011!).

function updateIsoUrl(version) var architecture = document.getElementById(version + "select"); architecture = architecture.options[architecture.selectedIndex].value; var url = " $1/release/kubuntu-$1-desktop-$2.iso"; url = url.replace("$1", version); url = url.replace("$1", version); url = url.replace("$2", architecture); var formID = version + "download"; document.getElementById(formID).action = url; jQuery('#17.04select').trigger('change');

Obtain the Desktop Edition installation DVD/CD set. Connect to for information. For example you can download an ISO image of the installation CD and then burn your own installation CD. You want the file ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso or, if you have a very old server, ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso. Choose the former to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). Note 1: We recommend you use the "Long Term Support" (LTS) version of Ubuntu which is currently version 12.04; the next LTS release will be version 14.04. Note 2: We recommend you actually use the latest 12.04 iso file which is currently ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso. Choose which ever download site works best for you; I have had good luck with -releases/ If you download the ISO image, make sure that you verify the integrity of the downloaded file by comparing the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file with the MD5 checksum listed at or at the download site (e.g. -releases/12.04/MD5SUMS). These instructions will assume you have the ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso installation CD but installing from the i386, alternate CD, a commercial DVD/CD set or from the net should be essentially identical.

First of all most Debian based Linux distributions rely on a program called Synaptic Package Manager to install software. However, as of Ubuntu 11.10, Synaptic has been removed from Ubuntu in favor of the Ubuntu Software Center. You can use the Ubuntu Software Center if you wish but I'll give instructions for using Synaptic Package Manager. Note that what I really do is use the very fast way noted above.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (codenamed Precise Pangolin) is now open for development just one day after the release of Ubuntu 11.10. The Ubuntu Developer Summit for this next major Ubuntu release is also coming up in just over two weeks.

While there are many improvements to the graphics drivers in Ubuntu 11.10 and its shipping with the latest stable driver components, there are a few caveats to point out that I've come across during last minute tests this week.

Mark Shuttleworth has just revealed that the codename for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Linux release is the "Precise Pangolin", which will succeed the soon-to-be-released Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" version.

This morning I shared some initial battery power consumption results for Ubuntu 11.10 from three different mobile devices. For all three of them, the power consumption on Ubuntu 11.10 was even higher than Ubuntu 11.04, which was already in a power hungry state. Before calling it a week to go handle XDC2011 matters, I ran some tests from a standard Intel Atom N270 netbook. Sure enough, Ubuntu 11.10 is doing a heck of a job at burning through power.

The Linux power regressions are not over. The power consumption with Ubuntu 11.04 dramatically increased due to a PCI Express Active-State Power Management change. This was after another major power regression in an earlier upstream kernel release. The Linux PCI-E ASPM support is still not improved, so the 11.04 power regression remains in Ubuntu 11.10 and other upstream Linux distributions shipping Linux 2.6.38+, but that's not all. The power situation in Ubuntu 11.10 is dramatically worsened.

Canonical's Kate Stewart set a milestone for correcting the ASPM power issue by Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1. Ubuntu 11.10 Beta will be released today, but it will not fix the Linux 2.6.38 power regression that's caused by a change in PCI-E Active State Power Management.

This shouldn't be news for anyone who has followed the Phoronix articles for Ubuntu 11.10, particularly from the UDS Budapest event, but here's the official X.Org plans for this next Ubuntu Linux release.

For anyone excited to see more Unity love, or simply an updated out-of-the-box package set Intel Sandy Bridge will work on Ubuntu, the first alpha of Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Oncelot" has been released. With the features only recently having been defined, Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 1 doesn't offer up too much, but it's a start.

Last week we reported on the key features coming to Ubuntu Server 11.10 that Canonical has put out as part of their features definition list. Now there's a similar list for the Ubuntu desktop edition.

With a few weeks having passed since UDS Budapest where a lot of details concerning Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Oncelot" were figured out and debated, and the features definition freeze now in effect, Canonical has announced the five core areas they'll be working on in this development cycle as it pertains to the Ubuntu Server release.
