well he upgraded and no fresh install, i think the new ext4 file system (fresh format) adds a little speed boost too :) 20 sec bootup for me!
 
cool. i just cannot move permanently because of tiny insanities with UI of linux. but it rocks.
 
well.I have not gone for ext4.now boot time till it hits gdm is 24sec.My settings are all customized.and the upgrade went fine(except the installer insists on kdelibs,qt4 packages).some housekeeping(3rd party repositories-esp pulse-0.9.15) were done and now it is fine.enabled ctrl+alt+backspace as it is disabled by default in jaunty.
Code: 
sudo apt-get install dontzap
and "sudo dontzap --disable"

installed nvidia185 beta .then..3rd party repositories resolved:happy:
here is my /etc/apt/sources.list -contains latest packages of alsa,pulseaudio etc. :P

Good Luck!
 
I have finally installed Ubuntu 9.04 :yahoo:
The problem perhaps was with the Wubi which came with the ISO downloaded.
I found the link to the solution here. Steps I followed as per quote below
I found that running the wubi included in the Jaunty CD to be rather buggy, and I experienced both the error messages included above.
I managed to get wubi to work by doing the following:
1) Make sure you have uninstalled the \"failed\" attempt of the wubi installation, it will be listed in Add/Remove programs in windows control panel (called Programs And Features in vista), it seems even if the installation fails it doesnt delete the c:\ubuntu folder or any of the other files it half coped, so running the uninstaller in Add/Remove programs will help,
2) Download the ubuntu jaunty ISO image from the server, but keep the ISO file and dont bother burning it to a CD.
Download a seperate version of Wubi.exe. There is a seperate version of wubi that can be downloaded from the ubuntu download page. Goto the following link
Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)
Scroll right down to the bottom of the page and you will see Wubi.exe
http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/wubi.exe (Direct Link)
This version of wubi is build 129, the version included on the Jaunty final release cd/ISO is only build 128.
3) Empty your Temp folder in windows. In windows XP this will be at \"C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Local Settings\Temp\"
and for Vista \"C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\Temp\"
The wubi installer seems to leave some files hanging around in ehre too, so removing them helped me.
4) Reboot computer
5) Run the wubi.exe which you downloaded seperately, making sure the ubuntu ISO you downloaded is located in the same folder as wubi.exe
This seemed to work for me and jaunty installed without any problems in wubi.

Now I am struggling to configure WiFi on Ubuntu which was very easy on Win Vista (I am PC!). I hope I would configure it soon.

----------

And I am able to connect through WiFi. It was easy.
Posting from Ubuntu for 1st time :yahoo:
 
Good stuff :dance:
 
I am playing with Ubuntu for few days now. What I noticed is, we can install/add many softwares from add/remove. But for it everytime, it downloads the package. As I have internet connection now, so no problem, but what if somebody not having internet. Is Complete Ubuntu distributed on set of CD/DVD?(I had witnessed Red Hat & Suse Linux installations, both which had set of 3/5 CD's)
 

Ok. Thanks.Right that packages are updated regularly, but I was thinking of situation of PC crash and new installation needs to be done, and internet is not available (rare situation :)) but still. Good then DVD is available. I will download and burn 1 copy for backup.
 
guess so. or you can just keep the CD and deb files for the extra packages you need. :P

but i guess DVD is a safer solution though i have not used them for a while. ubuntu by default comes with most of the common packages and most additional packages i install are third party (opera for example). :)

----------

your question reminds me of AutoPatcher.com too bad microsoft killed that third party project.

----------

btw you would also want to check out GetDeb - Software for Ubuntu Linux :)
 
I believe Autopatcher is back up and running since they worked around some loophole or something like that :)
