Hardy Heron First impressions Sat, 19th Apr 2008
Just upgraded my macbook from Gutsy Gibbon to Hardy Heron RC1. The process was very neat, I just followed these instructions, the upgrade took about 1hr, and was not completely unmanned (i had to confirm a few things), but near enough.
Problems
- Once finished my system didnt have any sound, but after a short google search i found the solution to the problem is to open your volume control, go to preferences, and unmute the surround sound.
- Also a couple of plugins dont work in firefox 3, most importantly for me is the del.icio.us bookmark plugin, but im sure that will be updated soon.
First impressions
Everything else seems to be working as well, and in most cases better than Gutsy. The new Gnome is snappier and a tiny bit more polished, nice and subtle changes to the GUI (nothing too flashy, unless you want it that way). Ive turned on the new uncomplicated firewall which is a nice frontend CLI to iptables.
Thats it for now, ill probably write a few posts about pulseAudio and the new VNC client when ive had a play with them
