Upgrade to Jaunty Jackalope from ubuntu 8.10

Settings->Administration->Update Manager

You will see a button for upgrade. Click and wait util it is done.

The problem in Alpha 6 is sivp is not consistent. I didn't solve it. It makes I can't install and remove other packages.

The other problem is flash player 10.0 doesn't work but 9 does.

Blender doesn't work under gnome even after shut off compiz. But it works under E16.

My video card is ATI X1300, the opensource driver works fine. Here is the configure file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection


Good things:
Compiz 0.8 is good. The Tab effect works right now, which lost the icon in previous version.
Volumn Control has been changed, more convenient.
Ubuntustudio theme is pretty, which maybe changed before.
New login window.
New default font configrations.
Ext4 support. I didn't change the file system coz is an upgrade.
I can't tell if the boot time really shortened.

What I expect actually is ibus input method, which has not been solved yet.
