Upgrade to Feisty Fawn

Submitted by hpn on April 21, 2007 - 21:45
Upgraded Ubuntu on my laptop to the latest - 7.04, Feisty Fawn. The upgrade was smooth and easy. For me, upgrading to a newer version is to just have the latest of applications, especially GNOME and Evolution. Looks like there is a bunch of [:http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704tour|very nice features] on 7.04. If your Firefox rendering of Indic characters (especially Kannada characters) go bonkers yet again, add your default locale back again on /usr/bin/firefox. Look for this section to do that: if [ "x${MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO}" = x ]; then if egrep '^(bn|gu|hi|kn|ml|mr|ne|pa|si|ta|te)_' \ /var/lib/locales/supported.d/*[^~] >/dev/null 2>&1; then MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0 else MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 fi export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO fi There are some very good tips for reference on [:http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/|Carthik's Ubuntu blog]. And [:http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130923-page,1-c,linux/article.html|another link] for those of you who missed it on Slashdot. [:http://shipit.ubuntu.com/|Free CDs of Ubuntu] are also shipped on request. But torrent or direct upgrade work out much faster if you have a good Internet connection.
