Kiloswont you only get the beta version16:39
zerefhe's upgrading at 00:0016:39
nlsthznwill get what ever is available right now... so basically RC with updates ... closest I can get to the release 16:40
Kilosah16:40
nlsthznwill be on the bus and in the big city tomorrow the whole day so no chance of getting the release and installing and all that... was running the beta in VBox and not impressed with performance16:41
nlsthznand also to lazy to do a clean install... everything is installed and working so well at the moment in natty... :)16:41
Kiloslol16:42
zerefmy friends are all up in arms about the blackberry outage16:49
zerefOH NOES, no bbm16:49

zerefFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU16:50
superflynlsthzn: I've been running the beta on my work and home PCs16:50
superflyno new packages? :-( sad panda16:51
nlsthznsuperfly, I have also tried the various releases... but found that they always had just a few more issues than I was happy with... natty has been a rock for me the last few weeks... but soon I will be rocking the ocelot16:52
tumbleweednlsthzn: we are pretty close to final release, but not there yet16:52
nlsthzntumbleweed, would have loved to have waited... but I am sure it is stable enough for tomorrows release party etc... if not then oh well :p16:53
tumbleweednlsthzn: what image do you have?16:53
nlsthznused the latest daily build for the Vbox (not sure the number, the iso image didn't have one)... but for my system I am doing an upgrade16:54
tumbleweedthere are daily builds for vbox?16:54
tumbleweedas long as you aren't giving the image to other people, any recent daily is fine. There were still some pretty serious bugs in recent images, though (eg screensaver couldcome up during install, and the user won't know the password for it)16:56
nlsthzntumbleweed, what I meant was I got the latest build and tried it on VBox :) And sure... I won't be giving anybody anything that isn't official (sucks about the screensaver coming up during install... didn't face that issue when I ran the install in VBox though)16:59
Kilosnight all. sleep tight17:18
