First try of (F)Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) final

I Must say it’s impressive it doesn’t work even more from the previous version. :)

I installed it on my TP R60 and noticed:

  1. The partitioner GUI in the installation is still strange
  2. The account migration app didn’t find my old Ubuntu account nor the windows one
  3. There’s AFAIK still the problem with the GRUB installation on SATA drives (change hd(0) to /dev/sda)
  4. The default fglrx resolution goes only to 1024×768
  5. Suspend to RAM works mostly not
  6. Still the SHMConfig option in xorg.conf not enabled (why???)
  7. HDAPS module doesn’t want to load (maybe a kernel problem)

So, if you are upgrading to 7.04 you will have still a lot of work on your own to fix or override the bugs.

A good reference is here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_(Feisty_Fawn)_on_a_ThinkPad_T60

And maybe it is a good thing to add to /etc/acpi/resume.d/90-*-unstandby-led.sh is chvt 7 for automatic switching to vt 7
