I use a Dvorak keyboard mapping exclusively. Sometimes, though, certain computers make it difficult to change the keyboard mapping from its default QWERTY configuration. Assuming your browser has Javascript enabled, you can use this online application to translate the keyboard map for you.

If you've trying this on any of the alpha releases of Intrepid, you've probably gotten a kernel panic while its trying to boot up. If you've had this trouble, then apparently there is good news on the horizon. According to the main bug reporting page , a fix has been recently committed. I'll test it out in the next couple of days and post any instructions or tips on getting it to work. Check back!

It will be time for me to reinstall everything from scratch. My system, although not unstable, still feels plagued by problems that accompanying the Hardy release. I got to agree with lots of the points made in Hardy is a hard time . In my experience: Flash still crashes Firefox too much, some applications are still not compatible with PulseAudio, Rhythmbox can't handle the size of my music collection, the Tracker Search Tool supposedly finds matches but doesn't display them, etc., etc. I don't know how many of these problems will be fixed in the next release, but hopefully it will feel more stable (ironiclly, given that Hardy is a LTR). What I'm not looking forward to, though, is re-figuring the configuration I have become accustomed with. This post is a future reminder for me of how I want things set up: Applications to Install : Accessories Unison Chm Viewer Games GFCE NES emulator ZSNES mupen64plus PCSX Internet Deluge Google Earth Filezilla Office Grism Bibus Progr...

If you don't want to install the alpha2 version of Intrepid, why not try the livedisc? "What?", you say? "I didn't think that it would be available until alpha3". Well... officially it isn't, but you can still try the version that is cooking... if you know where to find it! It can be found here . Have fun! Note: unfortunately, I have not been able to get these to work with VirtualBox. Technorati Tags: ubuntu , Intrepid

An announcement hasn't yet been made, but I just noticed that alpha2 isos have just been uploaded here . It appears there isn't a live disc option yet. Hopefully its more stable than alpha1. Technorati Tags: ubuntu

It took me a while to find this , and it should not be done on a production machine (I'm installing it in Virtualbox), but here is how to install very early version of the next version of Ubuntu: 1. Install Hardy 2. change /etc/apt/sources.list so it contains only this: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse 3. sudo aptitude update 4. sudo aptitude dist-upgrade EDIT: You can now download an iso of Intrepid from here (note: These ISO's don't seem to work with Virtualbox - see bug report here ). EDIT EDIT: If you want to try a liveCD, look here . EDIT EDIT EDIT: Now that the alphas are out, the easiest way to upgrade to Intrepid is with the following command (still not recommended for production machines): sudo update-manager -d Technorati Tags: ubuntu , Intrepid Ibex
