Ubuntu Update from 9.04 ( Jaunty Jackalope ) to 9.10 ( Karmic Koala )

November 24, 2009 (Last Modified: March 14, 2020)

I finally took the courage of updating to the latest Ubuntu release on my PCs and notebooks. Major upgrades always bear a risk of incompatibilities of installed components. So I decided to wait one month after the new version of Ubuntu was released, in order to wait for possible problems to be solved by the developing team meanwhile. Long story short:

Core2Duo custom PC: like charm
Sony Vaio VGN-F221E (work): no problems, except Exim4 denied to work out of the box and Firefox has some display errors
Samsung NC10 Netbook: Ubuntu Netbook Remix. No fuss, except hotkeys don’t work
