      No, i don't think you have to upgrade. If you set Kubuntu 7.04 repositories correctly you should get updates automatically. As for the changes - there are no major changes from Beta to Final version, just many bug fixes. You don't have to reinstall anything.

      Hope that helps...

            That is exactly the point. For the time being, there is nothing to upgrade!!! You already have the final release installed

            Enjoy

              Does anyone know if the support for wireless USB adapters has been increased?

              I had 6.06 installed and although with difficulty(ndiswrapper etc) i got my usb wifi connected

              I had a dual boot system with XP on the main disk and kubuntu on the slave all worked well until my slave HD packed up and i was unable to install 6.06 on a partition on the master HD.

              I then tried 6.10 when it became available and i was unable to connect to the net at all using the method i used on 6.06

              I have read that 7.04 uses KnetworkManager and has a zeroconf option. Will i be able to install my WG111T usb stick from the box this time? if not is there anywhere i could find an install package that could help me like i had with 6.06

                I thought 7.04 was to be a ltr [long term release] with 6.1 having the 18 month cycle but I guess it's not?

                And has anyone tried upgrading wit out reinstalling? I like what i got and don't want to have to remember what all extra I installed from the repos AND I don't want to have to re-engineer my desktop. I'd stay with 6.1 if my usb card reader would work [someone says that's fixed in Feisty]
                Thanks

                  I've done several upgrades of Edgy to Feisty. I didn't have any major problems. The few problems I did have was helped by the forum here.

                  No Feisty isn't to be a LTS. From my understanding, another LTS isn't for a couple of more of these 6 month releases.

                      just open up adept package manager and click 'fetch updates', once its got the new headers you will get a popup saying there is a new version available, do you want to download it. The rest is pretty self explanitory.

                        I've done several upgrades of Edgy to Feisty. I didn't have any major problems. The few problems I did have was helped by the forum here.

                        Hello, I tried yesterday, but failed.
                        After hours of download, the upgrade stopped at being unable to configure x11-common.

                        Manually calling "sudo dpkg --configure -a" yields to the very same message about inconsistent package.

                        My system was 6.10, which I always held up to date.

                          There are quite a few entries around Feisty section (and actually other sections as well) relating to X. Try searching there. What kind of display adapter do you have?

                            You mean graphic card? It is NVIDIA with 3D enabled.

                              Got your message kornel. Sorry about the confusion in terminology. What you relayed to me will help. These links are to several posts with dibl's comments. I personally did not have problems with my nVidia Graphics Card, but dibl did initially and did, I think, extensive work on solving his problems. I hope any one of these help. If not, post in the Feisty section under hardware about nVidia card problems. We can help further.
