Ubuntu 8.10
November 5th, 2008
I installed Ubuntu 8.10. I am impressed. There were a few minor bugs including 1) amd64 kernel gives iommu error with > 4gb ram. You can eliminate this by including iommu=noapeture in your grub menu boot parameters. Skype does not work correctly because of a missing asound.conf file or .asoundrc. A GTK modules (libcanberra-gtk-module) does not load which makes desktop sound effects inoperative. The last two items can be fixed with simple start-up scripts. All said, this is a fine update of 8.04.1 and the bugs noted are very minor.
