I have upgraded to Karmic…
I didn’t notice much of a change other than the screen during bootup…
– Bootup time seems to be more
– Audio is having problems (as noted by lots of other users)
I will try out the Windows 7 theme 🙂

this is probably to late to ask this, but uprading ubunut 9.04 to 9.10 should still be possible.
update manager is showing another version.
terminal says (on trying these two inputs):
“Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found”
any help? couldn’t find any
I was in the same boat. Change the file
/var/lib/update-manager/meta-release
for the section 9.10
Supported: 0 new value 1
Also if you havent already done so change each url to be old-releases.ubuntu.com —
I tried to upgrade Jaunty to Karmic, but the tool
doesn’t support upgrade to Lucid. So it doesn’t work for me. Don’t know how?
