New Ubuntu Release

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (codenamed Hardy Heron) was released this week.

The Frogfoot mirrors have been updated and we have created a new Xen server image. You can now order a Grid server running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on our Grid page.

Ubuntu

If you have a Frogfoot IP address, you have free access to our mirrors. Your /etc/apt/sources.list should look something like this for Hardy:

deb http://mirror.frogfoot.net/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirror.frogfoot.net/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirror.frogfoot.net/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

Long live Ubuntu!

    To upgrade from gutsy using the mirrors, you can hack the upgrade script (otherwise it will use sources outside frogfoot).

    See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/147080/comments/4

    All worked nicely - just had to adjust some of the tty stuff manually - the do-release-update script notifies you of files that have to be adjusted manually - the key ones being tty files that get created that aren’t needed under Xen. I’d recommend doing this under screen so it doesn’t crash if you get disconnected :-)

    Hi David

    Thanks for the link. Happy your upgrade worked well.

    I recently upgraded my laptop.. just updated /etc/apt/sources.list and did an “apt-get dist-upgrade”. Had a few minor snags, but it’s all happy now.
