Just updated to Ubuntu Hardy
Beta and — deleting a 0 Byte file takes 3 minutes! This will make switching so much easier, no more users dying of thirst because they don’t have the time to brew, drink and wash a cup of coffee during such operations…
Maybe they rewrote nautilus in Python, but I’m too scared they did, so I won’t check.
On the plus side: metacity now acts as a composite manager, being much more resource-friendly than compiz, so those can be wasted otherwise. On pulseaudio for instance.
My frequently cursed but nonetheless constantly used rhythmbox segfaults because of some stupid — yeah — Python-plugin. And liferea just segfaults, but that’s nothing new, after the last three updates, the developers changed the name of the settings path (including the current version number. Don’t know what for, maybe it would be nice and usable otherwise…), thus it couldn’t find the old settings any more and of course crashed and burned.
