The day has come for Karmic Koala to be released. Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala” is here!

I’ve been waiting for this release for quite a while now. I’ve tested most releases since 8.04 and I had to stick to 8.04 due to the stability and functionality of it. Most of the new releases had issues and problems, from the Intel video driver issues to simple instability of the system for every day use.

Tried already the beta and RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 and until now I can only say nice things about it. Nice gnome changes, like removal of images in the buttons, speed up and more functionality. In plus this new release should also be faster and more stable compared to the previous releases.

As I wrote in my previous post, today I am launching the new kernel package for Debian/Ubuntu 2.6.31.5-firebird based on kernel version 2.6.31.5. This new package contains the latest kernel, acerhdf module for Acer Aspire One (version 0.5.19) and coretemp patched for Intel Atom processors. If you wanna read more about what this new kernel packs, please check out http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.5.

Usually, I do not release any kernel package based on kernel version 2.6.31.[0-9] as I had some bad experience with it, plus it didn’t function as I would wished, but after some tests with this new kernel version I end-up with the conclusion it needs to be released.

I haven’t wrote on my blog for quite some time now and haven’t released a new kernel package neither. Because the kernel development moved in two versions and seems this two versions are a bit different I’m not sure even myself which direction to take. Well at the moment I kind of know, as I tested in all this period kernel 2.6.31 and 2.6.31.1 and got a bad conclusion: Not a very good kernel release! So this means only one thing, try to stick with kernel 2.6.30.[0-9].

At the moment, I have missed two releases, but now we have kernel 2.6.30.9 which I called Seahorse. I know is unusual, because I was using rock band names, but with this release I will start a new naming convention.
