Hi folks, As a compulsive upgrader I just thought I would let you know what my experience of kubuntu 9.04 beta is.
DO NOT MESS WITH 9.04 (with kde4) unless you know what you are doing/prepared for complete failure of your system. I fall into the latter category. I have tried 9.04 and I struggled a little. I had the usual problems I have with graphics as the upgrade process removes the NVIDIA drivers. I have been able to get going again. I also have found that this latest version has imposed Pulse audio/phonon onto the system. My understanding is that rather than each application making it own attempts to output audio via alsa esd or whatever the new system sits there collecting inputs and outputting via whatever you fancy. I found that amarok wouldn't work for instance. Selecting pulse audio as the controlling application has sorted the problem. SC7 now works fine so far.
