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.

Mike.
