Early adopters of Canonical’s new Ubuntu 9.10 release lovingly called “Karmic Koala” are getting a little more than they bargained for. Apparently the cuddly marsupial has an evil dark side. Everything from hard drives not being detected to encryption hiccups and downgraded Linux kernels being installed have plagued those upgrading from Jaunty Jackalope. El Reg reports that even those doing clean installs are encountering issues.
For a Linux Distro that has earned a reputation as being the distro of choice for the less technically minded, the issues with Karmic Koala are shocking (shocking!). Hopefully the cuddly critter will get it’s act together quickly and scrape this rather healthy helping of egg of its face soon. In the meantime…. stick with Jaunty Jackalope.
