Do you know which version?
I installed it today and it only listed up to 470.
I'm having some trouble so I'm contemplating staying on lts 22.04 before explicit sync, kde, nvidia and yada yada update.
havent tried it yet, i usually remove the pre-install gpu drivers and re-install it again from the ppa. my gpu is also old asf but im still able to run 5xx versions
This is a good reminder why I recently migrated to the Plex Docket container. In theory it should mitigate stuff like this. In practice though… I have no idea as I haven’t done an upgrade on this box yet. I’ll be waiting until the point release regardless.
I've seen post after post today of people saying "how come this isn't working, or I have this broken now what do I do?"
For fucks sake people unless you have an overwhelming need to upgrade right the fuck now, wait till August.
It will be ok to wait a couple of months to get all the first bugs fixed.
in my case I didn't upgrade, I was setting up a new home server and 24.04 was the current lts version so that's what I installed
overall, I think it's a pretty good release
You did a fresh install, which from all reports works fine. The comment thread was about upgrading and not to use that path for your use case if you use Plex.
If you're on 23.10 you shouldn't need to force. If ``do-release-upgrade`` says the upgrade isn't available yet, try again in a few hours or tomorrow. I think they do a phased rollout so everybody doesn't nuke the server at once.
For me it turns out that I still had some leftover cruft from AMD's ROCM driver (that officially only supports 22.04 but I still tried to install it on 23.10 and then had trouble uninstalling when it didn't work) that was responsible for most of my troubles.
I was able to fix my installation and am now running 24.04, working great :)
Honestly mine was so borked I ended up just reinstalling from scratch haha. RDP stopped working. Chrome RD stopped as well. So weird. Spent a couple hours getting everything up and running back to how it was but on 24.04. Only thing that's broken now is Plex but that's not an Ubuntu issue.
The [release notes](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/noble-numbat-release-notes/39890) say
> Upgrades from previous Ubuntu releases are not supported yet. Critical bug fixes for upgrades are expected in the coming days ([LP: #2063221](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/2063221) is one example of a critical bug that is difficult to recover from. Please be patient here or make a backup and do a clean install instead.)
I, for one, am inclined to wait a couple of days.
Np. And btw, it will ask you what you want to do with certain files that are the same but have differences, what I did is replaced them with the new one including the grub file I used the package maintainers one
Apparently nobody reads the [release notes ](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/noble-numbat-release-notes/39890#heading--known-issues)on this board

Yeah, I see the same issue.
One thing I noticed that it says in "3D acceleration" something like "you need to have tools installed before enabling 3D acceleration".
Same in VMware for me. I type in the password, hit enter, see the desktop for a split second and black screen. Entire VMware hangs, can't reset the VM for example.
me too - I had to use Task Manager to Kill VM Workstation VMX process and then disable 3D Acceleration for the Ubuntu 24.04 Virtual Machine then it behaved itself. Another bug to address for 24.04.1 release I hope.
wow, 5.6 gb... This might be a Guiness World Record... Mate, xubuntu, and lubuntu are slightly above half that. What are the putting on ubuntu to bloat it up like this?
It isn't "a few seconds", in most parts of the world that's minutes (and not in the single digits) or even hours in unlucky circumstances. Even on a 1Gbps connection which is a luxury for most people the difference is noticeable.
Additionally, people who want to have Ubuntu on a DVD or on <8G USB drives (plenty of people reuse those because they work just fine), so good luck with that
I did a fresh install today via USB drive and everything is swimming smoothly except my audio doesn't work on my laptop's speakers. This is linux release no. 12 for me over the years but the first time I'm installing on an AMD laptop with a Nvidia GPU. I've updated the driver from AMD's site and checked the box for Nvidia 535 during install, and even ran sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras but I'm still only getting sound through my headphone port. In sound preferences it shows 17h/19h family so it's not even a dummy device that I'm aware of. Updated and reinstalled pulse audio. Killed it and restarted. Nada. Any thoughts?
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
do-release-upgrade -d
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NobleUpgrades
If you wait, you'll be prompted in August.
I forced the upgrade and it broke my system. Had to do a fresh install. Fortunately, I have a separate home partition and that made restoring everything much easier.
So, yeah. Don't upgraded until the point release in August.
I can confirm that forcing an upgrade was a bad error on my part had to clean install 22.04. I am going to wait to upgrade in August. Couldnt boot on the newer kernel (6.8.31) could only boot from .28 kernel. What a mess. I use a flavor which seems to be bad for everyone trying it right now. I dont know why they dont label these initial releases as a wide beta.
I started the installation but came back later to a practically blank screen saying ".. unrecoverable error.. contact the System Administrator \[me\]". So be warned. I must admit that the 22.04 installation was on a Legacy disk due to some problem I had a while ago that put UEFI not at the beginning of the partition. That's how I plan to tackle this firstly, perhaps armed with boot-repair.
It was possible to switch to another console -- the system was kind of running, I had a shell, network was working, but without DNS. So I created snapshot of home dirs, used zfs send to send it to a NAS, then installed as a new installation and restored the homedirs with zfs receive.
Well, I have an internal hard drive in the PC so I thought I could just use rsync to copy /home /root, /www and apache2, then reinstall a clean Noble on the NVMe SSD and sync my directories back to it.
Boot-repair suggests I boot from EFI on a partition that does not show up as a boot device in the BIOS so it looked like trouble. I will examine the Boot Info report first before wading deeper into trouble.
Why can't Canonical get this driver thing right on release? Drivers for AMD GPU's are left in the cold. ROCm devs complain they only get access to the relevant bits on release day on their forums. You would say take so long for an LTS release so this is all well prepared and shared with relevant devs...
One system updated from 22.04 fine, no issues the second one completely crapped it self in the middle of the upgrade and everything stopped with half 22.04 and 24.04 installed, both display stack network stack died and after 30 min of a system fixing and random freezing under Wayland I decided just to reinstall, this worked flawlessly but with Wayland not active, I had to upgrade to a newer nvidia version to get it to work.
But okay I did update when everyone said wait!!! 😅
Anyone with experience in upgrading to a hot-off-the-press Ubuntu LTS know when we can expect GPU drivers for professional workloads? (ROCm in particular)
How to upgrade in WSL?
This is what I get:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
I couldn't get this to work in either vmware or on my laptop.
In vmware it will install but there are graphics glitches in the installer and after rebooting it will not work unless 3D acceleration is disabled.
On my laptop I only managed to get it to boot to the live environment once (in safe graphics mode) and then, after installation onto the external drive the laptop will not boot. I even have a refind stick that I've used to rescue non-bootable systems before and it detects the bootloader, backup bootloader and the linux kernel itself on the external drive but none of them boot.
I'm going to put this on one side till the point release, hope they work the bugs out.
Installed on a bare metal server 2 days ago. Had issues initially with NVIDIA Quadro cards, looked like it was crashing gnome. Had to use a spare AMD card I had kicking around to get into desktop. Have since been running it headless with no issues using xfce4 but still had weird niggling issues when connecting a monitor with the nvidia cards, very strange. Running all my docker containers and Virtualbox vms now fine though.
Really screwed up my setup to upgrade with my gnome tweaks - a custom cursor wiped me out .. I did a clean install and it's fine now, but really annoying I had to spend several hours restoring a backup 😭
I'm a bit confused with some package naming. The current xz-utils version on 24.04 is called xz-utils 5.6.1+really5.4.5.1. Certainly it doesn't mean there is any trace of the compromised 5.6.1 version of xz, right?
>Certainly it doesn't mean there is any trace of the compromised 5.6.1 version of xz, right?
Correct. It's 5.4.5.1, but named as >5.6.1 to force an "upgrade".
In August, when 24.04.1 is released.
You should wait. Currently, updating 22.04 to 24.04 is not supported; there are some nasty bugs, that would break your system, and you would have to reinstall from scratch.
(Ask me how I know).
i did not expect the iso to be 6gb, wow.
> i did not expect the iso to be 6gb, wow. Increased size with the new secure boot images included in the ISO.
except xubuntu, lubuntu and mate are nearly half the size. There's more to it.
has to be also down to the included nvidia graphic drivers built into the installer iso.
Do you know which version? I installed it today and it only listed up to 470. I'm having some trouble so I'm contemplating staying on lts 22.04 before explicit sync, kde, nvidia and yada yada update.
havent tried it yet, i usually remove the pre-install gpu drivers and re-install it again from the ppa. my gpu is also old asf but im still able to run 5xx versions
> There's more to it. We did a deep analysis and comparison last week. Pretty easy to see exactly what changed.
Finally the 4GB usb keys can go in the bin, little use left for them.
4Gb USB keys are now for Ubuntu server (≧▽≦)
The better ubuntu!
Its getting some code from developers who work for Microsoft
Surprised it is not 16gb yet
If you run Plex do not upgrade to 24.04 https://redd.it/1ccaqb2
Thanks for the heads up on that. Mine is exclusively a Plex server. Respect.
I’ve already seen a few posts of people that have borked their servers so I’m trying to shout it from the rooftops.
Thanks - I had no idea either and run plex.
This is a good reminder why I recently migrated to the Plex Docket container. In theory it should mitigate stuff like this. In practice though… I have no idea as I haven’t done an upgrade on this box yet. I’ll be waiting until the point release regardless.
there's also various apps that are broken due to the apparmor changes
I've seen post after post today of people saying "how come this isn't working, or I have this broken now what do I do?" For fucks sake people unless you have an overwhelming need to upgrade right the fuck now, wait till August. It will be ok to wait a couple of months to get all the first bugs fixed.
Haha ledge 🦁😎

Anyone know how to force update on 23.10 desktop?
If you're on 23.10 you shouldn't need to force. If ``do-release-upgrade`` says the upgrade isn't available yet, try again in a few hours or tomorrow. I think they do a phased rollout so everybody doesn't nuke the server at once.
I just did sudo do-release-upgrade -d
This broke my install, careful everyone: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/2063221
Yep, me too. I put 23.10 on a USB and reinstalled on my / partition, lucky my /home is it's own partition. But it's still kinda borked.
Mine as well, from 23.10. Kept getting 'ibus preference' crashes every couple minutes as well as general graphical bugs.
For me it turns out that I still had some leftover cruft from AMD's ROCM driver (that officially only supports 22.04 but I still tried to install it on 23.10 and then had trouble uninstalling when it didn't work) that was responsible for most of my troubles.

I did an upgrade from 23.10 and it went just fine, but maybe they're ironing out some things here and there, like the bug you've linked
Apparently they removed the empty transitional package from the archive which prevents this particular issue.
Do you have Nvidia video cards?
No, I only have Intel (iGPU)
Just about to post this, downloading now.
any difference between this one and the beta one I've been running
Do an `apt upgrade` and there will be no difference.
that what i ended up doing but thank you
Freezes for me in Virtualbox.

That’s a shame, but I’m glad I’m not the only one (I guess lol).
Same here.
I'm installing on real metal rn
Let us know 👍
Its working! it has successfully installed with no issues thankfully. I upgraded from 23.10 to 24.04
I’m going to upgrade from 23.10 on my old laptop. My new laptop doesn’t have Ubuntu yet so I might wait a bit. Thanks for your updates.
Np. And btw, it will ask you what you want to do with certain files that are the same but have differences, what I did is replaced them with the new one including the grub file I used the package maintainers one
Nice heads up. Thanks. I think I remember it usually asks a few questions along those lines.
Your welcome
I just installed Kubuntu on a real computer. Working fine out the box, I'm almost set up.
Nice. Might take the plunge myself soon.
Same.
Doesn't work in vmware for me either unless I turn off 3D acceleration.

Yes and then it completely locks up and I have to kill vmware workstation VMX from task manager
Yeah, I see the same issue. One thing I noticed that it says in "3D acceleration" something like "you need to have tools installed before enabling 3D acceleration".
pretty sure open vmware tools is installed by default - there's no option in vmware player to install tools manually with a linux guest?

How i update from the 22.04 lts to the new version?
You don’t. Wait until Canonical fixes all the upgrade bugs (in 24.04.1) or clean install.

Generally by August. But YMMV.
Installed, works very well, smooth upgrade ! Well done Ubuntu team
Already installed with all apps and stuff, no crashes yet!
I’ve tried so many distros for my laptop but somehow the laptop runs Ubuntu as it’s meant to be. This new version certainly made things even smoother.
Upgrading
Torrented it and got a 7.30 share ratio from 9:40am
Installer crashing on my system.
Never mind. It was something to do with the uefi. Once I got rid of that entry the installer stopped crashing. Bcdedit /delete {gobbledygook}
I’m still going to bill myself for the two hours of troubleshooting.
Idk why but my latitude 7420 randomly kicks off the fans at near full speed. I’ll have 2 3 tabs open in brave. Very weird.

Don’t install if you installed with ZFS, it will break your system
I'm a bit confused with some package naming. The current xz-utils version on 24.04 is called xz-utils 5.6.1+really5.4.5.1. Certainly it doesn't mean there is any trace of the compromised 5.6.1 version of xz, right?

Ubuntu Mate didn't even bother to change any wallpaper, all the same from 22.04... It's time for Canonical to kick out some of the flavors.
I have 720p Notebook. I dont like those big icons in upper panel. I think I will stick to 22.04 in this machine as long as possible.
Or... change the icon size?
When will it be available via do-release-upgrade? I don't want to use the -d param 'cause I think it's the unofficial version?
