I was just into upgrading to the newest Ubuntu 9.10 release, Karmic Koala, launched on Oct. 30th. However, there are some issues which should be considered:

  • Ipods are not recognized by Banshee & Co anymore due to the change from HAL to Device-Kit, but some people work already on a fix for this problem (Bug #382941 -high priority) and a not too pretty workaround is explained at bugzilla
  • the window list application crash for vertical gnome panels is still existing, an upcoming fix is still unknown, but a workaround is easy and should work for Karmic Koala (not tested yet)
  • more?
