Description
In kubuntu's case, it really does need a 8.041 updated CD. I hate to say it, but both the KDE4 and KDE3 live CD's are incredibly buggy.

- If you try to configure samba for instance in KDE3, it says you need to install Samba.. Well, samba comes preinstalled..
- The kde3/4 VNC server seems to ignore when you click that it should allow uninvited connections, and not confirm them. It still asks for confirmation sometimes.
- In KDE4, I dare people to try to configure their IP manually using the knetworkmanager (tried in sudo too). Its missing a .so. So people who cant use DHCP for instance, cant use it.
- A KDEsudo error popped up for me after reboot in KDE3 and KDE4.

I've found MANY bugs within the first hour of using them. Apple releases updated OSX discs without an uproar. We have to accept that kubuntu 8.04 isn't quite final yet, and do the same. And yes, tried Ubuntu too, and that was flawless. But both Kubuntu CD's have some pretty serious bugs.


And no, I'm not a Apple/Microsoft spy who is trying to cause a massive flamewar. Kubuntu has the potential to be a very stable OS, but we have to quickly patch these bugs, and re-release, or our first impression to users will be "buggy".

Yes please, same with Ubuntu.
A lot of people have found dozens of bugs in Ubuntu 8.04, even when installing etc..
This is critical, and I even consider waiting for 8.10 before I upgrade because of the amount of reported bugs in 8.04.

It's officially planned to release Ubuntu 8.04.1 on July 3rd 2008. It will include the latest updates at that moment.

This would be a very good idea. It is very disappointing to find so many bugs in a new distribution, although of course it's completely natural.

This is a suggestion completely unrelated to the thread, but maybe it's time to consider delaying releases for the sake of ensuring as few bug problems as possible. Particularly the bugs which have been persistent throughout various distributions.

This idea happened didn't it?
