This is an updated tutorial on how to install Camfrog Server on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). When I first saw that Camfrog Server was released I was excited until I realized it was only for RedHat AS/ES 4.x 5.x, CentOS 4.x 5.x, Fedora 6.x 7.x 8.x operating systems.

Releases are big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big they are. I mean, you may think it’s a long haul to release a single Linux package or application, but that’s just peanuts to a Linux distribution release. Because of this, we must work our way up to it, incrementally…bit by bit…milestone by [...]

Here I am writing complete instructions on recovery process which includes DHCP and TFTP server setup on Ubuntu 10.10 (Beta). The basic purpose of this post is as a reference for myself in future.

If you are currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and are interested in 10.10 you have choices – you can burn yourself an ISO and do a complete, fresh installation, OR you can upgrade using apt-get without having to bother with a re-installation.

I have just one question to ask: why is it being released at all? What major changes are present to justify an upgrade? If all that the new version has to show is incremental changes in version numbers of major applications, why is there the need for so much hoo-haa?

Reading the Ubuntu Planet today, I came across a post which mentions a new “feature” that is going to be in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat: Evolution, the default Ubuntu email client will automatically add a “Sent from Ubuntu” signature to the emails you send.

The Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat final release is very close (23 days) yet so many repositories are not ready for it: GetDeb, Medibuntu and many others. So we must find alternatives to install some applications.

Maverick Meerkat follows the Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS release so for some this offers a chance to experiment, with a little wider tolerance for more revolutionary features. Ubuntu developer, Dave Walker, talks us through some new features and development background…

ke you all know, the community wasn’t too happy with the wallpaper chosen to be default for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat (so unhappy that a bug was submitted) so a new one was to be created. And here it is, the final Ubuntu 10.10 default wallpaper:

VLMC crashed a lot until today when I was finally able to edit a video and upload it to YouTube (but YouTube failed to convert it) through VLMC so I though this would be a good time to post about it on WebUpd8. The PPA will be updated daily from the VLMC git using a [...]

I just updated to the latest Ubuntu 10.10 desktop and noticed that boot time is now extremely fast! My Intel Core 2 Duo 2.80GHz laptop with an Intel SSD now boots in 8.6 seconds! That is from boot loader all the way to logged in and ready to use! Nice work Ubuntu

For Maverick Meerkat we’re continuing improving the ARM support for Ubuntu. With Lucid we got the first release optimized for ARMv7 (Thumb2 and SoftFP but not NEON), and for Maverick the plan is to keep the same ARM optimizations as base, but improving board support and user experience.

What’s new in Ubuntu 10.10? According to its release announcement, the Maverick desktop edition beta features “ever-faster boot speeds, with improved startup times and a smoother, streamlined boot experience.”

This is a beta release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released on October 10, 2010. This screenshots gallery includes new installer,applications and more

Just thought I should clear up what’s going on with Ubuntu’s installer slideshow for Maverick, since I’ve been getting lots of bug reports about it.

The Ubuntu Software Center is probably one of the most actively developed feature for Maverick. It now has an updated look with features apps and new apps. It has also got plugin supports and some form of social media integration.

It’s almost that time everyone. The tenth month of the year can only mean one thing with respect to Linux – the next Ubuntu release. In this case that release is 10.10, or Maverick Meerkat. This is the second release in the latest LTS (Long Term Support) release and ut promises to bring an even [...]

Ubuntu fans, fire up your virtual machines. The beta release of Ubuntu 10.10 is here. Maverick Meerkat, as this release is known, is actually several weeks ahead of the original schedule, and that means Ubuntu 10.10 is on track for its final release October 10

An early look at the next release of Ubuntu’s Linux desktop hit the web late yesterday. What’s in 10.10, or “Maverick Meerkat,” for desktop users? Besides app updates, there’s a new photo manager, improved multimedia controls, better Ubuntu One syncing, and more

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 10.10 beta.

Ubuntu developer, Dave Walker, shares more insight into the development of Ubunutu 10.10. This month, the Ubuntu platform sprint rally goes under the spotlight…

Canonical planned on introducing Btrfs support in the upcoming Ubuntu release, i.e. Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. They even said that it might be the default filesystem in Maverick. According to a recent update in the Ubuntu Btrfs Support blueprints, Btrfs will not make it to Maverick.

When Canonical broke the news recently that Ubuntu 10.10 will include uTouch 1.0, a multitouch and gesture stack, it caused a flurry of excitement about the Linux release’s potential for use in tablets.

Ubuntu Software Center is something we all overlooked for long. Even while writing tutorials about installing different applications in this blog, I prefer to provide command line instructions only. But a lot of Ubuntu users are new comers and Software Center means a lot to them.

Ubuntu 10.10, codenamed Maverick Meerkat, is still two months from its final release. However, if the first alpha and the forecasts about it are an accurate indication, the release is already taking on a character all its own.

The Ubuntu Live CD is the first experience many new users will have of Ubuntu. The installation experience should be attractive and effortless to reassure new users that Ubuntu is the right choice. The process should feel safe and should only highlight risk when necessary

Maverick Meerkat, as the 10.10 release will be known, is adding support for multi-touch of all kinds – it may be that Apple devices like the mouse and touchpad will be fully supported by the enthusiastic development team on Meerkat before anyone makes some drivers that allow those items to be used on Windows 7.

Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth proudly announced a few minutes ago that the upcoming Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) operating system will have support for gestures, with multi-touch. This is possible via Ubuntu’s uTouch 1.0 gesture and multi-touch stack.

Using this new installer for Ubuntu 10.10 also supports specifying network connection information for easy wireless setup and Ubuntu package updates can also be installed automatically. We tried out this new installer over the weekend using an Ubuntu daily LiveCD. Ubuntu’s alternate/server installer is unchanged.

The release of Ubuntu 10.10 is getting closer and details of what will be included are starting to become clear
