Ubuntu 14.04 released

Ubuntu 14.04 comes with Python 3.4, but unfortunately, it doesn&#x27;t bundle the ensurepip module (and a host of others). By the looks of things, the idea was to use Ubuntu&#x27;s own packages instead[1], but it didn&#x27;t make it in time.<p>This means that pip being bundled by default—one of Python 3.4 coolest features—is missing. Trying to create a virtualenv using the bundled virtualenv module fails as well. Big mess.[2]<p>[1] <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/3.4.0-2ubuntu1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;launchpad.net&#x2F;ubuntu&#x2F;+source&#x2F;python3.4&#x2F;3.4.0-2ubuntu...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1290847" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.launchpad.net&#x2F;ubuntu&#x2F;+source&#x2F;python3.4&#x2F;+bug&#x2F;129...</a>

For those of you who find the Unity desktop to be an overweight example of &quot;designer&quot; solipsism, try out the alternative light weight desktops like Lubuntu (LXDE based) or Xubuntu (XFCE based).<p>sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

Just a reminder that we are now publishing Vagrant boxes as well:<p>- <a href="https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vagrantcloud.com&#x2F;ubuntu</a>

If you use Emacs and depend on Ctrl-space note that you may have to disable the keybinding in ibus-setup and restart the ibus daemon. This bug was claimed to be fixed but it wasn&#x27;t for me. However I&#x27;m running Xmonad with some Gnome utilities.

Tried to find some sort of release notes, best thing I could find was this: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.ubuntu.com&#x2F;TrustyTahr&#x2F;ReleaseNotes</a><p>If someone has a better link, please share!

For some strange reason, the 14.04 release is not showing up for me with &quot;sudo do-release-upgrade&quot;. I have tried to update my primary software source to their main server and main for the US, and both did not show the availability of the new release.<p>As a friendly reminder, if you want to download the release as quickly as possible, use the torrent from <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;alternative-downloads</a> and be sure to seed for others.

From the release notes:<p>&quot;Hardware support - ARM multiplatform support has been added, enabling you to build a single ARM kernel image that can boot across multiple hardware platforms. Additionally, the ARM64 and Power architectures are now fully supported. &quot;<p>Really? Can you do openstack with ARM&#x2F;Power? what do you mean by &quot;fully supported&quot;, does it mean ARM&#x2F;Power&#x2F;x86 all have the same set of packages? it has not been the case in the past.

Its great to see another LTS. Finally time to update 12.04 version.

I don&#x27;t know about everyone else, but for me &quot;released&quot; means I can download it from the official location - <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;desktop</a> and that is not the case yet.

Magnet URI for desktop amd64:<p><pre><code> magnet:?xt=urn:btih:4d753474429d817b80ff9e0c441ca660ec5d2450&amp;dn=ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso&amp;tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftorrent.ubuntu.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&amp;tr=http%3A%2F%2Fipv6.torrent.ubuntu.com%3A6969%2Fannounce</code></pre>

Do people actually use jigdo?

Desktop and server pages are now pointing to 14.04 as well:<p>[1] <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;desktop</a> [2] <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;server</a>

Can anyone comment on the difference between the PC and the Mac 64 bit images?

Can anyone point the link to ubuntu gnome 14.04 ( final release ) ? All I can get is the trusty beta 2 on their official ubuntugnome.org.

At this point this is a link to beta 2 from March.

it still shows beta at the link given above

Anyone have any guesses as to when this will be available on DigitalOcean?<p>Edit: As of five minutes ago, it&#x27;s showing up!

Figures! I installed my first Ubuntu in years, 12.04.4 LTS, literally yesterday.

Since 10.10, when unity as desktop, ubuntu desktop is dead ... f..k Mark ...

So can you move the application dock to the bottom of the screen without recompiling yet?

Does Ubuntu still shill out personal data to Amazon?

What&#x27;s the deal with this &quot;Ubuntu Browser&quot; being set as the default?<p>I feel like Canonical has a serious Not Invented Here problem, where they keep trying to re-invent the wheel by writing their own desktop environment, window manager, browser, startup system, etc.

Downloading via Bittorrent! Getting 12.04 LTS with great speeds.
