Installing from usb failed: after pressing Enter to install I just have a black screen. I may have borked the setup of my usb source key (though it usually works with usb-creator-gtk) and will try again. As a result I just installed Ubuntu vanilla, and installed ubuntustudio-desktop and ubuntustudio-audio* and added my user to the audio group. Went fine. 2. Network-manager works fine (except the fact that the icon is shown incorrectly when used in the classic Notification area, but it's known and Mathieu Trudel says it's being fixed) 3. JACK starts great then, and latencies are as usual with -generic 4. Installing abogani's lowlatency failed because of missing headers :-/ ; here is what I have: sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency linux-headers-lowlatency linux-headers-2.6.38-8-lowlatency The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-2.6.38-8-lowlatency : Depends: linux-headers-2.6.38-8 but it is not installable Alessio, could you update your ppa? 5. The desktop feels weird: previously Studio stuck with gnome2, traditional applets and all, and it was ok. Here we have a Natty that looks like a mix of new indicator/ubuntu elements and old gnome2 stuff. I don't know, it's kinda Frankenstein-ish, doesn't feel coherent and doesn't give you the best of both worlds, quite the contrary. Maybe UI reconsiderations should be planned for Oneiric? Staying to full classic GNOME (without global menu, without indicator applets), or Unity 2D if it is in an acceptable state.

Thanks for testing and reporting your findings :) I'd like to add a few comments and a question. 1. I question that stable, consistent installation from USB is currently possible. I have heard that some have accomplished it, but I really am not certain it can be done consistently. Holstein has done some looking into this as well. Perhaps he more information. But I can say that while this is not a priority for the Ubuntu Studio team I would like to see us move in this direction though. 2. I am very happy to hear positive (or any!) feedback about network manager. To remind, we switched from gnome-network-admin to network-manager so that users will have better connectivity after installation. 3. I'm not sure I understand what you are stating. Are you saying the -generic performed as expected? And that is acceptable? 4. No comment. 5. We are looking into UI considerations for Ocelot. Again, thank you for your email and comments :) ScottL
