Ubuntu and Xubuntu 25.04 Daily Builds

Pre-Release Discussion
1

I want to report that I was able to successfully install the daily builds from both Ubuntu and Xubuntu in virtual machines using Boxes on Gnome.

I am using older architecture, an HP Pavilion G6 with BIOS, not UEFI. i3 processor with 8GB RAM.

No issues encountered during the installs.

I do, however, have one comment but am not sure to whom this should be addressed:
On the screen about Help it mentions Ask Ubuntu first and then Discourse.

Perhaps Canonical, the developers might want to consider making Ubuntu Discourse more prominent since it is now merged with Ubuntu Forums?

I agree strongly on that matter. :wink:

And Iā€™m sure you meant >>> VERSION_ID=ā€œ25.04ā€

I have been putting this system through some very hard grinds, with ZFS root and so far this has a very stable feel to it.

This is not advisable, but as a tester: (It fixed a few paper cuts Xwayland and suspend)

Iā€™m eager to get this driver into our Main Sources. Very smooth so far, but beware of Kernel upgrades.
Thanks rubi1200 for your results.

Discussing and developing that kind of idea is what the Lounge is for. Consider starting a new topic there.

@ian-weisser thank you! Slowly but surely I hope to become as familiar here as I was on UF.

@1fallen thank you for the correction, have edited the thread title.

Yes, completely agree
It would be very remiss of Canonical not use this opportunity to promote Ubuntu and the support offered by Ubuntu users.

The desktop download of Feb 14 would not install. In the live session, clicking on the install icon results in a core dump. This happened in Virtualbox and my thinkpad laptop.
