\nContent-Type: text\/plain<\/p>\nI get emails and an msg’s on IRC regularly thanking me for the work I do
\nwith Ubuntu’s kernel, but today, I’d like to thank the community.<\/p>\nDuring the last 4-5 days, we’ve hit on some extremely serious bugs in
\nthe kernel, just before release. I think the total count was 5 major
\nbugs, and a couple slightly less serious ones. The kernel team, and a
\nfew other distro team members stayed up some long sleepless nights
\nworking on these issues. However, that’s what we get paid for. So the
\ncommunity that stayed up with us on these long nights deserve just as
\nmuch appreciation, if not more.<\/p>\nFor each of these bugs, we had at least 4 people on IRC (and some times
\nas many as 7) performing every trivial task we asked them to do, in a
\nvery short time frame in order to debug and test fixes for the various
\nissues. It would be an understatement to say that they were key in
\nhelping us get these bugs fixed and tested quickly, and by the same
\ntoken, get the release out on time.<\/p>\nMy hats off to you all, you know who you are. I apologize for not having
\nnames. I’m sure the entire distro team sends their thanks as well.<\/p>\nI hope you all enjoy Feisty Fawn when it’s released. It truly is a
\ncommunity effort to get so much done in 6 months.<\/p>\n—

You cannot upgrade from Feisty Beta<\/strong> to Feisty RC.<\/strong><\/p>\n
you cannot use sudo $ gksu “update-manager -c”<\/strong> since it is for updating the release in packages. I do not know how we’re going to update to the RC! I must have to reinstall. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
