Colin Watson announced at ubuntu-devel-announce that Feisty RC will be delayed due to problems with certain ATA chipsets and problems with the connection status displayed by the network-manager panel applet. New release date hasn't been announced, but it should be a matter of days.
Update (14.04.2007, 11:06 UTC):
I asked Colin Watson if these issues could delay the final release. He replied (and kindly allowed me to quote him), saying it might be the case:
it is possible that this will delay the final release
by a small number of days, but we are making every effort to avoid that
at the moment.
Colin Watson is an Ubuntu Community Council member and Canonical employee.

The release Date for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn has been delayed due to validation bugs, There is no ETA yet, but the Ubuntu team hopes the delay will be just a few days.
Here the complete note:
"The Ubuntu 7.04 release candidate (due today) has been delayed due to
bugs discovered during validation testing, specifically problems with
certain ATA chipsets and problems with the connection status displayed 640-553 642-845 642-825 642-436
by the network-manager panel applet. There is no updated ETA yet, but
the core development team is actively working on the problems and expect
it to be a matter of days.
We'll put out a further announcement when more is known, and in the
meantime we ask our testing community to stay alert for notices of
specific change

Sounds like a bit of lulz in development.

Take your time... id rather wait for a working product than have a broken product.....

I respect the unwillingness to simply release a small number of days past due.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 01:06
oh well. it's better than pushing the release date back to october
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 01:44
I don't think I've ever been this excited about a software release. I'm stoked (STOKED!!1) about the release, but I'd rather have a livecd that will work.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 02:50
I was pissed about Leopard being late, but I'm not paying for Feisty so I can't complain!
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 03:03
This is no big deal, a couple of days, I can wait.

This weekend Fiesty beta ran into serious kernel-level troubles. Beta testers are reporting a total inability to boot. People running mid-to-high-end NVidia video appear to be hit hardest.
I've been running Feisty since late Alpha and until this latest episode everything was smooth as silk. To say Feisty has "potential" is an understatement - it was more stable as late alpha (Herd5) than most distros are in production, and with all sorts of killer features. WiFi is massively improved, the auto-loading of codecs works, it's running really advanced stuff like OpenOffice 2.2, kernel 2.6.20x and much more.
Then this weekend...I won't say it's as bad as "the wheels fell off" but it's bad, much worse than is stated here. Something came radically unglued.
They'll fix it, but by the 19th? I doubt it.

I'd rather see the final version that works 100% than something that is broken from the start.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 10:51
I'd rather see the final version that works 100% on the announced release date than the same a couple of day later.
See ? :)

I love Ubuntu, but I am getting increasingly frustrated with bugs - there are just far too many little hardware glitches that are being ignored. The bug-tracker is full of unresolved bugs. Often the solution is in the comments, but no one has bothered to implement it in the latest Feisty build. Less focus on the 'neat-o' stuff, and more focus on making running it a clean, error and frustration free process.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 04:19
Oh horse crap!! They just want to be kool like OsX
monkey see monkey do :)
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 04:22
well ive been running the feisty beta with beta nvidia drivers for a while now and the only problem ive had so far is the network manager saying i didn't have a connection, but i still did, so i just ignored it.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 06:13
Hey, it's the right thing to do.
Immagine getting a final and then having it kill your data with a known bug. Microsoft and Apple have both done that.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 07:06
This is why I'm still using Ubuntu 7.0.3.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 07:58
Applause for the great work that ubuntu folks have done! :)
Double applause for being so forthright with the status! :)
Looking forward to fiesty when it's out. :)
There are many commercial products that aren't so open about product roadmaps or status, and we are paying for them! I'm using the beta right now and so far it's working as always, and yes, the network icon is crazy at best.
I also notice that my dual-boot winXP does crazy things to ubuntu if I hibernate in XP and then run ubuntu. I'm unable to access the ntfs partition properly. Supposed to be something to do with XP not setting the ntfs flag properly or something.

Well - Have been on the current Fiesty Beta for sometime on my Toshibal laptop. Things are working quite well.
a) Got into some boot delay - with some service hanging for 2 minutes - but within 2-3 days with an upgrade went thru
b) Network Manager - this works great feature wise. But stability wise it misbehaves often.
Last time around I was knocked out of both Wireless and Lan. Had to uninstall Network Manager
c) Overall the build seems quite stable - and with the new office, kernel and gnome - lots of patches to Evolution etc. have made life quite cool
Here's wishing the best for a stable Fiesty release. Take your time folks.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 20:01
Do it the microsoft way. They have years of experance at this. Release it now, claim it is the newst and best (also that it is very different from before). Then release a few bug fixes, wait 1/2 a year then release the real version, next put all of your time into helping users that were affected by the changes.
Seriously were are all happy to wait for your new operating system. Thanks for the hard work.
Sun, 15/04/2007 - 22:38
I was going to say exactly the same thing.
Mon, 16/04/2007 - 07:07
You can't say it while your system just doesn't boot :) Apparently the Feisty was hit with Friday, 13. bug squad ;)
The NetApp works now, the system boots but nvidia kernel module is still crashing X. So maybe it will really be only few days delay. Don't panic, folks.
Side note: the look at my grub boot list is enough to recall the old geek mating woo: "Come on, babe. I'll show you my collection of Linux kernels". Maybe it's possible to clean it up for users before the final release?
Mon, 16/04/2007 - 09:19
/boot/grub/menu.lst is regenerated after you install / remove kernels.
Use Synaptic to remove those kernel versions that you don't want.

sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.20-??-*

Will all you losers shut the hell up and stop whining?!? It'll be released when it's released! Better late than not working! For fuck's sake...
Mon, 16/04/2007 - 13:29
Have you even read the comments? Hardly anyone is complaining...
Mon, 16/04/2007 - 14:09
Honestly I hope this gives them time to fix some hardware issues.
The way feisty is at the moment there are major problems with Intel HDA soundcards (and some others). Since kernel update 2.6.20-14 my intel card has not provided me with any sound and unfortunately it seems unlikely this will be fixed by release. So im stuck booting 2.6.20-13 which works fine but the final release will have one of the newer kernels which likely leaves me (and many others) with no sound.
Oh well either they fix it or ill skip to a different distribution. Hope they fix it though I like ubuntu.
Mon, 16/04/2007 - 15:33
Can't you just boot the older kernel until one of the later releases fix that bug? Seems like a good solution, unless you really care about security or find those newer kernels appealing for some other reason.

Quoting http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu704:
„LONDON, April 16, 2007 – For users wanting a secure, feature rich alternative to Microsoft Windows, Canonical Ltd., the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, announced today the Thursday release of Ubuntu version 7.04.“
So... I guess it will not be delayed.
Wed, 18/04/2007 - 10:44
Last night I talked to pochu at #ubuntu-iso (they're responsible for testing of final candidates. No critical bugs were found by that time and it looked like thursday is probably going to happen :)

Regardless of their price, those who wear them revere even the low cost Audemars Piguet fake replica watches.They know that these Audemars Piguet replica watches work in extreme weather conditions like the real ones. They also know that the owners can flaunt the Audemars Piguet replica watch proudly whilst they are in the company of family and friends.

Even though people are earning more than they used to a few years back, most of them prefer to buy Audemars Piguet replica watches . It is really strange when one thinks about it. Why should they purchase replica watches when they can easily purchase genuine replica watch.Replica Omega
