With over a year without an update, TomB has retired from the nUbuntu project and has handed it off to myself, Brendan Almonte. This has brought nUbuntu a new server and a dedicated developer. Expect some time in the near future to receive an alpha version of nUbuntu 7.10.

I'm looking for lists of new ideas and changes that you would like to see in this distribution. These can all be addressed in our forums at forums.nubuntu.org

Any questions or comments, please do not email me, but address them in the forums at forums.nubuntu.org

Not many people showed up, although some progress was made, I will organise another meeting some time next month. For those people who couldn't make it, there is a log here.

This is just an update for those who wish to attend the developer meeting. If you wish to attend I would appreciate being sent an email saying you can attend. This will help me figure out the numbers of those who are going to attend. Those who have already sent me an email saying they are going to attend do not need to do this. Thanks.

I am holding a development meeting regarding the development of the next nUbuntu release on the 3rd of July at 9PM GMT. The meeting will be held in #nubuntudev. Logs of the meeting will be hosted for people who are unable to attend. If you are wishing to attend please drop me an email at team@nubuntu.org. The meeting will discuss how we plan to start development, and what we need to accomplish the release. If you require more information please send me an email at the above address. Thanks

With my University exams coming up, I am going to be short of time to work on nUbuntu. With Fiesty Fawn just having been released I would like to roll-out a 7.04 version of nUbuntu.

I am looking to put together a close team of developers who would like to help put nUbuntu together. I would like the team to have a good knowledge of Linux and preferably Ubuntu.

If you would like to apply for a position in the nUbuntu development team, please send and email to team@nubuntu.org.

A friend and I have had success installing nUbuntu onto hard drives. If you follow my instructions to the letter, you should find nUbuntu installs without the grub error.

Boot the nUbuntu LiveCD, without changing any boot options (i.e. key layout, language).

1) Execute sudo apt-get install ubiquity. Let all the packages install.
2) Execute setupcon. This should change the console font, and resolution.
3) Execute startx. This will start the X server and Fluxbox.
4) Open a terminal from the Fluxbox menu.
5) Execute sudo ubiquity. This will start the Ubiquity user interface.
6) Following the Ubiquity instructions.
7) Let it download the language packs, and anything else it needs to download.
8) If successful it should ask you to restart your computer, or if you received the grub error, please email your logs.
9) If it worked and you rebooted, you should be greeted with a login prompt. Login and then run startx.
10) The Fluxbox style will be messed up. This can be sorted by choosing the bean theme from the Styles context-menu.

If this worked you should have nUbuntu successfully installed on your system. Congratulations.
