Upstart
As part of our boot performance work, we have now transitioned to Upstart. If you are testing on your primary machine, we strongly suggest having an Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD available, or creating an Alpha 5 USB startup disk before doing an upgrade. This will allow us to help you recover in the case that something goes wrong during the boot of your system after upgrade. We request that all bugs affecting the performance or functionality of boot be tagged with ubuntu-boot in Launchpad.Boot Experience
作为提高系统启动性能工作的一部分,目前我们已经过渡到 Upstart。如果您是在重要的机器上测试,我们强烈建议您在升级前准备一张 Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD光盘,或者创建一个Alpha 5的USB启动盘。这将使我们能够在您升级之后启动系统过程中发生故障时帮助您恢复系统。我们要求把所有影响系统启动性能和启动功能的bug都用ubuntu-boot标记在Launchpad.Boot 体验版面。
We've done some work on improving the overall look and feel of booting the system. Please open bugs with the tag "ubuntu-boot-experience" on any messages you see flashed after grub loads and before the new Ubuntu Splash screen (xsplash) displays. If you have trouble catching them before the splash screen loads, you can also check vt1 or dmesg output for copies of these messages. We also accept photos or video attachments if that's easier, however please make sure the text is readable. Software Center
我们在改进系统整体观感方面做了一些工作。如果在grub加载之后,显示Ubuntu Splash Screen(xsplash)之前您看到任何带有“ubuntu-boot-experience”标签的消息,请发送bug报告给我们。如果你在splash画面加载之前无法捕获到这些消息,您还可以通过检查vt1或dmesg命令输出获得这些消息的副本。我们也接受图片或视频附件-如果您觉得那样更方便的话,不过,清确保文字部分能看得清。
Software Center
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta includes the Ubuntu Software Center, replacing 'Add/Remove' in the Applications menu. We kindly request users to try it out, and report any bugs they find.
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta版包括Ubuntu Software Center(ubuntu软件中心),用以替代应用程序菜单中的'Add/Remove'(添加/删除)项。我们真诚的请求ubuntu用户试用这一新功能,并且报告发现的bug。
==
GNOME
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta includes the latest GNOME 2.28 desktop environment with a number of great new features:
- Empathy has replaced Pidgin as the default instant messaging client, introducing the Telepathy framework.
- The gdm 2.28 login manager is a complete rewrite compared to the version in earlier Ubuntu releases, permitting a more integrated login experience.
Application development with Quickly
Quickly makes it easy for developers to make new applications for Ubuntu, and to share those application with other Ubuntu users via .deb packages or personal package archives.
GNOME
ubuntu 9.10测式版包括了GNOME的最新版本GNOME 2.28 桌面环境,此版本包括了多项非常先进的功能。
- 引入了 Telepathy 架构的Empathy已替换Pidgin成为首选的即时通讯客户端。
- Ubuntu 9.10 完成了对登录入管理程序GDM 2.28的改写,这将带给您更好的登录体验。
Ubuntu 9.10 上的应用程序的开发比较迅速。
快速的帮助开发人员更为容易的为ubuntu开发出更为先进的软件,并且帮助他们更为方便的将开发的软件以 .deb安装包的形式或私有档案包的形式和他人共享。
==
Kubuntu
Kubuntu 9.10 includes the first Kubuntu Netbook release, Social from the Start and the latest KDE packages. See the Kubuntu technical overview. Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Images
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta includes images for common use on Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) and Amazon's EC2. You can try out the latest Ubuntu 9.10 server image instantly on EC2 using a preconfigured AMI, or download an image and put it into your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. For information on using UEC images on Amazon EC2, see the EC2 Starter's Guide. Ubuntu One file sharing
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta ships the Ubuntu One file sharing service by default, providing tightly-integrated file synchronization of your computer with other computers and the Ubuntu One network storage service. Linux kernel 2.6.31
==
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta includes the 2.6.31-11.36 kernel based on 2.6.31.1. The kernel ships with Kernel Mode Setting enabled for Intel graphics (see below). linux-restricted-modules is deprecated in favour of DKMS packages. hal deprecation
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta's underlying technology for power management, laptop hotkeys, and handling of storage devices and cameras maps has moved from "hal" (which is in the process of being deprecated) to "DeviceKit-power", "DeviceKit-disks" and "udev". When testing Ubuntu 9.10 Beta, please be alert for regressions in those areas and report any bugs you find. New Intel video driver architecture available for testing
The Intel video driver has switched from the "EXA" acceleration method to the new "UXA", solving major performance problems of Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu 9.10 Beta also features kernel mode setting by default on Intel hardware, which reduces boot-time flickering and dramatically speeds up suspend/resume.

ext4 by default
默认 ext4
The new "ext4" filesystem is used by default for new installations with Ubuntu 9.10 Beta; of course, other filesystems are still available via the manual partitioner. Existing filesystems will not be upgraded.
新的 ext4 文件系统已经成为 Ubuntu 9.10 beta安装时的默认设置;当然,其他文件系统在手工分区时依然可以使用。当前文件系统不会被升级。
If you have full backups and are confident, you can upgrade an existing ext3 filesystem to ext4 by following directions in the Ext4 Howto. (Note that the comments on that page at the time of writing about Ubuntu's use of vol_id vs. blkid are out of date and are not applicable to Ubuntu 9.10 Beta.) Maximum performance will typically only be achieved on new filesystems, not on filesystems that have been upgraded from ext3.
假如你已经对当前系统做了完全备份,并且自信可以搞定未知问题,可以按照 Ext4 Howto 里的说明来升级当前的ext3到ext4。(注意:当时有关Ubuntu中使用vol_id vs. blkid的论述已经“过期”,并不适用于Ubuntu 9.10 Beta)不过,最佳性能只能由全新的ext4系统来体现,从ext3的升级并不能发挥ext4的全部实力。
==
GRUB 2 by default
GRUB 2 is the default boot loader for new installations with Ubuntu 9.10 Beta, replacing the previous GRUB "Legacy" boot loader. Existing systems will not be upgraded to GRUB 2 at this time, as automatically reinstalling the boot loader is an inherently risky operation.
If you wish to upgrade your system to GRUB 2, then see the GRUB 2 testing page for instructions. See also the upstream draft manual.
Some features are still missing relative to GRUB Legacy. Notable among these are lock/password support, an equivalent of grub-reboot, and Xen handling.
GRUB2 已经成为默认配置。
GRUB2已经成为Ubuntu9.10beta全新安装时默认的启动装载程序,代替了之前的GRUB版本:"Legacy"。考虑到升级现有系统的引导装载程序有一定风险,所以这次不会自动升级您的引导装载程序。
如果 您希望升级到GRUB2,请您阅读GRUB2测试者网页来获得信息,此页面同时提供了手动升级指南。
相比GRUB Legacy,还缺乏一些功能。值得注意的是这些功能中主要是锁和(或)密码支持,等同于 grub-reboot 和 Xen 的处理。
==
iSCSI installation
The iSCSI installation process has been improved, and no longer requires iscsi=true as a boot parameter; the installer will offer you the option of logging into iSCSI targets if there are no local disks, or you can select "Configure iSCSI" in the manual partitioner.
Putting the root filesystem on iSCSI is now supported.
iSCSI 安装
iSCSI的安装过程已做了改进,不再需要设置引导参数iscsi=true。在没有本地盘的时候安装程序提供了登录iSCSI目标设备(target)的选项,或者你可以在手工分区的时候选择"Configure iSCSI"。
当前已支持将根文件系统放置在iSCSI设备上。
==
AppArmor
AppArmor in Ubuntu 9.10 Beta features an improved parser that uses cache files, greatly speeding up AppArmor initialisation on boot. AppArmor also now supports 'pux' which, when specified, means a process can transition to an existing profile if one exists or simply run unconfined if one does not.
AppArmor
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta 中的AppArmor采用了一个改进的分析程序,
它使用缓冲文件极大地加快了系统引导时AppArmor的初始化速度。 AppArmor当前已支持'pux'选项,当此选项被设置后, 表明该进程在运行期间能够使用一个已有的配置,或者此进程的权限初始化为不受限制。
==
New profiles
In addition to the above changes to AppArmor itself, several profiles were added. Enforcing profiles for ntpd, the GNOME document viewer (evince), and libvirt are enabled by default. Complain mode profiles for Dovecot are now available in the apparmor-profiles package. A new profile is provided for Firefox as well, though it is disabled by default. Users can enable AppArmor sandboxing of their browser by running:
$ sudo aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5
Please see the SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase for a full listing of readily available profiles in Ubuntu.
==
Libvirt
Libvirt now contains AppArmor integration when using KVM or QEMU. Libvirtd is configured to launch virtual machines that are confined by uniquely restrictive AppArmor profiles. This feature significantly improves virtualisation in Ubuntu by providing user-space host protection as well as guest isolation. Uncomplicated Firewall
The Uncomplicated Firewall now has support for filtering by interface and egress filtering when using the ufw command. Documentation for ufw is also improved to help users better utilise the ufw framework and take full advantage of Linux netfilter's power and flexibility. See UbuntuFirewall#Features for a full list of features.
==
Non-eXecutable Emulation
Non-eXecutable (NX) memory protection, also known as eXecute-Disable (XD), has always been available in Ubuntu for any systems that had the hardware to support it and ran the 64-bit kernel or the 32-bit server kernel. The 32-bit PAE desktop kernel (linux-image-generic-pae) now also provides the PAE mode needed for hardware with the NX CPU feature.
For systems that lack NX hardware, the 32-bit kernels now provide an approximation of the NX CPU feature via software emulation that can help block many exploits an attacker might run from stack or heap memory. Blocking Module Loading
To block the loading of any further modules after boot (generally for servers with unchanging hardware), the /proc/sys/kernel/modules_disabled one-way sysctl flag now exists to add another layer of protections against attackers loading kernel rootkits.
==
Position-Independent Executables
Building on the work done in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 to proactively protect Ubuntu from unknown threats by using strict compiler flags, more applications have been built as Position-Independent Executables (PIE) to take advantage of the Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) available in the Ubuntu kernel.
In addition to the growing program list, PIE programs are now also built with the BIND_NOW linker flag to take full advantage of the existing RELRO linker flag. This results in PIE programs having fewer places in their memory that can be controlled to redirect program flow when an attacker attempts memory-corruption exploits.
==
Known issues
As is to be expected at this stage of the release process, there are several known bugs that users are likely to run into with Ubuntu 9.10 Beta. We have documented them here for your convenience along with any known workarounds, so that you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again:
- Some users with Intel video chipsets will experience a black screen on reboot after install because the fbcon module is not being loaded. As a workaround, users can boot with the i915.modeset=0 option. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. (431812)
- If a RAID partitioning scheme is used during installation the grub boot loader will only be installed on the first hard drive instead of all the drives. Booting the system if the first drive has failed will not work. As a workaround users can manually install grub to each disk in the array using the grub-install command (427048).
- Some users report that, in connection with the conversion of the base system to native upstart jobs, the system will fail to boot if the root partition has errors. As a workaround for this problem, users can boot from external media and run fsck manually. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. (432237)
- A bug in the boot-time ordering of NFS-related init scripts will prevent systems from booting if any "core" filesystems (including /usr or /home) are mounted over NFS. Users with such configurations are advised to wait for the Ubuntu 9.10 Release Candidate before ugrading. (431248)
- When performing an Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud setup from the Server CD, Eucalyptus components fail to automatically register the components. To solve this, immediately upgrade to the latest Eucalyptus packages after installation, and sudo restart eucalyptus. (438602, 439251).
- In the Ubuntu Moblin Remix developer preview, the sources.list in the live image and installed systems will miss the ~moblin PPA; you can add it manually for now (420048). Also, the web browser does not function correctly in the released image; a fix for this bug is available in the ~moblin PPA (439677).
