Ubuntu Lucid Netbook and ARM Editions Reach End Of Life
Ubuntu Lucid Netbook and ARM Editions Reach End Of Life
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) Netbook and ARM editions were released on 29th of April, 2010. They were scheduled to be supported for 18 months and the support period for both of them ends today.
UNE was initially released with Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) and was known as Ubuntu Netbook Remix till the release of Lucid, when it was renamed to Ubuntu Netbook Edition. With the release of Maverick Meerkat (10.10), UNE came with Unity as the default desktop interface, and with Natty Narwhal, UNE was discontinued and merged into the desktop edition, which then started to run Unity as the default session.
You can upgrade your Lucid Netbook and ARM editions to Maverick as instructed here:

Ubuntu Lucid Desktop and Server editions continue to be supported as per the schedule, till April 2013, respectively 2015:

Ubuntu 10 04 Lucid Lynx Alpha in VirtualBox with Guest Additions
Ubuntu 10 04 Lucid Lynx Alpha in VirtualBox with Guest Additions
Today I installed the latest alpha of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Alpha inside of VirtualBox. After getting all of the updates I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Upon boot my screen flashed lots of fun colors and then told me that my display configuration was fubared.
I booted up in low graphics mode and then searched for the answer, which Im going to repeat here.
After installing the guest additions you need to modify a file.
gksudo gedit /usr/src/vboxvideo-3.1.4/vboxvideo_drm.c
Replace line 90 with the following:
#if defined(DRM_UNLOCKED) || LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION (2, 6, 33)
.unlocked_ioctl = drm_ioctl,
#else
.ioctl = drm_ioctl,
#endif
Finally, run the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
So anyways, this got me as far as logging in without the graphics dying. However, it looks like Compiz gets enabled and kills everything. Ill update if I find a solution to this.

Edit: Bug 6198 is fixed as of VirtualBox 3.1.6. To get it for Ubuntu add the VirtualBox PPA found at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and run sudo aptitude install virtualbox-3.1
