[sf-lug] SF-LUG Mtg and fwd'd msg from Bobbie S

[Ken Shaffer]

Ubuntu upgrades are offered when they're ready.  If you want to do one
early, do submit bugs for issues found.

Full installs work fine, but for some reason, the Nvidia drivers only up to
535 are made available in the normal ubuntu-drivers or Software&Updates
install programs. The 545 and 550 drivers are installable from the command
line, but there may be problems with parts of the system not recognising
them. Again, just wait if you're not interesting in debugging.

Not the easiest release, maybe the last minute discovery of the xz back
door and subsequent fixes and retesting messed up the normal release
operations.
