[osamamoto]

i think graphic card life shall lesser.

[Mr123whatevah]

well............watch my video

its a lot more better

but i have no idea how to paste the link dude

[cicalone70]

i tryed all free software... and for me UBUNTU is the worst free SO.

[y2kboy145]

@cyrixproductions your such a dick head. It obvious his/her devices are that compatable with ubuntu, but theres no reason for you to act in such a twatty way towards him/her. On topic though great video, works smoothly and great specs!

[gamepro127onPSN]

i hate ubuntu i had soo many problems with it

[leonresidentevilfan]

why?

[gamepro127onPSN]

idk I just had problem after problem after PROBLEM. Then my wireless card driver dident work just randomly while surfing the web so I rebooted still dident work so went to device manager, enabled other drivers, that dident work so I disabled them and that dident work, I re-booted and Ubuntu dident boot...So far, re-installed 9 times.

[cyrixproductions]

if you would know how to deal with computers it wouldn't cause you problems

[genhalo2]

wtf?1

[CRITICZ1000]

Plz yourr xorg.conf file would be appreciated

[206ernesto]

How do you put an image behind the cube?

i'm looking but can't find it yet!

[SoftwareExplorer]

I think he just put a sky dome and didn't animate it.

[ubuntunoobz]

o and YouMockMe the wireless connection for my dell latitude on ubuntu is very fast ..

my comp auto connects to the internet but if urs dont u can use a program call wifi radar u can get it by going to add/remove programs and installing it wifi radar looks for wireless Internet in ur area ...

so put your vista installing cd in a more compatible machine the paper shredder........

[ubuntunoobz]

ok LordSamuelJ thats bs i have ubuntu 8.10 and an ati 9000 grafic card and it all runs fine and dandy btw wat desktopt recorder r u useing ??? i would like to no thanks...

[PogMoThoin22]

its recorded with recordMyDesktop

[YouMockMe]

hey, i just thought. how well does the wifi handle with the linux os, drivers/functionality? I'm thinking about making the switch b/c vista sucks and like hell will i use a mac.

[SoftwareExplorer]

For the wireless cards with a native Linux driver its great. There is ndiswrapper which lets you use a windows driver, but it doesn't work as well, and it can be hard to find the right driver if your computer is 64 bit.

[YouMockMe]

well its now been some time and I've made the switch... I went with Linux Mint vs Ubuntu. They're both about the same but Ubuntu was easier to use while Mint has prooven to be more stable. The catch 22 is that they both suck on wifi. Whenever I am downloading anything, I loose my connection. I'll be on OpenArena for 3 days, no problems but once I download anything, it dies and I have to restart.

Any thoughts?

[Damatelon]

It is just hard for Windows ;).

oN Linux you can just compile a opensource driver for 64-bit

[YouMockMe]

so whats the real difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?

[SoftwareExplorer]

The desktop environment

Ubuntu has Gnome wikipedia[dot]org/wiki/GNOME

Kubuntu has KDE wikipedia[dot]org/wiki/KDE

[oondriss]

there is a way how to install KDE-experimenal to ubuntu, i dont know something like that in kubuntu

[gkaklas]

how do you enable that? or if not in system, what is the program?

[SEB5290]

It´s only a cheap copy of real promotion videos. I am running Compiz Fusion Git on OpenSUSE 11.0 with mostly all of the effects on an Athlon 64 X2 3600+ without any Problems^^

[PogMoThoin22]

& recording video at the same time without any stuttering? Thats the difference

[DarkMission91]

That is super greaatt!!

[SmArOv]

OMFG!

alien's operative sitem =P

[jamie1152]

1) How do you get those moving gears in the middle of the cube?

2) How do you change the background of the cube area? (Like he has that scene of buildings)

Thanks!

[SoftwareExplorer]

Get CompizConfigSettingManager (CCSM) Installed if you don't already have it.

Open CCSM and check the checkbox next to Cube gears (Its under the effects section).

In the desktop section click the desktop cube button, then go to the appearance tab, there will be a skydome section (you may have to expand it), check the skydome and animate skydome boxes, and change the skydome image to whatever you want.

[SoftwareExplorer]

Ok, so looking at the video, don't check animate skydome.

[LordSamuelJ]

I need to get rid of my ATI video card and get a Nvidia so I can run Ubuntu on my over clocked dual core Opteron.

[jordler]

why would u get rid of ur video card?

[LordSamuelJ]

ATI video cards dont seem to be compatible with Ubuntu.

[jordler]

my old ati 9200 ran ubuntu fine. my new pcs got a ati 4670.

[LordSamuelJ]

Yeah, I think most older cards work fine, and some newer ones, but niether my ATI Radeon X1600 pro or my Radeon X1950 pro seem to work. There is some type of driver issue with the the X series Radeons.

[RyanPridgeon]

HAHAHHA, you're named after NiceLordJ!!!

[theninjacowboy]

love it. can't wait to get linux on my pc.

[fukcommiescum]

Thats fucken sick dude.

[MUERTE2007COL]

lol faster pc :D

[mozaks80]

awesome.. which intel quad are you using?

[PogMoThoin22]

q6600 @ 3.3Ghz

[mozaks80]

coolness. looks very tidy!

[AustinOlson]

Is that overclocked? ...I thought the Q66 ran at 2.4Ghz. Since I'm using one :P

[PogMoThoin22]

Overclocked ya

[Housista4]

compiz fusion it´s very goooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and Ubuntu also!!!!

[pollolandia6]

LINUX IS A RIDICULOUS

JEJEJEJE

[Trex484]

what is the effect when u x the window it sccaters like that

[PogMoThoin22]

Dunno, but its in advanced settings manager/ animations /close animation, edit & change to random & increase time. Do this for all animations ie. close, effect, focus etc and make sure all random effects are ticked. This enables all effects randomly

[PogMoThoin22]

Quad makes a big difference when you try 2 use a screen capture utility as well as having all these windows open. Most other vidoes on here have been taken with handheld cameras.

[1blackice1]

mostly because they can't find a screen capture for Linux, i did i have dural core and my video didn't come out this good. quad core makes a huge differance! :D

[PogMoThoin22]

Thanks for that, most peeps wouldn't believe me, check out my other vids m8 :)

[Amebixfan]

recordymdesktop is crap, even with the best computer out there you'll still get stutter

[m6azeez]

does it make differnet quad caor or NOT??

i dont think so !!!

[dharamDSM]

really i want to get this ASAP LOL

[DarknessssenkraD]

(y) nice

[PogMoThoin22]
