Booting Ubuntu 9 04 with SSD

[darkspl]

if windows 8 would be free I will buy it

[cumulus0007]

@darkspl When something is free, you don't need to buy it, you just get it.

[bellicjr]

Try Arch + Xmonad, that's REALLY fast.

[Hoobes1]

windows is like pc cancer. Once it's in there, it just gets worse and worse through time. There is no real "cure" to it, unless you completely remove it and hope the hardware's still intact.

[iXecFTW]

@Hoobes1 My god! Best description ever

[TheAmeerx]

yay ubuntu is for servers and fast boot! yay! screw windows yay!

oh wait ubuntu dont run most of the programs!

mmm its bit harder to use than the windows, wait it got glitches and few sources to teach how to use it... so now its fast, unreliable and unusable!

WHATS THE USE OF IT!

[syahirSQRT2]

@TheAmeerx ubuntu can run most windows applications with wine (a linux program)

[TheAmeerx]

@syahirSQRT2 yes, with most of it containing run-time or VGA glitches.

PERIOD!

[TheNubbbler]

That's nice, but who really cares about startup? Run speed is more important. Search for a file with both, see which comes up first.

[Partianz]

@TheNubbbler Actually Ubuntu destroys all OS's with the speed since it's not filled with all of the fancy shit that WIndows and Macs have.

[TheNubbbler]

@Partianz I will have to disagree. If you are saying that because of the graphics, you can disable them. I've used Ubuntu and actually find it to be laggy. I love linux mint, but windows 7 has more functionality.

[313hummer]

try ubuntu 11 or xubuntu 11..they boot much faster :D

[Partianz]

@313hummer Totally agree,, I boot up within 10 seconds

even quicker when I leave my pc to cool down

[313hummer]

@Partianz nice!

[sqtapnic]

how much ram does it have?

[TechThoughts]

My mac boots that fast and it dont have an ssd

[sqtapnic]

@TechThoughts

ammm quick question how much did your mac cost?? because my ubuntu was free!!

[313hummer]

@sqtapnic LOL

[313hummer]

@TechThoughts also even ubuntu 10 boots in 8.5 seconds..shortest time i've seen a mac boot is about 15 seconds

[jacobleb420]

Sure a SSD is better, but I just don't see the justification of charging so damn much for them when you only really save maybe 15-20 seconds when loading up your OS! I can't see why somebody would be so impatient that they can't wait the few extra seconds! Plus they come in such small sizes for the price, that you need to put the OS only, and get a second regular HDD for gaming.

[SOF006]

@jacobleb420 Its not just the boot time, its also application load time. Also games load a WHOLE lot faster on SSDs, less loading means more time for playing!

[jacobleb420]

@SOF006

If you read my comment you know that I said that it is faster, just not enough to justify the enormous price hike when compared to regular HDD's.

[pufixas]

Windows rules

Linux is not bad too! But I wouldn't use it as main primary OS...

[SOF006]

@pufixas I agree on that. However. No need to be a troll about it "Windows rules"

[pufixas]

@SOF006

OK, I will never use Windows Rules again, lol

[b16a2smith]

Wow edicks are everywhere here. I have a petabyte ssd and I boot in -5 seconds.

[chronofusion]

@b16a2smith LOL...well put on the fucktards *( my slag ) coherent to your " edicks" comment. I can't say i blame ya on that one. There's too many stupdd children on the internet that are really not mature enough to be heard yet. momy and daddy just let them do whatever they want..or the parents are a bunch of diapher sniffers that never discipline them either. oh well..time to try ubuntu 11.04 on my rig and see how she's rolls. peaces

[dingdongdoly]

hey gek you cant beat my computer. 6yr old macbook 1.83ghz 1 core 1TB HD at 5300rpm, 512mb ram and it can boot and start safari in 34s. cmon thats not bad.

[gek687]

my PC

processor 2.2 Ghz

1GB ram

160 GB HDD

Windows 7 ultimate 32 bits

boot with login n pass = 22sg

coming soon in my acount

[jpcaseira]

@gek687 lol yeah...

[SOF006]

22 seconds... nice, getting a 32GB SSD soon :)

[MrLinuxkid]

Yep, BUT always improve emulation (e.x, wine)...

Thumbs UP if u are agree and want to IMPROVE WINDOWS EMULATION.

[jjovereats]

@MrLinuxkid 7-zip. Just 7-zip.

[frankyelou]

Now we have Google Chrome, which is much faster than Firefox. :)

[emtildeath]

@frankyelou yeah now if only Google Chrome would spend half its time not crashing. Firefox all the way for me still

[1995cuba]

cool

[res3571]

Nice, thats a Thinkpad T60/R60? what are the specs?

[jeroeniskoning]

Imagine 10.04 with ext4 and TRIM support. Or the new and faster kernel. And the bootspeed upgrades from 9.10 and 10.04... Ill get an SSD soon and show the speed of Ubuntu 10.04 =D

[andysos1234]

Ubuntu sucks donkey balls lol

[iXecFTW]

IBM! +2 - Linux +3

:D

[aliancemd]

He has to try with the new Ubuntu 10.04, I'm almost sure he will be shocked with the boot time.

[SuperALMA2]

shut up! most of games is only for WINDOWS and if has not been windows ,we was in command line dumbass, so windows are highest OS!

[MrGirks]

@SuperALMA2

one word. "Wine"

;)

[SuperALMA2]

@MrGirks xD Why "wine" ? :D

[TechSupportx86]

@SuperALMA2 The first OS with a GUI was the XEROX Star Workstation, designed by steve jobs, you dumbass.

[Frap357]

Ubuntu 10.04 is way faster!

[PadelManiaZzZz]

23 seconds to open firefox how much fast is  this called??

[ndragos87]

@PadelManiaZzZz dick head was the os and firefox that is very fast

[TheZombieflesheater]

There is a thing called apt get in ubuntu. And utorrent is avaiable, it's made in linux for windows users! Winamp? lol try to type mp3 player in the ubuntu download manager and see what happens... Linux can do everything except to caught virus and worms :D

[nahuelcutrera]

@TheZombieflesheater you're forgetting videogames , wine is good but it's not ready yet ...

[GenoSkill]

@nahuelcutrera asshole is not wines fault asshole.

asshoel

[diegovalencr]

@TheZombieflesheater I wish it could play my MMORGs at full performance like Flyff and Runes of Magic :P Then I'd switch.

[emtildeath]

@TheZombieflesheater Hate to inform you about this, but Linux does get viruses/wormas and all the same nasties as Windows, but as it only shares a tiny % of the market, nobody really bother writing viruses for it. The general idea about viruses is to cause as much disruption as they can to corperations like MicroSoft. And before you say it. I am a Linux user :-)

[jjovereats]

@emtildeath But it isn't as vulnerable. That's why linux A/v is useless.

[emtildeath]

@jjovereats it isn't vulnerable because nobody can be bothered. Look at it this way. You are a hacker, what do you hit first ? Yes you go for the market! Microsoft has the market. Linux only has like1%. You see where I am coming from ?

[TheTIprogrammer]

@emtildeath More like 15-20%, and you're wrong anyways.

[emtildeath]

@TheTIprogrammer

Microsoft = 91.11%

Mac OS = 4.7%

Linux = 1.95%

Other Os's = 2.21%

As you can see from that, Linux has the smallest share of the market. And sorry to say this, but I am right, I have been using Linux in some form or the other since around 1985Thats about 8 years before you were even born. If you want to argue, don't argue with somebody with a masters degree in Computer Science, who's work revolves around Linux and Unix please. :-)

[TheTIprogrammer]

@emtildeath Occupation: Psychologist (Lol)

[emtildeath]

@TheTIprogrammer and ?

[rmbrown09]

2kb

[2007kid]

64MB

[handofstand]

Try Debian if you don't have much RAM (Ubuntu is built "on top of" Debian and so it's, uh, slower).

[darthirakli]

256 MB

[Kazama1825]

but then it's really slow...512 MB are better

[WhiteDawn]

If your limited on ram you can try a lighter distro like puppy linux or Damn small linux

[OrientalCarpets]

Just did a clean install and lovin' it! No crashes and can also run all windows applications with wine! Fare well microsoft!

[MrGoochable]

Congrats getting away from microsoft

[stalat]

ubuntu is extremely fat no doubt. but windowns is still the universal os thats compatible with virtually everything. therefore, i think people would rather wait a couple of minutes on windows 7 then use ubuntu 9.04. i know i would.

[razorflown2]

Depends on what you want it for. Linux for reliability, security, and windows for games and familiarity, ease etc.

I'm a hard core windows guy. Then, I got a call from wells fargo. Hopefully I'll be all switched over to Linux by next week.

[vbpeepee]

Wait, what did the Wells Fargo call have to do with it all?

[razorflown2]

@vbpeepee Keylogger, trojan etc on my computer. Ya, it was my fault because I took down the firewall, but I did it because it was blocking some stuff. I forgot to put it back up and got a call from wells fargo saying my checking account had been compromised and i needed to scan my computer for spyware. Sure enough, I was loaded up with all sorts of goodies.

I use ubuntu now...

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

good on you man. I had a similar problem. Except my paypal account was hacked as well as my ebay account. The culprits sold a video camera on ebay for $1500, pocketed the money and then I copped a phone call from the buyer after he waited a month for the item to arrive. Long story short, the problem was solved and I snapped all my windows discs and threw them in the bin (if you wanna take that as the solution haha). Now I run Ubuntu 9.10 with full network security and I'm loving it!

[everyonedoesit2]

you guys do realise that switching to Ubuntu isn't the only way to stop this shit from happening, if you run regular spyware and adaware scans you should have no problems. Worms and trojans do also exist in linux, but nobody bothers to code them. People go where the market is!

(I run both, as I think most people should!)

[razorflown2]

Linux is an operating system thats made for networking, windows isnt. Networking is an afterthought with windows. in linux you are not root 99% of the time. In windows you always are. its more secure for many more reasons. In windows its really important to have a firewall and to be careful on the net. I used malwarebytes, adaware, spybot, and comodo. I got a trojan because i forgot to re enable the firewall after troubleshooting printer issues.

We're not stupid, that's why we're running linux

[razorflown2]

Ive used ubuntu for about 3 months ish now and I have to say I'm at the point where I don't want windows back. At first I wasn't really into linux because it was foreign to me. But it does a lot of things that windows simply never did! I'm running mspaint in wine right now. The only thing about windows I miss is winamp and uTorrent.

Uptime: 26 days

[everyonedoesit2]

There are plenty of torrent programs which work equally well for Linux, and you can get uTorrent working without a bit of effort if you're that worried about it. I just love the fact it's fully open and customisable - nobody ripping me off!

The only reason I can't depart with windows is my gaming habits, although I can get a few of my favourites working - the majority of new games don't work out of the box, and I'm too impatient and noobish to learn how to get them working!

[pixelr0]

if you miss uTorrent give a try to Deluge is more or less similar with uTorrent :)

[MriBackup]

try vuze for ubuntu

[postmanpat261]

I dual boot, yet haven't been back into windows 7 more than twice in a month (Had ubuntu a month)

[arranmc182]

you need to check out linux game publishing google it

[mikebhasi]

one day ubuntu may be the new splashtop...

[lithdim]

I like how when you say "Firefox", it pops up instantly.

[196035I79]

Bootchart will log your boot times and post a log in /var/log/bootchart of what is going on during boot whats taking longest, allowing you to fine tune your boot process, i brought mine from 19 seconds to 14 seconds.

[t2491tom]

my favorite thing about ubuntu is that when it logs onto my account tis instantly ready to use

[res3571]

Nice, is that a T60/R60?

[uc38]

!!!!!

[sedraopamp]

the powerful Ubuntu

[iFhernd]

Excellent! Have you tried boot with Ext4 filesystem?

[firecad2006]

that why i love ubuntu, great video

[RaAbIsTgEiL]

fuck windows

[stancugenius]

@RaAbIsTgEiL man i wouldn't get my penis dirty to fuck it :)

[d3tach3d]

@RaAbIsTgEiL yeah! Fuck dx11!!!....

[Aleksandar998]

@RaAbIsTgEiL Fuck you, Mac and you.....

[MrN00B1N4T3R]

@RaAbIsTgEiL Fuck you...

[Flopper1z0r]

omfg :D

[obba2004]

I envy you...

[jeroeniskoning]

Go Ubuntu !

[enriquepalaciosc]

USE EXT4!!!!

[tcadroas]

Good job, I like SSD's.

[lli799]

I removed Ubuntu from PC when version 9.04 got always stuck when booting. Originally I installed Ubuntu 8.10 into the second hard drive in Windows computer.

It worked well. The problems started to occur when using Ubuntu updating feature.

I have removed and re-installed Ubuntu OS at least three different times and I do not understand why updating feature brings crap into Ubuntu OS.

I have even downloaded dvd 9.04 i386.iso file and using UnetBootin programme to install it into USB stick. NO!!!

[crazeepieman]

stuck with the updates? that's weird. i have never had any issues updating. it has all been very smooth. (my only complaint is having to reboot, (which only takes like a minute for me), but then, who has an OS that doesnt need a reboot with updates? haha).

what's wrong with the USB stick installation? i did that with 8.10, and it was quite slow booting (about the speed the CD took), and i had quite a few issues installing stuff, but then i did a full installation, and it works fantastically.

[lli799]

I guess the main problem was the fact I installed and tried Ubuntu with FAT32 file system.

Now I installed Ubuntu with its own file system (EXT3) and it is working without any harms.

BUT.. Ubuntu reserved the whole hard drive disk into itself (320 GB) although I put 300 GB for FAT32 and with /windows command line. Ubuntu installation did not accept it so I have use an option to give the whole HD to the Ubuntu.

That's ridicolous when remembering the year 1998 when there was only 6 GB for W95.

[crazeepieman]

ah. that's odd how it took your whole hard disk.

haha, yup! i remember those years! i was recently chuckling to myself because my cell phone has more RAM than our old computer!

[ubuntututorials]

But there's now a way to install security updates without rebooting, and it's available for Jaunty... It's called Ksplice.

[IHaveABeard123]

What kind of crap? Updates for me have always been flawless.

[willyboxc]

Nice, all i have to say is..... NICE...

[DjiXas]

Oh, and for "speed" thing, have you actually tested same software on both, linujx and windows? If no, then how about google before claiming anything, linux is slower in almost all cases

[Killerstwo]

Your funny.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

I utterly love ubuntu 9.04. It's simply amazing compared to even 8.10. My boot time is just a little longer than that with a standard hd. I use linux mostly for video editing and I can confidently say that converting videos to other formats in linux is as easy as buttering toast.

[eduardo5887283]

So how was your experience with the OS itself?

[donghyunwon610]

ubuntu 8.04 kept disconnectin from the net and sometimes it would reconnect, but rarely it would. So I didn't use it until the next upgrade and now they fixed it :), but i have to keep windows to run some programs that i need XD.

[vrvbag]

fresh installs of XP boot in 30 seconds with regular drives on old laptops. Search "Fujitsu T4010 Tablet PC booting XP in 30 seconds"

[vrvbag]

you guys forgot how fast XP could be when it wasn't loaded down with garbage

[ubuntututorials]

you forget that XP is from 2001 and 9.04 is from 2009. There will be a difference, because there's more/different hardware. Compare it more to Vista or Win7.

[zulizin]

Vista and windows 7 are slower than XP Ubuntu is flat out faster

[imafurryhusky]

Win7 FTW

[splinterman9287]

The best OS ever, Just Ubuntu!

[Tru3m0sl3m]

ubuntu definitely rocks and its amazingly stable!

[DjiXas]

And its font smoothing is awesome.

Yeah, right...

[DjiXas]

Now boot win 7 on the same pc, fresh install, lited

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

lol yeah ubuntu isn't lite here, so the comparison would have been pointless.

[DjiXas]

Really? Does Ubuntu have system restore, firewall, superfetch?

No? Then what you are talking about.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

My version of linux has system restore, sort of like mac timemachine or whatever it is. Same principle. Don't need superfetch because in linux, everything is fairly light anyway so loading and unloading isn't slow.

rofl. funny how Windows needs all this crap just to survive. Like spyware removers and anti-virus apps. In my ubuntu install, i have no virus software at all nor do i have a firewall for I have one built into my router. So my ubuntu is extra light and loads FAST and pwns.

[DjiXas]

I don't care what version you have, I am talking about default install.

And as for "survive". LOL, Yeah, I am sure with 90% if market share, they are trying to "survive". what a naive thinking of lin fan boys

i dont have antivirus, anti spyware too. you knwo why? cause i am not a stupid who would get to warez, porn sites, download everything etc.

[apateon]

I have pcs running both windows and ubuntu, I can tell you that they are a bit faster in about everything and also much more silent when working in linux. But linux takes some getting used to. Funny that you accuse people of being fan boys when you yourself act like one.

[destructordt]

Ur just sad that u paid $400 for Windows, and most of us have the awesome Linux OS which is 10000X better than Windows!

[k0valik]

And do you use system restore etc.? I've never used anything windows shit

[ubuntututorials]

System restore doesn't work. Does it fix drivers? Does it restore the kernel? No, it just fixes config settings.

[Bassmasta79]

its fast but its also free so.... yeah

[firecad2006]

cool but how do you install it with ext4?

[LoloftheRings]

Not sure if they implented a nice automated thing for it yet, But I guess you have to do it manually in the installer. Select Manual in the Partitioner, create an ext4 partition with the mountpoint /.

Then create another partition of about twice your ram, which should be a SWAP partition. Press next :D

[mynameisnicholas]

I miss trackballs...

[Braca982]

Try that with ext4 fs, i think its even faster

[Subsanek]

Ubuntu rules!

[nirmv]

There is no God, and never was. Wake up !!

[unknownorigin84]

Boots fast but what else is new?

[Fat9090]

Nice..

Ubuntu Rulezz !!!!!!!!!

[hcitecnarf]

I was expecting a lot faster...

[hero3616]

What is your Thinkpad model and what ssd are you using? intel x25e? Thanks

[megamanxtreme2]

Uber sweetness, yo.

[lenooh]

o man, that's fast!

UBUNTU FTW :-)

[messedupvid99]

OMFGGOHA! (Oh My Fucking Good God Of Heaven Above) that is fast.

[temoyclaudia]

are you for real.. do you really know God you should think twice before making comments like that about the lord above.. (GOD) bless you

[messedupvid99]

Right. I'm sorry, I have a problem with doing stuff without thinking.

[erdal0]

my linux system asks for password when i boot and install programs

can i just disable password without dangerous consequences?

[wcarr005]

go to system > login window then click the security tab then check the box that says "enable automatic login"

[Dapperlinx]

It's not like Windows Vista and it's security system. Linux is another world, the password can be disabled at login, but not for installing apps. root is the only user with ability to install programs, so u need it's permission to install them, that's why you need to enter your passwd. It's just one of the methods of the Linux security.

[gabomonster]

If this is Ext3, imagine Ext4. My guess, 10 seconds to boot. Man you should make a video with Ext4.

[psid8]

How can I change grub to 0 time out?

[macminiman01]

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the timeout line to 0.

[jalexoid]

If you don't know what you are doing, you shouldn't.

[XFi6]

Jesus christ!

What processor does your laptop have, btw? That's gotta make some difference, too...

[tuxsbro]

wow, you should totally get some ext4 going, also you should post the specs

[MattCutts]

Vibaf, I think I'm using ext3.

[Frap357]

Intel Moblin boots even faster.

It would boot even faster if you used Coreboot.

We still have way to go. Faster, faster, faster. :)

[Vibaf]

Are you using ext3 odr ext4?

And it would be interesting to know how fast U8.10 boots up with a SSD ;)

[lojikop]

Wow - impressive

[DailyUrban]

Nice Vid Bro
