I just tried using ubuntu 11.10 for the first time. I have never used any linux software before and I have to say; I have never been that disappointed.
First of all, it took me a good half hour to set up my dual screens because i had to go to several websites just to find out how to do that. Then installing teamspeak never worked, because my computer would crash whenever it opened the .run file (which is just a huge text file as it seems. My computer is quite powerful, too). Also no sound :(
are you positive there is gonna no problem with starting windows 7 just after the boot selection menu..Because a lot of information and unfinished games located my local drive and I want to try ubuntu not virtually but real machine..but other hand I dont want problems about starting windows7..
@spooky78 I tried and ubuntu didnt load at first..... Dont know why, it loaded straight to Windows 7 Ultimate and ran a chkdsk. After it was completed system booted up and i deleted the partition and tried again. Now, Im typing this reply from ubuntu :D. Hope you get through
Alright, so I followed the tutorial. I installed Ubuntu using USB. Now, when the computer reboots, it just goes straight to Windows 7. GRUB never shows up. Can anybody help me with this problem? I've Googled tons of times, and only "can't boot to windows" shows up.
@klumzypinoy Hold down shift key to make Grub menu appear.
Maybe the timeout has been set to zero. Have a look at my video "Customising Grub Boot Menu in Ubuntu" and make the changes to Grub within Ubuntu.
If Shift key doesn't do anything then its possible some update from MS destroyed Grub, in which case you'll need to Google "Reinstalling Grub in Ubuntu 11.10"
@mysteryloser24 : I had the same problem on my desktop. If you click in the VERY BOTTOM right had corner I want to say like you were going to try to re-size a window diagonally the box goes to the smaller version like shown in the video instead of full screen. Just a little tip :)
@chillarena Heyy. ^^ I tried that at the time, but it didn't work, which is why I asked. But I noticed that if you look at the right of the task bar at the top, you'll see the standard window controls(Close/Minimize/Maximize) with Minimize disabled. Clicking the Maximize icon does the same thing. :)
@ccamstelveen I think you can, but its not straight forward. Resize the c: drive from within Windows. On the Ubuntu installer make sure Grub doesn't get installed into the default location of /sda, it should go in /sda2 or /sda5 so as not to confuse Win7 which expects to be in the first harrdrive partition.
It wouldn't make any difference on speed unless you have very little harddrive space left
Heyy Quids, I upgraded my 11.04 to 11.10 last night and I was just wondering hot to change the Dash size. My Dash is always fullscreen. Any advice on making it fit the corner like yours? xXx
@mysteryloser24 Its based on your monitor size. I've got a HD1080 monitor so the dash is smaller, whereas my netbook with its smaller resolution has the dash fullscreen
@quidsup i have installed this on my laptop and i was wonder why runs slow, laptop specs are : Ubuntu 11.10 (Full Install along side with Win7) AMD 1.7Ghz Dual-Core, 4GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD 3200.. wonder what can i do to speed it up. thanks
@quidsup thanks, i'll try that. im completely new in all this so i was wonder why the slowness on my Laptop having running W7 very smooth. thanks again
The software updater has some issues where it's not very snappy. If you try to install more than one game at a time, it doesn't queue up the pending items very quickly.
They need to include ndisgtk by default. I had to install the drivers for my RangeMax WN121T manually.
@lordevarts Normally Im not bothered in the slightest about malware, viruses etc... I only download software from places I trust like Launchpad repos, git, Sourcefire.
For 99.9% of my web browsing I do as per normal in Ubuntu. But if Im going for some appallingly dodgy websites like the file downloaders that make you wait before letting you download then I'll use a virtual machine and let that take the hit.
To date I've only had 1 virtual machine get infected and I kind of expected it
@lordevarts Sorry to clarify - Those dodgy websites and I used the example of file downloaders (not torrent sites they're not so bad) with Windows you're pretty much guaranteed an infection of a forced driveby download circumventing antivirus. Its too easy in Windows and its a big target for malware.
Whereas Ubuntu doesn't have the same vulnerabilities and its a tiny unprofitable target so you go to same dodgy website but the forced download will fail.
@quidsup i am currently on ubuntu 11.04, is it worth upgrading to 11.10? I dont really like unity, i prefer the classic gnome 2.x desktop.. Or would u recommend trying another distro?
hi there, excellent video ! i find it really useful (all of your vids are). I started using Ubuntu since Ubuntu 11.04 was released, I've tried 10.10 but i didn't like it really much. I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 in my HP Mini 110 (2 gigs ram, 250 SATA hd, ATOM N270 processor) with Wubi (i just got Ubuntu installed in 17 gigs), it works great but sometimes i feel is working a little bit slow. I'm upgrading it to 11.10 and will replace windows, i'm new to Ubuntu and got familiar with it very fast:)
@Linux4UnMe lol its not that bad. I hear a lot of people complaining about being so slow, but its way faster for me. I've got a bootup time of 10 secs. I know Arch would be faster, but I couldn't get it to boot into a GUI, then I ran out patience. Cheers mate
beside cosmetics what's actually different or better ? can't understand all linux distros are same time over and over again just new face or ? i dont wana troll but simply every time new distro is all u ppl do, is show me the main application witch any way u can download and use anyware or some transparency on a window... why shoud i use 11.10 insted on 10.10is same thing , nothing new witch can actualy help me :/ cant install Premiere Pro even with wine. As a new user what shoud i see appiling?
@trakhull Well theres nothing forcing you to upgrade from 10.10 for another 6 months. So over and above from 10.10 you get Unity desktop, more selection of apps, more up to date apps, and more hardware support.
But if 10.10 meets your requirements theres no need to upgrade
@quidsup i do agree with you, but for ex on win machines i can install a soft witch i use in office allso (premiere pro cs 5 ). ex, i cant find nothing witch feels like it, solid and complete. i am greatfull to linux comunity ,offering me an free alternative but there ar allso limitations and all this is couse ppl cant use there software, i wana be a linux user but i can realy on it @ work, i know fiew app that ar verry good build like gimp and ink. but a/v edit non,will apreciate a guidance
Awesome review!!! Really good!!! Yeah the resource requirements for Ubuntu are really high now that's why I don't run Ubuntu anymore on my computers because they are quite old. I'm thinking of giving Lubuntu a go now to see how fast it is. Keep the awesome reviews up mate XD
you should do a review of kubuntu 11.10 its really good much better than pclinux kde which I have been using I think ubuntu have done really well with there new versions getting most of the bugs out and getting some really good up to date distros . I found the last version didn't work so well but this version 11.10 is working really well now
Great review as always mate! I just installed Ocelot, and works great; just wish there would be more software, and more customizable, but overall the performance is great. It truly deserves the 87%.
@darkness9297 An OEM ISO of Ubuntu would be better for selling systems - It lets you install the system without setting an admin password, and leaves it for the user to choose one later.
Disks are available in the Canonical Store. Or contact your local Ubuntu group and ask them for some disks - Google "your country/state ubuntu loco"
Installed and its much better than 11.04 its fast looks good and I can even play Minecraft without the proprietary driver, just using the open source ones... well done Ubuntu and Conical
@KhanTutorials ok, you either did not install it (more likely) ... reboot your system with the cd in and run the installer again, if it detects an ubuntu partition, then just overwrite it (something in the bootloader went wrong) if not, then you must have just killed the installation and ubuntu was not installed ... if that is the case install ubuntu, hope that helped! :D
@KhanTutorials Choose Shutdown and you'll get Restart as an option. Another way of doing it is to press the your laptop power button which will bring up the full set of shutdown options
Got a question. you reckon you'll make a review of the distribution as it comes without making any changes, that being min/max animations and wobbly windows and such, desktop switcher and such, i find it gives a wrong impression of what to expect, lets say a new user wanted the wobbly windows effect and doesn't understand why it doesn't work out the box. ???
ok thanks...... i installed the new version 11.10 and i wonder if the b43 cutter firmware works for the delll inspiron 1501..... after installation it didn't activate wireless driver. also i would like to know the 2 new terminal is call uxterm and xterm.
Just upgraded to 11.10 on my netbook. A couple of system freezes, unfortunately. I may be asking too much from a single-core, Atom-based system. :) Another thing, is Gnome 3 not shipped by default? I thought it was.... Anyhow, I don't see it as an option in the Grub login options.
@ellisbooker9 You should of waited until canonical updated their site to show 11.10 is available for download. You just upgraded to a daily build of oneric.
Gnome 3 should on the login screen for you to select if not it show be in the software centre. Gnome 3 will also be included when the final is released.
quidsup where did you get the rocking flame wallpaper. If you can post a link because I love FIRE. Also thanks for the quick compiz tutorial. I can't wait for the newest release.
Great video quids. I hope all new users like this OS, but as you said you need some newer hardware to run it. I think it would be best to have an external video card as well as a system with greater than 2 gigs of ram. my verdict, run 10.04. :)
@rotaryboy I think a fairly new netbook with 1Gb ddr3 ram will run it (still gotta try it on mine). But yeah for best use it will be a reasonable external graphics card and at least 2Gb ram. Cheers
@quidsup Yeah I have tried unity 3d it on my nvidia 1024 MB on board video card it's not so great. I tried gnome 3 via ppa that broke my unity WM. It's a great OS, make dep is awesome and you don't have to tinker with it as much as Debian to make it work.
If you remove the root drive (and you don't have your home folder as a drive in wine), you will not be able to open files from your file manager using a wine program. The files you want to open must be accessible through one drive or the other.
@SeltsamerAttraktor True but I didn't really want to go into too much detail about Wine the alternatives.
I've not been too keen with POL lately theres a couple of games with POL scripts that wouldn't work properly, but under stock version of Wine they worked fine
@quidsup Most POL scripts are of a poor quality, unfortunately. For example, many put a "cd [..]/drive_c/Program Files/Program/"; wine program.exe" in the start script (instead of reading it from the registry), which is very n00bish. If you change the folder or if the program isn't in English, it won't work.That is why I always give the advice to ignore them,if it won't work. It's better to do research about the program first (app hq, reading the pol script), and then try it for yourself.
Just backing up files in order to install Ubuntu 11.10. I've been using Linux Mint 10 KDE & it's been great but for some reason the volume control freezes now! It has work great up until a few days ago. I think an update (probably a flash one) messed things up. Goes wrong when I play any type of video. Only just happened.
This volume thing has given me the insensitive to try 11.10. I did try 11.4 but wasn't too keen on it.
Thumbs up if your watching this on ubuntu 11.10

Perhaps something like Xubuntu 12.04 LTS would be a good distro to consider with its classic Gnome style?

NEED HELP!: I INSTALLED UBUNTU 11.10 ON MY LAPTOP, TELLS ME TO RESTART BUT IT'S NO WHERE TO BE SEEN? (I DUAL BOOT WITH WINDOWS)
KhanTutorials 5 months ago
@KhanTutorials ok, you either did not install it (more likely) ... reboot your system with the cd in and run the installer again, if it detects an ubuntu partition, then just overwrite it (something in the bootloader went wrong) if not, then you must have just killed the installation and ubuntu was not installed ... if that is the case install ubuntu, hope that helped! :D

@KhanTutorials Choose Shutdown and you'll get Restart as an option. Another way of doing it is to press the your laptop power button which will bring up the full set of shutdown options

Got a question. you reckon you'll make a review of the distribution as it comes without making any changes, that being min/max animations and wobbly windows and such, desktop switcher and such, i find it gives a wrong impression of what to expect, lets say a new user wanted the wobbly windows effect and doesn't understand why it doesn't work out the box. ???

you should use playonlinux instead of wine.
it based on wine but its doing all the configurations by itself
gitlitzo 5 months ago
@gitlitzo playonlinux is a user friendly way to install windows software. But it's still Wine.

ok thanks...... i installed the new version 11.10 and i wonder if the b43 cutter firmware works for the delll inspiron 1501..... after installation it didn't activate wireless driver. also i would like to know the 2 new terminal is call uxterm and xterm.
MrAneudy34 5 months ago
@MrAneudy34 I think things have changed now with broadcom drivers being put into the kernel. Not entirely sure how they're supposed work now?
xterm is another terminal app, I don't like it being there so I might see if theres a way of getting rid of it

great review.. i did my online upgrade from natty .. removed unity and replaced with Gnome-Shell. Unity is a bit slow for fast clicker multitasker

@kassych Sounds like it hasn't gone quite right on the upgrade. I would say Unity in this version is faster than in 11.04. Thanks

Just upgraded to 11.10 on my netbook. A couple of system freezes, unfortunately. I may be asking too much from a single-core, Atom-based system. :) Another thing, is Gnome 3 not shipped by default? I thought it was.... Anyhow, I don't see it as an option in the Grub login options.
ellisbooker9 5 months ago
@ellisbooker9 You should of waited until canonical updated their site to show 11.10 is available for download. You just upgraded to a daily build of oneric.
Gnome 3 should on the login screen for you to select if not it show be in the software centre. Gnome 3 will also be included when the final is released.
AnoOtaku 5 months ago
@ellisbooker9 No Gnome3 isn't on there by default, you need to install gnome-shell
quidsup 5 months ago
@quidsup Gnome3 is there ... gnome-shell is not; gnome-shell is a UI for Gnome3

Great video quids. I hope all new users like this OS, but as you said you need some newer hardware to run it. I think it would be best to have an external video card as well as a system with greater than 2 gigs of ram. my verdict, run 10.04. :)
rotaryboy 5 months ago
@rotaryboy I think a fairly new netbook with 1Gb ddr3 ram will run it (still gotta try it on mine). But yeah for best use it will be a reasonable external graphics card and at least 2Gb ram. Cheers
quidsup 5 months ago
@quidsup Yeah I have tried unity 3d it on my nvidia 1024 MB on board video card it's not so great. I tried gnome 3 via ppa that broke my unity WM. It's a great OS, make dep is awesome and you don't have to tinker with it as much as Debian to make it work.

is the 13th and i went to ubuntu homepage and they did not put the new version...... when is it coming out @ what time?

@MrAneudy34 they usually come out at the end of the month.
So give it two weeks.

If you remove the root drive (and you don't have your home folder as a drive in wine), you will not be able to open files from your file manager using a wine program. The files you want to open must be accessible through one drive or the other.
SeltsamerAttraktor 5 months ago
@SeltsamerAttraktor Perhaps I should have shown recreating a new drive for /home folder?
My preference is to limit Wines access to the root folder
quidsup 5 months ago
@quidsup Yeah I usually limit its access too. But only in specific games/programs within some POL prefix, where those programs don't need it.
SeltsamerAttraktor 5 months ago
Wine alone is a poor advice. It really takes PlayOnLinux or CrossOver.
SeltsamerAttraktor 5 months ago
@SeltsamerAttraktor True but I didn't really want to go into too much detail about Wine the alternatives.
I've not been too keen with POL lately theres a couple of games with POL scripts that wouldn't work properly, but under stock version of Wine they worked fine
quidsup 5 months ago
@quidsup Most POL scripts are of a poor quality, unfortunately. For example, many put a "cd [..]/drive_c/Program Files/Program/"; wine program.exe" in the start script (instead of reading it from the registry), which is very n00bish. If you change the folder or if the program isn't in English, it won't work.That is why I always give the advice to ignore them,if it won't work. It's better to do research about the program first (app hq, reading the pol script), and then try it for yourself.

Excellent timing Quids!
Just backing up files in order to install Ubuntu 11.10. I've been using Linux Mint 10 KDE & it's been great but for some reason the volume control freezes now! It has work great up until a few days ago. I think an update (probably a flash one) messed things up. Goes wrong when I play any type of video. Only just happened.
This volume thing has given me the insensitive to try 11.10. I did try 11.4 but wasn't too keen on it.
