Thanks for the hints and tips! I'm getting back into Linux and will give this a try.

[Metal404Head]

Are you a girl? do you "need" things that are pretty? or do you just do this shit to makes yourself look smart and "geeky"?

"oh look at this is so cute OH-EMM-GEE"

and no, its not about your preferences, if you need things to be pretty and claim to be a "geek" or a "nerd" your just a hipster faggot and you should drink some bleach.

What's the OS on the host?? I'm trying to make compiz work on VMware but it doesnt ;(

[GigabyteProductions1]

what is every virtual machine you know of

i want to try them, i have ms virtual pc 2007 and i also need to know how to get the virtual pc additions in linux, does anyone know it microsoft posted anything for other operating systems

what are all the linux operating systems out there too, i want to try those

[1unisol1]

inside "the matrix" xD  nice metaphor...

[twister1986]

Hey can u help me getting compiz working in vbox or vmware. It's just does not working , can u post some tutorial about how it done ??

[Emassa1024]

I use a ton of virtual pc's myself and virtual box is the only software thats impressed me so far of all the different types out there microsoft virtual pc is by far the worst thing i've ever seen and vmware workstation is very bulky but virtual box has the feel and clean look of microsoft virtual pc but the performance of vmware and more im having a blast with it

[JohnDaime]

If you don't love Pirillo you ARE weird <: I love to nerdy :)

[RonaldR2007]

Is this guy on drugs or something?

[ruzzaruzza]

Yeah.. he is so wierd...

[Darkmatter00785]

hes like me a geek

[rokerzeez]

i have ubuntu jaunty now installed in my system but my problem is it is locked in 800x??? resolution and when i installed nvidia driver the resolution goes to VGA and i cant change it to higher resolution cos the VGA resoltuion and other lower resolution is the only option...i want to have 1152x864 resolution >>>im using Geforce2 MX/MX400 ty guys

[gegainc]

Linux, let's pray, hommmm...

[mendozairis]

Feel the POWER of OPENSOURCE

[gyzmopr]

Chris, for an intel core 2 duo mac, did you install the 64bit ubuntu or the 32?

[fernbap]

Both will work. Try the 2 if you want. Depends on the applications you use routinely. For normal light stuff you will see no difference. 64bit is also probably more buggy.

[devo85x]

With Wubi there is no excuse, the funny thing though is, a kid in my class (Computer class) BOUGHT an Ubuntu CD from a friend of mine, the funny thing is, he bought the 8.04 beta from him and didnt install it even after A YEAR!

[illage2]

Thanks, I'm going to download ubuntu and run it in Virtual Box, tell me if I was to run Windows 7 in Virtual Box will 3d Acelleration help display the Aero theme?

[Yerzriknot]

Countless n00bs have migrated to linux solely for Compiz. What a waste. If you want flashy effects that waste your RAM try Vista.

As for virtualization, Virtualbox has caused multiple BSODs for me. I've never had a problem with VMWare. It's simply more stable. Why would a guest OS need virtualization anyways? I don't think anyone's trying to play games with them.

[ilegalsheepbutcher]

I think you're confusing virtualization and 3D acceleration. Most people have a virtualmachine so that windows only applications can be used and 3D acceleration is there to make it a more pleasurable experience. You don't want the windows to stutter when you move them around.

Regarding your n00b comment, I do agree that most people switching to linux, namely ubuntu are purely for this reason. However, were you not a n00b once too? beryl was the reason i switched back in 6.04

[WiifreakSS]

how do i do the 3d cube? i can do everything ele but the cube.

what do i press?

[lhayati]

You have to install compiz manager from add/remove programs

[ran666a]

dude. has any of you got bug problem in your intel chipset base laptop? I've just install jaunty and I got this freeze problem. Too bad because in this version actually all my devices are recognized and i don't need to compile anything.....

[wataki2]

Either Wubi_Edbunutu_Kbuntu_ or whatever it all ends up being just Unbuntu.....

[usaprankcalls]

i have duel boot with ubuntu and vista

[fernbap]

In fact it is way better to run XP with VirtualBox from Ubuntu than the other way around. Unless you are a gamer

[tutorialconr]

I have Ubuntu 9.10 Virtualbox 2.2.2 3d accelerataion Enabled with guest additions. Video ram given is 128MB. Still not working =(

[hbah427]

9.10? Holy crap, where'd you get that?

[ilegalsheepbutcher]

9.10 is still in alpha, its very unstable and will most likely break most systems, but you can download it on the ubuntu website

[tutorialconr]

I can install Ubuntu and enabled 3d acceleration but still it says "Effects cannot be enabled" Please can Chris or ano one else help?

[ComputerGeek000]

Are you on VirtualBox OSE or an old version? I know for me running Ubuntu as a host using VirtualBox OSE I can't get the effects. What host are you running it on?

[tutorialconr]

No. I have Vbox 2.2.2. The host is Windows 7. Not tried in Vista

[ComputerGeek000]

Did you install guest additions?

[tutorialconr]

Tried. Gives an error. Trying of 8.04 now. Thanks for the support dude =D

[ComputerGeek000]

You're welcome :)

[rhoghost]

hey, i had that issue too, i made sure i use the new 9.04 ub and latest vbox. he installed, updated, then, installed that guest addtions thing, the it finally worked.

[tutorialconr]

Thanks for uploading. I was about to buy VmWare no just gotta Virtualboxxin' Thanks again Chris!

[ankin8]

I cant get ubuntu 32-bit on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. plz help. i loaded it as a an iso, but it gets stuck on installing it.

[taptoepat]

micr. virtual pc is crap...better use vmware or virtualbox...

[DarkS3phiroth17]

Oo eh?

if you cant get this work it doesnt mean that doesnt work, pls..in fact this work OOB on any OS.

and on mac you have also parallels and vmware fusion, so its just your problem..

aniway i found virtual box run better than the others sw,

but use also more resources.

[gotpsp06]

so could i just run virtual box on xp and install ubuntu on virtual box?

[gotpsp06]

virtualbox wont work. says it might wreck my system soon or in the future

[Burletonboy]

my god he's a geek

[JamesManes]

Xorg sucks, Alsa needs fixed, not enough compat, wine is not an excuse as it sucks ass.

[Gondee]

that was positive

[JamesManes]

Its the truth. I will go back to linux once Xorg is fixed, Alsa is fixed and the battery life problem they have is fixed.

[tuxsbro]

9.04 fixed the sound problems, and my 3.5 year old battery lasts 2.5 hours, I've never had major problems with Xorg.

[JamesManes]

your sound problems. not everyones. 2.5 hours is pathetic and I bet you are at low settings. I can run my mac at about 2/3 settings and get 5-6 hrs. Oh and yet again you are not everyone, I have had hell with Xorg.

[tuxsbro]

2.5 hours from the battery that got 3.5 when the laptop was new with windoze xp

[videogamegod88]

wow ive never seen it running compiz in vm

[eagle003]

Yea,

try Gnome Do Docky in Linux Ubuntu,

it's like a mac doc!

[JamesManes]

Not even close. Do you have stacks?

[ThingsontheWeb]

I can't get the effects to work

[cofusion9]

i already have 8.11 on my comp. not going to remove that. got lots installed to it and what not. not going to get 9.04

[runie360]

you can upgrade and keep all of your programs.

upgrade it thru the package manager. its easy

[triniclemist90]

9.04 created nothing but problems for me. The alpha and beta worked fine but the day before the final release they removed the video drivers that work with my computer and I lost all effects. At first I thought my graphics card was dying, but after reinstalling 8.10 I can run compiz flawlessly again.

[haitham123sa]

How did you reinstall 8.1?

[Gondee]

The first few days they didnt have them, but you can just install the drivers via the package manager. thats what i had to do for it.

[FBHSswimmer2006]

THAT IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!!! i wonder if this will work with Aero in Vista/7? i'm gonna download and install the new Ubuntu in my virtualbox sometime this week.

[EMGPJt]

Ubuntu FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hardkoregamer1981]

linux rocks enough said!

[desmondo2006]

Has anybody installed mac osx on virtual box yet?

[authserv]

Legally can't

[vaughnscheunemann]

?..

[RileysWill]

whyyy ubuntu ???

why not one of the better one , ubuntu is like the basic one nothing really special about it.

[fernbap]

In a way you are right. Ubuntu is not the best distribution for newcomers, specially windows users. Even within the ubuntu universe, Kubuntu would be a better choice for windows users.

But the main problem is Ubuntu not including non-opensource software (although free as well), like mp3 codec or flash, although they are just a mouse click away.

For newcomers, better a more complete distro, where everything works from the start. I found Linux Mint and recomend it for windows users.

[little8020]

Well Mint is just a version of Kubuntu with those things in it.

[fernbap]

that's the point (based on Ubuntu, not Kubuntu).

With Linux Mint Live CD everything works out-of-the-box (well, probably not 3D acceleration, because of proprietary drivers needed to install in the harddrive).

Also, Mint main menu is awesome (and much more like windows menu as well).

[little8020]

Thats why because it is easy and basic.

Ubuntu is my main OS and it is awesome

[rhoghost]

hey did ne one managed to enable compiz in virtual box,like chris did?

[blakaxe]

why do firefox fonts suck in Ubuntu?

[fernbap]

This guy is odd.

He calls himself a power user, but he speaks about Linux all he says is 3D desktop and wobbly windows. Is that what a OS is?

Does he know so little about what he's talking about?

[lazypoet123]

That's just for this specific video, man. This video is all about Compiz Fusion in Ubuntu Inside a Virtual Machine... See one of his other 2000+ videos for more "power user" stuff.

[Crak3rJack3r]

ive been using compiz fusion....n i love it...yea yea

[McParcero]

i cant use the 3d effects on my desktop ... i activate the compiz .. but still cant .. ani help ..

[overclocked221]

Used Ubuntu for while and loved it, and even did a video report on it for my operating systems class. Only problem I had with it was when i thought it would be a good idea to update my g card driver, i couldnt ever get compiz fusion to ever work again.

[LordDestros]

"Only problem I had with it was when i thought it would be a good idea to update my g card driver, i couldnt ever get compiz fusion to ever work again."

Using the graphics drivers provided by standard Ubuntu repositories is usually the easiest option. Newer Nvidia releases are added when deemed stable by the community (usually happens around the time of a new release).

[fernbap]

1- disable desktop effects

2- remove the driver.

3- enable desktop effects. Ubuntu will get the correct driver form the repositories, and (hopefully) everything will work again.

[firecad2006]

ubuntu is my one and only OS

[MicrosoftWindowsGuy]

Yeah, no... I'd rather NOT do everything throught the command line, considering this IS 2009. And I'd rather the drivers for my wireless card and video card actually work. It isn't the hardware, believe me...

[fernbap]

you are obviously a windows guy: you don't know what you are talking about :P

[MicrosoftWindowsGuy]

Actually, no. I used Ubuntu for about a week and had to reinstall it three times. There were other horrid occurrences. I know what I am talking about.

[TimTheReaper]

ubuntu ftw

[bigstrappa]

well i just run ubuntu as my main os, and just boot up in windows if i need to play a game.

[videogamegod88]

wow if this is true i might never have to reboot

[Devil2maylaughhaha]

Hey chris, you wanna try Wubi for windows! its a windows based Linux installer. It enables you install 4 different flavours of Linux, including Ubuntu, and you can select the size of a portion of your hard disk, and if you wanna remove it, you can simply Uninstall in the control panel. This enables me to quad boot. :) Brilliant video!

[wrileys]

wubi didn't work for me :( so I just installed ubuntu on a different partition..which took me forever to learn how to do lol...

[knuzooyorker]

compiz has been free forever, get it right. sheesh. n00b

[Ghettone]

see you in seattle

[tbagriot]

I tried enabling Compiz w/ Guest Additions installed and 3D acelleration enabled and still no avail. "Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled". I have an 8800GT and Compiz works fine in my tri-boot.

[tbagriot]

Edit: Re-installed and now it works.

[jawn108]

also use sun's virtualbox no need too shell out cash for vmware

[jawn108]

bsd and opensolaris also have compitz

[wizkid22]

the virtualbox is free the Os is free the mac is 5000 dollars

[PlayerXT]

yo dawg i heard you liked operating systems so we put an OS in your OS so you can interface with your hardware while you interface with your hardware

[xxcomphelpxx]

I would use ubuntu, but everytime i install it it won't let me connect to the internet, maybe you could help me?

[modman1234567]

some one inside chat said windows 95 lol

[Zemnexx]

fuckin windows 98!

[MasterFire84]

No... My excuse is, I run Fedora ;)

[samusuaran]

I have a fedora on my head XD

[tdsok]

Ubuttu FTW!

[redneckboy6983]

i'm tired of this ubuntu, i was a junkie of linux and now it got old quick. im back to windows and so no more need of the headaches of my stuff not working with ubuntu. sure its a great secondary choice OS but whats the point... y dual boot, y say okay i dont need to play crysis so lets fire up ubuntu. doesnt make sense to me. thats my 2cents. virtualbox works fine when your in windows and wanna run ubuntu. there are screen cast already. wobbly windows, what a GEEK....

[fernbap]

Your handle says it all...

[redneckboy6983]

your responses say it all...

[TechForThought]

i just got ubuntu 9.04 "jaunty jackalope" for servers in the mail....whoops. I thought i ordered the desktop version..... who cares its free and i can always use a server OS

[ItsBretterDotCom]

I Ubuntu.

[Joh739]

I'm a Ubuntu user for about 2 years now and I just love it. I'm also an Compiz addict, I just can't stand systems that only have one desktop it makes me feel handicap.

[roskal3120]

virtualbox wont start :(

running Win7 beta build 7000

anyonw know how to fix it??

[jonytonybonk]

ya get the win7 RC

[Joh739]

Do you have enough ram because VM's need a lot of ram. With Win 7 I would recommend at least 2 Gig's.

[roskal3120]

I got 2gig's of ram, also virtualbox opens at least in task manager, because I have to shut it down from there. It only takes a total of 5MB of the RAM but 50% if the cpu (AMD Athlon 4000+ @ 2625mhz)

[computerguy307]

could not get it to work on my VM

[ElectrizCity]

You never actually explained why I should install Ubuntu besides for wobbly windows. Is there anything exclusive and/or better I can get on a Linux system?

[Peter07Pal]

Virus free, better internet speeds, a faster OS (most of the time) opensource apps, list goes on.

[fernbap]

I'm sorry, but that is not the way to experiment an OS. The correct way is a dual boot system. Only then you can really evaluate your system. There are several utilities available to reduce the size of your windows partition, making space for another partition in your harddrive to install Ubuntu and keep both OSes running at full strength.

Also, Ubuntu can access windows partitions, so you will be able to use windows documents from inside Ubuntu, in order to try openoffice, for instance.

[laxbillion89]

why on virtualbox.. install it as your primary OS in your system.. ubuntu is already having everything you need on a desktop except games.... ofcourse you can play them with xbox or PS2/3 .. :)

[Thorosium]

I've been waiting a while for hardware acceleration!

[markcruiser64]

how about a tip on editing the Grub boot manager so you can have Windows XP as the default, and Ubuntu as the second choice. They should make that easier to edit..

[fernbap]

there are several grub editors available, just check the software repositories (most are not enabled by default). Ubuntu has a "software sources" utility for that.

[markcruiser64]

Ubuntu 9.04 recognized my Soundbalster Audigy SE card aromatically! That was my only gripe with Ubuntu 8.04. GREAT!

[josephbcohen]

Chris is running mac os 10 right? Where is his dock?

[5oRaFe]

lol u can hide the dock on os 10

[andreasheiberg]

sory don't know if it's a stupid quistion but i tryed for some weeks ago but gave up when I found out that I whas needed to burn ubuntu down on a cd if I wanted to install it in virtualbox. Is there some way around this problem so I didn't ned to use a cd

[fernbap]

yes, you just set the virtualbox to mount the iso image of the CD and install from there. No problem at all

[andreasheiberg]

but I don't wanna use a cd

[Peter07Pal]

If you have USB live then use unetbootin

[andreasheiberg]

That dosn't work on mac and I can't find a program like it

[vamtire]

It works with a mac,you need parrellels,go google the tutorial,i tried it before

[iKingAntonio]

Thank you for showing me this program Chris. It is very cool. Thank you a lot of for this video.

[andreasheiberg]

sory don't know if it's a stupid quistion but i tryed for some weeks ago but gave up when I found out that I whas needed to burn ubuntu down on a cd if I wanted to install it in virtualbox. Is there some way around this problem so I didn't ned to use a cd

[JereHakala]

Daemon tools?

[rhoghost]

hwy i installed it, i mean the new v.box, and ub 8.04 but couldn't enable3d effects. i wonder how he did it

[KopMaister]

VMWare fusion !

[rhoghost]

no thats not vm ware

thats virtual box, ne way, this new virtual box, is much faster than the older vmwares i have used.

[boblflef]

I cant get my Pinnacle TV card to work so im just about to give up :-(

[Ne0nLiteZ]

only reason i dont use ubuntu is because flash lags horribly and im on flash 24/7

[fireicer]

becoming more stable lol it is more stable aslong as you dont break it lol solaris is more stable but there is not much in between ubuntu and solaris mind you lol

[madhi19]

Stable enough that I been running it on my old pentium 3 for the last two years and I did not get much problem upgrading from hardy to Ibex and now jaunty. now imagine what it linux ubuntu can do on a modern pc!

[ShingoEX]

My only real excuse is familiarity. I'm sure it has advantages over Windows, but I'm just used to this OS, and it does what I want.

For others who find non-Windows OSs works for them, more power to ya :)

[emufan23]

That´s my reason too, and i think it´s perfectly valid.

[TuxGnome]

Linux=Ubuntu,Debian,Fedora,Ope­nsuse,RedHat they are the best

[BritishRider]

Awesome. I'll try to do this with virtualbox on windows.

[TheTarrMan]

It don't take me much to make me happy too.

[julianjackson24]

Ubuntu! :D

[D0M1N8R1x]

vmware has 3d acceleration.. been about 2 years since I've used it but it had 3d acceleration then or was in beta stage then.

[rugbyymadman]

Can any one help me! I want to run Itunes and lime-wire or frost-wire on a external hdd so i dont get any viruses! I have an old 40gb ps3 hdd and would like 2 try 2 run it off that. Is there any ways of doing this?? If not is there any way of putting a small operating system on an hdd? Any help welcome! I am also running windows vista if it makes a difference.

[Windows7IsCool]

you can install a OS on a external hard disk, just GOOGLE it. Also, i recommend dont use limewire and frostwire as they use the gnutella network which has TONS of adware and spyware. Use ares instead.

[rugbyymadman]

Thanks for the help! Going to give it a go.

[master74200]

This is real fucking amazing, i'm downloading it all right now. Also, thanks for informing me about the new Ubuntu version, i've been waiting for it for quite a while :D

[alexanderjurjens]

If you're running an OS inside a VM, then I think you're just scared. You can better install it right on the HD if you want access to more resources and have better performance.

[bdegrande]

Or, since performance simply doesn't matter so much for many applications, you could simply want to switch quickly between OSs, or cut and paste between them, or not have to waste disk space in a partition for each OS, and not be "scared" at all.

[AcolyteV1]

I think it's kind of a shame that I can activate all these advanced 3D effects - rain drops on the desktop, windows setting on fire when closed, 3D desktop cube, etc etc - using Ubuntu with 512mb of RAM in VirtualBox, yet I can't get the simple transparencies of Windows 7 to work using higher specs in Virtual Box. How can MS make it take more power to NOT show a window, than it takes Ubuntu to create a 3D environment?

[johny30238]

Ive used virtual box for a while its a great program

[fmackert]

that's cool

[hamburglerz77]

VMware Workstation is great

[epicxbread]

Meh, im more of a Debian/Fedora guy.

[UnrelentingAssault]

Indeed, while I'm not much of an advocate of Fedora(well, RPM distro's as a whole) Debian has been stable, only bad thing about it is the abundance of outdated pieces of software. This was about a year ago though, not too sure if it changed, but since then I've been running Arch which is just as solid with amazing package management.

[Reck0092]

i ubuntu

[aweiberjager]

I ubuntu :D

[gotpsp06]

so will it work on windows xp?

[coollad60]

yeup

[RavenDragonfire]

Awesome Chris, i run Ubuntu on my laptop and its great, haven't upgrade to the newset verson though.

[guitar1050]

LOL 7:45

[CamiloSanchez1979]

i used ubuntu for a while, wanted to put the compz thing..messed up, went to the forums and found a bunch of assholes just like me looking for solutions too..and they say "ooohh..the support is unbelievable, you just find the answer in the forums"...yeahh, right!..kiss my fucking ass, someone better grabs ubuntu and starts making some money out of support problems folks, and fuuuck, pirillo your voice is annoying as hell!!!

[IncendiaHL]

pssst! you can buy professional support at the ubuntu webpage.

And if you actually behave well on the forums, you will get great help.

I like Fedora and CentOS for servers better then ubuntu

Ubuntu is a great way to start with linux.
