Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on Compiz Fusion

[imperatorPalpatine]

with wine you can play as many DX games on linux you want^^ and its free

[Daumex]

Keep bitching, you can't play a single DX game...

[java501]

I have been playing World of Warcraft with Ubuntu for Ages. Do you need any other game ever? and it runs much better than it would in a Windows rig any day of the week.

[Daumex]

Most of us have real lives, so we don't need Wow... :D

[whenmacsattak]

compiz fusion and linux or so much better than that piece of shit windows crapped out known as windows 7

[ephidapoon]

7 is not so bad, faster than vista also from my point of view

[java501]

why install Windows on any physical System just run it inside a virtual Machine like Sun's VirtualBox el presto you have wintdows 7 running inside Ubuntu Virtual box system. No downtime ever again.

[ephidapoon]

great except that I cant run half of my applications on a virtual machine

[bobmartinique]

hey,

what's the name of this skin?

Thanks!

[heartcoldfusion]

hey guys i have an idea, how about we all be rampant fanbois over some computer software then post our opinions on youtube, the bastion of intelligent discussion and intellectual thought.

[tsatsa12]

how do i set background image when i have the cube active ?

[deleonmasterful]

hey buddy, I just installed Ubuntu so i'm a noob. How do you have that RcktDock effect on your screen?

[zeppelin8787]

easy.just google howto install AWN in ubuntu.

[Zenham]

@deleon: That's Avant Window Manager (AWN). Search for it with Synaptic, you'll likely want the Avant notification daemon as well.

[tewkewl]

i don't know a lot about ubuntu. what are the advantages it has over windows besides being free.

[mactube]

Besides copying OS X's dock, Expose, zooming, the Cube effect, etc., can you show me something... anything, anything that Linux innovated rather than simply copied and borrowed or modified from somewhere else?

[deebeeoh]

The OS X dock is not an apple innovation, get off your high horse. Stardock has been making dock like applications since the Windows 3.1 era (1994 at the earliest).

Additionally, Apple has borrowed many ideas from the open source community, not the least of which include its browser engine, large swaths of its kernel, and the base of its graphics framework (OpenGL). Oh and spaces... aka virtual desktops... thats a linux/unix thing.

[mactube]

deebeech, Windows 3.1 began in 1991, NextStep began in 1989 by Steve Jobs, so how could StarDock have created the dock? It only came to Windows after OS/2 died, since that's where it was first created for in 1991. I know all about Apple's open-source, but the dock, expose, the cube effect and all other animated desktops, they were a product of Apple's, not the open source community! Don't believe me, check it up on Wikipedia! Apple's WebKit, is only partially based on open source, not all of it!

[Zenham]

Mactube: OSX copied the dock from Stargate software. All of the other things you're complaining about linux "stealing" is actually just display effects within the window manager, which is Compiz, not "Linux". As for Linux innovating things, you might want to stop and remind yourself that OSX is FreeBSD under the hood, which Apple didn't write. Your ENTIRE OS is from somewhere else.

[natmusak]

Wow, "you're entire OS is from somewhere else." I guess that's ONE way to say it. What, is Apple not supposed to use grade-A open-source code?

Another way to look at it is OS X is the most popular UNIX-based distribution in the world.

[Tophan]

Windows is the most popular distribution in the world. So what?

[natmusak]

Congratulations, you just equivocated Mac OS X/UNIX to Windows.

[SiGentil]

Pas mal

[SiGentil]

Pas mal !

[ramoj02]

what is Intrepid Ibex?

Im a noob at this..lol

[rshotshot]

Its the code name for Ubuntu 8.10.

For example, Ubuntu 9.04 is named Jaunty Jackalope and Ubuntu 9.10 is going to be named Karmic Koala.

[hellvillains]

dude.......ur desktop rendering is low.....get a better graphics card

[rshotshot]

I'm not a gamer or anything, I don't even use Gnome I just installed it to make the video :$

[seanmtracey]

what did you use to record this video, I've been searching Google for days to find something that does this.

[Its11a11Goat11Thing]

how to you set the up, such as the windows minimiseing onto the dock and such...and what dock u useing? cause the one i have now sucks a fat one

[rshotshot]

[jord534]

My 8.10 installation freeze evry time

[inocente106]

umm... try windows instead....

[bettrgoaliethanRoy33]

can you give me the link to the wallpaper?

[rshotshot]

just run a search on google "best linux wallpapers" and more than positive you'll run into it.

[bettrgoaliethanRoy33]

can you get that cube on mandriva?

[bettrgoaliethanRoy33]

nevermind about the cube i figured it out

[setheroon1]

was that google crome or a firefox theme?

[rshotshot]

Firefox theme :P

Although Google announced that the linux/mac versions of chrome are going to get released soon

[dgill1200]

can these effects such as desktop cube be used without a nvidia graphics card. I'm using a brand new HP Pavillion Entertainment DV6000 and running ubuntu 8.10 with Wubi. Any ideas

[rshotshot]

What is ur graphics card? Mine is a shitty Nvidia 6100 built in graphics card and it runs really smooth.

Eh, if your computer is new and decent; it should easily be able to run them.Give it a try with Wubi.

[Chipudnik]

i to am new to ubuntu, and the add/remove programs always freezes, and im forced to force quit

any other ways to doownload this?>

ps im emulating in MS virtual PC 2007 SP1

[rshotshot]

Just install through Wubi.. Virtual PC's suck.

[rshotshot]

search ubuntu on google

[french4clouds]

How do you enable that launcher at the bottom of the screen?

[rshotshot]

Install Avant Window Navigator.

[french4clouds]

Thanks for the super sonic speed reply!

[rshotshot]

Heh, you just caught me at the right time while I was browsing YouTube. :P

[SaiE8]

i have Ubuntu 8.10 where do i download the effects, (im new to ubuntu =D)

[rshotshot]

Go to Applications > Add/Remove programs, and search for ccsm and install something called Advanced Effects ... (ccsm).

After installing go to System > Preferences > Compiz Settings Manager, and start customizing.

[AustinOlson]

I went back to Ubuntu from Vista when Ibex was released. I'm very impressed. Best release yet.

[jeroeniskoning]

ubuntu 4 life
