I have ubuntu on my dell inspiron mini 9. Everytime I run package manager from the right click menu and click install all updates i get the following error messege: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

My web browser has also stopped opening and i cant get wireless internet connection. What should i do? please help.

@mrfresh9900 I'd recommend a OS refresh personally. Backup your needed data and reload.

Since this video I have upgraded to Mac OS for the mini 9. Its wonderful!

@mrfresh9900 Just restart your router, dude. That is the 1 issue with ubuntu. It will not stay on your router if your router is being an asshole with phones and video chats. I personally recomend a new router, faster please!

it's just 35 seconds without the bios loading at startup!!

[hoshnasi]

@Schweegi 35 seconds isn't bad all things considered, but faster is always better :)

[jessexbraughton]

is that a Mac mini in the backround?

you like mini's a lot o.o!

[hoshnasi]

@jessexbraughton

The Mini 9 is sitting on a Macbook pro. I don't own a Mac Mini, but I do like them!

Next year in my school, business tech academy students (which I am) going to get one of these laptop, but I don't know if we have to bring it home to do homework.

[hoshnasi]

How did that work out? Did they give you netbooks or full sized laptops?

[zainthesnipe]

what are the specs on your specific netbook and what price did u pay

im buying a netbook and was a little curious cause i love ubuntu

[hoshnasi]

I paid under $300.00 for the netbook and have been using it daily since the posting of this vide. I have since loaded OSX, its pretty awesome! I recommend the RunCore 32GB HD or bigger if you can handle it.

[tjsvitak]

all in all for the hardware of a netbook, 45 seconds isnt a bad time.

static guard( my favorite) but i just ran out

[SLeepdepD]

...Is that foot spray in the background?

[hoshnasi]

It's "Cling Free" static spray for clothes. The wife left it on the desk.

Keen eye for detail though.

[darkdawn01]

that is a really fast bootup for ubuntu desktop!

i really like it.

[smurfsinc]

Not exactly... My old 2GHZ single core desktop boots in about 25 seconds

[arnolddisco]

So Ubuntu boot is very fast from the bios?

[hoshnasi]

Ubuntu is faster than Windows from BIOS no doubt!

[bdalb]

Are you able to sync your iPhone with a ubuntu system?

[hoshnasi]

There are options to sync music back and forth. I'm looking into that too.

[stchman]

Apple has taken care of not being compatible with Linux.

[hoshnasi]

There has been some interest in the status of a BIOS update. Sadly, nothing is out for us yet. I'm going to make a video soon to cover how to update the Ubuntu loaded software though. So look forward to that.

[milodbumb]

Better than the video i did.... I love the heck out of my mini.

[hoshnasi]

I believe the issue is related to the bios.  There is a bios update for the Windows Minis, but not he Ubuntu models yet. You might want to check that out.

[unaclocker]

Good video. I have the same exact unit. I noticed the same thing. EIGHT wasted seconds between the time you hit the power button, and the computer doing ANYTHING.. That's insane. Totally unacceptable, imho. What is it doing for 8 seconds before even posting?
