Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron Upgrade

[cristianviola93]

good

[Pokemon978IsBackOn]

Whoops, by PC, I meant Ubuntu

[Pokemon978IsBackOn]

Just wondering, how come in the beginning the buttons in the corner of the window are on the right? Did you make your PC look like Mac?

[theuncanspan]

haha this guy's economic 29.~kbps must be 256K DSL

[Q7R43]

Linux mint is mutch beter

[uvmedraco]

No way!! its good but :/ i dno its pretty ugly like windows :D

[Q7R43]

Ok :)

[maw88ify]

Linux Mint isn't really better than ubuntu ...

Mint is just made to be easy to uses for noobs...

[IvanAdamska]

Q7R43: i would hate to tell you this but LinuxMint IS based off of Ubuntu so all your using is a fork of ubuntu as ubuntu is a fork off of Debain.

[Q7R43]

I knowe that. Now have i tride the nysest ubuntu that whas great beter the mint But I like mint to.

[IvanAdamska]

i tried LinuxMint 7 and it was WAY to buggy for me,

all in all i use BSD but i like Ubuntu very easy to use and manage GO TEAM UBUNTU!.

[JuniorDExchangecore]

Yup, most of them, at least. Use a ubuntu program called Wine. Go to their website to see the performance ratings for the games.

[Baldurpet]

I personally think that's incredibly simple.

I seems that Ubuntu's policy is: "Linux users are a small market so we need to make everything as smooth and simple and possible to get more users". Upgrading to a new distro or downloading regular updates is a MILLION times easier in Linux than Windows.

Windows never gave me a choice to update my computer, I would maybe take a shower and it automatically restarted the computer and the once an update broke my computer.

Almost no restart for Ubuntu!

[JuniorDExchangecore]

People are still watching this? 9.04 is already out.

[Baldurpet]

Ubuntu 9.04 is out?

Whoa I gotta surf the Net with Netscape on Windows 95 and check this out!

[JuniorDExchangecore]

Its been out for months. :P

[Baldurpet]

I was just kidding, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 on one of my computer

[ido187]

9.10 is out!:)

[Baldurpet]

And the long time support release 10.04 is out soon(-ish)!

[Slegarthoth]

Look up a program that works with Linux called Wine.

[MinhyMintyMouse]

not all games, only some

dual boot if you wanna play games

[glennzoo]

Wow has higher FPS on linux, Cod works on linux but fails at ubuntu (some other distros will work), crysis is said to work im not sure though and i dont know bout gta4

[AzuriteBullets]

can some1 tell me what is ubuntu plz i really thank you if you did =D

[IncrediguyProduction]

okay ubuntu is an operating system. it is completely free its softwares are open source, which means you dont have to pay for it like in microsoft. ubuntu is a linux distribution (operating system) it is a linux operating system. there are many linux operating systems there like openSUSE, Linux Mint, Mandriva, Fedora, i recommend fedora it is the best linux ever! but now the latest fedora is fedora 10 but they will release fedora 11 on june 9 2009 - hope this helps! also can you pls sub to me!

[MixedMartialArtists]

its an operating system... Its like saying Microsoft. or Mac OS X

[xj2yzz]

You could try it,but if you are on dial up,forget it.

[deichk1nd]

ubuntu rocks!

[masterkronixster]

its ur ,mum being rammd up da arse with a caddle prod...

do u know what a caddle prod is its a stick

[marcotje09]

if you boot it will it delete aaaaaall your files and xp?(because i got xp)

[droasis1]

It will not, unless you specifically install it OVER xp instead of shrinking XP.

[Moromete89]

I want to install Ubuntu but I need Windows for school. Will I be able to write my programs for Windows using Ubuntu ? I use Pascal and Visual FoxPro.

[AirsoftSniper727]

Just install using Wubi so you can Duel Boot and see if you like Ubuntu before you fully install it

[AndieeDude]

umm, i installed ubuntu today, but i cant install the flash player? Please help

[DavidPlim]

is it 64 bit? because if it is you need to use the terminal

[AndieeDude]

nevermind, i removed Ubuntu, nothing for me =)

[haschdude1337]

wtf dude that is not ubuntu thats fucking MAC OS X ? or is it a team ?SD:SäQAFLafl ?A OR WHAT ?

[uvmedraco]

its just a theme he got

[0SukMunky0]

Yes it's just a theme...

[chazzyfizzle1234]

where did he get his theme from?

[dragosmaxx]

It's all explained on their website, you have all details required installation and so many other things. Recomandation: First install windows, second ubuntu..you will never regret to try it..

[uvmedraco]

i first found ubuntu when it was on version 8.04 when i did an all nighter last summer lol

[janimator99]

WHATS THE SONG

[nookiejj]

I'm about to buy Asus Eee PC 1000HE, and I like to install Ubuntu 9.04 on the Notebook. Is Ubuntu faster and compatible with most things than Windows XP?

Because I like the look of it, and I like to try something new. I will be using this Notebook mostly for making scholwork (office programs and such) and browsing trough the internet.

[PCWizKid]

You should install both XP and Ubuntu dual boot , trust me you will be happier .

[nookiejj]

You know a good website that explains how to install Ubuntu correctly? And understanding the use of a Dual Boot?

Thanks for the fast respond :)

[hellstudios]

Well IDK, ubuntu comes with all the things you'll need to make school / work related things, and by going to system, administration, synaptic package manager then search for WINE. install, and you'll be able to run most windows applications as if they were made for ubuntu.

[thepcspecialist]

get windows

download wubi, let it do all the work

thats what i did

[jakeb1997]

does this work if you have ubuntu in wubi???

[Gamerz22]

Bleh, Mac OS X theme... Get something better (theme) or get the actual OS. It's just bleh to use a theme that's misleading. It's like people using windows themes on linux.

[wolfetb]

What's the name of that theme? Where did you get it (what site)?

[PCWizKid]

Hi, click on the link to my blog article that explains where to get the themes.

[ibtmh89]

Linux Is the Shit Windows users are nubs

[divinenuker]

of course, unless you know what the hell your doing, then windows isn't too shabby. I do, thus, I haven't had any major probs with it for the past 7 years. I also use Ubunto, Mac, Redhat, etc. They all are good in their respective senses. If I want to play Fallout 3 on max resolution and settings, I wouldn't go to my Mac, Ubunto or Redhat. I would use my custom built PC.

[Benc1213]

Great Video. By the way what program do you use to record this?

[uvmedraco]

ye, bcus u cant use it lool

[ps3rulez2008]

why?

[mc1mitchie]

linux is shit!!!!!!!!!!!! i had it and nearly though my laptop out the window you need windows or atleased mac dont download linux you will regret it...

just my opinon

[xredsandx]

What exactly did you not like about it?

[DigiTan000]

I can't speak for mc1mitchie, but 7.10 live CD crashes my system worse than my XP ever did. Even in video safe mode. GParted and Firefox crash within my first few operations and sometimes I don't even make it to the desktop before my system freezes.

[xredsandx]

That sounds like an awful OS experience. The OS must have shoddy compatibility with your hardware. Either way, an experience like that definitely justifies your feelings. Good luck with your current OS.

[xXBornToGameXx]

im new to it but what is Ubuntu?

[PCWizKid]

It is a free distribution of Linux which has its own flavor of operating system. Its basically an alternative to installing and using Microsoft Windows or Apple's OSX.

[DerDoenerInMir]

how about games, does it support all the games and maybe even this *Games for Windows* and have u ever experienced any problems with drivers for ur hardware, and software in general-which worked fine on windows?

[deadeo666]

Can you make a video on how to download and install Ubuntu on Xp

[latticelinux]

You make some decent vids but stop with the secreat love of macs plz. I hate when people make linux look like osx.

[YogiToad]

Um..a developer told me they are all basically the same system so....

[xredsandx]

It looks similar to OS X, but only people who hardly use OS X would be fooled into believing that it was genuinely OS X.

[blink56k]

word.

[kirchmaster]

hey PCWizKid, are you using 8.10 right now or are you waiting for a new LTS like me? I tried 8.10 but it was really buggy for me and my speakers or compiz fusion wouldnt work on it.

[PCWizKid]

You got me! yup I just upgraded to 8.10 last week, I couldnt wait, I'll be making tons of videos on that very soon. 8.10 fixed a lot of problems for me.

[kirchmaster]

oh, i had no problems with 8.04 and i had tons of problems on 8.10 so i am just going to wait for the new lts

[echoes15]

i know this is off topic. But have you ever tryed portable ubuntu for a flash drive or linux for a flash drive. The program is called pendrive i have tryed using it before but i get a boot load error i was wondering if you could do a tut for me to help me fix me problem

[th3c0d3]

i didnt know that you also talked about ubuntu until i just checked your youtube page

[angelteves]

about the ubuntu, how can i look for the deleted files??, and what site can i download the desctop w/c gives a box effect....

[xBICYCLEx]

would ubuntu run faster than xp? i have a horribly ancient laptop and xp is just way too slow. would ubuntu run it faster?

[PCWizKid]

Hi, Ubuntu would probably run faster yes.

[CS3IS]

not for me. Maybe the virtualization was taking my system resources down.

[dexarouskies]

I started with 8.04, but I look forward to the next upgrade. It looks like it will be easy to upgrade.

[lukyjohncena]

where can i get ubuntu themes and wallpapers like that, i've been searching for days and i can't find anything,

[PCWizKid]

Watch my other ubuntu videos they explain where to get free themes.

[PFSLAYER]

I have Ubuntu 8.04, its great!

[VistaGeek121]

how do I install flash layer on Ubuntu? I want it to be my main machine, but I still want t watch videos and lay flash games too.

[skate0721]

Man, I hope 8.10 Beta is gonna be better than the alpha..I had lots of problems with the Alpha.

[orgthingy]

NEVER use alpha or BETA ! only in vm to TEST it dont actually use it :P!

[qwertyx7ts]

i have too ubuntu 8.04 and mac os theme but it doesent look very well so please where did you get your mac os theme..i like to download it

[PCWizKid]

Hi, thanks for watching, please visit the link in the video description for details on the theme.

Cheers

[samsiteone]

WOW.

I'm subscribing, this kid has a lot of good videos. and that's the same theme I have. well mine is called Mac4Lin.

[PCWizKid]

Thanks for your support and watching my videos.

[samsiteone]

No...

Thank you, everyone else is showing off eye candy and you actually take your time to show how things are done.

So thank you very much for all your efforts and hard work, is much appreciated from my part.

[noimus13]

Nice Vid. ubuntu pwnz all!

[neweraforfire]

Why do so many ubuntu user try to make it look like OSX? Takes away the point a bit!

[naryanr]

cause it's a radically better operating system than mac (not to mention free), but they like the look of mac? thought it was fairly obvious. unbuntu doesn't really have a "look"

[TheGuruOfTime]

What naryanr said...of course Linux (any distro) is actually way better and more advanced (NOT because is free) than Windows and Mac (Windows being the crappiest) but I think everybody likes the Mac Leopard look. It looks beautiful I think. The only problem will always be the acceptance so Microsoft and Apple (not as much) have way more third party support for certain software and such.

[travishayes1989]

Is there a way of doing this with a disk?

Also, I can't freaking get Madwifi to build on my computer so I can use my Atheros. Should I just get a PCMCIA (or whatever the heck it is) card?

[LostFreak93]

PcWizKid. Is there a way to Change my "Login Screen" to look like Mac, Linux, or Anything besides Windows?

[VeggieXD]

Awesome, I might buy an EEEPC With Ubuntu on it =P

[PCWizKid]

Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Cheers

[VeggieXD]

Np :)

[Papajohn0125]

I'm currentley downloading Ubuntu 7.10 iso so I can burn it to have the live disk. I'm going to later install the OS onto my PC from the live disk. But the question I wanted to ask is...how do you go about upgrading the Ubuntu version? Is their a prompt everytime you log on? Or do you have to go through your file menus, ect. to retrieve an upgrade option?

[PCWizKid]

Thats right! Ubuntu has a built in Auto update that checks over the internet for updates and notifies you. So when an updated version of Ubuntu comes out you will be notified.

[klitedrunner]

can you not run games under wine alright? not into games just one of the many things you read about when running ubuntu. not sure all te stuff you learn is a good thing or makes you more depependent on computers!

[othellowaborn15]

PC wizkid can you a vid if you have time to. of how to install the Awn Dock to make it look like Mac. PLs it will be great thanks

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

Cairo-dock is more mac-like and it has tons of options and skins ;)

[DC211228]

Hi im building a high end desktop and deciding on what OS to use. So far it looks like ubuntu is going to take the cake (only con is that I don't like the mac looking windows as much as vista). But what's my best choice for speed and compatability? I will be playing games on it.

[PCWizKid]

You can customize Ubuntu to look like vista, thats not hard. I just didnt want to. As for playing games, you can, but directx 9 games, not directx10, you may want to dual boot your PC with windows just incase.

Cheers

[DC211228]

thanks, but when dual booting, does that just meen that I have the option of which OS to use when booting?

[PCWizKid]

yes, but it assumes you have Windows installed first in most cases to make things easier. Then install Ubuntu so it installs a boot manager for you.

[DC211228]

hey never mind. I should have just found out for myself in the first place. Anyway I don't think i will dual boot just because that would mean another 200$ spent. Tho I might eventualy. In my research I'v also found out about open gl. Could Open GL replace my want for directx?

[WinVista1]

yes

[CivilHuman]

Man I wish ubuntu 8.4 would have worked for me, For some reason fire fox crashed every two minutes. If it would have worked perfect I would have switched from windows to it. Ubuntu in the future will be awesome Cant wait, learning a new Os is fun.

[Disturbed116]

i have the same problem.

[CivilHuman]

I know a big bummer, cant wait until they fix that.

[PCWizKid]

Right click on the 2 workspaces and change the amount from 2 to 4, then you will have the cube!

Enjoy!

[AndrewPoulain2007]

what happens if you cancel before it is all finished? that was what happened to me.

[PCWizKid]

If you cancel, nothing happends, you have to start it over again.

[PCWizKid]

Hi, you need to enable 4 workspaces and then you will be able to use the cube, otherwsie if you only have 2 workspaces you wont see it.

[Laoch111]

Hi PCWizKid,

Great video. I upgraded by using the alternative cd. This is available for download from the Ubuntu website. It is great if you have an internet cap and can download it at college and burn onto cd rw, then upgrade at home. Looking forward to more Ubuntu tutorials. Cheers.

[AsoVideos]

cool pcwizkid

[CompHelperKid]

To dual boot...did you use Wubi?

[PCWizKid]

No, I had Ubuntu 7.10 already dual boot, so I just did a straight upgrade.

[CompHelperKid]

Brilliant video

[moecage]

i have ubuntu i always had it

ur password is pcwizkid is't ?

[PCWizKid]

haha, I said my ID only was pcwizkid,I didnt show or say my password :)

[UbuntuLee]

Another nice vid! Too bad 8.04 doesn't suite me. I tried it and water effect on rotate was deathly glitchy along with 3D windows. I don't have that problem in 7.10 though.

[PCWizKid]

Hi, thanks, I'll let you know what issues I find in 8.04 if any.

Cheers
