I have faced many problems with Linux.Windows 7 is 200% better than this thing

[captainclayman]

well, you get what you pay for i suppose

a lot of people are in love with linux though

i love os x, windows, and linux, but i don't use linux a whole lot. it's like that friend i never hang out with but i wish i did.

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 right now and all I want to know is: will flash videos work properly in Ubuntu 9.10? (I doubt it but am always hopeful)

[Joh739]

Kinda depends on your architecture, 32 bit is supported normally but 64 bit is still in Alpha(Ahead of Windows versions). I am using the alpha version of Flash and the only thing that seems not working is webcam support, but the rest works and for an alpha really stable.

[artifactingreality]

I'm on 64bit.

Let me clarify what I meant; flash works great but I have frequent problems with screen tearing/lack of V Sync

It's easy enough to ignore most of the time but sometimes it is an obvious problem; one which you don't get in Windows.

[LordDestros]

Chances are in Windows your running a 32 bit browser with a 32 bit build of Flash though (despite possibly running a 64 bit release). That said, Flash can still be annoying in Windows though XD.

[nieknooijens]

you have also plugins like icedtea which support flash in 64 bit mode

[uvmedraco]

they work better if you mean youtube vids, you can put them in full screen without lag and ive tryed on lots of sites so rly its way better, i had to install mine from the oackage manager tho the non-free one

[artifactingreality]

sounds good.

might do a fresh ubuntu 10 install. I got a bit synaptic happy with this one so there's junk all over the place, not that it matters, but it's nice to start from scratch. If I back up the /home and /etc directories will that give me all my settings? I assume I can copy the /home directory straight over the top of the new one? For /etc I suppose it will be better to only pick out the files to restore as and when I need them.

[a1mint]

What I do is I always assign a separate partition to /home. That way, I can reboot with different version Ubuntu's, yet always get the same /home dir.

Eg. 400 GB harddrive:

- 40GB /

- 40GB left free for other OS (another, or the next Ubuntu version)

- 4GB swap

- remainder /home

Only the first two are ever re-installed on. /home remains.

This really works.

[artifactingreality]

Yeah that's what I've done this time. I formatted my 9.04 ext3 partition so I could replace it with separate ext4 partitions for /home and /

I gave them about 200GB each. I don't need a swap partition - 8GB of RAM FTW

[a1mint]

Is there any proof that ext4 is better than ext3? Ext3 is proven. It reminds me of people pushing Reiser, while in fact, it caused a ton of data loss throughout the world - including me...

200GB each? The Linux partition doesn't need anywhere nearly that much. It's your /home partition that needs space and gets reused across different installations.

[artifactingreality]

I don't know how proven ext4 is... It'll be a good excuse to get me doing regular backups though, just in case. In my experience 9.10 doesn't boot up any faster than 9.04 did, some people suggested that it would (because of ext4)

I didn't really know how much space I'd need for apps etc so I made the partitions even. I probably won't fill either of them, the bulk of my media is stored on a 4TB RAID10 array in a different PC.

[scorpion138]

You need to install the right plugin.

In the repository select the adobe flashplayer plugin.

The opensource one is to buggy.

[artifactingreality]

thats the one i have. it doesnt vsync

[scorpion138]

The vsync problem looks related to a video driver problem, can you play other movies like mpeg,avi?

Is the video driver properly installed?

[ikemkrueger]

The new notification system is pretty much useless. Change volume? Forget it.. Jump to the messenger window were you talk with your buddy? Forget it too! Such a crap. <.<

[Joh739]

Useless? Huh... I don't have problems with the new system, in fact they have just gone away sooo... where you're talking about?

[ikemkrueger]

On Youtube. Hope it helped.

[Se7enTips]

can't wait for OCT, Win7 and 9.10 dual booting

[Gjoellee]

STOP saying that this is 9.04. It is Ubuntu 9.10  Alpha. The first 9.10 Alpha version arrived May 14th. See the release schedule!

[leodamascus]

This video was released in March, two months before the first 9.10 Alpha was released.

[alexeirayu]

Man your video recording lags!

[yoda2031]

Yup, this is in 9.04. Which is already out. Came out 29/4/09. They really lucked out how the version numbers always seem to match the month and year they came out, huh? :P

[rofthorax]

No that's the deal.. That's the logic in the version numbers.

[yoda2031]

@rofthorax ya think? :P

[PhilTheDipper]

Pidgin ftw Ich mag das neue 9.04 Jaunty Jacklope

[A7llaman]

[vampspell]

no 9.10 ! you mean Ubuntu 9.04. but cool video :)

[Frap357]

I think you mean Ubuntu 9.04.

Ubuntu 9.10 will arrive in 6 months, in October.

[jeroeniskoning]

Nice !

And yes, stable as hell =D

[PowerMacUser]

is this stable at all? or is it a bugfest?

lol

[wolih]

lol bugfest haha

don't expect an alpha version to be bug-clear
