Too Fast ! The Show Stopper - Ubuntu 10.04

[THE16THPHANTOM]

software center in 10.04 sucked there was no way to know where you installed anything and going back to installed software the names were very intimidating...you had to geek your way to the app just to use it, of course it doesn't matter now for me( i eventually geek-ed my to almost everything in Linux) but for new users its frustrating and makes you appreciate Windows.

[Rifalltoo]

F-spot was fast enough for me, and I know I'm running on lesser specs. Janitor does suck (i use bleach bit).

Nice review.

[chronofusion]

Format Factory. open source..free to use, download, etc..on all operating systems. There ya go

[AndreiCristianPetcu]

I see you don't like Ubuntu. That's ok I guess you can ask for your money back and you can install some better software like windows. Now that's a pice of software..... Windows 7 with the latest IE that all web designers love is the best choice for you.And you cand buy yourself some comunist smartphone to go along with your PC like iPhone ...."the best phone in the world".don't try Android, my friend, it sucks and you wouldn.t like it.

[aikiwolfie]

Who gives a rats ass what grub looks like? It's there for a few seconds and gets replaced with the Ubuntu splash. F-spot just sucks. End of story. Use gthumb. It does the job and takes up less space.

Considering a lot of Linux users seem to use Gimp which has become established as a core application for virtually all general purpose desktop distros? Removing it was stupid.

[ColombianSoldier1003]

there are themes for GRUB look it up

[Datron101]

lol, your humor is rather enlightening to me. keep it up and you might get a show on comedy central.

[0nlinePredator]

can ubuntu be used for htpc system?

[Datron101]

@0nlinePredator yes. with the right hardware and software choices id imagine...

[scott93257]

I have Ubuntu 10.04 dual booted on all of my machines....runs really well... very stable and quick...

[TheAkatushar]

dont say GRUB screen CR@P, thats rock solid and everyone like that if you want graphic $hit go use micr0$0ft n000bbb

[TheAkatushar]

dont say GRUB screen CR@P,

[jackclark1981]

Before Plymouth and gdm 2, you use to be able to customize everything including the boot.

There is still many themes at gnome.org. Use kb3, it is free and great burning program. And the janitor....lol yeah our right. i miss the add remove. I started to use it on 7.04.

[Jazzmanpac]

This OS comes free and there is one sick thing about it - its people who just complain all the time - word for you guys: NOBODY FORCED YOU TO INSTALL IT - IT WAS YOUR OWN CHOICE SO SHUT THE HELL UP AND STOP COMPLAINING YOU MORONS...

[glparton]

k3b is best burning software imo

[jonnat07]

whuts ubunut about?

[warcraftpeon]

grub should be replaced in the next 2 versions--burg is now out. burg is a graphical grub. its still beta now, but bugs are getting squashed daily. try out burg u might like it. brasero is there for gnome sake--k3b is MUCH better. i've no problem installing commercial software, but nero is just bloated on windows(last good version was 6/7) and i cant see paying for something when k3b is sooo good. ubuntu now has bug fixes and is version 10.4.1 it is sleek and fast.

[ajcurran94]

How did you get the show mouse?? I can't get mine to work.

[TheHippyNerd]

To make you tube work. Down load Flash player.

[zer0statusYT]

so will fl studio and stuff work on here. and can i like uninstall windows 7? i got 32 bit is that the best one

[drek507]

When i first boot up this ubuntu version .. i thought shittt less than a second!!! ? it should be a bug or something.

[j800r]

why direct a person to a paid app when they can just use k3b which is practically Flawless.

[xtcongo]

Pronounced Leenux not Lie nux

[eggybutty234]

@xtcongo It is? o_O I called it Linnucks (pronounced like the I in Yin) and sometimes Lie-nucks. Never pronounced it Leenucks before. Doesn't look like a Leenucks to me.

[samuelfur]

How you get flames on the mouse?

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

great review bro.

[ploopisy]

how did you get the multiple screens at 2:20?

[kurrator]

2009 was the last year of MS Windows on my PCs.

This Ubuntu ROCKS!

[joaohenriques32353]

Who cares about grub looks? Specially coming from a guy that has a pink homo effect on the cursor. Useless review.

[CARSandBIKES9]

good video u slut

[felix26591alberto]

Instead of Nero Linux, try Gnomebaker or K3B. They work great I like K3B but I prefer gnomebaker because it's gtk stable. Ubuntu Tweak for eliminating packages. Try Shotwell to replace F-spot.

[MrCryptica82]

thats funny, I could watch youtube videos right off of the bat when I installed it on my machine, alot of other things worked right away, it detected my Radeon 3870 Card and Audigy X-Fi sound card and installed the drivers for them, didnt have a single hitch with it which is a hell of alot more than I can say for Windows, having to install a bunch of shit after waiting forever for it to install, fuck Windows bloated crap.

[xonic244]

thats a very pretty mouse trail.

[dannyerisse]

Why is he talking about applications and not the OS?

[xtyler92]

LOL.... Ubuntu is great, my favorite Linux version. 10.04 is actually very amazing. You sounds like a Windows person.... Also why tell people to wait after the official release? Updates will take care of any so called bugs after it is installed.

Maybe you should just get a mac.... since it sounds almost like ubuntu is a little too much for you.

[PopeSweetJezus]

Ubuntu is best :D

[SonyFoLife]

how do you get the flame effects?

[bikutorusan]

lmao, "bazaario" != "brasero". Good one though ^^

[aliancemd]

Brasero sux? Lol! I never had problems with it + 1 time I wasn't able to burn with Nero and booted into Linux just to burn it and it worked just great!

[prestono99]

Great video! How did you get the file menu for your open windows on the main panel like that?

[abaqueiro]

speek less, show more, you only speak and speak, boring

[bikutorusan]

@abaqueiro Tell me about it.

[justinc18]

What are your computer specs?

[justinc18]

What are your computer specs?

[J0RDSKI]

This will be nice on a duel boot with windows 7.

[jortecus1]

don't use kubuntu, if you like KDE try Mandriva or OpenSuse with KDE, buth not Kubuntu

[1919k]

Thanks. I installed it 2 days ago and am very pleased with it. The only problem I've had is burning audio discs with brasiero. Which I think I've sorted, I just tick burn directly to disc rather than burn to image file then burn to disc.

[Sciesch]

Didn't like brasero, but lately it worked quite satisfiable for me while burning images and audio disks.

f-spot indeed is a quite crappy fotomanager. If I compare it to Irfanview it sucks in every aspect. And it misses some (for me) very basic options like cropping a picture .

So I rarely use it.

Never used the janitor either.

[nvanadium]

I am very impressed with 10.04 so far. I'm still waiting to fully install though because for some reason it doesn't register my laptop monitor on my Gateway and it won't allow me to use special effect. I'm hoping that its a bug that will get fixed soon. On my Thinkpad T60 it runs flawless.

[gje313]

@gotbletu

I tried Brasero too and found it lacking. However, I tried out K3b and found it worked well, and its free and open-source. I've seen Nero for Linux, but since K3b is for free and does a good job I can't make myself buy something like that. Also, I have a old PC with dual boot of Linux Mint and Windows 2000 Pro, and I have Nero 6 on the W2K (it came with the aftermarket burner I bought) It's good but not perfect.

[jmsmistral]

man, get rid of that pointer particle system!! hehe... I don't know why people mention "they got rid of the gimp in favour of f-spot" - they are two different things, namely, gimp being an advanced image editor (like photoshop) and f-spot being a photo manager.. they have little to do with each other.

[Thescarce]

lucid its too buggy l'll stick with karmic .

[jrbusuttil]

the thing I hate the most about Ubuntu is that there is a lot of setup to do when you first install it. For example, youtube doesn't work and neither does quicktime trailer movies. I have been using PCLinuxOS 2010 and everything works right out of the box. I don't need to install anything. I with Ubuntu would do this.

[gotbletu]

@jrbusuttil thats why is called 'open source' not proprietary source

[dannyerisse]

@gotbletu Regardless, it still is pretty lame they don't install Flash or Java by default. Flash (whether we want to admit it or not) is a necessity for 99.999% of a typical user.

[Rokalacs]

@jrbusuttil Then try Linux Mint it'll do what you wants. By the way, on most OS/distribution there's no pre-installed java, flash, etc (to watch youtube videos, etc).

[irathon]

@jrbusuttil try Linux mint no setup required. it's basically Ubuntu 10.04 with some of the work done for you plus the menu is awesome.

PCLinuxOS is fine though

[tomtyi]

@jrbusuttil

read the Ubuntu promise on the cover of the official cd: "Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications." 'cos of the software patents. the flash, quicktime codec and the others are not free.

[CARSandBIKES9]

@jrbusuttil if youre looking for a version based of ubuntu, try mint comes with codecs and crap by default.

[jortecus1]

@jrbusuttil if ubuntu do that, for example Adobe could demand Canonical because Canonical would have to buy a license and with that Ubuntu couldn't be free

[Rifalltoo]

@jrbusuttil They are working on that. You can choose to have the necessary codecs installed during install. Makes my experience better. Besides, flash never comes ready to use on any computer.

[jimmykudo1]

@jrbusuttil make your life easier, you can install ubuntu in windows and create a dual boot.

[TheAmefist]

These videos are cool, but to me you are spouting a bunch of gibberish lol (I'm stupid).

[stmpoodle]

Did you like Ubuntu better than the new Kubuntu? I have them both on live USB's and trying to choose between the 2.

[gotbletu]

@stmpoodle think ill wait until KDE 4.5 to try it again, mainly had alot of minor bugs since they introduce alot of new features, so it would probably be stable once 4.5 hits

[nvanadium]

@gotbletu Sup dude! For whatever reason 10.04 won't register my Gateway 7330gz's monitor plus it won't allow special effects anymore when 9.10 did. ANy clue as to why or of any work around?

PS - Skynet is always watching...

[J0RDSKI]

@stmpoodle I think ubuntu is better and slightly more polished, mainly because it has more developers but it's personal preference.

[DSCP46]

HAHA I love the commentary!!

[xleo21]

lol the bit with the apps that should be removed cracked me up

"and this janitor crap , i dont know why they keep it here , this thing is useless"

[starcubeuk]

Why do you want a pretty grub? Linux is the only OS which has a bootloader which supports multiple OS's. It's a utility with functionality & doesn't need a pretty design. If you install only Ubuntu then it doesn't show GRUB so newbs won't see it. - Brasero is the easiest solution!

[OwNaGeOfDaLiAm]

haha "The GRUB screen looks like a piece of shit" couldn't agree more!

[funkydeu]

you sound like Ronnie Coleman... light weight bebeey!

[swift240]

Brasero on my PC works well with no problems Ubuntu 10.04LTS it may be a piece of shit to you, but not to others, perhaps its your PC thats a piece of shit?

[gotbletu]

@swift240 lols nice try, is that ur answer? my pc is trash? what a knob. I used 4 version of Brasero starting from 8.04LTS, on 2 machines. The fail rate is too high, burning at 4x speeds. Put nero linux on same machines, works like a champ. Why would i care about other ppls experience, this is talking about my experience.

[hectixx]

@gotbletu I second that. Brasero is terrible on my machine too. Like, as bad a pulseaudio.

[AlexAJG094]

@gotbletu ha ha you are not the only one who has problems with brasero man

[linuxpowerification]

@gotbletu

why dont you use K3b?

[linuxpowerification]

@gotbletu

your maybe not a piece of shit but you should switch your dvd drive.

[Rypervenche]

@gotbletu swift240 is right. Brasero works just fine. This video was a complete waste of time. Everything that you said was bad works just fine.

[gjacobson76]

@swift240 K3B is the burning package I use on linux!

[Nothingofdays]

Brasero is great IMHO, great user interface, and never had a problem with..

I agree about Fspot: i still look for something like picasa or iphoto that is FOSS.. only DigiKam comes closer, but can't stand the KDE-like UI.. let's hope that Shotwell/Solang will improve.

Computer janitor must die..

[robbymaumau]

Brasero is awesome, I've never had a problem with it.

They should put Picasa as default rather that F-Spot tho.

[chaukar]

I hate the wanna be mac GUI

[ttk1opc]

Do you really care about what the boot loader looks like? The thing you see for a second?

[gotbletu]

@ttk1opc so does that mean they should not do the splash screen and login either? u not gonna look at it anyways

[Divjot04]

@gotbletu i too hate that grub thing , its not for us to see!

[InsaneTux]

i'm like a noob at linux so how u make it yours have the top tool bar like mac?

[ttk1opc]

@InsaneTux Its called global menu applet just google that.

[Raizdecimal]

I like the grub screen... it looks profissional

[MrCoolAwesomeGuy]

What was it that you used to switch virtual desktops?

Desktop Wall?

Or what?

Thanks.

[MrCoolAwesomeGuy]

I got it, I had to change some options in Expo.

[1339wla]

why is your network indicator an "up and down arrow" ??

[amb1402]

Brassero never failed me down not even once .maybe u have a problem with your Dvdrewriter .

[Nanotech233]

Dual boot it did not give me any problems. I did it on Thursday. It worked for me.

[Nanotech233]

Gotbletu, I know what you mean about brasero, but I noticed that if you burn the cd at 8X rather than 16X it would solve your problem. That is if you are taking about the image.iso thing.

[gotbletu]

@Nanotech233 my DVDs only at 4x

[RAZcracK]

Ubuntu 10.04 it's out already ... Wow i was waiting for that ... Downloading right away ...

Anyways as for Gimp i have to say that's my favorite photo editor after Photoshop and i use it even under windows ... Gimp is fair and awesome for linux ... Brassero sucks a little bit cause of limited options but k3b instead it awesome ...

Nero is ok but you have to pay for it and i live in an OPEN SOURCE WORLD so i won't suggest it ...

Peace out people ...

Linux is FREEDOM !!!

[JerichoKru]

If you don't like grub, use burg. It's grub2 with easy theming and a few other extra options.

[olegte]

how did you get global menu?

[nvanadium]

I swore that this Ubuntu experience wouldn't be as bad as my first on my Gateway 7330gz. I told myself that the bugs it had before would be fixed & this should be smooth sailing. I pop in the CD, turn it on....and then I get a beautiful black screen upon booting. Awesome. Thank you Ubuntu. You have reinforced my decision on sticking with Linux Mint.

[applegekko]

Globel-Menu again?

[guicapone2]

i hope they made it a bit more easier to use.. like..one click mount install...

[naesans]

Brassero works 30% of the time?? What are you on?

[reinismix0lost]

xscene - i use it a lot for scaning pages and stuff, so how the f*** i can scan something without xscene, because i havent find any app for scan documents in Linux...

And gimp.... Its like deleting PS from PC - well thats stupid. U can argue that GIMP suck, but only if u dont know how to use it!

[bhigr]

I don't know why you dislike F-Spot so much. I think it is reasonably fast. The GUI is nice and clean. It now includes the most common tools for simple photo editing like crop, red eye,.... I added a couple of extension. So now it really meets my simple needs for photo editing and replaces Gimp. IMHO a good decision because Gimp is no good for newbies.

[maroon5rule]

I always use Brasero to burn my Ubuntu images :D I hope that's not bad lol

[bhigr]

I agree that the janitor is useless in particular for newbies. Usually it just deinstalls packages you downloaded and installed manually.

I haven't worked a lot with brasero but it worked for me. I do like the GUI because it is plain and simple.

You didn't comment on how they integrated empathy, gwibber and evolution as well as the memenu and notifications. I think it is awesome.

Oh, check out rhythmbox and the ubuntu-one-store for music. Works well.

[america0014]

Woo Ipod Touch and Iphone support finally! Ubuntu or I should say Linux is coming closer to be a primary household OS. It'll be nice to one day go to a Bestbuy and see all the new computers with Ubuntu installed on them :) That'll be the day when we can have flawless gaming...without wine or virtualbox :) We're one step closer guys :)

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

Awesome video, mate. Good job

[MrVeeBlog]

I was wondering when you would get around to installing this so I could get your commentary on it. I've run it since alpha and it's not bad to me. I do get this one boot error that bugs me now. "The disk drive for /media/sda1 is not ready. Press S to skip or M for manual recovery." I usually skip and it's ok. Would like to fix that though. Anyway gotbletu, good to see you on Lucid Lynx finally.

[maw88ify]

The Janitor remove a package or something and caused me to have an error...

so I never used it again... You're right it's crap

I hope that they start including OpenShot Video editor, and SongBird I really enjoy them.

Do you know of any other programs like that for Ubuntu that are not included in the repositories ?

[JerichoKru]

@maw88ify Songbird was discontinued for linux.

[maw88ify]

@JerichoKru they still make it, and you can still download new versions from the songbird web site... I looks way better than any music player in Ubuntu...

[TheArnabDas]

k3b is one burner which has always given me 100% results. great app. available in the ubuntu software center. free and open source. why use nero?

nice review. u cud have mentioned the new awn though.

[zikalify]

how u put file etc in the bar at the top... isnt tht coming to 10.10 default?

[maw88ify]

The truth is I didn't think empathy had file transfer , but it does it's just hidden...

Say you have a fold on your desktop you just right click and select 'SEND TO' I really don' like doing it that way, but it's the only way I found...

[gotbletu]

@maw88ify ppl try to send to me, which they cant, cuz it dont got anything

[TheLifeRuiner]

I love 10.04.

[alexandr1us]

i agree about brasero

[OSGUIShow]

cool video review mate

i agree with ya on everything ;-) good points

[RPCJerkobi]

If people don't mind having a couple of qt4 libraries, I recommend k3b. Much better than Brasero.

[RonnieInOC]

Would you recommend this new Ubuntu over using Mint?

[Raja221]

i like teh new ubuntu\. but this shutdown/restart bug is piissing me off in 10.04. that is teh reason i was always a linux mint user. linux mint fixes ubuntu bugs and releases a better ubuntu version.

bug 1) when you shutdown / restart doesnt do anything but log out of the account to the login screen.

bug 2) sound sometimes doesnt load upon bootup. something wrong with pulseaudio or ubuntu just didnt integrate it correctly

3) JAVA is now openJDK and it sucks. unless you get their parter repo.

[ChaosTheory5789]

It kinda bugs me that the window title bar doesn't have the application icon. I found putting menu:minimize,maximize,close fills in that gap sort of that is currently left when moving the buttons, but I wish I could find a fix that could bring back the application icon.

Also can you remove/replace applications from the notifications envelope thing? like replace the defaults they have with pidgin, pino, thunderbird...I couldn't really find any help on that.

[dmplace]

fucking brasero! Never works for me

[Keruaran]

Nero? What the hell man? Just use K3b!

[eqspec76]

@Keruaran Yep K3b is the shit, but Brasereo is not bad either. It'll work as fast as your burner will support.

[andresql]

@Keruaran yes K3b is good

[gotbletu]

@Keruaran lols yea i would use it, but it looks ugly, so i pass on it

[slsolaris]

@Keruaran what is the problem with brasero??? it is good, it does the job and I like it...

[Keruaran]

@slsolaris I didn't say anything about Brasero... gotbletu already said he didn't like Brasero and K3b rocks.

[ManoKiaule]

Hey. How did you make your workspaces be arranged in a square rather than in a line???

[vaasnaad]

I was going to hop on and look for a review today and here it is! What info do you have on the dual boot problem? And have you heard how the Xubuntu variant does on... er... shitty old hardware? Karmic seems a little poky on my old laptop.

[joejc07]

imo brasero isnt that bad for for when it is i just install k3b.

and if your going to wait 2 weeks for ubuntu why not just wait 4 weeks for mint?

[diotecktec2]

Xinerama doesn't work for 10.04, due to an xorg regression... I have 3 monitors, so this makes Ubuntu unusable for me. Basically, back to Windows until someone fixes that xorg regression.

[Charles2337]

Hey man, how did you move the window buttons to the right hand side? I really want to change it.

[sw2de3fr4gt]

@Charles2337 Just install Emerald if you have compiz already. Emerald is way more flexible than Metacity(the current one).

[adjohnson916]

@Charles2337 The easiest way to to get a .deb installer for a program called Ubuntu Tweak (just Google it), then open the program and go into "Window Manager Settings".

[gotbletu]

@Charles2337 gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button­_layout" --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"

[Charles2337]

@gotbletu

Ooh I found it on Ubuntu tweak but thanks man =)

[samsungnc10rules]

@gotbletu how do you get it back to normal?

[Raja221]

@Charles2337 or you can use ubuntu tweak. get ubuntu tweak and it lets you set it anywhere.

[Charles2337]

I installed it last night. It's sexy ;D

[codecub]

sweet
