uTouch on Unity

[hanysalafy]

ubuntu is my bestest oprating system

thank you ubuntu dev

[MetalShreader]

Canonical has great motives when it comes to the future of computing, but this will be a flop if they go off their current code base. Right motives, wrong development.

i love Linux but Ubuntu's move to Unity bothered me at first but after playing with Unity, it has grown on me. and now with uTouch, modding my netbook into a tablet will be so much more rewarding!

[walter0bz]

Does 'globalmenu' work well with the touchscreen, e.g. optimized to respond to downward swipe from screen top

[squirrellinux]

and now a working (and reasonably looking) on screen keyboard, to make my dell duo a usable tablet...

[TheWarRevolutionTime]

What the name of this music??? D:

[flyboy2000008]

Best OS... *.*

[vimmy2492]

wow nice....I would actually love to see tablets running Unity. It would be great.

[TechnoHamster]

Okay one point. If Ubuntu is doing all this work on touch, why do we STILL have to set up screen rotation ourselves? 

[frvfilms]

haa making money off open source?

we do not aprove

[Silentip]

@frvfilms

No, it's way to gain popularity OpenSource

Me from the very beginning it seemed that the Ubuntu Unity is well suited for tablet PCs

[3401893]

I found the german domain of it but no further info but that it is for sale ????

[hismadjesty]

It's all point-and-click stuff now. Notice there was no touch scrolling on that webpage, just a lot of push-button and drag. Only two interactions used multi-touch.

[matecalle]

woo, now I want a Touch netbook

[prepseb]

Will the uTouch Unity replace Gnome in desktop version?

[BernardColosimo]

Io lo adoro Linux!!! 

[MrBeloved88]

uh, no, there's no need to use the CLI to install Flash (not that it's shuch a horrible thing to use a CLI anyway), it's in the Ubuntu Software Center, and has been for a long time. Or install chrome and it's included

[iFargle]

@MrBeloved88 sudo apt-get install restricted-ubuntu-extras solves all our problems.

[ninjaaron]

@iFargle one can now choose to download the restricted extras at installation. It's swell.

[experimental0000]

though if it's like Ubuntu,then you'll still need a keyboard to get flash in order to play videos. though Super OS has it already installed as does Linux Mint. I've also seen a guy buy a touchscreen and use compiz and had it work great

[redzor812]

win but whats the song ? :D

[TheFluxMachine]

Ah, now it makes sense. Just read an article about this being the default in the next release and just did not get why. Looks great for touch.

[CheetoBandito]

Is it an ipad? I don't care...

[paolotruck88]

azz, 1 dollaro e 29 ???

[aoikle]

Ya'll can always go to our official site for more songs... julandrew-dot-com Thanks you guys for using the song. Thanks everybody else for asking about it. Cheers! -Andrew

[sirishgauni]

Hope to see some tablets or handheld multitouch ubuntu computers in 2011! a cheaper alternative. but yea it has to come with a separate Software center with apps that support multitouch to sell!

[sirishgauni]

good going ubuntu! but still a lot more touch improvement needed! maybe by 12.04 we will have a completely multitouch aware and fully scalable ubuntu OS? i like the idea of taking the same ubuntu OS and adding a different multitouch friendly skin to it! not like what M$ is doing (actually they are doing nothing!)

[crysisbestgame]

would buy



[matrezz]

wath the song?

[ilPeach]

@matrezz "Crazy As" by Julandrew

[ilPeach]

pity can't post the link to jamendo.com, and shame the author did not credit her properly in the description! :(

[stephenjudge]

@ilPeach It's possible Canonical bought a commercial license to use the song, in which case they did not have to give credit.

[Sansui350A]

nice toy.. audio quality is shit though.. heh.

[Grusha22]

Song - Julandrew - Crazy As =)

[ttk1opc]

Wait a minute! Did he just interact with a flash application using his fingers? Impossible! This is fake!

[kapcom01]

@ttk1opc just download Ubuntu (its free) and try it for your self. This is not fake. Why you think its impossible to to interact flash with your fingers?

[ttk1opc]

@kapcom01 lol, I know I use ubuntu, I was making fun of the iPad and Steve Jobs.

[ZerqTM]

damn it the ipad can go fuck itself this is so much cooler!

for one thing its not based on a mobile phone os which never works very wel when we scale it up to a desktop kind of resolution.

this is just sweet!

[fanfejao]

does it really does a multi-touch support? or its something like every body posting around that needs a bit more polishing? btw congrats with the meerkat...around here Im booting in around 10 secs...REALLY GREAT WORK AROUND THIS ISSUE that has been said that will work around it. I can only imagine how it should be in one netbook without many services on startup ;)

[elnegrobembon]

cool... i mean, it doesn't look perfect, but it's a good start.

and i'm kinda interested in seeing how they use gnome 3 in a tablet...

[jordler]

ubuntus game line up is awful

[rbh123]

@jordler Other tablets, on the other hand, play Crysis pretty damn well.

[Fennecfox10]

I would rather get this (concerning the os) than an ipad os, I'm guessing the device can't handle it as well though (slow)

[shadowh511]

@Fennecfox10 its slow now, but its waaay faster that it was (it took liek 5 min for one gesture in first public build)

[bwrightau]

The entire window idea doesn't work with a touch screen in my opinion, also the evice looks exceptionally nerdy. Don't get me wrong I am nerd but what advantage does this offer over a laptop?

[commodore256]

OMG, It's a Mac Ad!

[tuxsbro]

So firefox 4 has multi-touch support, will this work with that?

[IvanD56]

What is song? Nice video!

[aarondkeogh]

oh so it's like the ipad

[Synicade]

@aarondkeogh ...except better

[DarkRaztal]

It's the first time I seen this shit.. motherfucker.. this is so bad

[ACPCalin]

How do you type?

[Exdozolie]

Song?

[Graysonisdaman]

@Exdozolie Crazy by Julie Andrews

[aetRene]

finger fail ?! 0:29

[luislinuxero]

@aetRene where? :S

[Linux4UnMe]

it's a pity that Unity is a half finished, buggy piece of dog pile

[supercoolguyT]

Very very cool. I wish i had touch screen :(

[EnavSounds]

nice video.... looks great
