@carlosinfl What do you use to edit the video? I am a video editor who loves Linux and isn't an Apple fan but is forced to use OS X because of Final Cut. I wish I could find a great Linux alternative.
@AlanJames1987 I use Kdenlive to edit all my videos. I've put out several video tutorials on getting started with it, if you'd care to check those out (playlist available on my channel)
Imo...There really isn't a good video editor for linux yet. But when you MUST use linux I can recommend only two:
Kdenlive and Openshot. Both of them have horrible problems but are more than adequate for simple cutting and pasting. I personally prefer Kdenlive. It's one of the applications which brings me back to KDE whenever I return to Gnome for its polish.
@DaRealFasih I've used Kdenlive exclusively for over a year now. I do a decent amount with it (though I wouldn't call myself a professional) -- using transitions, compositing, cutting/pasting, like you said, and fixing some minor problems with video (audio levels, brightness, color balance).
There are definitely some issues with it, but I've compared it to Windows apps like Adobe Premiere Elements and Sony Vegas, and for me, Kdenlive is easier to use and can do the same things.
Well I haven't used Kdenlive for a while now. Last time I remember it crashing on me quite often. But that was more than a year ago. Now that KDE is much better too, I should try Kdenlive again. (another excuse to install the new Pardus) I also felt a bit sluggish for me. Then again I find it much easier to use than PiTiVi for instance.
Of course, featurewise I don't think it's up there with the likes of Final Cut or Avid. But at least the interface is much better than Avid.
@DaRealFasih with version 0.7.8, a lot of the "crashiness" went away. I've had a few quirky issues with it, but nothing major, and I don't think it's crashed on me at all.
You know, I don't think I've ever actually used Final Cut or Avid. I've tried iMovie, but that's not something to compare to really.
i saw a video of the eeenote and it looks great, it would be a real substitute for paper and pen. Great for classrooms (which i think is the objective). Is cheaper too
Is different from the ipad, because the ipad is for entertainment
Hm, a really userfriendly rr-distro would be great, right now I'm using Fedora and while I like it, it really anoys me that I have to update it again this month and in 6 months again, having to make everything so that it works the same etc. :/
Have you ever done any speed tests on KDE & Gnome both running on the same Arch hardware? I'm a Arch Gnome user but never tried KDE on Arch. Not sure if it runs slower or about the same...
@experimental0000 thanks. decided it was time to get something Arch specific, since every news video someone jumps in with "why are you running Windows on that desktop in the background?" :P
Nice update. I played with a tab for hours and still couldn't justify the $600. The cheapest Sprint plan I could get with it was $40 a month and, as you mentioned, a 2 year contract. No thanks for me too. E note looks like the $100 nook. Thanks again, good update
Jordan What I would like to see is Canonical, Mozilla, System 76, The Linux Emporium and The company who bought Novel, pull all their finance together and place Linux related stuff in all those Empty Circuit City stores across the U,S.A. Then people would have a place to shop for Linux Related Merchandise. The new store could be named The Canonical Stores. On another note There's a Disto name Chakra that's based on Arch you may want to review since your tired of all these Ubuntu based Distos.
@Freespire44 nice idea actually, though I'd love to see that in more places thn just Circuit City, such as Staples, OfficeMax, Frys. (omitting BestBuy since they train their employees to be windows fanboys and push windows and I doubt they'd sell any Linux system were it in the store.
Do you think there will ever be a programs folder where all the programs software are all in one place and labeled so to easy to understand what it is, like in windows?
@thisweekinlinux It's to bad this is the one (more or less) thing I truly despise about Linux and yet I still don't get why know why no one has done anything about this Windows has about 95% of the market yet no one has took what what is good from windows and that is user friendliness. I won't give up on Linux but I just don't get this.
no, i can't see ever spending that kind of money on a tablet. More so if it ties me to a cell company. What good would the tablet be if you changed providers at some point in the future?
@LMWGuy I actually use Kdenlive in Gnome. Openshot is a great editor, but it doesn't have audio thumbnails / waveforms, so I can't tell when there's silence to cut out.
As fine as always, your vids are maybe the most informing on a Linux-Channel on Youtube.
KDE: i was always interested, but never stood to it and used Gnome, because KDE was always a sluggy bug-monster. Has this changed ? If so i will try it again.
SUSE: the heydays of this distro are gone i think, Ubuntu and others are now much more popular. But its a new beginning for SUSE, maybe they got ground back then.
GALAXY: in my country here in Europe its cheaper than in the US, so christmas comes...
@xyzoneon cool. I used to pronounce it "nome", but decided to switch after hearing people from the project say it with the hard G. say it how you like.
@mazzacanemedia that's a very good point, though the ones that are subsidized should be supported at least a couple of years from now (though they may have newer models then)
i never bothered with arch because i see absolutely no reason for it at all. deb and rpm are both the most used and they can "assemble" your desktop from scratch like arch does. other than newer packages, i'm just not sure why i'd use arch over basic fedora or debian. the reason i use debian over any rpm based distro is because i find rpm to be unreliable and has less features.
@schmidtbag for me, it's a matter of getting exactly what you want, and mostly plain vanilla packages, and generally if there's a .deb or .rpm available, there's a way to get it running on Arch (if it hasn't already been done in the AUR).
Not trying to convince you or anything, just throwing out there why I like it, and why it works well for me.
@windowspczone just a bit of "flavor". I used to call it the "doobly-doo", which was a term coined by @WheezyWaiter (awesome youtuber, if you haven't seen him), but it was just time to come up with my own thing.
@thisweekinlinux Thanks for your answer right away. Hope to be friends someday, great videos! Hope you can also make a video for Banshee, thats all. Thanks for the videos!
@moviesweekly thanks! I'll probably have to make a video about Banshee sometime before April, because it's going to be a new default for Ubuntu (I think that's what I remember)
@thisweekinlinux Cool. Thanks I didn't know about the default idea... Just I love Ubuntu and I don't care for Rhythmbox at all, the art and the environment in Banshee is amazing, maybe even closer to the iTunes look-a-like. Thanks alot!
Speaking of running Arch, I tried, but I could not get my ethernet working. I am a big fail.
I not sure if it is true, but I think the netinstall version configures your ethernet for you. Downside is that my ethernet is slow, dl speed is like 20bytes/s.
@thisweekinlinux well, thats my problem. There is a command that will list all the devices (lspci i think?), and I needed to find something for the ethernet. However, when I pressed enter, it gave me a looong list of stuff. The ethernet part that i was looking for was just off the screen, so I could not see it.
It is a dell inspiron 1520, I cannot seem to find the ethernet chipset specs...
I will try the netinstall version, see if that does much.
@maceira89 I've noticed that with the distro formerly known as "Manhattan OS", just never took the time to do it. I might have to after using KDE for a little while.
@FrozenPixelStudio my day job. :P I'm a website designer, using C#/ASP.NET (not my preference, but it pays the bills). And the book was free from O'Reilly through my LUG.
I think a grayscale tablet is fine, it just doesnot make sense with a webcam I mean, WTF for the grayscale device with a webcam... i thought human eye can see colors!
Wait so by dolphin columns, do you mean it displays files/folders the same way ls does: with multi-column arrangement (ie alphabetical, etc) being vertical, rather than horizontal? I've been wanting that in thunar forever. Zig-zagging across the screen when trying to find files is a royal pain.
I am sure the Novel patents being sold (if they really aren't Unix-related, that is) are all .net related. If that's the case it's a really bad news for mono. As a primary C# developer I am a little bit ... well sh**ting my pants now. :(
@thisweekinlinux I didn't really follow the events but if I understand correctly Oracle vs. Google case is a similar situation Novell might have with MS if they really acquired patents related to mono. In both cases the "defendant" has the specifications of the languages, but no actual patents to back up the creation of a compiler for the language. MS _promised_ they wouldn't sue over c# and .net, but I wouldn't like the sword of Damocles over me when coding...
@TheLinuxsensei :D Well, that was just my opinion... nothing official :P BTW, Rolling release isn't without its own problems. Everything considered, I choose rolling release with Arch Linux. I always keep meaning to give PCLinuxOS a serious go but Arch does everything I want right now.
Samsung have priced them self out of the market £460+ in the UK that is higher than the Ipad (£429). With more and more 10" tablets coming on to the Market even basic models at £149 I can not see how they command the 460+ price tag.
Hey, what software are you using to edit your videos?
Because I don't think there are any non-linear Linux video editors to match Adobe Premiere or Final Cut. Of course, there is Cinelerra, with has ugly interface and crashes all the time and there are few basic editors like Kdenlive, Openshot, PiTiVi...
@silkuze Kdenlive is really a lot more powerful than some people give it credit for. The interface is also not terribly complicated, so you get the best of both worlds. With the latest version (0.7.8) I haven't experienced any crashes, either. I made a tutorial series on getting started with Kdenlive if you're interested in learning more about what it can do.
@anonix27 I think you'd be surprised... Wasn't there a news story recently about a 12 year old who got paid by Mozilla for discovering a security hole or bug or something.
@librano exactly. Younger and younger people are definitely getting into it. when I was in high school we had 2 computer courses... "Intro to MS Word" and "Intro to the Internet". That was over 10 years ago though.
no, not my favourite company.. :( first sun, then Novell.. at least novell wasn't bought by the unholy Oracle.
by the way this rolling release craze has got to stop. on OS X, FreeBSD, or Slackware, i can have the almost all of the latest software and update (g)libc or the kernel only once in a year. the more distros go the rolling way, the more programs are going to require constant updates of the core OS itself, which yields more potential breakage.
@imTKA it's not an Arch DE, it's Arch's version of whichever DE. In this case, my desktop is running Arch's implementation of Gnome, and my laptop has Arch's implementation of KDE.
@codebean mostly kwin-related things. Maximizing/minimizing windows, alt+tabbing, and the kickoff menu just feels slow (going into submenus especially). It's not as bad on KDE on Arch, but it's still kinda there.
I would pay $300 for a Samsung Galaxy wifi only tablet. I have wireless tethering w/ my Nexus One so I could take a wifi only Galaxy tablet anywhere I would find to be convenient. Samsung is just using the carriers to push there product for them to eager consumers. A short term win for them.
@snowman4839 I pronounced it wrong for a very long time, and now every video I mention it, someone says "you're saying it wrong!" :P I just point them to videos of Stormy Peters and Mark Shuttleworth saying it that way, and move on.
@snowman4839 If they wanted people to promounce it correctly they should have writen it differently, because no grammar rule says it should be pronounced "Guh nome".
@MaghoxFr Well that's just how it's pronounced dude. You don't pronounce tomb like toombuh, or depot like deepaht. or sign like sie-gehn. I said it wrong for a really long time but that's just how you say it.
@snowman4839 What you're saying makes no sense at all. The fact is they chose an acronynm that forms a preexistent word. That word is "gnome" and has a meaning and a way of being pronounced (which is noʊm). If the guys at the Gnome project wants their name to be pronounced in a different way that's fine but I think it's sensible to stop the puritan crap about pronouncing it the way they want to because it's not wrong to say "nome". It's childish crap to get mad at that. I'm glad unity comes
@Dreadfultime it follows the release cycle of Gnome. Not sure of the benefits (other than trying to ensure a "stable" release, rather than possibly unstable daily updates)
@thisweekinlinux I've seen a number of people with iPads here. They always look so awkward, cradling that huge thing.
The Kno looks like an interesting thing, but I can't seem to find anything about it's OS or compatibility. I'm liking the dual screen tablet thing, like MS's Courier from a couple of years ago.
@PaulRayIsMe see, if it's for portability, 7" is great. if it's for not having a keyboard but still having a good media experience, 10" would be better. 7" just felt lilke a REALLY big phone to me.
I would like the Mozilla app store if it worked with the Sync function in Firefox 4. Not sure how exactly that would work but if buying an app means I can use it across different systems and devices then I'm in.
@TheKaycen that would be pretty cool. You have X apps, they show up across all browsers (though if they're all websites, that's just like syncing bookmarks...)

@DAudIcI hm, that's definitely a concern, but I thought MS provided the C# spec to the mono devs, so mono is cool with them. (perhaps I read wrong?)
thisweekinlinux 1 year ago
@thisweekinlinux I didn't really follow the events but if I understand correctly Oracle vs. Google case is a similar situation Novell might have with MS if they really acquired patents related to mono. In both cases the "defendant" has the specifications of the languages, but no actual patents to back up the creation of a compiler for the language. MS _promised_ they wouldn't sue over c# and .net, but I wouldn't like the sword of Damocles over me when coding...

Here in Europe the galaxy tab price is well in the 700euro, or converted more then 930$. If it was 250-300euro i'd consider buying one

@TheLinuxsensei :D Well, that was just my opinion... nothing official :P BTW, Rolling release isn't without its own problems. Everything considered, I choose rolling release with Arch Linux. I always keep meaning to give PCLinuxOS a serious go but Arch does everything I want right now.

IMO almost all tablets are overpriced for what is basically netbook level hardware with a touchscreen.
librano 1 year ago
@librano a bit, yeah... :/
thisweekinlinux 1 year ago
Samsung have priced them self out of the market £460+ in the UK that is higher than the Ipad (£429). With more and more 10" tablets coming on to the Market even basic models at £149 I can not see how they command the 460+ price tag.

@rogermsw agreed there. The hardware specs are nice, but I don't see them being worth THAT much

Hey, what software are you using to edit your videos?
Because I don't think there are any non-linear Linux video editors to match Adobe Premiere or Final Cut. Of course, there is Cinelerra, with has ugly interface and crashes all the time and there are few basic editors like Kdenlive, Openshot, PiTiVi...
silkuze 1 year ago
@silkuze He uses Kdenlive.
librano 1 year ago
@silkuze Kdenlive is really a lot more powerful than some people give it credit for. The interface is also not terribly complicated, so you get the best of both worlds. With the latest version (0.7.8) I haven't experienced any crashes, either. I made a tutorial series on getting started with Kdenlive if you're interested in learning more about what it can do.

@librano exactly. Younger and younger people are definitely getting into it. when I was in high school we had 2 computer courses... "Intro to MS Word" and "Intro to the Internet". That was over 10 years ago though.

no, not my favourite company.. :( first sun, then Novell.. at least novell wasn't bought by the unholy Oracle.
by the way this rolling release craze has got to stop. on OS X, FreeBSD, or Slackware, i can have the almost all of the latest software and update (g)libc or the kernel only once in a year. the more distros go the rolling way, the more programs are going to require constant updates of the core OS itself, which yields more potential breakage.
anyway, excellent news video, as always. :)

@imTKA it's not an Arch DE, it's Arch's version of whichever DE. In this case, my desktop is running Arch's implementation of Gnome, and my laptop has Arch's implementation of KDE.

mohanr2222 1 year ago
@codebean mostly kwin-related things. Maximizing/minimizing windows, alt+tabbing, and the kickoff menu just feels slow (going into submenus especially). It's not as bad on KDE on Arch, but it's still kinda there.

I would pay $300 for a Samsung Galaxy wifi only tablet. I have wireless tethering w/ my Nexus One so I could take a wifi only Galaxy tablet anywhere I would find to be convenient. Samsung is just using the carriers to push there product for them to eager consumers. A short term win for them.

@ruconscious $300 sounds awesome for that. $600, not so much. :P
If it were $300 unsubsidized, $150 with a contract, that would be even better.

Thank you sir for pronouncing "Gnome" correctly. EVERYONE! It's pronounced Guh-nome not nome.
snowman4839 1 year ago
@snowman4839 I pronounced it wrong for a very long time, and now every video I mention it, someone says "you're saying it wrong!" :P I just point them to videos of Stormy Peters and Mark Shuttleworth saying it that way, and move on.
thisweekinlinux 1 year ago
@snowman4839 but there shouldn't be any rules in pronouncing abbreviations.. right?
mohanr2222 1 year ago
@snowman4839 If they wanted people to promounce it correctly they should have writen it differently, because no grammar rule says it should be pronounced "Guh nome".
MaghoxFr 1 year ago
@MaghoxFr Well that's just how it's pronounced dude. You don't pronounce tomb like toombuh, or depot like deepaht. or sign like sie-gehn. I said it wrong for a really long time but that's just how you say it.
snowman4839 1 year ago
@snowman4839 What you're saying makes no sense at all. The fact is they chose an acronynm that forms a preexistent word. That word is "gnome" and has a meaning and a way of being pronounced (which is noʊm). If the guys at the Gnome project wants their name to be pronounced in a different way that's fine but I think it's sensible to stop the puritan crap about pronouncing it the way they want to because it's not wrong to say "nome". It's childish crap to get mad at that. I'm glad unity comes
MaghoxFr 1 year ago
@MaghoxFr I'm not getting mad? jeeze man. calm down. It's just pronounced Guh-nome when your talking the desktop environment for linux called Gnome.

I've played with the Galaxy Tab a few times. It's quick and smooth, but no more so than my HTC Desire. The screen's good, but not spectacular.
Here in singapore, unsubsidized, it's S$1200.00! That's about US$910.00. So, $400.00 sounds like a bargain to me. :oP

@thisweekinlinux I've seen a number of people with iPads here. They always look so awkward, cradling that huge thing.
The Kno looks like an interesting thing, but I can't seem to find anything about it's OS or compatibility. I'm liking the dual screen tablet thing, like MS's Courier from a couple of years ago.

@PaulRayIsMe see, if it's for portability, 7" is great. if it's for not having a keyboard but still having a good media experience, 10" would be better. 7" just felt lilke a REALLY big phone to me.
