Netflix Coming to Linux (hopefully)! Ubuntu 11.10 Developer Summit (UDS-O), Google I/O

[dalexandruz]

I also downloaded the windows xp service pack 2 and 3 about 300mbytes size at 1.2Mbps in virtualbox at the same time surfing the web in ubuntu 11.10, no web surfing slowdown, so the virtualbox works very well splitting resources between linux and windows xp home. Even if you have a pentium 4 3.2 to 3.8ghz it should still run fine but dual core cpu is just perfect.

[dalexandruz]

so hit ctrl-alt and delete to restart the whole system. Linux may be free and sometimes runs faster than windows but it is still so damn buggy on the desktop. Be careful what you download and use for ubuntu it may bring gnome or kde to a halt. If you have a powerful machine just download a windows xp iso and install it in the free virtualbox. I'm using an old windows xp home disc that i purchased a very long time ago. Don't wait for netflix to come to linux desktop.

[dalexandruz]

Linux is still buggy and prone to crashes compared to windows 7 which i only experienced 1 bsod from the kworld driver when i unplugged and plugged back in the kworld tv adapter into the usb slot. I ran clamtk in ubuntu 11.10 and the whole gnome froze, nothing worked. the only thing to do was hit atl-f2 to go into shell mode and stop the clamtk but instead i did sudo gdm stop which ended the graphics driver but then i could no longer use the shell it did not take any commands anymore.

[dalexandruz]

who cares. I just created a windows xp virtualbox in ubuntu 11.10 and installed sp3 and all updates. I installed sliverlight and now running netflix inside the virtualbox. It's fast no performance problems. ps3,roku all run linux OS and use their own custom drm for streaming netflix. I think microsoft and netflix has some arrangement not to have netflix on the desktop. my machine: intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz 4mbyte shared cache, 3gig ddr2 667mhz ram, geforce 9600gt.

[ruinairas]

GA NOME lolz. It's NOME (Gnome)

[Jonedcc]

PLEASE BRING NETFLIX SUPPORT TO UBUNTU!!!!

[goosenooseable]

i stopped using ubuntu because i couldn't stream netflix...

i hope this goes through so i can live in linux again :)

[phreakincool]

@goosenooseable Ubuntu > VirtualBox > WinXP > Chrome/Firefox > Netflix

[geekpeptalk]

I know this is a very much asked question...BUT is there ANY! way to watch netflix on ubuntu 11.04 I have completely switchover to ubuntu and I miss netflix very much!

[paulgthawkins]

Pinguy... Sounds like pink eye

[GranKnight87]

@paulgthawkins to me sounds like 'Pinga' what means 'dick' in spanish LOL

[homeschoolingwithaop]

Great! Netflix in Linux is finally coming. Like my facebook page Netflix on Linux to let Netflix know we're here! Search netflix support in linux on facebook.

[sigraz]

Distributed development sometimes could be so back firing. Intel sandy bridge hd graphics and amd or nvidia graphics has failed in kernel and ubuntu itself. It neither supports HD 3000 nor installs priority driver without error. In total Linux has failed to either support old hardware(32-bit p4 old without graphics) or the newer ones. First of all it will take generations for these supports to come, if it does, within few months it will be called old. This is why the pendulum ticks at around 1%.

[dexter2433]

Netflix is all that prevents me from being a 100% ubunta user i enjoy the feel of Ubunta 11.4 it is a very nice os

[daleiden]

@dexter2433 same here!!! if netflix becomes available on ubuntu I will make the full switch

[TheGreatBunghole16]

awesom virgin airlines ad xD

[mentalplayground]

cool as always.

Thanks

ps. All best with Your wife :)

[patrickjmcdowell]

Happy anniversary!

[Lynnc83]

thanks for the news

[jeffreyparke]

heh, he said penetrate...

[eethomasf32]

@jeffreyparke I probably laughed harder, than I should

[Crazyteen28]

@Virtue0 Pardus Looks Great be looking foward to that! Thanks!

[persiansteps]

@hisweekinlinux I tried to install backtrack 5 in virtualBox using Mac OS, but it just cant seem to make it work after the screen comes up i write "startx" but then it crashes, could u help me out?

[deltaray3]

Wow Jordan the video quality is awesome! Do you have $20,000 cameras now or something? Feels like I'm watching a studio made documentary or something.

[dubstepgamer]

I wonder if somebody is going to make a gUbuntu that doesn't include Unity for 11.10...

[sbobillierc]

What is the point of making gnome 3 the default shell if they are going to put Unity over it?

[archmagic17a]

if netflix was comming to brazil, then i would be happy

[JabbaLover87]

Just discovered your channel.. good stuff! I'm adding you to my Reader list. I'm a Ubuntu user and have been using Linux for about a year. I mostly learned it since I work with servers and the CLI, but I ended up liking Ubuntu so much I now use it as my default desktop.

[7715z]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKES THIS VIDEO?? SRSLY?? WHO THE FUCK DOES IT??

[phreakincool]

@7715z IDK...Mac fanbois who luv Hulu?

[migel2197]

@7715z 11 retards

[Crazyteen28]

Hey jordan;

So im going to buy a laptop (finally). Im going to install linux (don't know what distro yet). Im going to start college right now so... What do you say? Dual boot w/ win7 completely install linux and use windows on a VM or don't do it at all? I really want to start w/ arch but people make it sound so complicated. And ubuntu it's having so much problems right now i don't even know what distro...

[thisweekinlinux]

@Crazyteen28 depends on what you're planning to do in college. if you're going to be doing any programming in Visual Studio, a VM might not be the best option. if your professors require you to use MS Office products, and refuse to take Libre/OpenOffice documents (even .doc from it), you can run Win in a VM and use MS Office there, but it can be a hassle to start up a VM just to do some doc processing.

It might be worth buying something with Win preinstalled and putting Linux on it.

[thisweekinlinux]

@Crazyteen28 I will say, though, if you're looking to run Linux on something, make sure you're prepared to either fight with graphics, or use the Intel integrated, because most newer laptops come with Nvidia or ATI preinstalled in a hybrid mode with integrated Intel graphics on the CPU. Found that one out the hard way. Even if it's not something like Nvidia Optimus (hybrid on purpose), a discrete card can pair with a Core i3/i5/i7 integrated GPU and, in Linux, the Intel takes over. :/

[vlamnire]

@Crazyteen28 Either Ubuntu or Mint for new users.

[Virtue0]

@Crazyteen28 if i can suggest do like me (had same situation year ago), I'm using windows since 1999 so im a windows user for 12 years now and i didnt have a windows that didnt crash/virused/blue screen/... anyways other than Win7 they kinda suck,so i tried linux pardus distro 4 months ago and i was amazed how good it was, and so far no problems :) i would reccomend (also i have VM Win only for office), try infinetlygalactic or sneekylinux channels if u need some more info, gl hf choosing :)

[blackangeluph]

@Crazyteen28 Also if you will install a distro try ubuntu :) more easy to start

[monstercameron]

chrome. angrybirds. com works on ff4 aswell!

[LSBE]

flash 10.3 greatly improved HD performance on my atom based revo and my arch box.

Netflix is working on my Droid2 w/Zombiestomed ROM (gingerbread) and on my bosses Droid1 with a GB ROM

[thisweekinlinux]

@LSBE Congrats on Netflix on your Droid 2! I'm seriously tempted to go ahead and install Gingerbread back on my Droid X today to try it out myself...

[Jumbomasters]

ubuntu has become a bad copy of os x

[ecconz]

Shouldn't you be courting the missus rather than making vids :P

[mikethedj4]

How do you get these videos out so fast??? Maybe I just have bad hardware, as a 30 minute video takes 10 hours to render.

[thisweekinlinux]

@mikethedj4 10 hours? what sort of hardware are you rendering that on, and what software? With kdenlive on my quad core AMD system (for the most part it's not even using all 4 cores of it) I can render a 10-minute video in about 15 minutes. With the effects I'm using for newer videos, like Contrast and Saturation, it's taking quite a bit longer, so this video took about 45 minutes to render.

[mikethedj4]

@thisweekinlinux Wax 2.0 on windows, and using Wine, and when I use Blender it takes awhile as well, cause of the zooming and panning effects, or if I take screenshots, and animate everything incorporating the audio it takes a long time. Cinelerra was good, but I just had nothing, but problems, and Kdenlive I had issues with. Might just be bad hardware though. Gonna get me a Macbook, and the Chromebook. (Thinking on the Blackberry Playbook too)

[thisweekinlinux]

@mikethedj4 it could always be something to do with the software. I'm not familiar with Wax, but I know blender, being a 3d rendering solution, probably does take a while longer to do things.

[mikethedj4]

@thisweekinlinux I use Blender's node editor to do all my video edits, and it's a great alternative to After Effects, however the rendering process takes awhile, but not as long as Wax, but still takes awhile.

[genuinebbuck]

You can go to angry birds from any modern browser, you have to have up to date flash, IE9, FF4 or chrome just go to chrome-angrybirds-com "- = ."

[thisweekinlinux]

@genuinebbuck yup, thanks. :)

[kn100kn100]

Also random question, I have a friend with a netbook I recently Ubuntu-ified (W7 starter is so damn awful, can't change the background wallpaper? wtf?) and it's a touch screen netbook, and it has a multitouch touch screen. Do you have any idea how to enable the multitouch functionality, everything else works PERFECTLY including standard touch screen.

[thisweekinlinux]

@kn100kn100 I believe there are some settings in the xorg.conf file (or if there isn't an xorg.conf file, you may have to create one) to enable multitouch. if you go to the terminal and look at "lsusb" (I think, perhaps it's lspci, but I think because it's a touch screen, it's considered a USB device) you should see the touch screen listed in there, and from there we can figure out what needs to be in your xorg.conf to make it work.

[kn100kn100]

Hey Jordan, thought this may make you laugh, I am currently about to sit an IT paper for GCSE (complete bs, basically how to use microsoft office) and we were being forced to revise in one of the classes. I saw a question which read "Linux is an operating system. Name 2 other Operating systems"

Can you see the issue? xD

[thisweekinlinux]

@kn100kn100 *facepalm*

[Apoteoza]

sooo you got married when you were 22 y.o.?

i am 21 and i feel so old...

[thisweekinlinux]

@Apoteoza got married the day after I turned 22, yup.

[Apoteoza]

@thisweekinlinux

so it'll be hard to forget about anniversary...

anyway. great show. bigup from poland.

[FearedBliss]

@thisweekinlinux Haha congrats man, I have 2 years with my girlfriend right now and I'm almost 20. Don't worry Jordan, I hope that me and my girl can pull it off just like you did ;D

[CagedPaps]

@thisweekinlinux

Don't mean to bring this down but fuck that. I guess if you've lived the same place all your life that add a few years.

Congrats though.

[TWILisawesome]

Happy Anniversary!

I love bt5. I want to see you review it :P

As always, you are godly.

[eduardoc]

I thought they said they were keeping Evolution but would go with Thunderbird if the devs could make it fit with Ubuntu?

[nvanadium]

So is Wayland supposed to be the real deal as far as video performance goes or is this just another way Ubuntu wants to be different than other OS's?

[BrokenArrow280]

You do not need Chrome to play angry birds. I just typed in the URL into Firefox and it loaded right up.

[praxis321]

Happy Aniversary... :D

Ubuntu has 200M users...? Let's assume that is correct, then that means that 188M (They estimate that only 12M are currently using it) have run to another distros or back to Windows...!!!

Google IO, is trying to get you to accept that hey have control over your life and info so they can make a buck out of it... Because they sell advertisement.

[thisweekinlinux]

@praxis321 no, Shuttleworth estimates that in 4 years time, they WILL have 200 million, and he says they probably have 12 million now.

[eduardoc]

@praxis321 Looks like someone watched LAS and took it as 100% truth :P Just because bryan said it doesn't make it true.

[praxis321]

@eduardoc I agree with you... :D However, that doesn't mean is 100% lies. In any case, one should be aware that people can do anything with our information. For example, the Facebook app bug discovered by Symantec where a third party can gain access to your account via a token and use this info to do what they like.

Also, I recall the words of Google ex-CEO Eric Schmidt: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place".

[raket94]

@emersonhitech Yeah, at first it felt a little weird with OpenBox. But once you get to know it you have a pretty awesome workflow!

[BBgamerUK]

I'm looking forward to Linux Mint 11. I might switch my Ubuntu 11.04 installation to it when it comes out.

[Rubdos]

Marriage after birthday ^^

[schmidtbag]

i'm sure a good 25% of that 12 million users are ubuntu variants that use the ubuntu servers, but it is still nice to see such a large number

[Benc1213]

what gui are you using on your arch install? gnome 3?

[thisweekinlinux]

@Benc1213 gnome 3 fallback right now. had some issues with screen tearing on Gnome Shell with my nvidia card.

[FearedBliss]

@thisweekinlinux I'm back on Arch and love it, but I don't like GNOME 3 .. I tried it and out and it's ok, It's missing a lot and not just because it's a major release but because by design they simplified it too much. I moved to something else for now.. like OpenBox.. messing around with that and XFCE, Rat Poison, and I want to try out a few more like DWM, XMonad, Awesome. I can't believe GNOME 3 pushed me completely away to a Tiler haha, or even a minimalistic stacker (OpenBox).

[nessonic]

For the Google laptop, is that 100MB limit for access anywhere? And you can continue using your own wall connection for "free" (no extra charges, I mean), correct?

[thisweekinlinux]

@nessonic the 100mb is on 3g. wifi is free, of course.

[raket94]

@emersonhitech Well, thats what i like about it.. It doesn't try too hard to impress. It boots faster than anything i've tried and is extremely fast and lighweight..

It just feels stable and like you can do whatever you want with it. I also think that OpenBox is fantastic. i love the shortcuts etc.

It's not super cool or anything. But it gives you what you need and does it well!

[RuelpsTV]

you look in this video like a guy who had a great birthday party ; D

[bamdadkhan]

this is so embarrassing. i live in budapest, but i had no idea that the developer summit was going to be here. :(

[mohanr2222]

I think you should make a channel for android because it has enough news of its own and it doesn't concern linux users (who are not android users). More views + More subs. :-)

[olddellhelp]

Great video man!

[AlbanianProductions]

why dont u get sponsored by netflix?

[TomAnkcorn]

Wayland is already in the software centre. not tried it though!

[onTOPtheROCK]

3 dislikes? Must be windows users!

[fantasmaofdoom]

Next: Netflix in Europe? :D

[Ajanek]

Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome 3 - yaaaaaaayyy! .... with Unity interface - wtf?

[ventusprime]

nemtudtam hogy ilyesmi volt Budapesten

[thejoesteiger]

Lots of cool news this week

[LeeL29]

I think that what holds ubuntu back is not the operating system itself, or just derivative if you want to get picky, i'd say that it just simply lacks alot of the popular software people want.

[rulet357]

I don't see anything more useless from OS's and software then Chrome OS.



[Xilmwa]

It would be nice to see the software centre integrated into Ubuntu One.

[mike3214545]

Thanks for the news!

[lucatechxx]

Ubuntu 10.10 to ARCH ( gnome 2.32 ) to ARCH (KDE 4.6) to Linux mint 11

All because of unity and gnome 3 update. This suxs 9 ( but mint doesn't )

[thisweekinlinux]

@lucatechxx really? you could have just used the "classic edition" on the Ubuntu desktop, couldn't you? :P

[lucatechxx]

@thisweekinlinux yes u can

[itachisxeyes]

@lucatechxx I sort of understand your pain, only not as much, XD

I switched from Kubuntu to Debian and then to Gentoo (because it's summer vacation, and my car is in the shop so I wasn't going anywhere anyways! XP)

But I feel kind of like Ubuntu is getting a little clogged up, Unity was kind of the last straw so to speak.

[lucatechxx]

@itachisxeyes  thank for reply

[chadkellycolorado]

@lucatechxx Ubuntu makes more than 1 desktop option. Logout, then use the login option to choose from the available desktops, such as gnome 2.

[lucatechxx]

@chadkellycolorado i know but this gets people worked up

[Linux4UnMe]

200 million users in 4 years! ahahahahahahahaha. What a joke. I think Marky Mark will have egg on his face in 4 years when he realises his goal is not possible for Ubuntu Nor any Distro to Achieve at this point in time.

[thisweekinlinux]

@Linux4UnMe gotta think big, man. exponential growth and decay, and what not. :P

[sheps999]

Wait, 100MB/month allowance for ChromeOS? Um, isn't it a web-based platform? That's a /tiny/ amount.

[thisweekinlinux]

@sheps999 let me tell you, 100Mb goes fast, too...

[etnlIcarus]

@sheps999 Watch this video thrice @ 360p and you've used up your month's allowance.

[sheps999]

@etnlIcarus Makes me think they just want to charge people for going over their allowances.

[raket94]

You should check out Crunchbang linux. I think it's the Linux distro that i'll stick with from now on!

[hendrikwiersma]

The angry birds in chrome is to show the possibilities of html5. That is some I think is worth mentioning. And btw how was your birthday? Did you get some linux related gifts?

[thisweekinlinux]

@hendrikwiersma had a great time on my birthday! The only real "gift" I got was the messenger bag I talked about on my second channel (TWILTalks). Most everyone else just gives me money for my birthday, because they don't know what to get me. :P

[etnlIcarus]

@thisweekinlinux Gifts for a *nix geek on their birthday:

- blank CD media

- obscure pieces of hardware that the linux kernel can theoretically be compiled for

- a copy of Windows for when something goes wrong

- a digital photo frame that can only be accessed via some non-standard implementation of the MTP/PTP protocol (if you don't like them very much)

- the OpenOffice mouse

[itachisxeyes]

@etnlIcarus What about a dead badger? I hear you can install GNU/Linux on a dead badger too, XD

[SeltsamerAttraktor]

@itachisxeyes Yeah, but Ubuntu won't cut it, you'll need some special distro adapted to the realms of the living dead, such as Voodoo Linux.

[analyzingfunny]

We are ALL into penetration.

[vipor29]

i like pinguy thinking of putting it on here

[thejlx]

gotta love this channel im to lazy to check things myself and i get a nice recap of all news worthy in minutes

[z1126a]

happy anniversary



[DragardKaos]

I'm not sure if you know or not, or how old this "news" is, but the developer for Regnum Online (an MMO) ported their game to be supported on Linux. As far as I know, this is the first MMORPG that's officially supported on Linux.

[thisweekinlinux]

@DragardKaos yup, we talked about Regnum a few months ago when the developer made it open source. :)

[DragardKaos]

@thisweekinlinux Ah, I see. Can't believe I missed that. Oh well haha

[FeelItRising]

Google wants to own you!

[naryanr]

It's a real shame they aren't switching to Chrome as the default browser. I wonder why the meeting was cancelled...

[etnlIcarus]

@naryanr Probably anticipating that an epically pathetic flame-war would break out. Words would be had, some idiot would pipe up about Mono patents, someone would make a joke about women, everyone would get their scrotum in a twist and Mark would be forced to make another grovelling apology.

[naryanr]

@etnlIcarus Did... did YOU cancel the meeting?!

[EBaY84]

You mentioned something about a reliance on Silverlight for netflix, not sure if this would work (I just don't use netflix, and haven't run into issues where I'd need Silverlight), but there is an open source solution called moonlight on the mono-project website

[thisweekinlinux]

@EBaY84 sadly, no. tried that a while back. Moonlight doesn't support the DRM needed to make it work. awesome thought, though.

[jeff30458]

the cr-48 has a dual cole processor, I know this because I put ubuntu on it and checked the usage and it had meters for both processors

[thisweekinlinux]

@jeff30458 either they put out two different generations of cr-48, or I got ripped off then. :P I've got one with the Intel N455, which is a single core, underpowered Atom processor.

[chewit10]

No decision was made on the default email client. Currently it will still be Evolution. Look at the news post on OMG!Ubuntu

[thisweekinlinux]

@chewit10 argh, misreading on my part. :Psorry about that.

[lizardX11]

I hate Unity -

I tried to Install Gnome 3 but it was too buggy,

[AngryRantingNerd]

Oh wow, your birthday and then your anniversary. Happy anniversary! You are so awesome.

[Heisenberg11788]

Happy Anniversary!

[ghttboi]

/* immature comment start */

hehe, you said penetration...xD

/* immature comment end */

happy anniversary

finally getting rid of evolution and gettin thunderbird :D

i hate unity,

woot angry birds

[EnavSounds]

Could you pleas explain ?!?!?! they will use Gnome 3 by default in the next release but with the Unity interface???? what??? O_o

[Deliciousfruit233]

@EnavSounds Unity is just a different shell for Gnome 3. Ubuntu 11.04 actually uses Gnome 3 right now, just with the Unity shell rather than the normal Gnome Shell.

[naryanr]

@Deliciousfruit233 Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't use gnome 3.

[jeff30458]

@Deliciousfruit233 ubuntu 11.04 doesn't use gnome 3

[naryanr]

@EnavSounds Ubuntu 11.04 is still Gnome, it's Gnome 2.x.x. For the first time it has a Unity shell on top of it. Which is why you see a dock on the left. From 11.10 onwards it will be Gnome 3 with the Unity shell. So it shouldn't look that different but under the hood it's a pretty huge upgrade.

[pedrojaviero]

BTW Google released a Go SDK for App Engine in the Google I/O, since Go is a system / general purpose programming language which also works with gcc 4.6; I think these are good news for linux users.

[pedrojaviero]

@pedrojaviero Oh, and I forgot to mention, someone asked Rob Pike if Go is coming for Android and Rob said "it would be great, but I'm not allowed to talk about it". I think there will be good news in the next few months.

[jtwebman]

Angry Bird's plays on Firefox 4 and IE 9 as well. It's using HTML 5 stuff.

[pedrojaviero]

Happy Anniversary!

[Ditherliss]

Wait, there's actually going to be a service fee for ChromeOS?

Ohahahahaha, oh god, oh wow

I uninstalled that shit a month after I got my Chomebook. Runs a REAL version of Ubuntu now.

[SeaofInfinity32]

@Ditherliss a REAL version? ChromeOS is not even a derivative of Ubuntu. My little netbook runs Joli OS and it loves it. I think it's the perfect OS for such a small computer.

[foxyd3]

@SeaofInfinity32 google[dot]com/search?client=u­buntu&channel=fs&q=ChromeOS+ba­sed+off+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf­-8

[SeaofInfinity32]

@foxyd3 Nevermind. Let's just act like I didn't even add that comment. I honestly did not know Chrome OS was based on Ubuntu. Any time I've ever looked at information about Chrome OS it all read as if it was straight from Google design. My mistake. Sorry. :(

[rml695]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both! :D Also the ChromeBooks will be available for purchase for between $349 to $499 depending on which device and configuration you go with. On top of that, there is a built in screen reader called ChromeVox for Chrome OS which is fantastic because this is the first out of the box talking computer solution I've seen for under $1,000, and to make it maintenance free (as most maintenance software is hated by screen readers), this is a real plus for myself & others.

[thisweekinlinux]

@rml695 I saw Cali Lewis' video about the Chromebooks after I had already filmed. oops. a bit much for what they are, but I suppose that's why they're offering the monthly rate if you want 3g with it.

VERY cool about the ChromeVox part. :)

[BrokenBjartur]

Didn't know about linux gamers distro. Thanks.

[dynetrax]

Happy Anniversary! Oh and HTML5 Angry birds works in firefox too!

[Justgoodvids]

2*pi

[miasmablk]

yay!



[plutgamer]
