[taylor0o9]

[dannymeister08]

pero deja d hablar y enseña conchudo!!!!!!!!!!

[benandfreinds]

fag you rage me. stop making bad videos.

[Djknoxy143]

what mic do u use?/..i can't hear u bro

[orangeMF77]

Compiz DOES WORK DUDE !!!

[I3uLLeTz]

me to dude

[madzane94]

i see lion!

[jakeb1997]

i love that theme its the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jakeb1997]

If Ubuntu wasn't free would you still use it, just want to see if its really great, and yes i know it will always be free.

[coilgunner2]

I have the same theme, when I first used it, I really liked it, and I use the default wallpaper too.

One of my favorite things about the newer graphical versions of linux, is how I can move through the filesystem graphically, while using the terminal for using administer tools. That's always how I mount drives and what not.

[pacmanghostx]

Very cool...

I'm actually looking to run this on a netbook in the near future.

[mjnaik]

if you're getting a netbook, get the netbook remix...it runs faster on netbooks

[pacmanghostx]

Yeah, I heard about that.

[liqwiz]

Are we all together watching a guy review the Theme?

Also, learn to record mono or Proper stereo.

If you like talking, try it in the bathroom but no out here please.

[blueseawinds]

Microsoul took some of the stuff from linux .

[madzane94]

the wallpaper is a lion!

[GShinato]

actually, it is an ibex, much like a ram.

[tipoomaster]

Its an Ibex...Where do you see a lion?

[EMGPus]

COMPIZ WORKS YOU GAY SH*T!

[tehcomputerman]

it doesnt work with my hardware you dumb fuck

[EMGPus]

Then say it doesn't waork for YOU, not for the distro. Or leave it out, that's your personal problem, retard. Your a noob at this stuff

[tehcomputerman]

it was a major problem during the beginning of the release

[EMGPJt]

wow, you cant be muture about what he said and you didn't say it was your hardware so how was he suppose to know. We all cant see the world like you do. And compiz works fine on mine. Its kinda a lil choppy when i move a window around its prbly since i have only 512 MB of ram so im gonna buy 2 GB of ram so i dont get ram fill ups.

[EMGPus]

This kid doesn't know crap

[Syckful]

i agree

[pinke123]

compiz works

[BETO1BETO2]

still, ubuntu 8.10 is not ready for the masses, there are a lot of hardware compatibility problems, if you are an average pc user " 8.10 " is not for you,but if you can deal with re- installation, commands, and forum searching , when ubuntu crashes then you'll be able to use ubuntu ibex, otherwise stay with windows.

[rochetastic]

is ubuntu as easy to use as windows xp .i heard that in linux based systems it involves commands and code typing. can you give me details about ubuntu in comparison to windows .thanks in advance.

[black1234560]

If you don't have patience, your doomed. Research your stuff first and keep checking out videos. The first 2-3 hours are gonna be confusing or annoying. Though the end result is worth it.

[rochetastic]

after the setup will it have a GUI? i heard u have to type a code in order to escape DOS and enter the the desktop

[black1234560]

Sorry to say, but im still an Ubuntu noob.

Your talking about the desktop showing up after installation? Yeah it appears, though I don't remember entering any code. All it asks is for your user name and password that you give before the installation. It's really just like a 30 minute wait till it's installed. Then like another wait for patch updates. After all that, your basically done. Hoped that solved your question.

[rochetastic]

Thanks for the info.really looking for a windows alternative,since i find macs to be complete and utter shit

[jakeb1997]

you should watch a lot of videos and read forums before installing or else it might be confusing.

[bigranger16]

its ou bun 2

not u boon tyu

[imraanLQ4ever]

dude...

this is not a review man...

u just say it's cool/nice...

u should redo it.

BTW no Offence.

[Whocaresifyoucare]

I have tried as few Linux flavors;

Vector

ArtistX

Sabayon 4

Opensuse 11

and find UBUNTU to be the best!

It is very clear and concise when installing

Ubuntu is very simple to set up

My video card has no issues at all with Ubuntu

MARK SHUTTLEWORTH is the man!

[win4ever123]

Does anyone know how to get screen caputure on ubuntu. I tried xvidcap, but it closes after I hit record.

[seansfilms]

gtk-recordmydesktop

[hellprince1]

Compiz Works Great on ubuntu 8.10...

[Vaserlan]

not on mine, it doesn't. :( But then again, i had an interuped install.

[StaticYum]

compiz dose work in ubuntu

[Vaserlan]

It worked great on 8.04

[mepatuhoo]

is it just me or is this video very quiet. i am looking at my sound on ubuntu and everything is set to max but yet this is so hard to hear.

[FinalMacPro]

WTF? Compiz won't work! Your using it!

[tehcomputerman]

Thats desktop effects built into gnome

[FinalMacPro]

I love 8.10 it run's only on my Mac's. And it has a annoying GUI! Amazing!

[luther349]

well compiz does work in 8.10 its been in ubuntu for some time. its probably just not set as default now. enabling advanced effects is compiz fusion.

[gamer2502]

sound was a little low

[dinarte24]

Hey I was wondering about the cube, how do you get that, and how do you get the windows to wobble? I tried that and it didn't work.

[tehcomputerman]

Compiz Fusion

[dinarte24]

Is it one of the apps that you install?

[tehcomputerman]

yes

[dinarte24]

Kay I installed it, and the whole wavy screen started working but what about the cube? how do I get that working?

[tehcomputerman]

settings - advanced desktop effects then you will figure it out from there.

[ibloxProductionz]

Hehe I see you have just made a comment :P Great vids man and I like your osx vid ;)

[dinarte24]

Well I think I can't, It's called rotation right? cause in my screen settings thing it says "rotation not available", I can't find anywhere where it says settings.

[drutt1985]

i have some questions: when you plug in lets say an mp3 player does it install itself like on vista?

and are there any of those games like minesweeper or the card games like on vista..

ihave alvays wondered that..

[Du3ky]

Is The cube included in 8.10

or do u have 2 install it seperatly?

[shadow60793]

Looks awesome!!!cant wait to install it

[creaturegreeny56]

hey why is my ubuntu slow when its in a virtual machine? the specs are 640mb of ram and i have a core 2 duo

[Stew0122]

i want to get a new computer and im really interested in a mac im pretty much a mac fnaboy even tho i dont own one lol but there so expensive and PCs look so tempting cuz theyre cheap i kno vista sucks dick so i started lucking at linux so can someone tell me how good this is compared to MAC OS X pros and cons not a biased fanboy comment thanks if this runs as good as a mac then thats great cuz i guess im not as much of a mac fanboy but more of a windows hater

thanks!

[IknewitWin7]

Ubuntu 8.10 Is Great. I have installed on a 600 dollar HP laptop, and it runs smooth. Boots fast, shuts down fast, desktop fast, etc.

Great for browsing the web, only need 30 Gig Partition and FREE!

[Zaerdna]

im used too windows XP but im getting back my laptop from reparation soon and i was thinking to get Ubuntu 8.10 on it , im kinda bored of windows pc's now and i never play game son my pc..

would you recommend ubuntu for me?

[faheemthedream2007]

DUDE, get it NOW! its gona BLOW your mind..

it works with ALL PC's. dont matter too much on your specs..

amazing!!!

[Zaerdna]

haha i got ubuntu now i got it today! :D didnt think i would have my laptop back so soon ^^ and it did blow my mind!

[lilcojack208288]

does ubuntu wipe out your system or it allows you to choose from ethier windows or ubuuntu

[faheemthedream2007]

lets you choose! you can use both if you'd like. or install the WHOLE OS(operating system). its really up to you :P

[whatnameisavailablee]

I can't get my 940gm/945gml intel card to work :( versa driver :(

Extremely disappointed. I don't have time to downgrade, I will just wait till it's fixed. I will certainly wait next time before I upgrade.

[silvarodrigues666]

Am....mch mch..ahhhh....lol

What a great master pc are you !!

:O

[2Ademar2]

I tried to install ubuntu 8.10 and the only way I could make the live cd to work was to use safe graphics mode or some shit like that, past version work fine though, I've been reading about that and it seems there is a bug and compiz is the thing to blame, any advice?

[rollin02301]

Compiz [u]will[/u] work, I have 8.10 and compiz installed and working fine. In fact, the wobbly windows, and other effects, are Compiz. You just need to install compizconfig-settings-manager to get the advanced config menu. You also have to be sure that you have the drivers for your video card installed. I like that you are promoting Linux, and giving reviews and talking about it, but please do a little bit of research before saying that something, is or is not possible.

[tehcomputerman]

I did many others had problems too

[rollin02301]

that is why I said that you have to be sure you have the drivers for your video card, and that your video card can handle Compiz, if you have an old, low power graphics card, you are not going to be able to run Compiz, but for most ppl, who have a fairly modern machine, as long as the drivers are installed properly, which is quite easy with the restricted drivers manager build into Ubuntu, you should be able to run Compiz with no issue.

[zealpal]

compiz effects all work on a Nvidia 7300GT,which is quite old

[ubuntu704feistyfawn]

whats ur pc specs here?

[pacoworld]

I still have 8.04 I don;t see a good reason to upgrade

[SweKirimA]

Why not?

[EMGPJt]

hmm nice review 5/5 stars

[imthepod]

how dd u get that twitter thing on ur top bar?? and all dat extra stuff? ther nt on my 8.10

[tehcomputerman]

right click the deskbar and check off what u want

[imthepod]

wats the thng u have called? i dnt see in in da list

[tehcomputerman]

DESKBAR

[imthepod]

thnxs

[STMUN]

ubuntu just refuses to install in a partition, tried the wubi, making a partition in vista, making a partition in the installation set-up, just won't work

[xaco18]

compiz did actually take alot of tweeking to get my 8.04 to use compiz, but i allways prefer installing it clean tho. so i'll try it with the live cd first, don't see a point in useing it now anyway. but if i will use it, then i'll do a clean install, got some OLD config files in my /home also that screws my system up

[Wakkajakka]

Very nice my good sir... Didn't even know about this version. I'm downloading it now. :D

[SamueltehG33k]

Xubuntu Ibex is buggy as fuck

[tehcomputerman]

i agree i tried it just use gnome its really good

[SamueltehG33k]

i'll install it on the EEE pc im getting for xmas

[celtic426]

why didnt compiz work for u?

[wolffangalchemist]

compiz works fine with mine not one problem od part is i'm not useing the propritory driver at all.

maybe after a few more updates it will get fixed for you.

you can also try writing a bug report on it to boost the chances of it getting fixed.

[TecHabblex]

if u want to upgrade from 8.4 to 8.10 do you gotta download the cd again or can u do it true the updates?

[tehcomputerman]

use the update its easier

[TecHabblex]

k THX ;D

[UbuntuLee]

either way. just open a terminal and type in

sudo update-manager -d

it will open the update manager and give you an option to upgrade.

[chewit10]

I upgraded on the day it came out. Its a excellent release, i think its the best release (7.10 was my favourite, up to now). I use Xubuntu, sadly no new version of Xfce, but it is alot faster. Also Xorg is far better now, my performance on my ATi card has doubled!

[platnumX]

Compiz was fine for me. :/

besides that good review.

[tehcomputerman]

works for some not others

[BWF89]

KDE's had a tabbed file manager in the form on Konqueror for awhile now. I was wondering when GNOME would implement the same thing.

[tehcomputerman]

i agree

[jfost784]

no problems with compiz

[tehcomputerman]

works for some not others

[jlpogi23]

Windows Se7en is better...

[eduardoc]

...It's not out yet...

[Wefaz]

Ehh.... it was released October 30 :p

[eduardoc]

My comment was a reply to someone saying Windows 7 was better than Ubuntu.

[Wefaz]

Ohhh, I'm sorry!

[eduardoc]

Eh, honest mistake.

[jlpogi23]

it not out, but it was leaked to torrent sites and available for download,.,.,.it's really better that any OS!

[eduardoc]

It's a pre-beta version.

[jlpogi23]

yeah, but it's totally faster and has incredible features.,.,.,you can also hack the activation...

[brilliantmojo]

its a skull

[jr026]

it more of a chocolate color =]

[PCProgramReviews]

What do u guys like better? Windows or Ubuntu? And why?

[jr026]

well i dnt really have a fav but rite knw i really like ubuntu....ive been using it for about a year now and so far so good =]

vista well it ok but not tha best at times =/

[UbuntuLee]

I hate vista, and Ubuntu is my absolute favorite. As of now I am using windows XP.

I got a brand new computer with a very very advanced board and Ubuntu didn't support it. Just gotta wait a little while.

Why do I like Ubuntu better?

No defrags, no viruses, and its a lot faster.

[coolgeek7]

what are you specs man?

[UbuntuLee]

Nvidia SLI graphics card with 512 mb of ram dedicated to the card, 4 gb of ram with a phenton AMD 2.50 quad core processor and realtek HD audio. XP home edition x32 (can't detect all my ram )I also have a sweet flat screen with a 1440x900 res.

[coolgeek7]

awesome..

[UbuntuLee]

Yea but I can't run Linux on it because they don't have drivers for my board yet and vista is terrible on it. so... XP it is.

[coolgeek7]

vista should be good on it!!

[tehcomputerman]

er no

[tehcomputerman]

im gonna build a machine with similar specs soon but i ight wait for the i7 processor i heard u were using mandriva

[UbuntuLee]

I was using mandriva... until I installed it on my machine.

It worked flawlessly in the live cd, but after install my mouse, keyboard, and sound didn't work and compiz crashed constantly. It pissed me off. lol. I have weird specs. I have 2 onboard graphics cards and 2 onboard sound cards. I think they conflict in Linux.

[commodore256]

I like Ubuntu, Because Micro$oft is an evil Monopoly that only cares about money.

It's almost impossible to get viruses on Linux.

I would rather have shitty software and not pay for it, then to have shitty software and pay $200 for it.

"Software is like sex, it's better when it's free."- Linus Torvalds

[commodore256]

Compiz works fine for me.

[tehcomputerman]

works for some not others

[PCProgramReviews]

Thank you, What do u like better, vista, windows xp, or this? and why?

[tehcomputerman]

ubuntu 8.10 for the same reasons as always
