Ubuntu 9.04 NBR Ubuntu Eeepc 1000H

[MrToyota420xp]

what does timer off grub mean?

[bigbadbeast2007]

im stuck with ubuntu 11.04 works awesome windows sound skips on my netbook

[sebbeks]

Removing the timer on grub is a bad habit because if you need to use a backup kernel you can't if your main one crashes (without running a live usb/cd and mounting the partition and edit the file)

[DigiTan000]

I've gotta say this one turned out pretty well for me. I got an Asus Eee PC and it actually worked better out of the box than Eeebuntu. I get occasional flicker in battery mode and I can't change the MAC like in other distros, but so far those are the only wrinkles. If you have an Asus netbook, I'd still recommend trying both distros though.

[VBNerd7]

I saw a video about this OS showing like a cube that u can use to jump from a desktop to another..that was so cool!!

does this OS that you've showed in this tut. have the same thing?

I'm just afraid that what i saw previously wasn't really Ubuntu!

and what does it mean when u say the New Notebook remix? cuz i saw many tutz. saying the same thing about this OS

thanks if u can reply soon please =)

[Rexey005]

Would you happen to know if this operating system supports 1366x768 res?

I would like to put this operating system on my 3 year old laptop do I have to move my files or will it recognize them and incorporate them?

[MyLowBattery]

When you first install ubuntu, it should recognize the resolution when it boots, and all your files remain the same unless you wipe the drive. (Some .exe programs may not work)

[TimbojimFilms]

i have a laptop with the same res. and it seems to run very well

How does this "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" compare with the regular Ubuntu?

I want to try Ubuntu 9.10 on my NC10 but I'm not sure whether to install the netbook remix or the regular desktop version.

[itsjareds]

Netbook remix is just Ubuntu with a different user interface that is more compacted yet usable. Take a look at a few vids and you'll see what I mean. Instead of having a desktop, you get a sort of menu with a bunch of tabs containing launchers to different programs.

[bob10001234]

you can use the normal desktop in NBR. i dont know the actual changes beyond the user interface that is on by default

[y2kblackout]

Wow. Windows 7 boots faster than that on my 1000HE.

[dtrust68]

on the ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 is that the desktop. im curious cause i like the way 8. whatever looks with the desktop..

[hinmatth]

I think windows 7 is better than vista as all. Because i install windows 7 in my HP mini 1109tu

and it ran fast!

[EBTL0947]

The NBR has the command line (CLI) access disabled. I found that baffling. Unless you know where a program is and can find it in Nautilus or Kommander, using the CLI is just faster. Especially in some situations where it's specifically called for. Like building apps from source.

[walter0bz]

that does sound very odd. If there's one place you really want CLI, it's on a small screen, low power machine, like a netbook

ability to go back to minimalist CLI is what makes linux worthwhle (although its nice all the desktop effects are drawing more people into using it)

[mukatuna]

Was this a pre-installed UNR on a netbook?

Every UNR I've seen and used has always had easy access to the console. It's also got all the necessary stuff to build applications from source like GCC.

The only netbook specific distros I've seen recently where access to the console is purposely difficult or impossible. Is Linpus Lite and Sony's XMB.

[AnDaTeSa]

How do you pronounce Ubuntu?

Ubuntu, an African word from Zulu and Xhosa, is pronounced "oo-BOON-too".

and your way is annoying

[tbagriot]

cry about it

[geekthree]

I know an African guy who pronounces it like that actually....

[ramoj02]

It's really "u-boon-too"

Most people pronounce it "u-boon-TWO" or "u-BUN-TWO"

[the9ghost]

and it meens humanity

[SeikoPsycho]

明日,

What is the diff. between this and the desktop version?

Can you adjust the power settings on this? How does battery life compare to xp?

[omnistegan]

The difference is only really in pre-installed packages and configuration. NBR is designed to run on netbooks so obviously the NBR package is pre-installed along with some other packages for netbooks (e-book reader, etc.). That being said, anything that can be installed on desktop ubuntu can be installed on NBR. Power settings can be manipulated, command line use knowledge helps, but there are good tutorials around for that. battery by default is slightly less than XP.

[mukatuna]

Now I've found the battery life on the netbooks to be greater with Ubuntu than with XP. Certainly this was the case with my Acer One.

XP was constantly thrashing the hard drive. I would assume that constant disk thrashing would certainly drain the much faster. Ubuntu doesn't do any disk thrashing at all, and allows the drive to stop spinning, so increasing battery life.

[Aspie12345]

are you having issues with sdhc cards and ubuntu 9.04?If yes, any soluition?

[omnistegan]

I haven't had any trouble with SDHC cards in 9.04 on my desktop or my netbook.

[adonian]

does the NBR version have the eye candy?

Like Compiz Fusion.

thx if you can reply

[omnistegan]

I'm not sure. If it doesn't by default, it can certainly be installed. NBR uses all the standard package repositories, it's only really a different set of pre-installed packages.

[dudeeeeee16]

question,do you know where I can get the super hybrid engine for ubuntu?

[failharderpl0x]

xp boots in less than 30 seconds for me on my netbook. This seems less than impressive

[markoresko]

XP is OS from 2001/02. People still using it are also less then impressive.

[mukatuna]

Any why would people who are using XP be less than impressive?

Using Vista on a netbook certainly gives much less than impressive results. In fact it's awful on netbooks.

[omnistegan]

I'll admit, it's slightly slower than XP. XP does have some advantages over ubuntu, but this bootup is considerably faster than ubuntu 8.04, which was what I was comparing to.

[alned147]

good

[MuKo18]

woow, pretty slow...

[Googler69]

Are you stupid?, if you didn't know the netbook is like a low end desktop pc but as a laptop so it may seem like a long time but for a netbook it boots hella fast, don't say shit like that if you know nothing.

[MuKo18]

did you ever heart something of windows xp?

it dont even takes 30 seconds...

[njdfan1241]

lol, for some reason i can't take you seriously

[Koss42]

My 1000HA came with windows xp preinstalled... its running 9.04 and still boots faster then xp.

[Semidicht]

mine too

[sterby1]

did you ever heart of gay?

it dont even takes 30 seconds till AIDS...

[Clorow]

did you ever heart something of ubuntu netbook remix?

it dont even take proprietary software...

[peestandingup]

How much space does the standard install of the Remix take up?? I only have an 8GB SSD drive on my Mini 9.

[omnistegan]

Not much, I'm not sure of exact numbers, and I can't check right now, but less than 1GB I believe.

[dud3fromfinland]

You should really use bootbooster, it works in linux too

Make partion that is unformatted with gparted with live cd then just do this on terminal 3 = X :

sfdisk --change-id /dev/sdX 3 ef

sfdisk --print-id /dev/sdX 3

enable bootbooster look for more info from the web.. it goes directly to grub.

[Pawlik77777]

When all games with windows on Linux ? .

[ubuntututorials]

Wine lets you run some Windows programs on Linux, quite a lot of programs work with it.

[vampspell]

Ubuntu 9.04 greet os for you Eeepc 1000H ;)

[benhellyer]

Hey, could you do a video on the interface of Ubuntu Netbook remix 9.04? Like how its all set out and any nice features it has?

[omnistegan]

I've actually since moved to the full desktop version of ubuntu on my netbook, so I probably won't be doing more videos concerning the NBR, but please go ahead and try it yourself, remember you don't have to install it if you just want to try it out.

[socom6543]

Do you have one or 2 GB RAM? Can you still adjust the speed of the processor? I'm thinking about installing ubuntu on my 1000H too!

[omnistegan]

1GB of RAM, but I'm not sure about adjusting CPU speed, I've never touched that.

Like I mentioned in the video, everything is stock, the ubuntu install finished only minutes before recording this and the only modification I made was disabling the GRUB countdown.

[socom6543]

Ey thanks for the answer, i have 2 GB so it should be even faster ;P Why did you choose for the netbook remix instead of the standard ubuntu?

[omnistegan]

Really I'm just testing it. When it's out of beta I'll likely put on the standard version.

[yannickjo]

Helo!

Could you tel me... Is everythong working ok with the "jaunty"?

- Speaker;

- Webcam;

- Audio (soundboard);

- Did you have any issues with final version of ubuntu?

thanks in advance!!

[omnistegan]

Almost everything works fine, Camera, Speakers, etc. The only thing that doesn't work out of the box was the Functions keys. That can be fixed I believe, but I didn't bother doing that myself.

[yannickjo]

Thanks for the answer!!

I'll soon remove windows once for all and drop the dual boot in favor of Jaunty!

:-)

[Koss42]

Right, to anyone looking for full functions like from the factory... check out the ACPI scripts like Elmurto's from EEEuser website. You'll find it in the forums.

[outtokill7]

nice wonder how fast it will be on my 10 year old laptop...

[omnistegan]

Hard to say, but you can always try it as a live cd/live usb without having to install.
