Great! I was very impressed by the Beta. Had some problems with flash though, hopefully it's a bit better now.

It's been around forever. On mobile phones since 3G networks came in.

Never really seen much point in it anyway.

Upgraded from 9.10 a few days ago. Went almost perfectly, just a small issue with a random screen flicker on some Intel graphics cards. Easy workaround for it though.

Very impressed with this...

It's funny but after a grub update I somehow ended up with a blue Debian GRUB background.

Much nicer than the black on white. :)

Anything would be I suppose.

I haven't really had any problems since using 64-bit. Particularly Karmic, very solid and stable so far.

Flash works well. Even though the 64-bit flash is an "alpha".

That said there's not that...

I'm not saying the CLI is hard!! Just that it makes Linux look geeky and inaccessible. Especially when we have a nice GUI tool to do the same thing. I'm not anti-CLI, I like it. Just saying. ;)

The CLI is great but it annoys me when people give instructions with it straight away (I understand why but it's a bit intimidating for newbies and gives Linux a reputation for being more difficult...

It looks nice but it is very buggy for me on Karmic, so got rid of it for now. Shame, used to love the 1.4 version.

Thanks for the tip, installing libxine1-ffmpeg also worked for me.

Me too.

The brown is better than the orange anyway. The default is clean and usable, I'm not looking for flashy or dark themes this time. (Let's see how long that lasts though.;))

In Karmic I have had to install the "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic" package as well as editing the configuration file. After that the headphones work as expected, yet to test the internal mic.

I am having the same problem from the Karmic live cd, which is better than the Jaunty one which gave me no sound at all. ;) Have to see if I can fix it in the full install.

Anyway this is most...

Just to add to that, having had to do this again recently I forgot to mention that you need to upgrade to the new alsa drivers first. Instructions here:...

This fixed it for me, thanks.

I had the same problem with my dv6, adding


options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 enable_msi=1
fixed...

Jaunty would be a perfect release for me if the sound worked, but I haven't figured out how to fix it yet. It works fine for a while but then starts stuttering. Seems it's a common problem. Have...

I was sure there was no way a female could be that geeky. :)

I mean geeky in the nicest possible way of course.

Agreed. At first I didn't really get it, but after playing around a bit I realised that tiling just makes so much more sense.

Particularly with terminal apps but not only - plus wmii offers the...

Compiz doesn't work as well as it used to on my system so I dropped it.

Besides, while some of the stuff is very useful, I can live perfectly well without it.

Currently in Xfce, have went...

Right-click on the launcher and go to properties. Or simply double-click instead of dragging when adding the launcher to the panel.

Then you can drag stuff from the appfinder to the column on the...

Since Hardy you can skip the fsck when it comes up with the Esc button.

I'm sure googling "fsck ubuntu" gave some interesting results too (imagine google suggesting "Did you mean f***...

Only if the Firefox devs decide to add it as default.

Sounds exactly like Apple then, style over substance every time:popcorn:

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage.

"Ctrl + Alt +drag with left button clicked" is the default way to activate the cube.
