hexophrenic Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I tried to download just the .torrents and their servers are being hammered such that I was having difficulty even getting the torrent files. Will wait a bit. Looking more forware to BT5. Regarding the PSN hack, what exactly is there to talk about? Sony has not been very forthcoming with details.

xtr3m3 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I'm attempting to upgrade my 10.10 powerpc to 11.04, and hoping for the best. I haven't ever used upgrade before, but I backed everything up.. Just in case. I'll have to stick to 'Ubuntu Classic,' as I don't think the new Unity interface will work on an old G4 processor.. Also, you should rename this topic to Ubuntu 11.04 + PSN Hack. Just a thought.. [Edit] Yup, had to switch to Ubuntu Classic, but the upgrade went well. [Edit 2] Uh oh, it won't restart and freezes..

RogueHart Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 i downloaded it and am loving it for the most part. I like unity. takes a lot of getting used to and ive switched back and forth between it and gnome a few times to make sure i could access everything. i just wish i knew how to make some changes. adding an extra 2 workspaces (i use 2 rows 3 columns), adding shortcuts to the shortcut menu (top left of screen), and it would be really nice to have the "places" menu from gnome again so i can mount get to files easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) still dont know how to change the workspaces but i have found a good guide to unity. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html hope that helps someone. i shrunk my launcher icons to the smallest size and things are much nicer now edit: oh and i found if you right click on the applications icon in the sidebar itll give you a list like it did in gnome. makes things easier to find edit2: actually that first program can edit workspaces. its under general settings. verticle size sets rows and horizontal size sets columns Edited April 30, 2011 by RogueHart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikpee Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I dl'd the beta last week and played with it, but for some reason VMWare Fusion said I didn't have a good enough graphics card for Unity (doubtful) and defaulted to Classic GNOME. Haven't really taken time to troubleshoot why (Accelerated 3D graphics is enabled for the VM, so I know that isn't it). Played with GNOME Shell months ago on a netbook and it ran OK even considering the paltry integrated graphics card. Curious to see which one will turn out to run smoother and faster, but I admit I will miss the simplicity of plain old GNOME Panel. Never was much of a KDE fan, and I guess that's where many will flee who don't like the new-fangled UI's. There's always still Fluxbox for a good window manager that isn't a resource hog and looks nicer than just raw X11. As far as the PSN debacle...I had a PSN account a few years ago, before my PS3 was stolen in a burglary and I never bothered to replace it. I had bought stuff on there before, and though I think the credit card I used for it has since expired and been replaced, I will be watching it like a hawk for the next few months. Seems there's already lowlifes out there trying to sell allegedly stolen CC numbers from the PSN breach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 love it but prefer the classic interface ... unity is rather annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charm_quark Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 well me to i really did not like it, the classic was way better, or maybe i'm just used to it too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibbinut Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Looks good. ;) Going to download it later on today. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrYpTiC Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Unity aside 11.04 is rock solid! Well for Ubuntu. Very minor bugs that you can work around with ease. Video encoding smokes Win7 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foo Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Surprised to see positive comments about 11.04. Not gonna beat around the bush... I think it sucks dog shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapeon Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Not used 11.04 as of yet. Probably stay with ubuntu 10.04 lts for now. Heard a lot of negative feedback about unity. Both in terms of hardware requirements and usability. Tempted to leave Ubuntu for good. It's not linux to me any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexophrenic Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 You can always install server version (or alternate desktop) and not install the GUI through it, then install GUI the way you like it after the fact. Or *gasp* compile the stuff you want yourself and not rely on the 11.04 packages. I realize that is outside the typical ubuntu user's profile, but it would be a useful technical/learning venture. Of course, if you are going to do that, you might as well stick to Debian and not pursue Ubuntu, as you mentioned by switching distros.

abferm Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 is it possible to uninstall unity and replace it with something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbstuntz Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 So just out of interest what do you guys do to secure and lock down your fresh ubuntu install? Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ubuntu 11.04 is really nice, in my opinion it's more user friendly and unity looks really nice :) Also the fast searching through your files and programms is really nice, also quite fast. is it possible to uninstall unity and replace it with something else It's possible but you can also login into the ubuntu classic instead of unity. Ubuntu classic will be the same the other previous version of Ubuntu. However if you really want to uninstall it you can also use: sudo apt-get remove unity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 be warned if you do ^^^^ remove unity you might have problems booting as it's tied into the OS .... just load classic instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
