As a long time Ubuntu user (my first version was Feisty Fawn, I think… That’s over 3 years ago), one of my biggest issues has been Flash. If you use Windows, you might wonder why, but if you use another OS, like Mac OS or any Linux distribution, you know the problem. In the beginning days of YouTube, when you wanted to see a video ‘fullscreen’, the video just opened in a new, bigger window [...]
Like many of you already know from reading this site, I run Ubuntu. I’m open for lots of things, and always looking the new, and that’s why I am running Ubuntu now, just like I ran Windows 7 months before it’s release. One of the new things I had to try was the new Google Chrome for Linux, and it’s neat. It installs and updates easily, the skins fit good in my (dark) theme, it’s [...]
Well, over the last few weeks I’ve had slow internet on my Ubuntu as long as I can remember. That started when I switched to 9.04, and the issue was still there in Ubuntu 9.10. Something you need to know though is that I live with my girlfriend for a few months now, and ever since I live here, I had the problem. So I found a few posts on the Ubuntu Forums that gave [...]
Well, after my last post, here’s a follow-up I don’t like the new packagemanager in Ubuntu 9.10 at all, so I’m going to tell you how to get the older one back, in only a few steps! First of all, open your Ubuntu Softwarecenter Then, choose System Utilities Type in Add/Remove Double click Add/Remove Software Press Install Well, you now got it back. You can find it under System => Manage => Add/Remove Software I [...]
Oh my word… You’re going to shoot me… 8 days, how do I dare. Well, I’ve been running Ubuntu for a while now, and I thought I’d review the newest version 9.10, Karmic Koala. First of all, this version of Ubuntu should boot up faster, but on my PC, which runs the AMD64 version, it’s hard to notice any difference at all. Ofcourse I didn’t use a timer though to measure it. One of the [...]
As you might have noticed (because of my club Ubuntu, probably), I am a fan of linux. Especially Ubuntu, because that was the first, and till today, the only flavor of Ubuntu I’ve ever run. I tried Debian and consorts though on servers, but on my own PC’s, I only used Ubuntu, and that has got a simple reason: it’s fantastic. Ofcourse, the colors are ugly, but for the rest it’s okay. And, it’s easier [...]
