Kubuntu or Ubuntu????
too many bugs with Kubuntu, and some how I feel kubuntu is slow and eating too much ram now downloading Ubuntu

 

[viralbug]

Great. I'll also download it tonight.

Question, Kubuntu or Ubuntu?

 

[Yondaime]

Great. I'll also download it tonight.

Question, Kubuntu or Ubuntu?

Kubuntu is totally bugged and takes too much of RAM as I said
Idle time ram usage:500 mb

Guys, Just installed Lucid Lynx....!! It's great. FF in it is blazing fast

 

[viralbug]

Hmmm are the bugs being faced by everyone?

I'll be downloading both anyways. Just have to decide which to install first.

Just downloaded it yesterday and burned it in the CD.

Waiting for tomorrow so that my monthly limit of 2.5 GB gets renewed, i'll be updating existing version of 9.10 in my Notebook...

Umm...do a fresh install. Upgrading usually entails waiting a long time and makes the system buggy. True story.

gwibber doesn't show general Timelines !!

 

[Dark Star]

Darn it ! Had to postpone the download Wil do that by Sunday Today is something more hectic and challenging for me.. Glad I am up for it

Use Tweet Deck

 

[krishnandu]

Yup the gwibber is buggy.

 

[Yondaime]

Use Tweet Deck

tweet deck doesn't support Identi.ca
I loved choqok. It was the best client I ever came across so far, but some how KDE 4.4 on kubuntu looked drudged !
Ubuntu is much faster than Kubuntu !
after my sem exams I will try installing Arch

Bleh..ditch twitter.
Anyway....I used Lucid last night for about 30 minutes. Installation was a breeze, everything worked fine, the interface looks slick (of course I am late to the party...was constantly hovering my cursor around the top right corner instead of the left) and I got bored easily. Also, didn't find it necessary to install the Nvidia blob (its a different story though...that I actually couldn't...forgot to install the headers)...Nouveau worked fine although the performance isn't free of jitter.

Seems like I am gonna stick with 9.10 as long as it serves me. By 10.10 there should be enough upgrades to get rid of current install.

To restor orginal button layout, just run the following command.

$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Heh...thanks. Somehow I feel I now belong to the lazy tux club.

Bah...downloading the netbook edition now.

Can anyone tell me how big is the Restricted Codec pack which includes the codecs for playing MP3, xvid, divx, DVD's etc ?

I am on dial-up now and so need to know the file size before I decide to download it.
