Are windows resizing in a "smooth way"
like not fucking up the display until you unclick ?
>>53608918
Is Amazon's online suggestions on by default?
>>53608918
move the Launcher to bottom and take screenshot
>>53610468
Yep, smooth as fuck, I have the official nvidia drivers installed though. It's doing some kind of compiz effect, looks fucking nito.
>>53610589
Nah, I think they disabled that shit in 15.04
How do I check though?
>>53610624
k gimme a sec
>>53608918
Can we manage the scroll speed now?
>>53608918
How the fuck have they not released Unity 8 yet?
I thought they initially planned for it to be in 15.04
>>53610624
here faggot nigger
>>53610671
doesn't look like it, it's not in the normal mouse settings at least
>>53610671
actually there's a setting called natural scroll
not sure how it was in 15.10, I've been on Xubuntu for a few years now since everything went to shit, just trying Ubuntu now because it looks like they fixed it up finally
>>53610757
Thank you straight arian
>>53610757
Dock on the bottom looks retarded
I like it so far.
They fixed the HIDPI issue with LightDM.
>>53610682
Unity 8 won't be ready for a while.
>>53610589
It is
>>53610830
>It is
the fuck? how do we turn it off? didn't they disable it in 15.04?
>>53610830
how's the battery life compared to other distros / DEs?
>>53610830
macbook?
>>53610876
That was a typo
*Isn't
Unity Tweak Tool confirms (More Suggestions does nothing)
>>53610896
Slightly better than most DEs that can do HiDPI. Cinnamon reigns supreme in the battery life department while staying HiDPI compatible.
>>53610926
XPS 13
You mean it looks exactly the same than the Ubuntu released 2 years ago, and very similar to the Ubuntu released 4 years ago.
>>53610957
what kernel is it running on? I'm considering switching over from Arch because I want something that just werks and I kinda like the way unity looks and works, but I don't want to deal with (extremely) outdated packages, especially because power management in older kernel versions is kinda shit.
>>53608918
>Will answer questions
what is ubuntu xenon?
>>53611007
nvm I'm blind
>>53611007
4.4.5 I believe
>>53611013
the codename for the newest Ubangoes release, it's sort of like the Android naming scheme, where they recently named Android Niglet as the newest version
>>53611013
Xenial. He fucked up...
>>53611072
What is this xenial you're talking about? The official Ubuntu codename for 16.04 is Ubuntu Xenon Xerxes.
>>53608918
>not using ubuntuBSD master race
>>53610830
Bruh what theme is that? Is that flatabulous? It looks similar. Got a link?
>>53611107
m8 the reason people use BSD is nothing to do with the kernel and everything to do with the userspace tooling and uniformity. using ubuntu with bsd would kinda defeat the original purpose.
>>53608918
>sudo rm -rf /
you might wanna add --no-preserve-root or at least the asterisk
>>53611144
It's the Royal Theme
Extract it from the deb here:
https://www.copy.com/s/t%3A980HxGjfI1sWKHKB%3Bp%3A%252Froyal-gtk-theme_1.0-1_all.deb%3Boid%3A1
>>53611260
Thanks man that theme's fantastic, but I'm still deciding to switch from Flatabulous to that. Gonna do test runs and compare how I feel about them.
How did you get your hands on it op?
>>53611411
Not op, but you can get it here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
>>53611411
He downloaded the .iso from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/xenial-desktop-amd64.iso (direct download link). I'm sticking to 15.10 until it's released then gonna do the apt upgrade.
>>53611260
>still using copy.com
>>53611502
I didn't make the theme
>>53611426
>>53611441
>>53611411
OP here, yes I did just that. Don't use the 'pending' ISO, it was fucked when I tried it. Just use the one in that directory.
>>53611094
Nice one, weak mind!
>>53610814
dock on the side looks retardeder
>>53608918
Any major updates to the LightDM greeter or the boot splash? Not sure if what I saw b4 was just a mockup of how 16.04 could look like or not
>>53611426
>>53611441
A little late but thanks guys.
Is it stable enough to be used as a main os?
>>53612049
probably. I'm just gonna wait for the actual release though before the apt-dist upgrade or whatever it is.
>>53612049
So long as you do not try to use Unity 8, you're fine. I would suggest to wait until release if you depend on ppas that haven't updated for 16.04 yet (some already have luckily)
>>53612094
see
>>53610830
>>53612133
Wait, isn't unity 8 supposed to come with ubuntu 16.04 ?
>>53612133
meant for
>>53612010
>>53612094
That's nice might try it tonight! Do you know if its running mir?
>>53612151
no
>>53612179
It's not
>>53612179
Mir I believe is coming with Unity 8, so I don't think it is.
>>53612179
O shit i didn't see >>53612133. I guess no unity 8 = no mir.
What do I type into konsole to make it do that?
>>53612299
You download screenfetch and then you type screenfetch
Also, for all you people asking when Mir comes out, it will come out with 16.10
>>53612849
as default, but there will be an official ubuntu 16.04 with unity 8 and mir.
I'm glad they didn't go with unity 8 as default in this LTS
>>53612299
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/master/screenfetch-dev && chmod +x screenfetch-dev && ./screenfetch-dev
>>53612929
It's still nowhere near polished too.
>Obviously made for phones in mind
>HiDPI scaling method for mir on desktop isn't ported yet
>Buggy as hell
Among other problems
>>53608918
> looking okay
640*480 only in my iLO console, that's a regression. It's really good with SSH and mc, tho. Transferring my 1,5TB of NTFS data to another HDD over 1Gb/s network running 16.04 right now.
>>53610757
wtf can this be done now?!
15.10 is fucked in virtualbox. Can't get it to boot. Just sits at a purple screen
>>53612929
Same. I actually really like Unity 7 in it's current state. It's nice to have an LTS with it.
>>53613850
kek'd
>>53608918
Nice too see they haven't even bothered to update the shitty iconset they have been using since 2010.
>>53610757
can you please the reduce the launcher icon size?
OP here, back now
>>53612010
Looks much the same as before, i.e. 15.10
>>53612049
Depends what for, but it hasn't crashed yet, Ubuntu is usually stable as fuck
>>53612929
Didn't realize this, you mean I can use it now?
>>53612299
there's a screenfetch package now, so sudo apt-get install screenfetch
>>53614133
I agree, it's pretty ugly, hopefully there will be a way to theme it but I've been on xubuntu so long I've forgotten how
>>53614200
okay friendo
>>53614200
>>53608918
Did they implement the zfs yet? My guess is no.
>>53614705
now put the launcher to the bottom again
>>53611962
Dock on the bottom takes up horizontal screen space. With widescreen monitors, side dock makes more sense.
>>53614837
Do I look like a fucking kids TV show presenter
>>53614978
Actually for home users there's not much of a difference, any video will still be the wrong size no matter how wide your screen is. I like to have the dock at the bottom and that's where I'm used to having it. If you have many icons pinned it also looks better than side dock where the last icons are stacked.
>>53615470
don't act like you have better things to do
>>53610757
Just this alone makes me want to install it.
>>53610957
is MATE not HiDPI?
DAILY REMINDER TO USE MATE OR GNOME INSTEAD OF UNITY
JUST BECAUSE UNITY IS LESS SHIT THAN IT USED TO BE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT SHIT AT ALL
>>53616054
>Gnome
>not the absolute worst bullshit of all time
>>53616083
it's easlily one of the best. It's a DE that stays out of your way and is feature complete. For desktop use it's unbeatable
>>53616099
As my opinion, even though you may think it's wrong, I prefer Unity over all the other DE's.
>>53616099
Please, don't be so sarcastic on 4chan. You are scaring the children.
>>53616205
that's only because you prefer your DE to be less cutomizable, slower, more bloated, and less user friendly
>>53616054
>not tearing out unity and replacing it with a window manager instead of a DE
LOL :D
>>53616365
> not downloading the server iso so you don't have to tear things out
It's like you want to make more work for yourself.
>>53612972
How do you faggots remember all that stuff or do you make scripts that adds all the URLs for the different applications?
>>53616365

did not know this was a thing until now!!
>>53619109
that's one of the new 'features'
honestly unity is ok, but for a better customization experience, you should look elsewhere.
>>53608918
Please post a screenfetch screenshot immediately after a fresh boot (I want to know RAM use with an uptime of less than a minute)

Yeah it was an 866MHz Pentium 3, but I think the same case was used for Pentium 2s as well. Got it for free from work. Had to superglue standoffs in place of some odd clip things, but now ATX boards mount right in. I think its neat-o
Just installed on my wife's son's desktop
