Ubuntu Gnome or Mate?
I'm so confused.
>no Cubuntu
Dropped
What do the flavors look like?
>>54153873
Click the links to see. All look different
These servers are fast as fuck
I'll snag Xubuntu later
Too bad no cinnamon flavors
>>54153822
It's literally preference on which DE you like.
>>54153982
I've never used both but I normal Ubuntu is slow as shit.
>>54154005
Watch YT videos comparing the two. Or if you already have a Ubuntu install somewhere just install both DEs and see which you like.
Gnome feels "wonky" to me tho tbch.
Busy making my bootable USB stick. I have yesterday's version. It should update during installation.
Shit's going FAST
Why should I upgrade, whats the bonus?
>>54153841
All buntus are cuckbuntus 2bh family
Kylin looks confy as fuck.
>When returning from lock, the cursor disappears on the desktop, you can bring the cursor back with Ctrl+Alt+F1 followed by Ctrl+Alt+F7
Why would it be released with a bug as bad as that?
>>54154578
It's probably gnome's fault (again).
Hey people, quick question.
I installed 16.04, like a week back. So, is today's release different from my current version. And can I upgrade to today's release automatically?
>>54154097
>i368
What are you installing it on? A potato?
>>54154780
Yes, it's just bug fixes. It should update itself automatically
>>54154784
5 year old AMD laptop :DDDDDD
>>54154829
Thanks, I read that the kernel has been updated to 4.4.6
uname -a on my machine still gives 4.4.0 and this is after dist-upgrading, any solutions? Or have I got something wrong?
>>54154909
Just wait.
already upgrading my distribution dont need these OP is a massive faggot fore assuming i do and needs to kill himself
>>54154522
literal chinese govt commie botnet, don't do it
>>54154845
It should be 64-bit....
There's literally no reason to use the 32-bit version if you don't have to.
I use Xubuntu but it's not giving me the option to upgrade. I changed from 'any new version' to 'LTS' in the Software Updated but nothing changed. What do I do?
>>54155066
upgrade to arch
>>54155066
Install Gentoo
>>54154522
it's literally obongo in chinese. how can that be comfy?
>>54155130
he probably thinks its japanese
he is a bit retarded
>>54155023
Already on that
>>54155066
It's best to do a clean install. They probably don't want everyone updating at the same time due to server overload.
>>54155130
>it's literally obongo in chinese. how can that be comfy?
It has Chinese apps that aren't installed on the rest of the world versions and you can choose English during the installation. I've run a previous version before.
is it only me, or standard ubuntu comes with 7.x unity and you have to install unity 8 by yourself? i tried to update DE but it crashes every time i log in with unity 8. older version works fine.
>>54155158
can rufus even into multiboot?
>>54155246
Unity 8 is only a preview m8. Not released in 16.04 at all.
>>54155247
what can into multiboot?
Warning, if you use gdm3 it might make your system unbootable. You'll need to chroot and change it to lightdm.
>>54155305
yumi
Never used Ubuntu before, always been on Fedora/Arch/Gentoo
Does xubuntu come with the Amazon spyware or is that just unity?
>>54155335
Just Unitt, although I'm not sure if Ubuntu comes with SELinux instead of apparmor if you are concerned with privacy
>>54155334

>>54153671
I already downloaded the Ubuntu MATE iso and now I'm seeding. 2.2 ratio so far.
>>54153822
Is your computer 10 years old?
If yes then install Mate.
Otherwise install Gnome.

right in the middle of the site there is as false download button meant to trick new or inexperienced users into downloading someones shitware instead of the software they came for
Just upgraded from ubuntu gnome running MATE (gnome shell became extremely resource hungry for no reason).
Might do a clean install during the weekend but not shure which flavor to get.
Unity is confy af, but i'm afraid my old athlon 64 x2 with 2gb wont be able to handle it well. I just use it a a media center and ocasional fb machine and do 80% of stuff from my couch using unified remote from my phone.
What do /g/? Pls halp
>>54155483
Are you retarded?
If yes then install Gnome.
Otherwise install Mate.
FTFY
>>54155247
No. Its basically just a better unetbootin.
>>54155486
No there isn't.
>>54155335
No version of Ubuntu comes with Amazon anything
>>54155513
i literally just saw it it might not load every time but just the fact they dont vet their ads to be sure it never happens is enough for me not ot use them i will not support that
>>54154005
I usually use MATE, but have GNOME installed also. GNOME just feels really weird and sluggish in comparison, and it's less modular. The real advantage of MATE is that you can be quite flexible with how you set it up.
I use a setup with a bottom launcher and a panel up top with information, notifications and the classic menu which has applications, places and system settings in it. I really like being able to access everything quickly and easily. I also use compiz for advanced window management and such. It's really comfy.
If you want something else, you can also just have it look like KDE or Windows or whatever and use Marco, which is a low-resource window manager.
>>54155529
There sure as fuck no ads in the middle of the page, only on the edges, so I don't get what are you complaining about. I don't care either way, this conversation should not have even happened.
>>54154845
All AMD processors have been x64 for over a decade
>>54155559
then what the fuck is this?
>>54153671
why is pic all in asian?
>>54155584
Something I don't have
Something that is still an obvious ad to anyone who's been on the internet for 10 minutes
>ads by google
>>54155652
you might think that but alot of people would be fooled by it they either need to get rid of it or i cannot ethically use their software

why did they kick that kubuntu dev
linuxfags. how do I get a searchable list of special characters and emoji on kubuntu like I do on a macbook?

Should I install it with UEFI or Legacy? So mbr or gpt?
>>54155676
You seem very protective of the idiots.
Anyway use what you want, I'm not your mum. If I knew an alternative I'd use it.

>>54155684
Because he wasn't SJW enough.
>>54153822
Both shit.
Use KDE.
>>54155684
bcs Kubuntu is so shitty it gave KDE a bad rep, its nearly unusable and a slugish bugfest. Last time I tried it not only did it crash constantly, but error messages gave me more error messages and the whole thing froze
DebÃan experimental was more stable than that piece of crap
Is the upgrade bug fixed? Can I upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 now?
Please provide source, you will all realize how hard it is to trust someone on 4chins..
i can finally put this stupid fucking bar on the bottom of the desktop where it belongs
>>54156046
You couldn't before?
>>54156046
10/10 best update ever. Now if only it could display program names, be smaller, have a top-bar display that wasn't puke-inducing, allows not integrating the program menu into the top of the screen (which prevents focus-follows-mouse and other paradigms) and had a non-shit programs menu...
Can someone explain to me why Ubuntu seems to have a separate "sub-distro" for every WM/DE there is? How is, say, Kubuntu any different from Generic Ubuntu + apt-get install kde? This is a genuine question, I've been on Debian exclusively since last century.
>>54156085
>>54156085
not on 15.10 no tool had the option to do so and i am not even sure where the unity config file is
>>54156134
Shit has different preinstalled shit.
Using lubuntu cause fuck bloat but also fuck doing everything from scratch.
>>54156134
>Kubuntu any different from Generic Ubuntu + apt-get install kde
it isn't
Kubuntu is the same as installing ubuntu, removing all the gnome and unity crap off there and installing KDE + kprograms
Is the Amazon stuff in the official Ubuntu gone now, as I heard was the case? If so then I might finally try that out along with getting Xubuntu.
How is 16.04 with HiDPI screens? Having some awful scaling issues when using 1440p on my X1 Carbon. I can use 1080p, but why would I?
>>54156398
Any version other than vanilla Ubuntu never had the Amazon search built in
But yes, it is turned off by default
>>54156398
No still there, just toggled off
the fucking xubuntu installer is broken. what a fucking clownshow. it get most of the way through and then the grub install fails. what a pain in the ass.
>>54156398
>>54156548
>oh no Canonical will now know I use the dash to launch the caluclator
does 16.04 ship with SELinux or apparmor?
i installed ubuntu the way i'm used to (avoiding grub as main os menu)
but ubuntu entry didn't show up this time
any windows software to make it show up (edit bios/uefi menu)
>>54156590
No.
Use Fedora if you want that kind of stuff.
>>54156590
Supposedly apparmor is installed out of the box
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/apparmor.html
>AppArmor is installed and loaded by default
Fuck i just installed 15.04 yesterday
>>54153671
i'll have to update my servers and PCs this weekend
>>54156649

>>54155523
Not true. 16.04 unity has amazon built in
>>54156095
>>caring this much about unity
So far I've tested Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome.
Lubuntu, comfy and snappy.
Kubuntu, probably the best overall, but I don't KDE much.
Ubuntu, Unity is still a disaster
Ubuntu Gnome, 3.18 fixes a lot of stupid bugs, but if you don't like Gnome 3 there is nothing there for you.
I just love Ubuntu 16.04.
Installed it ( took 5 minutes )
Opened an app - installed latest nvidia driver and microcodes for processor.
Libre office was able to open my latest word documents and full format was shown there - this means that Libre seems to be enough for me - all features are included, the PDF document viewer works fine, I Like basically all the default software.
And If I ever have to open some retarded formated document, going to make an onedrive account and use the free preview...
Good shit m8. Smooth as fuck.
What sorcery is it? It works much more better than 14.04
What happens to packages no longer supported by canonical? Should I delete them?
>>54156095
>If only it was K/L/X/Mate Ubuntu
>>54157467
>if only it wasn't pants-on-head retarded
FTFY
>>54157365
And you missed the best one.. Xubuntu lol.
But I guess nothing changes too much with it. although I know they changed some packages around
>>54157460
Bump
>>54156046
You sure like Doom
PLS BE GOOD I DON'T WANT TO REGRET IT
>>54158564
Should be fine anon. but desu. I am all for fresh installs and formats. Just a much better feel.
But I was always lucky with upgrades as well
>>54157409
Never had luck with microcode stuff. either opensource driver or whatever NVIDIA
I know that micro code tanked my PC a couple times when I had AMD
So I have an AMD e350 APU with a HD6310 GPU I really haven't messed around with linux much on it. What driver should I be using? The additional drivers dialog box says no drivers are available and lsmod says im using radeon. I assume thats the open source driver. Is this what I should be using?
>>54158962
hold on im an idiot I dont have internet plugged in ill report back in a minute
>>54153671
HOLY FUCK THAT DOWNLOAD WAS FAST

i want to berry my dick in that color scheme
>>54159202

>>54159250
Yeah they recently redid the whole theme and it looks really nice.
How did you install it? What's the best way? Linux newb here
>>54159300
meant >>54159259
>>54159300
You add the Numix Theme PPA with this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa
Then you update your sources with this command:
sudo apt-get update
Then you install the Numix Circle Icons, Numix GTK+ Theme, and the unity tweak tool with this command:
sudo apt-get install numix-icon-theme-circle numix-gtk-theme unity-tweak-tool
And finally you open the unity tweak tool with this command:
unity-tweak-tool
Then you go under, "Theme" and select "Numix."
Also if you want the icons you go to the Icons tab and select "Numix-Circle"
>>54154578
>>54154637
Remember when the fucking monitor size and position didnt survive a reset and went back to defaults all the time?

Why the hell are you against the things you like?
You know that isn't healthy right?
anyone know if there is a minmali iso available yet can't find it
>>54159663
Just install the Server Image I don't know if there is any distinguishable difference between that and the minimal ISO.
Also the minimal ISO doesn't support UEFI so you're probably better off with the server image anyways.
how to install gnome shell
>>54159723
sudo apt-get install gnome
>>54159723
You install Ubuntu GNOME.
Can someone post the default process list after boot?
>>54159038
What's your theme/s anon? Is that compton?
>>54159807
Nope
How's MATE these days?
>>54159849
It still looks like GNOME 2
ayyy
>>54159849
bloated mess that usually performs worse than xfce
the only thing going for it is out of the box compiz support for tear free video
compton seems a bit buggy at the moment
plus, I don't really trust the Mint devs anymore
Only thing that stopped working so far was dockbarx.
>>54159835
Looks good anon. Did you do any modifications to the theme or is it like that out of the box. I am always impressed how xfce continues to look decent compared to all the other gimmicks other new DEs are throwing around.
>>54159380
apt-get is deprecated just use apt
>>54159945
It still works why do you care.
>>54159849
really really liking it after some customizing.
but i say the same thing with gnome 3.
don't notice the bad performance the other anon talks about and i'm using it on my thinkpad x200 with an ssd and 6 gb of RAM.
trying the mutiny setup again after the update.
>>54159902
No modifications besides setting the window decorations to 70% transparency and popup windows to 50%
>>54159953
[spoiler]apt output is prettier[/spoiler]
>>54159867
plus the guy that had a package for compton for 15.10 pulled it. I dont think there is a package for 16.04 at all.
>>54159957
MY EYES!
If I want to try KDE as a DE (migrating from Cinnamon) Kubuntu is a bad idea right? I should wait for Neon or just try Arch or Opensuse, right?
>>54159993
Kubuntu is the closest thing you can get to a vanilla KDE distribution.
>>54159990
might not be for everyone i agree, but it passes the only test that matters.
that it werks for me.
>>54160004
But I heard it was a shitty implementation that forced the lead KDE dev to leave or be booted. From what I hear Opensuse has the best KDE implementation right now with plasma 5.5
>>54153671
Lol xenial has been out for ages now. One of my laptops is on beta 2 right now.
>>54160017
That's really FUD Kubuntu years ago did have the shittiest implementation however starting with 13.10 they began just shipping default KDE pretty much.
>>54160036
thanks for beta testing anon, appreciate it
>>54160046
thanks kde-anon, i'll try the live distro tonight. I am also thinking of waiting for manjaro kde 16.06 which will have plasma 5.6 OOTB
>Ubuntu 16.04 LTS does not support the AMD Catalyst (fglrx) driver for AMD/ATI graphics cards and instead recommends the free software radeon and amdgpu alternatives. These may not provide optimal graphics performance, however.
yes.... this will please our lord RMS
>>54160065
Thank Christ that Canonical has stopped taking shit from AMD for being the laziest pieces of shit with their proprietary Linux graphics drivers.
Those lazy shits have been holding back graphics development in the Ubuntu stack for years.
There's no Minimal CD for 16.04 available yet. I prefer to do the Minimal CD Netinstall.
http://en.miui.com/forum-50-1.html

always stopped me using it as uefi is a bit better
>>54160562
Wrong paste https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
>you still have to reboot before programs show up in Unity dash
baka
>>54160065
The fglrx driver from canonical never worked anyway.
Install fglrx from AMD's website instead if you really want it.
>>54160562
They dropped minimal a while ago.
Use the server ISO.
If you guys haven't started yet, you should start using sudo apt install or sudo apt update "X" instead of sudo apt-get install.
You not only have to type less shit but you also get a cool graphical progress bar.
>>54160960
>tfw apt autoremove now works
never using apt-get ever again
The installer encountered an error copying files to hard disk: [Errn5] input/output
What tool can I use to burn the iso to the usb stick to avoid this error?
>>54160969
It's hard for me to switch because I've gotten so used to using apt-get so much it just comes out as second nature.
>>54160999
just format the flash drive as fat 32 and use 7zip to extract the iso to the root of the drive.
If you have UEFI I know this works for sure however I'm not sure if it works on Legacy BIOS machines.
>>54160969
Wish there was a way for ubuntu to have an even shorter apt command, similar to pacman in Arch.
sudo apt -u or sudo apt -i "blahblahblah" would be great.
>>54161005
Try to fight it
>>54160999
If you have a android smartphone just use a app called drivedroid to boot and install Ubuntu. Just put the ISO on your phone and instantly boot it.
"Burning" the iso to USB sticks became too annoying to me.
