- naszaklasa, on 07/20/2008, -1/+892. better Flash experience
digg for that - inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+70I look forward for the day Flash in Linux is not an issue anymore.
- misterhektik, on 07/20/2008, -2/+61There were 1s and 0s everywhere...and..and...I think I saw a 2.
- Hedgecore, on 07/20/2008, -6/+50... so 12 things?
- Checkerd, on 07/20/2008, -2/+40Because his 12 key is broken...
- diggdiggdug, on 07/19/2008, -11/+40Intrepid Ibex Windows Wrecker
Hopefully sooner rather than later - mrsteveman1, on 07/20/2008, -2/+25Hopefully that day will be when web developers find something better to use and tell Adobe to ***** a duck.
On the other hand, until that happens, Ubuntu and all the others should be removing any possible problems for users to get up and running, even with proprietary plug-ins like flash, because most users don't care about the freedom issues at hand, they just want it to work, and they will install it anyway, so might as well make it easy. Doesn't mean it has to come on the disk or be enabled by default, but it shouldn't be hard either, that just annoys people and gives Linux a bad name. - jmantra, on 07/20/2008, -1/+19you don't say...
- peestandingup, on 07/20/2008, -1/+17Dugg for the Futurama reference.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+16+1 more -- ***** of drivers that come with Linux 2.6.26. Many of Hauppauge HDTV cards are supported in 2.6.26 like the WinTV 1600
- hungryduck, on 07/20/2008, -1/+16When did operating systems become not technology?
- keyo, on 07/20/2008, -5/+19I think this guy has figured out digg's algorithm...
if ( title.match(.*top.* 10.*list.*) == true ) {
. putTopOfPage(true);
}
hence simply putting 12 would obviously not work.
This is my (10 - 9)th post today! - inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+14Yes. w/ WINE. Perfectly.
- theaceoffire, on 07/20/2008, -1/+14Set up a normal account, go to system, admin, login window,
Click security, and put in your info to have it auto-login.
Its not the same, but it is useful. - sumguy231, on 07/20/2008, -0/+12The latest Flash 10 beta indeed fixes this problem, though apparently only if you have Firefox 3. According to the Adobe Flash for Linux blog, some excess crashing is due to Firefox bugs that are also being worked on.
- balliano, on 07/20/2008, -0/+12AFAIR in the full spec there are all the reasons why a passwordless account is unsafe while this new guest approach will be better (just one, the guest account will be locked-down for disk access)
- kimmik, on 07/20/2008, -1/+13Really??
- laelfrog, on 07/20/2008, -0/+11How about in October '08 .... 8.10
- thecheatah, on 07/20/2008, -3/+14One thing that pisses me off with linux is that you cant draw html things on top of flash :-. the new flash 10 is suppose to allow you to do that, but the beta still doesnt :-. I dont think there ever going to, I dont know why.
- balliano, on 07/20/2008, -1/+12i agree, firefox is the software i use the most and most of the websites out there have flash contents so we really need a better flash experience!
- balliano, on 07/20/2008, -0/+11heheh yes but 2 are in "maybe" cause the blueprint are tagged as "low priority" thus could also not be completed
- Boktai1000, on 07/20/2008, -0/+10You can already download a flash 10 plug-in for linux, although it is beta but id say the pros outweigh the cons compared to flash 9.
- neko, on 07/20/2008, -1/+10The only game you enjoy, Trolling, is cross-platform.
- phoenixp3k, on 07/20/2008, -1/+9Dugg for Guest account support + all the rest are pretty good improvements too.
- PhailQuail, on 07/20/2008, -1/+9Yes, it has been able to for a long time.
- leejarratt, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8Ubuntu for life, I cringe when I use a Windows based computer now lol.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7i like the guest login idea thing
that will come in handy when family comes over - Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 07/19/2008, -2/+9What?
- balliano, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7i saw it working with flash 10 beta2 just a few days ago but i went back to flash 9 because of the crashes...
- zwaldowski, on 07/20/2008, -1/+8#13: Save $300 on Vista Ultimate and buy a ***** Xbox.
- stuffradio, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Nope, he doesn't... :|
- bigteebo, on 07/20/2008, -10/+17I just spent over an hour getting the resolution BACK to 1024x768 though xorg.conf & trial & error. It should NEVER take this long. It should NEVER be this much of a hassle. The "Screen resolution" under System >> preferences is 100% useless. It's like an option list of resolutions you DON'T want. this is an old Micron monitor, naturally not listed in the monitor database.
And don't get me started with trying to get things to authenticate in Samba. - drato, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7@Awspire
I don't fully agree wtih Retro either, but you sound like even more of an idiot when you spew off ***** about how bad WINE is. I'm not saying WINE is by any means perfect, or can be considered a drop-in replacement for windows, but the stuff the project has accomplished is pretty impressive, and while it may not run every Windows application flawlessly, it does do pretty well with many different applications. - inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Because we are all "Wanking Walruses". That's why.
- Chalks777, on 07/20/2008, -2/+8"I guess I just have better things to do than sit in front of a computer."
*COUGH 266 words on digg ranting about an OS COUGH* - bagboyrebel, on 07/20/2008, -1/+7I've done it numerous times.
- blueplanet, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6That sounds pretty good, maybe I'll finally buy Ubuntu on BestBuy.com for the low low price of $20
- giruzz, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6Automatic download of printer drivers
digg for that.
It takes 1hrs to make a printer (Canon) working on Ubuntu 8.04.
Canon, listen to me, could you please make a decent driver for Ubuntu? - talonh, on 07/20/2008, -1/+7#11 the ability to play like no new windows viruses. There fixed it for you, because one cliched and overused comment deserves another.
- Dohko_Xar, on 07/20/2008, -1/+71 of 2 times I enter Youtube or a site with flash, Firefox crashes... what's up with that?
- veriix, on 07/20/2008, -1/+7How about making it easy to make shares on NTFS partitions? I've missed that feature since 7.10
- peestandingup, on 07/20/2008, -1/+6No one is responsible for it in the end. Thats a major problem with most people right there.
- UntoDarkness, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5Flash working perfectly on Ubuntu would be great! They could also improve on their Boot time... It is painfully slow compared to my Windows XP installation.
Good to see that it is also getting a new graphic installer! Let's see how it compares to the one on openSUSE 11. - Retrospekt, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5Nothing very special. Ubuntu always worked fine for me and this list of 10 doesn't affect me much.
The best one would probably be Printer drivers. Maybe I can get my network printer working... - Vadi0, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5I actually play Civ 4 fine in Ubuntu. Can't speak about the rest of the games though, didn't even bother trying them (no linux version of the game, and I'm not that interested bother).
As for Ubuntu QA, a new team was formed just for this, http://qa.ubuntu.com/ help out if you feel like it. - jonrobenator, on 07/20/2008, -0/+4While I know taking and sharing is how open source works, I think it's important to give people due credit for the work they do. With that in mind, from this list the following features have been present in the last few Fedora releases, as well as developed by Fedora:
* 3G networking
* Automatic download of printer drivers
* Font selector (don't know if this will be the same tool, but it definitely exists in Fedora and thus upstream Gnome)
* Installation from a USB stick (since Fedora 7 - and Fedora will create a live USB stick with persistence!)
* Identity management and network authentication - did anyone here see FreeIPA? Why, once again, is Ubuntu re-inventing the wheel instead of working with the rest of the free software community?
* PackageKit - default in Fedora 9 and developed by a Fedora community member
* New installer artwork - every release for Fedora
I'm not complaining, but the last round of releases saw a less stable Ubuntu and a more stable Fedora for many people, despite the more bleeding edge nature of Fedora. Just trying to provide some balance! - Retrospekt, on 07/20/2008, -1/+5I've used WINE hundreds of times, thank you. It works great.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+4HE IS A LIAR!
- r4ge, on 07/20/2008, -0/+4sudo mkdir /mnt/smbshare ; sudo mount -t [smbfs/cifs] -o username=guest password=guest //192.168.1.2/sharename /mnt/smbshare
Dont forget to escape spaces in your share names
alternately
in the address bar of your file browser
smb://netbios-name
You gotta remember linux is still more of a server operating system than anything :) - Tenoq, on 07/20/2008, -2/+6I lol'ed hard. You mean like spending 5 years polishing an OS release that still broke HUNDREDS of drivers? :p
