Experimental 3D acceleration via OpenGL. Don’t get too excited about 3D acceleration yet. For now only OpenGL on a 32-bit Windows guest is supported. DirectX support is planned, which means that 3D gaming in a VM could become possible. New Host Interface Networking implementations for Windows and Linux hosts with easier setup Ubuntu Privacy Remix (UPR) Live-CD based on Ubuntu Linux. Not meant to be installed on hard disk Goal is provide an isolated, working environment where private data can be dealt with safely.

Show Notes: Ubuntu 8.10 is out! Ubuntu Georgia 8.10 Installfest, November 8th, 2008, at Emory, Atlanta, GA. Order your Ubuntu 8.10 CDs from ShipIt Matt Zimmerman, Canonical CTO has an interesting post about bugs In September, over 7800 bugs were filed 99% were resolved, either duplicates, fixed, invalid, etc. Of course, there are still 46,000 open bugs still Funny comments left on the blog: some saying Windows and Macs do better Of course, I would like someone to tell me what the bug count is in Microsoft and Apples bug trackers. Oh wait, they won’t release any of that info. One comment was how there shouldn’t be upgrades, just updates. Like how people have XP on their machines for years. The terms upgrades and updates are probably used too loosely. Multiple service packs over the years are huge and make lots of changes. Ubuntu get slower? Phoronix did some tests But its not really Ubuntu’s fault, looks like some of the upstream projects are the issue Might be related to some video driver issues, compiler changes, and general kernel stuff Phoronix tested with Fedora and also a slow down between 7 and upcoming 10. Mark Shuttleworth does interview with media and analysts Canonical isn’t in the black yet Employees over 120 people Will probably require a few more years of funding But there is lots of revenue coming in Can Ubuntu survive without Canonical? Are the community processes in place if something like that ever happened? 8 million users, but now knows for sure since there is no “call-home” option like some other OSs 8.10 includes a totem plugin to play BBC audio, has support for video as well when its available Only plays the DRM-free stuff and some of it is restricted to the UK, but still pretty snazzy Spread Ubuntu Alpha .1 - a Do-It-Yourself marketing material repository Obama campaign using Ubuntu?

Ultamatix, successor to Automatix released - it basically installs applications and commonly-used audio and video codecs. Some of the applications might not be free or might having licensing issues Or sometimes no one has gotten around to putting them into the repositories yet. AX was very controversial. When it started out, made it easier for new Ubuntu users. But it would tended to cause people lots of pain eventually during upgrades. Matt Zimmerman, Ubuntu CTO, said “I cannot recommend the use of this program, and systems where it has been used cannot be supported with a clean and official upgrade path.” Matthew Garrett, who was on the Ubuntu Technical Board at the time, took a look at AX: “In its current form Automatix is actively dangerous to systems - ranging from damage to small items of user configuration, through removing user-installed packages without adequate prompting or warning and up to the (small but existing) potential to leave a system in an unbootable state.” They were asked to work with Ubuntu developers, but not much progress was made. Eventually Automatix got sold off and there was no release for 8.04 Ultamatix - Not done by the AX people Ultamatix creator says he tried to fix the problems that Automatix had - Its been pointed out that Ultimatix uses apt force-yes options: from man pages of force-yes: “This is a dangerous option that will cause apt to continue without prompting if it is doing something potentially harmful. It should not be used except in very special situations. Using force-yes can potentially destroy your system!” It seems like when people are reviewing it, they are not looking under the hood. Specifically, a certain linux.com article which was a rave review of Ultamatix. Linux pre-installed on 2.8% of machines sold in the UK since Vista has been released. Might not seem like a big deal, but its big news since it jumped from .1% Full Circle Magazine #15 is out.

Good thing of having only one Launchpad is being able to file bugs properly. Say someone files a bug in Ubuntu that is really in MySQL, its easy to assign the bug over to MySQL. Once open sourced, you’ll see lots of different Launchpads pop up and the collaborative nature will become tougher. Ardour screencasts - Ubuntu UK team is in the process of doing a 13-part series on mixing a podcast with Ardour: So far discussed: setting up environment arranging tracks adding music, cool effects like fading in and out compression filters If you have problems listening to the ogg or mp3 on the webpage, please try downloading it.

Good thing of having only one Launchpad is being able to file bugs properly. Say someone files a bug in Ubuntu that is really in MySQL, its easy to assign the bug over to MySQL. Once open sourced, you’ll see lots of different Launchpads pop up and the collaborative nature will become tougher. Ardour screencasts - Ubuntu UK team is in the process of doing a 13-part series on mixing a podcast with Ardour: So far discussed: setting up environment arranging tracks adding music, cool effects like fading in and out compression filters If you have problems listening to the ogg or mp3 on the webpage, please try downloading it. tag:odeo.com,2008-08-02,23257114 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:41:00 -0700 no Ubuntu Podcast podcast, videocast, ubuntu, Ubuntu Vidcast, Ubuntu podcast ubuntu Linux Open Source Locos Unix Open Source News Conanical Hardy Heron http://odeo.com/episodes/23484086-Ubuntu-Podcast-Episode-3 Josh is on vacation this week, down in Destin, probably having way too much fun.

When it started out, made it easier for new Ubuntu users. But it would tended to cause people lots of pain eventually during upgrades. Matt Zimmerman, Ubuntu CTO, said “I cannot recommend the use of this program, and systems where it has been used cannot be supported with a clean and official upgrade path.” Matthew Garrett, who was on the Ubuntu Technical Board at the time, took a look at AX: “In its current form Automatix is actively dangerous to systems - ranging from damage to small items of user configuration, through removing user-installed packages without adequate prompting or warning and up to the (small but existing) potential to leave a system in an unbootable state.” They were asked to work with Ubuntu developers, but not much progress was made. Eventually Automatix got sold off and there was no release for 8.04 Ultamatix - Not done by the AX people Ultamatix creator says he tried to fix the problems that Automatix had - Its been pointed out that Ultimatix uses apt force-yes options: from man pages of force-yes: “This is a dangerous option that will cause apt to continue without prompting if it is doing something potentially harmful. It should not be used except in very special situations. Using force-yes can potentially destroy your system!” It seems like when people are reviewing it, they are not looking under the hood.
