Ubuntu impressions

After a long time I decided to change the linux distribution. I did so after the problems with the apt-get and update of the debian linux distribution (sid). I downloaded the iso image of ububntu linux version 6.10, burned the image and installed.

 

The installation was completed without any problem. Ok, I am not a big fan of the Gnome environment, but it looked very good and was very user-friendly. Anyway.. I wanted my KDE desktop environment that I am more used to. One issue I discovered was, that I could not specify the proxy server within the graphical package-manager tool. I made the workaround and added the proxy support to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu manually. The apt-get install kde was a piece of cake then. Unfortunatelly, I did not find the working midnight commander (mc), so I had to download one myself. I also tried the XGL and the Beryl window manager, and the 3D effects, sticky transfluent windows were really impressive. So I am really glad that it worked very well. Another thing in which was ubuntu better than my previous installation of debian sid - the new hardware recognition, mass storage devices, wizards and so on.. One thing I had to change were the sources the packages: I'd recommend you to add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse ##### MAJOR BUG FIX UPDATES##### ##(produced after the final release) deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse ##### UBUNTU SECURITY UPDATES ##### deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse ##### BACKPORTS REPOSITORY ##### ##(Unsupported.

I had also some problems with the keyboard switching. In the KDE there was a keyboard switching tool, but actually did not work. For the slovak users - when you need to switch the keyboard from the US keyboard to slovak QWERTY, add this to your start scripts: setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -layout "us,sk(qwerty)" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
It adds the windows-like switching and is very neat. The default browser in this ubuntu distribution is Firefox 2.0. I experienced some unexpected crashes and also the annoying dialog to choose the previous session or to start the new session. Other positive impression was the hibernation and the sleep mode, automatic power-saving functions and the battery indicator. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite S320-M35 and to make this work in the debian, it took me a long time. Here it worked right after the install as well as the nvidia driversJava with the gij (some gnu kind of java). I know this is because of the licensing issues, but I had to replace it manually. For the conclusion, my impressions from the ubuntu 6.10 are quite good and I am really glad that I switched and would recommend this to everyone at least to try it. The usability is really on a high level. installed via the apt-get. One thing that I disliked is the replacement of the sun's
