    yeah but they have removed 5 star rating and hidden community features ;-)

  2. Deusdies says:

    @OSGUIShow I hate it too. I really, really hate it. The only cool thing is that the video doesn’t stop when you search for a different vid etc.

  3. OSGUIShow says:

    thanks for the tip

    yeah I HATE it

    @OSGUIShow
    Have you tried out the new youtube layout?
    you can get it by going to youtube . com / watch5?enable=1
    and disable it by replacing 1 with a 0.

  5. OSGUIShow says:

    oh really?
    p.s. updating grub can screw a normal install of linux too sometimes so maybe its not a problem with wubi but with grub

  6. fndsource says:

    when will they have new wubi? the existing wubi is having issues when you update the grub.

  7. OSGUIShow says:

    Mint 9 is not available for download yet, is it????????

    na this is just a new install of Lucid Lynx

  8. tardis0011 says:

    I’ve noticed that at 0:26 when you resize the windows, it’s ‘live’ like in Windows- is this by default or did you change some setting? In Karmic Koala, when I changed the setting for resizing windows to ‘Normal,’ it was a bit buggy as the windows border kept flashing when resizing. Has this been fixed in Lucid Lynx?

    P.S. Why no videos on Linux Mint 9 Isadora?

  9. OSGUIShow says:

    @roboticterror yep it does a bit and I don’t like mac os x look

  10. OSGUIShow says:

    @liekomgl33t haha yeah iv changed it back to the right now

  11. liekomgl33t says:

    errr left, excuse me…

  12. CultOfTheGlenda says:

    Oh good point. This must be Unubunutuo bro.

  13. ASCII808 says:

    Osx tears?

  14. roboticterror says:

    Looks like an OSX clone.

  15. CultOfTheGlenda says:

    This is a very nice video about OS X.

  16. mariopica says:

    Very interesting.
    I use the 8.04 LTS, and I use de computer to do basic tasks. I wonder if
    I shall go to this new version or continue
    using the old one. I am not an expert and
    I am affraid of something going wrong in
    the transition. Any way you video is very
    interesting. Thank you very much.
    Best regards,
    mario.

    ubuntgeek(.)com as a solution that’ll switch the close, minimize and restore buttons

    and it is a one liner in the terminal window apparently:

    I haven’t tried it though i’m too scared right cause the ubuntu box is the only one that is running just now.

    gconftool-2 –set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout –type string :minimize,maximize,close

    i trust ubuntugeek to be right on matters relating to ubuntu though.

  18. mpalen19 says:

    Great!

  19. OSGUIShow says:

    yeh it was my screwed upgraded from karmic to lucid that didnt work right but my clean install of lucid works

  20. OSGUIShow says:

    yeah i like it too now i have managed to switch the window decoration buttons back to the right hand side
    yay

  21. mpalen19 says:

    Personally, I like the way Lucid Lynx looks. That’s one of the cool things about Linux, you never know what to expect. I mean, why do people want to remain inside of a box. Linux in my view is to help people think differently so the fact that they are changing it is a good sign. Besides, most OS’s look the same anyways.

    As far as it looking like a OSX, this doesn’t really bother me. Once they release Lucid they might change the theme again or you can change it yourself, so what’s the problem?

  22. mpalen19 says:

    Cool, I knew it must’ve been easier than a complicated hack, especially because of the way it was described in the post.

  23. OSGUIShow says:

    it works now
    i just tried again after getting updates
    but it looks funny coz it was designed to go on the left and yeah i have to change the theme too

  24. OSGUIShow says:

    thanks
    we can fix it in ubuntu tweak now too

  25. mpalen19 says:

    Damn, is that right? Well I seen a picture where this guy posted a screenshot where he was able to get it done. Maybe he hacked it somehow to make it work. I didn’t really pay attention much to the post but now I wish I did because he explained how he did it. Oh well, I’ll still keep trying to find it.
