just not diggin the new beta Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity! always was a fan of ubuntu, but now its time to switch up the distro. I really like linux mint, wish i jumped on board sooner!
Haven't tried 11.04 on my machine yet, (mainly because it's giving me a hard time installing). Wouldn't even load the live cd! My buddy got it loaded on his machine though. It's not bad, but I just don't know if I like the whole unity either.
You know you CAN run the regular gnome desktop right?
I think I'll wait till the official release though and then give it a good honest run. Maverick (10.10) has been flawless for me and its gonna take some to get me away from it!
11.04 Sucks! one of the worst beta's, im running 10.10 and everything works great, 11.04 was giving me multiple problems.

Would it be an easier experience for me to use linux or windows to create themes and whatnot for android. I want to spend some free time contributing to the community more than I have been.
no difference
In my experience surprisingly windows. But with a little effort i could change that
i hate using gimp, im so used to photoshop (could be fixed), and for some reason Im having a hell of a time signing apks and zips in linux. the easy tool somebody made in these forums doesnt work at all for me on my ubuntu setup, but ran fine on windows

i prefer windows bc im used to it. gimp actually works great in windows as well and is free. i like it alot. i use both but gimp is quick and easy and takes up less space. i also agree that signing in windows is quite easy...drag and drop some files....install latest java jdk and you're good to go. however, i will not put down the other OS. in reality...its just practice. the more you get a feel for something, the better you understand and grow to like using it or vice versa...hate it .
I would say Windows with virtual machine running linux, the linux is mainly for doing crazy new things as you can easily get the source code and build your own android in linux and then workout how to make those modifications to existing roms later in windows box, this is what I did when I was investigating how to change the color of the line that is drawn between unlock pattern icons

Ubuntu 11.04, but for your own good, replace Unity if this is not for a laptop/tablet installation. I like the look of Gnome3.
Linux mint!!!!!!!
Been running ubuntu for a bit now, Different, but I like it, I really want to get into it more and figure some stuff out..
Debian.
/thread
Android x86?
Ubuntu 11.04 x64 with KDE
Backtrack.
-Insert signature here-
Ubuntu 11.04 32/64 w/ GNOME 2.32
How about hackintosh??
I know its no Linux, but its Unix
Hehehe... was about to troll with iOS, but I see someone already covered the Mac angle
Its been Ubuntu since 8.04 version.
I have tried all other, but this seemed most stable and minimal, leaving you choice of further customizations.
Go with the last Ubuntu. You can set Gnome or Unity before login.

Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't support some legacy onboard wireless chipsets... Or should I say it's the other way around? Anyway there's some issue or other with proprietary drivers doing their own thing and refusing to do anything in 11.04. You should probably search their forums for your particular wifi chipset and see if anyone's having problems with it. Otherwise get 10.10.
Go with Arch. Keep It Simple.
Hey everyone,
So I want to start using Linux, I've used it a few times in the past (Live CD's, Asus EEE Machines etc) But never as a standalone OS. I have an old laptop that isn't a bad spec that I want to run it on but I don't know which distro to go with.
I'm going to be using it as a everyday machine (web browsing etc) Though the option to do more complicated things on it (build from the CM Github etc) would be nice.
I also don't want a baby fed/watered down version, I want to learn Linux & how it works so I can become a better PC Technician.
So my question is, Which version would you recommend?
Thanks in advance
Ubuntu 10.10 is a Solid Distro ... 11.04 is the current, however no more GNOME interface..
Maverick and Natty both have really solid support and community backing ..
So Check out Ubuntu!
Linux mint is a nice off spin of ubuntu, still has gnome, and any other flavor desktop you might want. I perfect kde myself. I find it easier on the eyes and qt is easy to customize.

It's really going to be a preference thing.. 11.04 uses 'Unity' as the Default Environment.
I did not like it . but that's just me.
10.10 still has loads of support. so you could def try it out and 'upgrade' to 11.04 should you want teh newest!
Don't go unity. Not just yet. Maybe after it gets a bit better. a bit more stable perhaps.
But yes I believe ubuntu for starters is the best mostly for its huge community.You'll find plenty of answers.
Go for 10.10 or 10.04 lts. Eventually if you get in to it you can move to more hardcore distros like fedora.

and then even more hardcore ... Arch , Gentoo ... then LFS .. haha . learn your terminal commands
You could also check out openSuSE it's a linux Novell project.
Another decent distro though not one of my favorites is Fedora Core

So you recommended going for Ubuntu 10.10? What's so wrong with this unity? Is it that buggy or just not a fan?

Tbh, This is kinda the path I wanna take, I don't wanna be a pro-pro but would like to be somewhat good.
Basicly I'm a qualified PC Tech & while I can help anyone out on a windows & mac environment I'll still clueless on Linux so I wanna learn as much as possible to be the best I can be.
Do you think starting at the deep end is a good idea or should I take it slowly?

So, here's the lowdown...
I am running Ubuntu Natty Narwhal right now. I find Unity delightful and decently customizable. But if you don't like Unity, you can choose Ubuntu Classic from the login screen, which is GNOME(not sure which). Another distro I like is Fedora (currently 15) which comes with GNOME 3. If you want a completely bare-bones but amazingly customizable distro go with Arch. It may be confusing at first, but I hear you can do anything with it. Another popular distro is Gentoo, where you compile almost everything from source. One distro that I have used is Sabayon, which is a spinoff of Gentoo. OpenSUSE is pretty solid, although I haven't used it for that long. I tried Mandriva for a while and didn't really like it.
I would say though, that if you want to become better at linux try Fedora. It's pretty much Ubuntu but for non-noobs. If you become comfortable with that, try out Arch or Gentoo. But if you want to do development, like for android, go with Ubuntu as it comes with easily installable software and a large community.
So there ya go, that's my opinion on this.
I've read alot about open suse being used alot on laptops in europe. They use it on the pc's at work and needed a way to easily communicate their latops with the work pc's. So over the past few yrs, open suse has really worked to make it laptop compatible.

This just started happening on my build machine after completing a recent version of ICS for my Nook. Now all of a sudden I can't complete a zip for any of my different Android devices??? I am not a Linux pro like most so this may be an easy fix but as it stands I am dead in the water. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
try make clobber before building again. It'll clean up everything and start fresh which MAY help. Not familiar with your error but am familiar with building from source.

Man that was the first thing I tried... I have formatted and reloaded my entire build machine. I am starting to think it has something to do with the new tool chain in sdk. There is literally nothing online except for my error.
This sucks...I have 3 different projects going now and can't work on anything.
Could it be because your trying to build with 32bit and not 64bit?? Had all sorts of ICS build errors until JB helped me figure out it was simple as my machine not being setup right

You are correct in that I am running 32 bit but I was having no issues building ICS for the Nook with it? It ran perfectly for a good month while I was working towards audio on the Nook...ran a build at least once a night. Android SDK released some update that I like a sucker installed. It may have nothing to do with this "broken pipe/minigzip issue" but that was the only thing that changed. What is strange is that it persisted even after I formatted and reloaded. I am not sure if this machine can run 64-bit, it is an old AMD Athalon 1ghz. Don't care if it is slow, do you think it will run? If so I certainly can format again and start over, I am not vested in 11.10...actually I don't like Unity one bit. Please post which Ubuntu you are running since I ultimately want to work on ICS and our beloved HeroC. With all of you guys moving on it is time a few of us start learning for ourselves.
Cheers

Thank you Dastin.... I guess I could have went out on a limb since it is the only other choice on their website. So no one has ever seen this error before? Leave it to me, what blows me away is how it remains even after a format and re-install. If the machine had not built prior I would lean towards equipment or missing dependencies. I assume it would be better for me in the long run to revert to 64-bit if it will run on my pc. I think Matt would agree if finally is cold in the Midwest...
Cheers from the Tundra!

I did every type of search possible. Even searched in places where I've found info Google won't. Still nothing. I mention 32 bit because I had all sorts of errors I never found info on because I was running 32 bit. Once I installed 64 bit all my building problems and errors I never did figure out went away. Might be the case for you who knows....
But yes winter finally settled in here... for a little bit at least. I'm not gonna complain one bit though because we've been lucky for how winter can get here. We should be under 5+ feet of snow and below freezing temps but tomorrow we're expecting 35. Most of December was 40's.... We're not used to that...
That is the truth for here in Sioux Falls as well. We usually don't get as much snow as you guys but the temp sure has been sweet. Are you north or south of the cities?
60 miles South of Minneapolis.
I know I35 well...one of our retail stores is located in Medford. I am the electronics buyer for Karl's TV. So check this crap out, I formatted again last night and loaded 10.04 this time. I must say I like the interface much better than Unity but the same exact error again? I am beginning to think that one of the build binaries is corrupt but I am sure we would be hearing something. The error is so general that it really does not give a direction to start looking except for minigzip & ramdisk. I would lean towards equipment if I hadn't been able to build with it before....
Cheers
I keep thinking, we'll have convergence on the Bionic. On stock, it already had convergence, but with hardware acceleration and a stable build, we could get performance similar to that of a Chromebook in a Phone. In addition, we can dual boot, so we have Android AND Ubuntu. Is anyone else excited about it, or is it just me who's a fan of convergence?
Convergence could be very cool
I would love to see Ubuntu on any phone. The Ubuntu Edge idea looks awesome, but I think having the ability to use my Android phone and then run Ubuntu by connecting to a tv or monitor would make my phone even more useful.
Someone smarter than me should make it happen!

Gingerbread on the Bionic did this, with webtop (2.0?). The original/stock build was quite clunky and slow, but a very cool idea. Some people even stripped the build down, added in the rest of the arm build of Ubuntu, set up swap partitions, and ended up with amazing and ideal setups.
I would love to see this idea come back around in android devices. Alas, chroot with vnc is the closest to that dream at the moment.
