In-depth review of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Final Release. Feel free to skip sections of the video using the chapter timings below: 0:18 – Installation (Dual boot & Slideshow) 5:28 – Pre-Installed Software 9:36 – Desktop & Unity Features (inc Compiz) 12:49 – Installing Software (few apps to try) 14:51 – Conclusion This video is aimed more for people who are new to Ubuntu, but there is something here for everyone. I show the Unity 3D Desktop Environment in action on a full system install and cover a verity of topics including: 1: Installation – Dual booting with Windows 7 and using the automated partitioning. 2: Look at Pre-Installed Software Canonical have included on the install disk, including LibreOffice 3.3, Firefox 4, Banshee Media Player, Ubuntu One, Software Centre, Puzzle Games, and a 3D shooter. 3: Fancy Desktop Features – Tutorial on setting up Compiz effects and Coloured Mouse Cursors 4: Installing Software and suggestions of a Few Applications to try: Chromium, Gimp image editor, Inkscape vector graphic, Openshot, Zaz and Sauerbraten. 5: Conclusion 85% – A nice modern desktop environment, very easy to use, but not necessarily for everyones taste. Next version of Ubuntu (11.10) should offer a more customisable version of Unity. Website: www.ubuntu.com Download www.ubuntu.com Video Rating: 4 / 5

It has been a long time since I played with a linux flavor. After messing with osx86 for awhile, I decided to come back to ubuntu. I installed from a USB stick. The install process went flawlessly, with no apparent graphical glitches. Once the computer booted up after the initial reboot the graphics are very glitchy. I can’t see any much of anything other than the cursor. The edges are striped black and white and I am getting a screen-door effect over the entire desktop. At the login screen everything is fine…I don’t know of keyboard shortcuts to try to change resolutions or any of that other stuff (like I said, it’s been QUITE some time since I have played with linux.)
Should I try to reinstall or is this a simple fix?
BTW, it was installed on a Dell Dimension 9150 with an ATI gfx card.

While its debut in beta form is smart looking and definitely chases the fashion in operating-system design it’s also the single worst beta release of Ubuntu I’ve ever tested.
That’s not to say there isn’t much to love in Ubuntu 11.04 with the new Unity Interface being the primary news, but even for a beta this release is way too rough. Unity – regardless of what you think of it – isn’t ready for prime time and it seems unlikely Canonical will iron out all its problems before the planned final release in April.
