Switching to Ubuntu GNOME 15.04: Installing Software (1/4)

[@ildipali8075]

Learned more in this video than 3 days of other random videos. Thanks a lot.

Alex, your proficiency with Linux and the presentation of your knowledge is unmatched in all of my hours of searching. I really appreciate what you're doing here. Would love to be able to contact you with my ongoing journey into the Ubuntu world. I'm loving the switchover from the dismal 8.1 so far, but have been struggling with a couple of nagging issues. Either way, I'm impressed and very thankful that you put your knowledge out there for all to see. Thanks.

Cody D Comments like these make my day. Thank you! If you have any questions, I recommend that you ask them over at the Tek Syndicate Forum: forum.teksyndicate.com/c/software/linux-helpdesk. It is a good medium for discussion and has lots of smart users. If you leave a response here with a link to the Tek Syndicate thread, I'll be sure to check it out and if I know the answer, I'll give it to you. If I don't, hopefully someone else will! Thanks again, mate. I'm glad I could be of help.

Excellent, looking forward to your next video.

Zenon Ayala Thank you, bud. Just so you know, the full series is out: kzbin.info/aero/PL5ze0DjYv5DaKlZindLl2phZivR8_b9Zi

5:18 The reason why the apt-get command failed is that you can only have one instance of apt-get running at the same time. It places a lock file, to prevent another instance from running. You need to wait for the other instance of apt-get to finish before you can run this one. Nice video anyways :D

[@djpunisha29]

you got my subscription, you definitely got some ninja skills with Linux, love that explanations are fast and precise, i learned new tricks on this video, looking forward for more tuts and videos, cheers Nenad

[@bookercodes]

+NenadSSS Thanks for the kind words!

[@scottbaronxxx]

Praise in public criticize in private. My friend, your presentations are lucid, well prepared and definitely worth listening to. Likewise communicating with you would be a privilege, as I couldn't resist the temptation to upgrade to 3.16. All went well, however my Bluetooth headset which is recognized by the system, does not appear in the sound settings. It did work under the previous shell. Oddly enough, my bluetooth for my telephone does work and is recognized under sound settings. Creative Labs not working, Jabra working. Thoughts? I'll check out the forum at Tek Syn.

[@ReezyChiloane]

You're really great at explaining stuff. Thank you

[@bookercodes]

Reezy Chiloane Thanks for the kind words!

[@ReezyChiloane]

Code Cast​ please keep on doing the how to stuff for us noobs. You'll go far

[@deputy899]

Brilliant video. I have learnt so much more. Thanks

[@bookercodes]

Steven Doig Thank _you_!

[@Aubatec]

This is great, lots of tips, tricks very precise. liked a lot work with the shell to install fish, just amazing look and features added, please try to make this in a new 20.04 version, cheers

[@pforeman2008]

Awesome video,you may have a gift. I probably have ADD and I watched the whole video. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

[@dorpyy]

Good job! Like your videos a lot ;)

[@bookercodes]

Darkyy Thank you mate. It means a lot :3

[@jicos1234]

Just wondering, what distro are you using as your daily distro? Great videos watched all of your videos, easy to follow and good tips. Cant wait for your next videos.

[@josipprgomet994]

very! good job .. you are fast but easy to listen to .. and cover a lot with a lot of sense .. this what you do is not easy .. it is rare .. you are good ..

[@bookercodes]

Josip Prgomet Wow. Thank you for the kind words, Josip!

[@josipprgomet994]

:) I mean it .. since looks are important to you .. have you tried or looked at elementaryOS 0.3 Freya .. what do you think ?

[@bookercodes]

Josip Prgomet I think Elementary/Pantheon is beautiful but it is a bit too temperamental in my opinion. I used it on my other computer for a while but it had to go - it often exhibited erratic behaviour and sometimes crashed. I'm still going to keep an eye on its development, though.

[@ttavyy]

What is your take on openSUSE Tumbleweed? It has the fantastic community-driven repos (just like arch does) + yast + a super polish rolling realease distro :) I really hope I see something about it in your videos :)

[@bookercodes]

To be honest, I haven't given openSUSE a fair chance but I've always been interested since InfinitelyGalactic made his "Switching to openSUSE" series. openSUSE is definitely on my list of distros to try out but at the moment, I'm taking a break from distro hopping as I'm quite content with Arch.

[@damienboze8936]

Hi I loved your vid but can you direct me to where you got your installer for ubuntu gnome I can't seem to find one thanks.

[@chaitanyacharana]

how do you have the max/min/close keys at the right on Ubuntu. I really need that!

[@Uxkkun]

I've been using dist-upgrade almost exclusively, and it's no longer a fresh install. Would you advise against this?

[@a3qn]

What's you opinion about Lubuntu.

[@seeker-shadow9746]

It says that it isn't in the sudeors file? Please aid me!

[@bookercodes]

+l3est.Of.l3easts What is "it"?

[@tiboranicic7324]

hi, i installed ubuntu 15.10 and did what you showed in video.. update , upgrade etc... I did not install skype , dropbox or did graphic update. When i went to software & update it showed me that the card chosen was open source , tested.. I did not choose propreitery drivers.. Afterwards I went to install gnome shell and restarted computer and then I can't turn it on at all.. This image shows up prntscr.com/aphsir any idea?

[@bookercodes]

+Tibor Anicic Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that specific error. Maybe someone on askubuntu.com/ can help.

[@onodera876]

Are you able to install GNOME Shell 3.16 in Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS?

[@bookercodes]

+meowchowder I haven't tried to do personally therefore, I cannot say with any certainty. I _suspect_ that you can, but I recommend that you try to do so in a virtual machine first, as not to mess up your system. Also, bare in mind that the latest (stable) version of GNOME is now 3.18.

[@djpunisha29]

sorry for multiple comments, my smartphone, KZbin was bugging when posting a comment

[@bookercodes]

+NenadSSS No worries.

[@firebullett]

Does your Dropbox icon appear at the top? Mine does not :(

[@bookercodes]

+exfire GNOME doesn't put system icons at the top - it puts them in the notification area or the collapsible tray depending on which version you're using. That being said, if you want system icons to be at the top, I believe there is a GNOME plugin for that.

[@crazy-biscuit5529]

+Code Cast Why would you use a release based option and update the programs to their latest version? Wouldn't you like to use a rolling release instead? I got so annoyed by the extra ppas because they got more and more so I switched to Arch. This did not only address the ppas problem but also made me learn so many new things in a short time frame. (:

[@strategicthinker8899]

Yp, Linux still for freaks and geeks, marvelling at the same user unfriendliness as 15 years ago.

[@Phishstaebchen]

It's Webupdate, not Web U P D 8. :D

[@bookercodes]

+Phis Hello again, Phis. Of course it's _"Web _*_Update_*_"_. How did I not realize that until now 😋?

[@Scythe1337]
