Comment on Better menu for GNOME/Ubuntu by saurabh

It’s not that monstrous - it also provides an excellent accessible blend between quick launching and more search depth. Quick launchers are okay, and I guess Avant looks pretty. But functionally gnome’s main menu is much more useful, and more usable.

To be honest, I really like it and I’m not even a big Windows fan. I think that there is an aesthetic appeal to it plus it’s nice having frequently used documents and apps in one/two clicks. I also like the way that it groups the “control center” icons.

Ati drivers work fine after you enable them from System > Administration > Restricted drivers manager.

Only thing to keep in mind Compiz does not work without xserver-xgl with these drivers and enabling XGL will cause opengl games to break.

This will, however, be fixed with Hardy as it includes newer ati drivers.

For wireless I followed Ubuntu’s Wiki. Works perfectly without encryption, sometimes problematic with encryption but usually works if you hit /etc/init.d/networking restart a few times.

Hi TH

Thanks!

I tried working on it again last night till 1 am and managed to install Ubuntu 7.10 on my MBP.

Now getting the wireless and ATI drivers is getting touch. The Ubuntu Wiki did not fully help me solve the problem. Any tips or anything specific to keep in mind?

Thanks!

@Alric: maybe 15 minutes or so? Not long anyway.

@Karthik:

I have no idea about bootcamp, never seen it, never used it. And can’t get it anyway since it’s Leopard-only.

I simply used partitioning tool from livecd, System > Administration > Partition editor and resized the hfs+ partition smaller. For empty space I created a single ext3 partition. Nothing more.
