| keantoken | Hello. | 18:43 |
| holstein | keantoken: o/ | 18:44 |
| keantoken | My OS wants to upgrade to Narwhal, will this break anything in Ubuntustudio? Or cause other awful annoyances? | 18:46 |
| holstein | your OS? | 18:46 |
| holstein | keantoken: dont let it push you around | 18:46 |
| holstein | what do you want to do? | 18:46 |
| * holstein is still running 10.04 | 18:46 | |
| holstein | you should do what makes you comfortable | 18:47 |
| holstein | is there any known issues? | 18:47 |
| holstein | you should be fine* | 18:47 |
| holstein | would i? | 18:47 |
| holstein | no | 18:47 |
| holstein | but, ugrading still takes longer that a fresh install | 18:47 |
| holstein | so, i sometimes do it to test the procedure | 18:47 |
| holstein | but, i almost always do a fresh install | 18:48 |
| keantoken | Ok thanks. | 18:48 |
| keantoken | Would it be slower and more bloated? | 18:49 |
| holstein | nah | 18:49 |
| holstein | maybe faster? | 18:49 |
| holstein | really depends | 18:49 |
| holstein | but, barring some driver issue with a newer kernel | 18:49 |
| holstein | it wont get slower | 18:49 |
| keantoken | Alright. | 18:50 |
| keantoken | I think Flash is causing strange problems with my graphics. | 18:53 |
| keantoken | Firefox keeps telling me it crashed. | 18:53 |
| holstein | i dont do flash on my production machine | 18:53 |
| holstein | BUT | 18:53 |
| holstein | it should be stable | 18:53 |
| holstein | keantoken: you using FF4? | 18:53 |
| holstein | and you have flash up to date? | 18:53 |
| keantoken | I have FF 3.6 | 18:54 |
| keantoken | To my knowledge it updates automatically as I have seen it do, but I will check | 18:54 |
| holstein | keantoken: i added a PPA for ff | 18:54 |
| holstein | https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 18:55 |
| holstein | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable | 18:55 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 18:55 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:55 |
| keantoken | Why should I get FF4? | 18:56 |
| holstein | you dont have to | 18:57 |
| holstein | if you're having flash issues with ff | 18:57 |
| holstein | i would suggest upgrading or downgrading FF and/or flash | 18:57 |
| holstein | to try and figure out the cause | 18:58 |
| holstein | +, FF4 is just better | 18:58 |
| holstein | no reason not to have FF4 | 18:58 |
| holstein | unless you just dont want to | 18:58 |
| holstein | which is fine | 18:58 |
| keantoken | I assumed FF3 would upgrade itself to FF4 when it was ready. | 18:59 |
| holstein | keantoken: no | 19:00 |
| holstein | thats not the way it works | 19:00 |
| holstein | you get ubuntu | 19:00 |
| holstein | say, verion 10.10 | 19:00 |
| holstein | and FF is at the 3.0 stage | 19:00 |
| holstein | SO | 19:00 |
| holstein | you get that verion upgraded | 19:00 |
| holstein | if there is a rev to 3.x | 19:01 |
| holstein | OR | 19:01 |
| holstein | a security fix | 19:01 |
| holstein | to jump to a newer version | 19:01 |
| holstein | you need to build yourself | 19:01 |
| holstein | OR use a PPA | 19:01 |
| holstein | ff4 has been out for a month or so? | 19:01 |
| holstein | something like that | 19:01 |
| keantoken | I just discovered Swiftfox, but it looks like it is based on Firefox 3 source code. If I built FF4 on my system would I effectively get a Swiftfox version of FF4? | 19:03 |
| keantoken | Optimized to me processor etc? | 19:03 |
| holstein | ff4 is fast again | 19:04 |
| holstein | i would just try it | 19:04 |
| holstein | and see if its still an issue | 19:04 |
| keantoken | I guess I should try to fix flash before installing new things... | 19:05 |
| holstein | well, i would check that flash is up to date | 19:05 |
| holstein | then | 19:05 |
| holstein | try flash in other browsers | 19:05 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 19:05 |
| holstein | for example | 19:05 |
| holstein | or midori | 19:05 |
| holstein | see if you can isolate what the issue is | 19:05 |
| holstein | im just postulating its FF3 | 19:06 |
| holstein | since, i dont have flash issues | 19:06 |
| keantoken | Thanks, will do now. | 19:08 |
