The new version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 11.10 named Oneiric Ocelot) has been released. With the new features, I want to show you how it works in a VirtualBox Machine.
Yesterday I tried the beta of Ubuntu 11.04 on VirtualBox.
I can say it works well, but on my laptop (core 2 duo 2.16) it is slow.

Hi all, Under Ubuntu 10.10 my Aspire One had its fans always on, this generates two problems, the first one is linked to the power consumption (the fans reduce the battery autonomy) and the second one is the noise (the fans are very noisy).
Finally Ubuntu has added the support for the Alcatel One Touch x020, now it works fine and you can configure it easily. Just run the following steps:
Ubuntu 10.10 starts the wifi led in blinking mode.
At first this feature is nice, but after few hours it annoyed me a lot, so I found a trick to stop this annoying blinking.

options iwlcore led_mode=1
Yesterday I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, naturally I installed also the tethering support:
Before the installation I had the following configuration

During this second day I've Ubuntu 10.10 on the Aspire One a110 at work, and I noticed a lot of good news:
Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition installs OpenOfficeOrg 3.2 from Oracle. This version is very fast, it opens itself and a complex text (.odt) file of 35 pages in 10 seconds. The new Unity interface gives a lot of space to OOO so you can use a netbook to write complex documents.
Today I've installed, on my Acer Aspire a110 (8GB) the last release of Ubuntu for netbook: Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
