Laura Cowen, Tony Whitmore, Alan Pope, and Mark Johnson temporarily migrate to Studio B and its delights of strange, but refreshing, tea and high-speed internet, together enabling live streaming video as well as the usual audio for episode 6 of season 4 of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team! (Sadly the video didn’t record so only 22-31 people in the world saw it.)
In this week’s show:-
- We talk about creating a multi-boot USB stick for those times when your friend is running 64-bit and you’re not, how to tether someone’s dad, setting up an OwnCloud server (which may be like Eucalyptus but we couldn’t possibly say), and spending far longer than strictly necessary (or intended) making a 3D scoreboard for this episode’s quiz.
- In the news:-
- We mention upcoming event:-
- 13th – 14th August 2011 – OggCamp11 – The Maltings, Farnham, UK – We have a sponsor (Chris Procter on behalf of lug.org.uk) and everything!
- We discuss the recent Natty release.
- We set a competition (yes, really!) to win some Natty Narwhal natty goodies (including a Narwhal signed by Ubuntu Release Manager Kate Stewart) swiped by Popey at the release party. Deadline: Sunday 22nd May – listen to the show to find out what to do to win!
- Laura makes us play 80s throwback rip-off, Podbusters (“Well, there we are!”). Guess who wins. Guess who doesn’t.
- We have a Bit About Ubuntu:-
- ..and a bit that’s Not About Ubuntu:-
- Finally we have your feedback, including a challenge from Mike Hingley to the community.

Too bad that video didn’t record, I hope it’ll work next time
These episode names were a bit familiar to me. Now I’m sure where they come from. The next one could be Run to the hills.
notice a power surge – i not surprised considering the bad behaviour when you play music or use the web broswer. there always seem to me to be a problem with the something power related specially with the heavy usage with the CPU Fan kicking in and staying on for considerable time.
“the Fan” the become much more louder and there for unforgiving loudness,
and i to give notice to ubuntu there another problem Acer Aspire HDD also getting very Hot!..
some one at Ubuntu needs to look into this serious problem with laptops…
I’m listening to this right now and as someone that moved to linux Mint recently I have to say I am a bit concerned about what will happen in the next release. It’s not yet clear which desktop environment they will chose, most probably because they’re waiting to see how things evolve. But to be honest whatever it will be I trust them to make it as “power user” friendly as possible. I mean I love what they’ve done so far and they’re clearly not bending over backwards to accommodate “noob”.. erm “new users” (I’m using quotes because I don’t believe in these stereotypes… we’re all plain users, nothing else). And if that’s not enough there’s always the LXDE version of Mint, which might end up being the closest thing we’ll have to Gnome 2.
