Cory -

Isn't Ubuntu current release - 10.10 ??  I'd suggest re-install latest version?? 

But perhaps I'm clueless about UNR.

1- always keep backups on removeable media - or one of the web storage sites

2- With backups of data, you can freely update, change re-install as you experiment.

3- warning, below is my biased view as I find opensuse fine, and it satisfies all my experimenting modes - openSUSE Build service - and opensuse studio.

4- good luck, keep updated, have fun.

also, double check your atom processor as I think it is 64bit.

(I run opensuse 11.3 - and I loaded both 32 and 64 bit version, so I dual boot both - and I'm surprised this CeleronM chip actually handles 64bit, just fine - I had to install in "kernel mode: failsafe" but I suspect this is mostly with ATI dropping legacy support on my radeon 200M, then adding it back in, so original loading was a pain - AFTER all updates things run much better. Always double check opensuse HCL data base for your model of computer - special section on ASUS machines.

 Topic: HD video playback on UNR 10.04

Cory <andjusti...@comcast.net> Oct 28 12:05PM -0700 ^

 
I bought myself an Asus EEE 1005 netbook in March. It has a 1.6GHz Atom
processor, 1GB of RAM, and 250GB HDD. When I got the computer I
immediately loaded it with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04, and was greatly
enjoying it's web-browsing capabilities. I was even watching Youtube
videos in HD, which I also enjoyed. Since upgrading to UNR10.04 in May I
have been unable to play HD on my netbook. It is slow and lags several
seconds. A 720p or 1080p video plays more like a slideshow, thought the
audio continues uninterrupted. I don't know what the problem is. I was
unable to use Youtube for 4 months from mid-April until mid-August
because I was in China, where Youtube is blocked, so maybe something
changed in the Youtube interface. This is unlikely, because when I try
to watch HD videos offline that I've downloaded the problem is the same.
Is it a problem with the video driver? I would appreciate some feedback.
I've researched the problem on my own and the most common answer is that
my computer does not have the technical specifications for HD. This
makes no sense, because I was able to do it before.
