Una din ideile mele fixe este c\u0103 GNU\/Linux nu se va r\u0103sp\u00e2ndi p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd m\u0103car una dintre distribu\u021bii nu va deveni cu adev\u0103rat simplu de instalat, \u00eentre\u021binut \u0219i folosit de c\u0103tre omul de r\u00e2nd. Cel care vrea un calculator ca s\u0103 stea pe email \u0219i s\u0103 deschid\u0103 bancurile \u0219i pozele pe care i le trimit prietenii.<\/p>\n
De aceea, m\u0103 bucur c\u00e2nd se mai ive\u0219te ocazia s\u0103 instalez un sistem nou, pentru c\u0103 pot s\u0103 reevaluez situa\u021bia. Ieri \u0219i azi am instalat Ubuntu Karmic pe un calculator nou, un Dell Optiplex. Iat\u0103 c\u00e2teva impresii asortate \u0219i concluzia mea la sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>\n
– Am f\u0103cut instalarea cu un CD minimal, iar pachetele le-am tras prin re\u021bea. O prim\u0103 problem\u0103 a fost c\u0103 installerul nu \u0219tia s\u0103 foloseasc\u0103 monitorul lat (aspect 16:10). L\u0103\u021bimea era corect\u0103, dar pierdeam c\u0103teva linii de text sus \u0219i jos. Au fost situa\u021bii c\u00e2nd chiar am avut nevoie s\u0103 le pot vedea \u0219i a trebuit s\u0103 tot ajustez pozi\u021bia vertical\u0103 a ecranului. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
– Instalarea a mers (aproape) \u0219nur. Un utilizator simplu ar putea s\u0103 fac\u0103 asta f\u0103r\u0103 probleme cu un CD de instalare. Eu am avut un necaz pentru c\u0103 am instalat pachetele prin re\u021bea \u0219i, din nu \u0219tiu ce motiv, mirror-ul din Rom\u00e2nia avea ni\u0219te inconsisten\u021be. Am reluat instalarea cu mirror-ul din SUA \u0219i a mers perfect. \u00cen 30 de minute (la a doua \u00eencercare) instalasem un sistem standard cu Gnome, Firefox \u0219i OpenOffice, cu user creat, cu diverse set\u0103ri, cu totul la cheie.<\/p>\n
– Am dus calculatorul acas\u0103 la prietenul c\u0103ruia i-am f\u0103cut instalarea. Acolo, surpriz\u0103: Ubuntu Karmic are un bug, nereparat de trei luni, care \u00eempiedic\u0103 conectarea la re\u021bea prin PPPoE (conexiune cu username \u0219i parol\u0103). Solu\u021bia „out of the box” a lui Ubuntu este Network Manager, care nu merge. Solu\u021bia alternativ\u0103 (pppoeconf) merge, dar eu nu \u0219tiam de ea la momentul respectiv. A\u0219adar, am observat pur \u0219i simplu c\u0103 nu se poate conecta la re\u021bea, l-am depanat vreo or\u0103, apoi am plecat acas\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Acas\u0103 am aflat c\u0103 bugul este cunoscut \u0219i comunitatea Ubuntu este \u0219ocat\u0103 cum Karmic s-a putut lansa cu un asemenea bug grosolan. Am g\u0103sit solu\u021bii, dar multe din ele erau ciclice, \u00een sensul c\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi cereau s\u0103 instalezi ceva de pe internet ca s\u0103-\u021bi mearg\u0103 leg\u0103tura la internet. Solu\u021bia pe care am folosit-o a fost s\u0103 rulez pppoeconf ca s\u0103 m\u0103 leg la internet, apoi s\u0103 instalez o versiune mai nou\u0103 de NetworkManager dintr-un repository diferit, pentru c\u0103 Network Manager este o solu\u021bie elegant\u0103 \u0219i voiam s\u0103-l fac s\u0103 mearg\u0103.<\/p>\n
– La cererea utilizatorului, am mai f\u0103cut diverse modific\u0103ri care au mers perfect. De exemplu, \u00een maxim 10 clickuri am instalat pachetele de limb\u0103 rom\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i acum tot sistemul este \u00een limba rom\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Timpul de bootare este admirabil, cam 40 de secunde de c\u00e2nd ape\u0219i butonul p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd te logheaz\u0103 (automat) \u00een cont \u0219i po\u021bi deschide un browser. Shutdown-ul este \u0219i mai incredibil, sub 10 secunde. Se pare c\u0103 la partea asta Karmic chiar a dep\u0103\u0219it cu mult versiunile precedente.<\/p>\n
– Sistemul are totu\u0219i diverse ciud\u0103\u021benii care \u00eel fac uneori dificil de folosit de c\u0103tre o persoan\u0103 atehnic\u0103. De exemplu, c\u00e2nd bag un DVD, \u00eemi apare o iconi\u021b\u0103 pe desktop. Buuun. Dar, dac\u0103 dau dublu-click pe ea, \u00een loc s\u0103 ruleze filmul, Ubuntu \u00eemi deschide un browser de fi\u0219iere, care \u00eemi arat\u0103 \u201eaudio tracks\u201d, \u201evideo tracks\u201d \u0219i alte informa\u021bii complet neintuitive.<\/p>\n
Concluzia mea este c\u0103 Ubuntu se aliniaz\u0103 cu alte distribu\u021bii care, de ani de zile, sunt mereu \u201epe cale s\u0103\u201d produc\u0103 un sistem pentru utilizatorii atehnici, dar propriu-zis nu au ajuns \u00eenc\u0103 acolo. \u0218tiu c\u0103 mereu este vorba de c\u00e2te un bug izolat (cum a fost cel cu PPPoE de data asta), dar, una peste alta, am f\u0103cut p\u00e2n\u0103 acum probabil vreo 10 instal\u0103ri de Ubuntu \u0219i la fiecare din ele a fost nevoie s\u0103 deschid un terminal, s\u0103 m\u0103 fac root \u0219i s\u0103 c\u00e2rpesc fi\u0219iere de configurare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
