Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Beta Review

Review Last year, Mark Shuttleworth christened Ubuntu 11.04 “Natty Narwhal”, saying the disto would be stylish and create a good, lasting first impression.

While its debut in beta form is smart looking and definitely chases the fashion in operating-system design it’s also the single worst beta release of Ubuntu I’ve ever tested.

That’s not to say there isn’t much to love in Ubuntu 11.04 with the new Unity Interface being the primary news, but even for a beta this release is way too rough. Unity - regardless of what you think of it - isn’t ready for prime time and it seems unlikely Canonical will iron out all its problems before the planned final release in April.

Bugs can be fixed, and there are numerous bugs to fix in this release of Unity, but the larger problem is that Unity, thus far, lacks the functionality of GNOME 2.32. Ubuntu, and its users, would be better served if Unity were not the default desktop for this release.

Unity is a radical departure, but no less so than GNOME 3.0, which has wisely been pushed back until later this year. The problem isn’t that everything you know and love about GNOME is suddenly gone, and Ubuntu 11.04 is, for all intents and purposes a completely different experience than everything that came before it.

The real problem is that Unity can’t do half of what GNOME can do.

If that sounds familiar it might be because the same thing happened to KDE users in the move from KDE 3.x to 4.0. Sadly, rather than learn from the KDE 4 backlash, Canonical has decided to soldier on into the Unity future, whether it’s ready or not. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

On the surface Unity looks good. In fact, Unity will most likely one day trump GNOME in many ways - it’s noticeably snappier than GNOME, works well at just about any screen resolution and even appears to be designed with touch-based devices in mind. Eventually, come Ubuntu 13.04 or so, Unity will seem like a brilliant move, but the transition is going to be bumpy.

The new universal or global menu - which pulls the main menu out of the application window and puts them in the global menu bar - works surprisingly well and is the first of many features that reflect the influence of Apple’s user interface designs. It’s different, but the global menu is probably the easiest change to adjust to - same menus, new location.

Unity’s new launcher/dock is another element that closely mirrors what you’ll find in OS X, though without much of the polish and functionality built-in to Apple’s offering. The dock has some problems and is missing some obvious features, but it’s not hard to see how the dock and accompanying search and launcher tools will eventually be a great time saver.

We have been following Ubuntu 11.04 closely and have thoroughly reviewed Ubuntu Natty Alpha 1, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 releases. While the first two releases dealt with adding more and more features and functionalities primarily, the latest Ubuntu 11.04 beta release and the one prior to that concentrated on actually bringing in more polish and stability to Unity Shell.

And they are indeed doing a pretty good job IMO. After trying out Ubuntu 11.04 beta for sometime, I decided that I need to do a bit more about it than simply testing it out for the sake of reviewing it. And so I installed Ubuntu 11.04 beta replacing my old reliable workhorse, Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat". I have been using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal beta 1 as my primary OS since then.

Ubuntu 11.04 Beta Review, Screenshots
We have been following Ubuntu 11.04 closely and have thoroughly reviewed Ubuntu Natty Alpha 1, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 releases. While the first two releases dealt with adding more and more features and functionalities primarily, the latest Ubuntu 11.04 beta release and the one prior to that concentrated on actually bringing in more polish and stability to Unity Shell.

And they are indeed doing a pretty good job IMO. After trying out Ubuntu 11.04 beta for sometime, I decided that I need to do a bit more about it than simply testing it out for the sake of reviewing it. And so I installed Ubuntu 11.04 beta replacing my old reliable workhorse, Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat". I have been using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal beta 1 as my primary OS since then.

The second screenshot introduces to a new impressive feature. In the Ubuntu installer, there is an option now that lets you upgrade directly from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 using Live CD, a feature I always wished for since it saves a lot of time and bandwidth. A very nifty addition indeed especially because of Ubuntu's 6 month release cycle. Instead of upgrading though, I went on to install it manually completely replacing Ubuntu 10.10.

Essential Keyboard Shortcuts are Now Available
If you are someone who loves to use keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu, this is probably the first Ubuntu Natty release that has taken YOU into account. Alt+F1 takes you straight into first item in the Unity dock menu and can browse through the dock further using up and down keys.

You must be familiar with the feature shown in the above screenshot already which came into existence during the third alpha release of Ubuntu 11.04. Press and hold the Super key and a whole gamut of keyboard shortcuts are displayed.

Number of Minor UI Improvements
Though there are no big changes in terms UI since Unity itself is *the* biggest change, there are indeed a number a minor UI improvements which brings in a lot of polish and finesse to the Unity interface. Unity has developed a number of rough edges as well in the process.

GNOME Control Center in Ubuntu 11.04

Not only did the developers included GNOME Control Center as a default application, there is now an menu item called System Settings(see the screenshot above) that will take you straight to the GNOME Control Center.

Alt+F2 is also available by default though there is no auto completion of application names or commands yet which makes it rather useless. There are already dock items specifically to search for applications as well as files and folders with dedicated shortcut keys.


CompizConfig Settings Manager(CCSM), so far my biggest disappointment. There are many useful compiz animations that I used to use on a daily basis, like desktop zoom functionality for example, which were missing. So I went on to install CCSM. I was in for a nasty surprise. Whenever you try to enable *any* new Compiz animation, Compiz window manager crashes and restarts. This is a very big problem when you consider the fact that everything about Compiz was buttery smooth in the old GNOME desktop.

Now you can hover your mouse pointer over the volume indicator and change the volume by simply scrolling. That's a nice touch.

Now you can drag n' drop files directly into applications docked in the Unity dock and when you drag a file into it, only supported applications are displayed and every other entry fades away. Another nice touch though it has its share of problems. I was trying to move an image file directly into my home folder, but as you can see only Firefox was 'enabled'.

Ubuntu Software Center keeps on improving. Latest Ubuntu Software Center update adds much needed reviews and ratings support. Now you can rate your favorite applications from within Ubuntu Software Center and can even write quick reviews/comments about them.

Things are Not All Hunky Dory
This is the first beta release of Ubuntu 11.04 and there is not even a month left for the final release to happen. I think its time to scrutinize Ubuntu 11.04 a bit more closely. Here are some of the things that requires immediate attention.

* There is no dock resizing options yet. The current dock is very big for my taste. May be an option to hide dock while not in use is also preferable.

* Compiz is not anywhere near stable, rough edges galore.

* As we have noted earlier, drag-drop of files not working properly.

* As of now, you can't drag-drop applications into Unity dock. You need to open the desired application and choose "keep in launcher" option to achieve the same result. Very unintuitive IMO.

* CompizConfig Settings Manager is an absolute disaster. Installing CCSM used to be among the first things I did after installing Ubuntu, but with the current state of affairs it is not at all recommended.

* Global menu won't work as expected every time.

I like where Ubuntu is going with the new Unity interface. Take dock for example, the number of most frequently used apps for me is around 5 to 6 and listing them in the dock makes it so damn easy and preferable to the old GNOME ways any day. Global menu is awesome and Compiz is way better than the Mutter window manager of GNOME Shell. But a number of minor flaws spoiled the overall experience. But yes, this is not the final product and I just hope that Canonical is able to iron out all the issues prior the the final release.

PSN Back up…When?

PSN has been offline since 20 April in the wake of a security breach that saw 77 million account details accessed by a hacker. Obviously it’s really inconvenient and there are lots of people out there who use Sony equipment for entertainment and will be understandably disgruntled about this downtime,” added the consultant.

As things stand the latest update that has come from the PlayStation blog talks about what happens when normal services resume where Debbie Turner of OSM has revealed that there are a few services that will be compensated but asks… It’s a pretty tough question as many gamers will have lost faith because of their credit card details being at risk and already switched over to the Xbox 360. Fingers crossed that that we Westerners have the service resumed soon as many people have been chomping at the bit to play Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat 9 online. Is Sony doing enough for those paying for services?

The heads of Sony held a press conference in which they bowed their heads in shame because of the major PSN compromise. Sony promises to have Playstation Network back up this week!

Unfortunately, Sony lost money on the PlayStation 3 for the first two years, and now they offer multiplayer for free. Anyone remember the big Sony laptop battery debacle? Sure sounds like Sony hasn’t learned their lesson yet.
