RE: [LINUX_Newbies] How To Play DVD In Ubuntu 14.04

 

 

lol your still hitching on that, that's weird gotta be driven from kolensnhshtpshrs  , The premier option on the page is .04 LTS down below is .10.

there has to be a reason for that. I am on many Linux sites and they always ref 14.04 LTS ver not to many .10 ver  

lol that's stupid go back to ver 12.04 when ver 14.04 LTS is stable and working good lol that's your logic definitely not mine

I would use .04 for work and for personal, .04 LTS actually out performs .10 . I may be new to Linux but I'm not new to IT lol

 

check that link.

what ya gonna say now buddy no to performance!? lol

and here's a good reason not to upgrade to the .10 written October 2014

He is basically saying go with LTS it's the wiser choice. logical and makes a lot of sense for support and upgrades etc.

 

what ya gona say now no to logic to!? lol

 

"You probably shouldn't upgrade, and that's awesome

If you've used Linux for a long time, you'll remember a time when every new release felt like a mandatory upgrade. They were always big improvements. Getting new features every six months was fun, sure. But the flip side of the coin was that you wanted to upgrade every six months so your hardware would work a bit better, and that wasn't so fun.

 

Things are different now. The LTS release of Ubuntu isn't just for businesses—it's for average Ubuntu users. You can jump on an LTS release and use it for three years until the next LTS release, or five years if you just don't feel like upgrading. LTS releases get some updated software and even improved hardware support, so they offer more than just security updates. If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, there's really no compelling reason to upgrade to 14.10 Utopic Unicorn."

 

plenty more links for 14.04 lts vs 14.10

To each his own.  However, to call 14.10 a beta is wrong and you know that.
To recommend not running that version in favor of the 14.04.1 LTS version is
a fine idea but you said beta for 14.10.  BTW, just because an active version
is less in version number than the current release is at best delusional.  That
is how Debian Stale works.  However, unless I am wrong, Ubuntu 12.04 is
an LTS release that is still supported by Canonical.  Does that mean that the
user should use the 12.04 in lieu of 14.10 or 14.04.1?  Not at all.  If it was a work
computer and I were to use Ubuntu, I would use 14.04 because of the LTS.  For
my personal desktop I would use 14.10 without hesitation.

lol that's why I said "looks like" that is a hint of uncertainty make sure you "read that more carefully" lol . anyway the premier download seems to be ver 14.04 lts, below is ver .10 plus only supported for 9 months! I would go with the premier product,  like I mentioned before probably a driver issue with .10, you probably will have less issues with 14.04 I know I have not had any issues with it and like I said tested video file and dvd movie no issues.

 

Have an Ubuntu day!

No, he's running the latest release, not a beta. Read more carefully. :)

Ubuntu's numbering system is year and month. 14.04 is from April, 2014,
and the latest is 14.10 from October of last year. However, 14.04 is
what's called LTS, Long Term Support, meaning it will be supported for a
few years--the ones that aren't LTS are only supported for their more
typical life cycle, not sure how long that is.

The first user created is in the sudo group. It allows you to run all
commands as if you were root.
