the mouse does not hangs.

So its the problem with gnome-shell.

Bug reported on redhat bugzill is availiable at bugzilla.redhat.com.

So for those guys this is really an annoying thing, there is a temporary solution  .

Go to tty1 by pressing

Ctrl + Alt + F1

Now login using user name and password, (Number pad doesn't work here)

On successful login

pkill gnome-shell

Now go back to GUi by

Ctrl + Alt + F7

Ubuntu 11.10

It seems like Ubuntu dropped Gnome shell and replaced it with Unity. Oneiric Ocelot will be shipped with Unity as default. But they say it will be much more improved.
Also heard a rumor that Fedora 16 will be shipped with unity.
Oneiric Ocelot will be powered using Linux Kernel 3.0 final
Other changes are improved application switcher, smoother compiz grid plugin and software center also got some improvements.

Burg Bootloader for natty.

Do you think it a booted Os, or a splash of a booting Os?

Can u believe that its a boot loader.

How to install Burg boot loader in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal?

Open up your favorite terminal gnome-terminal or xterm or konsole.

Add ppa to the software source list.


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/burg
sudo apt-get update



Installation


sudo apt -get install burg burg-common burg-emu burg-pc burg-themes burg-themes-common




Use the following commands if the burg is not appeared after rebooting.(Installation of burg to MBR, usually it will be done automatically after burg install).


Remember to substitute ‘hd0′ with the drive on which your MBR is installed. This usually, but not typically, located on your primary HDD.


sudo burg-install hd0
sudo update-burg






Burg ships with a selection of (admittedly pretty) themes by default. To switch/change between theme is simple:

• Reboot
• Press ‘T’ on your keyboard when at the BURG screen
• Using your arrow keys select a theme from the list that appears
• Hit enter for it to be applied

For the newbies the default player in ubuntu is banashee.

But I recommend you to try Amarok.

It can be easily installed from ubuntu software center or Synaptic 

or

Also install the following codecs, the codecs ubuntu recommends is having some problem in my system, these are recommended by the amarok developers.

• libxine1-ffmpeg
• gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

 

Also try clementine and exaile two mediaplayers inspired by amarok
