boxee + Ubuntu 8.04 + USB Stick.

[jeff_porter]

I've now setup Ubuntu 8.04 on a USB stick & installed boxee.

Runs like a dog (very slow), but that could just be the graphics drivers.

:D

And people say I have too much free time!

So are they any speed tips? other than to install it on a proper machine not a usb stick.:p

Turn off vsync. You can do that via the menus, or just edit the guisettings.xml file (set it to zero).

While we're on the subject, can anyone tell me *why* there is this problematic setting? Why is it better to have it at "2" rather than "0"? Should boxee default to 0 so it runs right and then the user can tweak it up?
