Ubuntu下的三个CD/DVD刻录工具
|

================================================================================
|
||||
大约一周前，我的朋友向我寻求一些帮助，是关于在Ubuntu下有哪些好用的CD/DVD刻录软件。此人本是windows的用户，但是由于他使用的Windows软件花费巨大，超出他的承受能力，因此他开始计划尝试使用Linux系统了。为什么不用那些免费的软件来把你喜欢的电影和音乐刻录到光盘里呢？其实windows操作系统中也有免费的替代产品，但是既然我的朋友正在走向Linux世界，让我们给他一些信息，介绍三个可以在Ubuntu Linux系统下使用的免费CD/DVD刻录工具吧。

爱的初体验 —— Semplice Linux 5

================================================================================
|

=========================
|
||||
|
||||
[Semplice][1] 是一个基于Debian GNU/Linux项目的Linux发行版，基于Debian不稳定分支构建。开发者使用不稳定仓库中的软件包，并通过一个自定义图形界面安装程序将这些软件包加以整合。[项目官网][2]介绍说该Semplice不但支持加密LVM卷，而且整合了Openbox窗口管理器，并始终专注于更加快速、轻便的资源，“简约不简单”。该发行版目前支持32位、64位ISO镜像下载，体积大概620MB左右。
|
||||
|
||||
从LiveCD启动后，可以看到一个图形界面窗口，它包括3个标签页，分别用来设置键盘布局、系统语言和所在时区。确认上述设置正确无误后，关闭窗口，就可以看到Openbox界面那明亮的蓝色背景了。在显示器底部我们发现了一个任务切换界面和一个系统托盘。点击鼠标右键可以呼出程序菜单，菜单顶部其中一项就是系统安装程序的入口。

Semplice的系统安装程序同样为图形化界面。程序界面友好，引导步骤也比较清晰。首先，程序会请求我们确认刚才设置的语言、键盘和时区，然后会询问是否要检测安装程序有无更新，我很负责任的选择了“是”，它竟然真的联网找到了自己的新版本，于是，我又下载更新，安装程序自动重启执行更新（……作者你是话唠吗？）接下来，程序要求我们创建一个用户账户，同时，提供了是否激活root账户的选项。Semplice默认是将第一个用户账户作为sudo管理员同时禁用root账户的。尽管如此，我们仍然可以激活root账户再给它设置一个密码。然后，来到磁盘分区界面，程序自动帮我们完成了一套分区建议，当然，你也可以选择自己手动分区。

|
||||
|
||||
这里我发现手动分区会有点尴尬，主要是由于屏幕的布局。另外，我还发现当我尝试建立LVM卷的时候，程序却并不允许，一个对话框会让我输入卷的名称，但是它的“OK”按钮却无法点击，着实让人纳闷。文件系统还是传统的几个，ext2/3/4和ReiserFS，分区之后，它会询问是否要安装GRUB，以上步骤都完成后，最后一步需要我们选择是否开启一些功能与服务，然后就开始正式安装了。安装的同时，安装程序会询问我们是否需要一些额外的工具，例如蓝牙支持、打印机、生产套件、桌面特效、Web应用以及专有软件包，如果你选择需要，程序就会自动将它们拷贝至本地磁盘。整个安装过程只需要几分钟，安装完毕后，需要重启电脑。
|
||||
|
||||
除了基本所需的文本编辑器、计算器、图像浏览、文件管理与档案管理外，Semplice Linux发行版还预装了很多有用的软件，例如Chromium浏览器、Claws Mail邮件客户端、XChat IRC以及Pidgin等聊天软件。另外，下载软件有gFTP和uGet，文档处理有GNU Paint、AbiWord、Gnumeric，娱乐播放有MPlayer、Exaile，刻录工具有xfburn，游戏子菜单下还有一个Tetris的副本拷贝。

|

程序菜单中还有许多有用的配置工具，通过这些工具用户可以对网络设置、系统服务、用户账户等进行轻松配置。同时，系统还提供了程序对Openbox窗口管理器进行管理。在Web应用部分，用户可以以最简方式打开一个web浏览器，用来访问Twitter和Facebook。系统还提供了前往Semplice项目官网的快捷方式。通过深度挖掘，我发现Semplice具有一整套完备的多媒体编码解码器和Adobe Flash插件。系统默认采用的是安全shell服务(OpenSSH)。我还发现系统预装了GNU编译工具集。而在内核方面，Semplice采用3.10版本，能够保证以上各个工具软件正常运行。

Semplice Linux 5 —— 运行各种桌面程序（截图大小241KB，分辨率1280x960）
|
||||
|
||||
使用Semplice工作的过程中我也遇到了一些小问题。比如，当我在虚拟终端运行“top”进程监视器的时候，窗口顶端的系统统计信息会无故消失，稍微折腾了一番，我发现原来是因为虚拟终端的颜色配置导致了文字不可见。但是当我修改主体颜色一段时间以后，下一次我再打开一个终端，主题颜色又回到了以前的默认值。如此反复，每次关闭终端后，我的设置总会丢失。丢失设置的另一个表现是，之前安装过程中配置好的一些服务也失效了，包括蓝牙、打印机支持、Web应用和其他一些项目。

|
||||
|
||||
当时我告诉安装程序不要安装蓝牙和打印软件，但是后来我在服务管理器里还是看到了它俩在活蹦乱跳地运行着。第三个奇怪的问题是，当我尝试连接安全shell服务的时候，总是被告知连接丢失被重置，很快我发现问题原因是由于系统根本就木有生成OpenSSH所需的主机密钥。当我手动生成这些密钥后，就可以使用安全Shell服务了。

新立德（Synaptic）作为通用软件包管理器负责Semplice发行版软件包的管理与更新。通常功能强大的软件包管理器难以兼顾漂亮的外观，但新立德做到了。它允许用户创建一系列行为动作，并且执行迅速，执行的同时还能显示详细的细节信息。Linux发行版一般会从一些不同的软件仓库获取软件，Semplice默认是从Debian的不稳定分支仓库以及其他一些Semplice的自定义仓库中获取。当我初次安装好Semplice的时候，就有137个更新等着我下载安装，体积总共达到了135MB。一周下来，我总共安装了超过200个更新，体积超过200MB。Semplice不愧是基于Debian的不稳定分支，不但更新速度超快，而且采用的都是快速更新的前沿软件包。

Ubuntu Touch: Ubuntu智能手机OS已准备就绪
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Touch 操作系统将可以在Galaxy Nexus，Nexus 4，Nexus 7和Nexus 10这些支持设备上正常使用。其预定于10月17日发布。
|
||||
|
||||
一位Canonical员工在他的博客中写到：
|
||||
|
||||
> “截至今日，正好是我们发布Saucy Salamand(13.04)整一个月。作为那次发行版的一部分，Ubuntu将要发布的ubuntu-touch镜像文件可以安装在所支持的设备上。如果你有一款支持的设备，我鼓励你加入这次体验，你想要了解的一切都可以在它的wiki中找到。你需要一个nexus设备并且需要花点时间下载最新的镜像。如果你发现漏洞，请及时报告，wiki中有帮助链接。”
|
||||
|
||||
你有nexus设备吗？如果有的话，那么你将成为助力Ubuntu touch成为最好操作系统的最佳人选。即使你没有nexus设备，你仍可以通过创建漏洞修复的自动化测试来提供自己的帮助，作出自己的贡献，使漏洞不再出现。分享就是一种关怀，这是使世界更加美好的唯一途径。
|
||||
|
||||
Nicholas Skaggs也写道，QA团队致力于测试每一个稳定发行版，对新功能和特定的软件包集合进行深入测试。你可以在这里阅读更多邮件内容。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu已经发布了他自己的显示服务器——Mir——它将替换古典而运行缓慢的X-Window。此外Canonical 也扩展了Ubuntu dash search，让用户可以在本地搜索Facebook、Yelp、Google Drive及其他几十种服务。

用Python来SSH连接到你的机器
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
是时间写点python代码了。我爱自动化的东西，今天我将告诉大家怎么**使用python通过ssh**连接你的机器，并在上面运行命令。这并不难，但是用python来做也不是很简单，因为要用很多模块和库来完成这个任务。 你是不是很好奇本教程将会使用什么模块呢?
|
||||
|
||||
我们将使用Python中 pexpect 模块的 pxssh 类，它用于处理一些自动化的需求，比如ssh和ftp。想使你的系统管理生活尽可能的简单吗？那么，请关注本教程并且尝试尽可能多的学习吧。OK，OK，看我这里，下面我将给出关于pxssh的一些简单的描述。你也可以在python的交互shell导入pxssh 后，键入help(pxssh)以得到更多关于pxssh的信息。
|
||||
|
||||
###pxssh介绍
|
||||
|
||||
pxssh 基于pexpect。它是pexpect.spawn的扩展类，专门用来建立SSH连接。我经常使用python的pxssh进行ssh连接。 pxssh 使用shell提示符从远程主机来同步输出。为了使这更牛x，它把shell提示符设置的比$或#还独特。这应该可以在大多数Borne/bash或csh shell上工作。
|
||||
|
||||
你可以在[这里][1]看到更多关于pxssh。
|
||||
|
||||
现在开始吧。
|
||||
|
||||
第一步，我们导入所有需要的东西，并且给机器详情分配变量,就像图解1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 1
|
||||
|
||||
之后我们创建一个函数，使用pxssh创建并开始一个到ssh服务器的连接。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 2
|
||||
|
||||
请仔细学习我们是是怎么用try和except来处理错误的.在这里可以阅读更多关于python的错误处理.
|
||||
|
||||
下一步是什么?
|
||||
|
||||
下一步是在两个机器间的ssh连接建立之后，创建一个函数来给机器发送命令.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 3
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 4
|
||||
|
||||
关闭文件并保存它. 现在它已经准备好可以运行了.

Are We Witnessing the Decline of Ubuntu?
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
History is written years after the events it describes. But when the history of free software finally is written, I am increasingly convinced that this last year will be noted as the start of the decline of Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
At first, the idea might seem ridiculous or spiteful. You can still find Ubuntu enthusiasts who exclaim over every move the distribution makes, and journalists still report founder Mark Shuttleworth's every word uncritically.
|
||||
|
||||
Community manager Jono Bacon is working hard to develop a community of app developers for the Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system, and occasionally Ubuntu's commercial arm Canonical announces prestige projects such as working with the Chinese government to develop a [national Chinese operating system][1], or being chosen to deliver the [Steam][2] gaming platform to Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Nor can you deduce too much from the fact that Google trend shows a sharp decline in searches for "[Ubuntu][3]." Except for Android and Mageia, the same can be said of other [major distributions][4]. It is true, though, that none of the other distros have declined as sharply as Ubuntu, which is at less than half its height in October 2007, at a low that it has not been at since June 2006.
|
||||
|
||||
All the same, the suspicion remains. Ubuntu and Canonical have isolated themselves from the free software community that Shuttleworth once hoped to lead. In the last year, the community has signaled repeatedly that at least parts of it feel disempowered.
|
||||
|
||||
Worst of all, in the last year, initiative after initiative has failed, and profitability apparently continues to elude Canonical. All these seem like indicators of organizations that are starting into a tailspin that will be difficult to correct, assuming they are correctable at all.
|
||||
|
||||
###Semi-Splendid Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
The last year is a marked contrast to the first years of Ubuntu. In 2005-2007, Ubuntu was the latest and greatest hope for the Linux desktop, and criticism was limited largely to those who felt that Debian was not given enough credit or distrusted the motives of an eccentric millionaire.
|
||||
|
||||
In those early years, Ubuntu did many things to improve usability on the desktop. Probably the most noticeable was the installed support for multiple languages and keyboard locale switching that are now standard in all major distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Gradually, however, Ubuntu and Canonical began to isolate themselves from the mainstream of the free software community. Shuttleworth's proposals that projects coordinate their releases and emphasize usability were largely ignored. Impatient with the speed of development in GNOME -- and, perhaps, seen as an upstart in the GNOME community -- Shuttleworth began the development of the Unity interface, a design project that intrigued him so much that he stepped down as Canonical CEO to oversee it.
|
||||
|
||||
Unity and all its details quickly became the major focus of new Ubuntu releases. If the package versions were sometimes less up to date as they once were, few noticed as Canonical imposed change after change, effectively giving the design team a veto over the Ubuntu community.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet for all the development effort lavished on Unity, the result was an interface that, for all its eye candy, was better suited for mobile devices than workstations or laptops. According to Distrowatch, only [11 distributions][4] default to Unity, although [79][5] are listed as derived from Ubuntu in general. Nor have other major distributions rushed to make Unity available, much less promote it.
|
||||
|
||||
The same is true of [Upstart][6], Ubuntu's replacement for the init daemon, and more recently, [Mir][7], Ubuntu's replacement for Wayland, which other projects see as the upcoming replacement for the X Window System.
|
||||
|
||||
While both remain free-licensed, in practice both Upstart and Mir are controlled by Canonical, mainly through a [contributor's agreement][8] which assigns all rights to the company.
|
||||
|
||||
This control is perhaps one of the reasons why Intel recently [announced][9] that it would not be supporting Mir. In the last four years, Ubuntu and Canonical have gone from welcome members of the free software community to being perceived as mavericks who obey the letter of free-licenses while undermining their spirit. Few, apparently, are prepared to do them any favors.
|
||||
|
||||
###Placing Its Own House Out of Order
|
||||
|
||||
The more Canonical has isolated itself from the rest of the community, the more it has also attempted to control the Ubuntu community.
|
||||
|
||||
This effort is widely interpreted as the result of increasingly determined efforts to make Canonical profitable. Although Canonical is quick to make support and partnership announcements, [these announcements][10] are always lacking any mention of a monetary value -- an omission that, after nine years of running the business, would seem unthinkable if there was any good news to report. But, whatever the reason, Canonical has increasingly imposed its decisions on the community of Ubuntu volunteers without consulting them.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of these decisions have been trivial in themselves. They range from decisions not to support a completely free-licensed version of Ubuntu or a KDE-based version to the repositioning of title bar icons and the introduction of the [HUD][11] menu replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
However, as in many disputes, the issues involved seem less important than the relationships involved. Unlike Canonical, Ubuntu on a daily basis runs much like any free software project, with discussion and consultation the expected norm. The introduction of a hierarchy with Canonical employees at the top and often wielding a veto power would be likely to cause friction even if done politely -- which, often, it has not been. Instead of welcoming debate, Canonical has been far more apt to urge people to stifle it in the name of making Ubuntu a success.
|
||||
|
||||
Matters came to a head in February 2013, with long-time Ubuntu contributors publicly questioning whether they had any role and many considering quitting (although in practice, only one seems to have).
|
||||
|
||||
These first signs of discontent were quieted largely through the diplomatic efforts of Jono Bacon, only to flare up a couple of months later over the [removal of a community link][11] from the Ubuntu home page.
|
||||
|
||||
Again, Bacon managed to smooth things over, and -- so far as an outsider can tell -- the community has been quiet in the months since. However, the longstanding community grievances are unlikely to have disappeared altogether, for the simple reason that Canonical continues to ignore much of the Ubuntu community. A new outburst seems only a matter of time.
|
||||
|
||||
###Lost without a Compass
|
||||
|
||||
Whether Canonical ever believed that the Ubuntu distribution could be profitable is unknown. Certainly, over a dozen earlier efforts to monetize distributions should have warned the company how unlikely the possibility was. But the years spent polishing Ubuntu suggest that Canonical hopes -- or hoped -- to do the impossible. Or perhaps Canonical simply sees a quality distribution as a pre-requisite to grander goals.
|
||||
|
||||
Either way, spending so much effort on Unity seems to have been a distraction. To this day, Canonical appears to lack a business plan that offers any reasonable chance of profitability.
|
||||
|
||||
To some undocumented extent, efforts like online storage, a music store, or corporate ads in the dash may be defraying the costs of developing Ubuntu. However, if together they make Ubuntu profitable, no one is mentioning the fact. Attempts to cut corners by holding developer's meetings online rather than in person suggest a company that is finding ways to cut corners, not one making a profit.
|
||||
|
||||
Just as important, these efforts can create other problems. In particular, the ads on the dash lead to concerns about privacy and to being called spyware by [Richard Stallman][12]. The ads were also a major prompt for community unrest.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet Canonical has taken over a year to [address the privacy concerns][13] -- and, even then, the lack of details means that it is asking users to trust it.
|
||||
|
||||
Other sidelines, like [Ubuntu TV][14], have yet to materialize. Currently, Ubuntu's main strategy seems to be convergence on multiple form factors, but the advisability of trying to break into a saturated market seems dubious. The Ubuntu Touch interface is scheduled to be released in October with the 13.10 environment, but if any phone manufacturers are shipping products with it pre-installed, then Canonical is saving the announcements for the release date.
|
||||
|
||||
Even worse was the [Ubuntu Edge][15] fundraiser, an attempt to crowdfund a cutting edge boutique phone. Had it worked, then Canonical might have established a small niche in the marketplace.
|
||||
|
||||
However, in the end, only forty percent of its $32 million goal was reached. Canonical tried to put a good face on the results, mainly because of the publicity the crowdfunding campaigned produced. But since the result now mean that Canonical has a reputation for failure among potential business partners, the rationale is hard to accept. The failure of Ubuntu Edge has left Canonical's business plans more indefinite and more unlikely than ever.
|
||||
|
||||
###Waiting for the Next Act
|
||||
|
||||
All this is not to say that either Canonical and Ubuntu are about to disappear overnight. Any decline is just beginning, not at the point of no return. The introduction of new faces, or even determined internal reform could still turn Canonical and Ubuntu around. Perhaps listening to the Ubuntu community would be useful as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Still, the problem remains that, after nine years, Canonical and Ubuntu have yet to succeed. Major contributors to the Linux desktop in their early years, they have not even helped themselves with recent innovations, let alone free software in general. Increasingly, the general impression is one of confusion and desperation, which in itself can contribute to the decline.
|
||||
|
||||
Even without reform, Ubuntu and Canonical may continue to glide on their previous reputations, although the Ubuntu Edge campaign suggests that may be less possible as many imagine. But increasingly, Canonical and Ubuntu seem to have been slipping from the position of leadership they had in their earliest years.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether they can reverse their decline or merely accelerate it by panicky half-measures is uncertain, but watching the possibilities play out should make for an interesting next couple of years.

E-Mail App Geary Gets New Look, New Features
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
*All New Look: Geary 0.4 Is Now Available to Download*
|
||||
|
||||
Alongside an [update to photo utility Shotwell][1] comes a new version of Geary – the popular open-source desktop e-mail app.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s the first release by Yorba, the team behind the client, since it [failed to make its $100,000 crowdfunding goal][2] back in April.
|
||||
|
||||
The lightweight app, a firm favourite of mine for a long time, gains a number of new features in today’s update, many of which have long been requested.
|
||||
|
||||
Geary now has **per-account searching, auto-saving of draft e-mails and a built-in security tool** that checks outgoing links for malicious content.
|
||||
|
||||
The look of the app, which has always put focus on mail first and chrome second, has also been updated.
|
||||
|
||||
The sidebar, which now displays an **unread count per folder**, uses a new set of monochrome icons for accounts and folders; the toolbar has been refreshed with new ‘menu buttons’.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Geary’s new menu buttons and sidebar icons*
|
||||
|
||||
The e-mail list hides unstarred and read status icons by default, opting to reveal them on mouse-over. When checked, however, they remain visible.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Top – Bottom: Unread & Starred; Read and Unstarred; Unread*
|
||||
|
||||
**Install Geary 0.4 In Ubuntu**
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re using **Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04** then you can [grab this release from the Yorba PPA][3].
|
||||
|
||||
Open up a new *Terminal window* and enter the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/ppa
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install geary
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 users will find it available in the [Ubuntu Software Center][4].

Flower Coil, retro challenging puzzle game (Ubuntu Software Center)翻译中
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Flower Coil is a retro game centering a simplistic-yet-enjoyable action, forcing the user to attentively utilize each and each movement, in oder to complete the tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, the gamer is packed with sliding movements, movements centered on the actor, actor bound by a predefined number of available movements, gaming plot stressing the brain while carefully calculating the next steps.
|
||||
|
||||
Flower Coil comes with puzzle and arcade game types, as well as pairing the simplistic bundle of visuals with a vivid alert-like music, the result: launching the game, the user is to harness each second (especially in the arcade mode) and pixel of the screen, in order to become victorious.
|
||||
|
||||
Selecting arcade on the main view, adds a more energetic rhythm to the game, action now conducted in relation to a certain time interval, arcade increasing the level of alertness.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Flower Coil is freely [available][1] via Ubuntu Software Center.

GTK3-based Twitter App ‘Corebird’ In Development
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Corebird is a Twitter app with an interface reminiscent of Twitter’s [official app](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12%27) for OS X.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird – written by an Arch user – has a look and feature set with GNOME 3.10 in mind.
|
||||
|
||||
The interface uses GTK3, so it’ll feel right at home alongside your other GTK-based apps. Corebird makes full use of the new Header Bars that we highlighted in [our top features][2] from the latest GNOME 3.10 release. The header shows your Twitter handle, avatar, and a button to quickly compose a new tweet, consolidating what might’ve been a separate toolbar into a single, compact header.
|
||||
|
||||
Though the interface may be tuned for GNOME 3.10, the features packed into the app are bound to make friends amongst Twitter addicts using GNOME or otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features ##
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird resembles, in some ways, the official Twitter app for Mac (and that’s a good thing!) and has the feature set to show for it. Retweet, favourite, follow, search, profile view, conversations, media uploads, and a number of other features are all in working order.
|
||||
|
||||
If you manage several accounts, multi-account setups are also supported, though be aware that the latest builds remove configured accounts when you close and reopen the app.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*A Corebird notification on the GNOME lock screen.*
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird also makes use of notifications on the GNOME lockscreen, displaying the number of Twitter notifications when you make your way back to your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The app comes with both light and dark themes, making it easier on your eyes when Twittering at night. A handful of other settings, including which notifications to display and a toggle for showing inline media, are also available in the compact settings dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Get Corebird ##
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re still using 13.04, you might be out of luck. Corebird uses new features from GNOME 3.10 that most likely won’t make their way to Ubuntu 13.04. If you’ve upgraded to 13.10 ahead of its release next week, GNOME 3.10 is already available for Saucy in the sundry GNOME 3 PPAs.
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird is still in development and a PPA hasn’t been made available (though it is currently in the [Arch User Repository][3] if any Arch users have wandered in), so you’ll need to build Corebird by hand.
|
||||
|
||||
The project is a promising sign given the number of other Linux Twitter apps that’ve seen their development slow down – e.g., Birdie which failed to reach its [crowdfunding goal][5] earlier this summer.
|
||||
|
||||
And if Corebird isn’t your cup of tea, check out [gFeedline][6]), another GTK3-based Twitter app.

How to Install the iOS 7 Icons in Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**This is a small and simple tutorial that will help you install all the Icons from the new iOS 7 operating system from Apple into your Ubuntu 12.04, 13.04, and 13.10.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The installation of icons might not seem like much, but it’s actually a very important part of the ecosystem. You wouldn't recognize Ubuntu so easily if Canonical didn’t use the same type of icons in every release, with only small differences.
|
||||
|
||||
It used to be difficult to install themes, icons, and mouse cursors, but things got a lot easier over the years. To get a new set of icons installed, you only need to run a few commands from a terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
Before we begin, you need to heed a small word of caution. The PPA presented in this article will only work for Ubuntu 12.04. This is because this icon set, the only one which correctly replicates the models from iOS 7, is made for elementary OS, which in turn is based on Ubuntu 12.04.
|
||||
|
||||
This being said, the icons can also be installed for Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10, with a slightly different approach.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need another piece of software that must be used to enable the icons. We recommend GNOME Tweak Tool, but there are a few others available if you really wish it.
|
||||
|
||||
To install GNOME Tweak Tool just run the following command in a terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
|
||||
|
||||
You will find the application in Ubuntu under the name of Tweak Tool.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to get the PPA and icon in your Ubuntu 12.04 operating system, you only need to run a few commands in a terminal near you:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-br/projects
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ieos7-icons
|
||||
|
||||
For Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10, you will have to manually download the files and also install it from a terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
wget -c https://launchpad.net/~elementary-br/+archive/projects/+files/ieos7-icons_0.1-0~13~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb
|
||||
sudo dpkg -i ieos7-icons_0.1-0~13~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb
|
||||
|
||||
If by any chance you will find that the deb installation stops for whatever reason, just run `sudo apt-get install -f` find any dependency issues and finish the job.
|
||||
|
||||
This pack only holds about 300 icons, so you might find that a few of the applications on your operating systems still retain the old look.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy your iOS 7 icons!

Installing XScreenSaver In Ubuntu
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
This tutorial intention is to show you how to add screen savers in Ubuntu 12.04 (although in other Ubuntu versions) which does not with any screen savers. But, many people new to computers and Linux, don’t know about the screensaver, what is a screensaver?
|
||||
|
||||
A screensaver is a computer program used primarily for security. This program blanks the screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use. A screensaver can also be used for entertainment or to display system status information. It is a very good solution while you plan to leave your office and don’t want anybody to see what you working on.
|
||||
|
||||
**How does a screensaver makes my computer secure?**
|
||||
|
||||
A screensaver can be configured to ask users for a password before permitting the user to resume work, but be careful because if you have set set your account to automatically log in upon startup the attacker will be able to access your account simply by restarting the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to install a screensaver?**
|
||||
|
||||
Fire up a new terminal like shown in Figure 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 1
|
||||
|
||||
Before installing a new screensaver we have to remove the default one. Run the ‘**sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver**’ command shown in Figure 2 to uninstall gnome-screensaver.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 2
|
||||
|
||||
Install XScreenSaver and some additional screensaver packages with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra
|
||||
|
||||

Mark Shuttleworth Thinks Apple Used the Ubuntu Edge Convergence Idea for iPhone 5S
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Canonical's founder, Mark Shuttleworth, has made an interesting statement that ties together the concept of the Ubuntu Egde superphone and the new iPhone 5S.
|
||||
|
||||
A couple of months ago, Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth tried to raise money in order to build a phone that was supposed to be the “Formula 1” of mobile devices. It failed, but he thinks that Apple has taken some inspiration from the concept of the Ubuntu Edge.
|
||||
|
||||
"I think [Ubuntu Edge] may have accelerated the idea of convergence. You saw Apple's description of their new mobile CPU as 'desktop class' and I don't think that's accidental," he said in an interview for [ZDnet][1].
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical's founder may have some inside information that’s unavailable to us, but that’s an interesting speculation coming from someone who has no interest in drawing gratuitous parallels.
|
||||
|
||||
It remains to be seen if Apple follows the convergence path drawn by Canonical's Ubuntu Edge.

Music App ‘Musique’ Adds Album Sorting, Gapless Playback and Playlist Tweaks
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Sorting Options Features in Musique 1.3 (OS X Screenshot)*
|
||||
|
||||
**It’s a good week for music fans on Linux. Following the recent update to Banshee comes a new release of the lightweight Qt music player Musique.**
|
||||
|
||||
[Musique 1.3][1] builds on the core feature set found in previous versions by adding the much-requested **option to sort artists and albums** in the grid views by name, popularity, year, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Also new in this update is a “reworked” playlist that now shows a small album cover thumbnail for the playing track; notifications on song change; and support for gapless playback for those using the GStreamer Phonon backend.
|
||||
|
||||
Various bug fixes are also included, as are performance improvements in the album and artist grids, and a wider selection of image formats for local album art.
|
||||
|
||||
Musique 1.3 will be **available from the Ubuntu Software Center in the next few days** (currently waiting on approval).
|
||||
|
||||
In the mean time you can install version 1.1 from the Software Center by hitting the button below. Ubuntu will automatically upgrade this to the newest version as soon as it’s been given the nod.

On Security Backdoors
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
I [wrote][1] Monday about revelations that the NSA might have been inserting backdoors into security standards. Today I want to talk through two cases where the NSA has been accused of backdooring standards, and use these cases to differentiate between two types of backdoors.
|
||||
|
||||
The first case concerns a NIST standard, [SP 800-90A][2], which specifies a type of PseudoRandom Generator (PRG). A PRG is a computation that takes a small number of random/unpredictable bits and “stretches” them to get a larger number of unpredictable bits. PRGs are essential to cryptography, serving as the source for most of the secret keys that are used. If you can “break” somebody’s PRG, you can predict which secret keys they will use, thereby allowing you to defeat their crypto.
|
||||
|
||||
The standard gave a choice of several core algorithms to choose from. One of them uses a mathematical construct called an Elliptic Curve (EC) which I won’t try to explain in this space. This algorithm uses two “public parameters” called P and Q, which are points on the EC. P and Q are public, with specific values written into the standard.
|
||||
|
||||
Cryptographers believed that if you picked P and Q randomly, the PRG would be secure. But in 2006 two private-sector cryptographers figured out that there is a way to pick P and Q so they have a special relationship to each other. An “outsider” wouldn’t be able to tell that the special relationship existed, but if you knew the “secret key” that described the relationship between P and Q, then you could easily defeat the security of the PRG.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, several facts become suddenly interesting. First, NSA people seemed very intent on including this specific algorithm in the standard despite its slow performance. Second, NSA was suggesting specific values of P and Q. Third, NSA was not explaining how those particular P and Q values had been chosen. Interesting, no?
|
||||
|
||||
All of this could have been addressed by having some kind of public procedure by which new, random P and Q values would be chosen. But that didn’t happen.
|
||||
|
||||
Yesterday NIST [re-opened][3] SP 800-90A for public comment.
|
||||
|
||||
The second example was explained by John Gilmore. John described his observations from the IPSEC standards process. IPSEC was meant as a foundational security technology, providing crypto for confidentiality and integrity of individual IP packets on the Internet. A successful and widely deployed IPSEC would have been a game-changer for Internet security, putting lots of traffic under cryptographic protection.
|
||||
|
||||
John says that NSA people and their allies worked consistently to make the standard less secure, more complicated, less efficient, and harder to implement securely. He didn’t see a smoking-gun attempt to introduce a backdoor, but what he describes is a consistent effort to undermine the effectiveness of the standard. And indeed, IPSEC has not had anything like the impact one might have expected.
|
||||
|
||||
These examples shows us two different kinds of backdoors. In the first PRG case, the NSA was accused of trying to create a backdoor that only it could use, because only it knew the secret key relating P to Q. In the second IPSEC case, the accusation was that the NSA was weakening users’ security against all attackers—the NSA would have easier access to your data, but so would all sorts of other people.
|
||||
|
||||
To be sure, even a private backdoor might not stay private. If there is a magic secret key that lets the NSA spy on everyone, that key might be misused or it might leak. So the line between an NSA-only backdoor and an open backdoor is always a bit blurry.
|
||||
|
||||
Still, it seems to me that the two types of backdoors call for different policy debates. It’s one thing to secretly give the NSA easier access to everyone’s data. It’s another thing to give everyone easier access. The latter is worse.
|
||||
We need to look as well at how a backdoor might be created. In the PRG example, the backdoor would have required the NSA to slip a subtle cryptographic weakness past the crypto experts working on a standard. In the IPSEC example, creating the weakness would seem to require coordinated public activity in the standards body over time, and the individual steps would surely be noticed even if nobody spotted a pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
But one has to wonder whether these examples really were NSA attempts to undermine security, or whether they’re just false alarms. We can’t be sure. As long as the NSA has a license to undermine security standards, we’ll have to be suspicious of any standard in which they participate.

Open source is brutal: an interview with Google's Chris DiBona
|
||||
==============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Chris DiBona is the Director of Open Source for Google. He is also one of the great champions of open source, dating back to when he first fell in love with Linux at his university.
|
||||
|
||||
At the All Things Open conference this year, Chris will give an update on Google's current open source software activities and a retrospective, of sorts, on the origins and state of Android.
|
||||
|
||||
I caught up with him to discuss his favourite Linux distribution, the brutal nature of open source, and his view of Google's responsibilities as an industry leader.
|
||||
|
||||
Read more in this interview.
|
||||
|
||||
What's something we don't know about your path to Google and working with open source?
|
||||
|
||||
> I first used Linux while I was at school, as we needed to write some client/server stuff for the operating systems class I was taking. Fortuitously for me, the Sun workstation lab was crowded, very hot due to poor ventilation, smelly (coder odor), and the terminals were very very slow. I figured, what the heck, let's give this Linux thing a shot on a 486-16 I had lying around at home. Best decision ever. I fell in love with the Linux OS. It was so great, fast, and feature-full even back then compared to other unixes. I got an A in the OS class, too.
|
||||
|
||||
A question almost as dangerous as asking about your favourite sports team; what's your favourite Linux distribution?
|
||||
|
||||
> Ha! A flip answer would be Android as that's the device with a Linux kernel that I use more than anything else by two orders of magnitude, though most people don't consider it a distribution in the common way we talk about them. I'm typing the reply to this question on Chrome running on a Ubuntu/Debian derivative. I'm running a Debian instance on Google compute engine and I have a Fedora machine at home that I use from time to time. I carry a Chomebook around for most of my presentations and feel it's probably the most secure machine I own.
|
||||
|
||||
> Favorite though? Android.
|
||||
|
||||
You spent a long time working with open source and Linux before moving to Google in 2004. What made you want to work with Google?
|
||||
|
||||
> When I decided to return to full time work after a brief period consulting, Google's offer was the strongest and the most interesting to me. The idea of being able to be Google's 'open source person' and to build the effort from scratch was deeply appealing to me. I also felt that Google was (and is) still doing really interesting computer science and that appealed to me in ways that the other offers didn't.
|
||||
|
||||
Not only do you mentor and consult on a variety of different projects, you're also involved with Google Ventures, helping to fund startups, so what is it that you look for in a project? What makes you say: "Yes, I want to help you"?
|
||||
|
||||
> Well, honestly, I am mostly looking for it to be interesting. For Google Ventures, I am not really in the deal flow so much as I'm brought in on open source issues (which are interesting and legion).
|
||||
|
||||
In an interview a few years ago you said, "Google works with the open source community. Sponsorship implies stewardship, and that's a pretty serious thing." Does Google hope to avoid stewardship in the communities it's involved in? Are the two inextricably linked?
|
||||
|

> I think so. I would rather Google engineers and non-google open source engineers see each other as peers in computer science. We do realize that our broad funding of open source projects can imply stewardship like control of projects, but you know, that's how it goes even if that sort of thing doesn't really correlate.
|
||||
|
||||
You once called open source “brutal”. What did you mean by that?
|
||||
|
||||
> Well, I think I was asked why open source works and when you think about how software engineering management works in industry, it shouldn't. Disparate, distributed, non-homogenous teams are extremely difficult to run in a company, but in open source it creates some world-class terrific software. Why is that?
|
||||
|
||||
> I think that it is because open source projects are able to only work with the productive people and ignore everyone else. That behavior can come across as very harsh or exclusionary, and that's because it is that: brutally harsh and exclusionary of anyone who isn't contributing.
|
||||
|
||||
> This is why project forking is so important. If a person is rejected from a project for whatever reason, they can fork and take the project in a new direction, and if their ideas and execution is superior to the primary project, that fork becomes the new reality and those people that rejected that developer are now the rejected.
|
||||
|
||||
> So, I guess what I'm saying is that survival of the fittest as practiced in the open source world is a pretty brutal mechanism, but it works very very well for producing quality software. Boy is it hard on newcomers though...
|
||||
|
||||
Fourteen years ago, you edited an O'Reilly book about open source. Has the landscape of open source changed much in those years? Do you think open source will overtake the proprietary model in the future?
|
||||
|
||||
> The landscape has changed a bit, with the notable demographic difference being that we've seen a growth in the number of people in companies working on open source, and I perceive a slight decline in open source participation in the academy, which I blame on the tech-transfer/bayh-dole patenting process being a real barrier to code licensing. Similarly, some open source coming out of universities and companies simply isn't open source enough as there is a fair amount of side dealing going around on around patents. I'm tempted to say that if it isn't a patent granting license, you should be suspicious, but that's probably a bit extreme a position to take at this time.

The Debian OpenSSL Bug: Backdoor or Security Accident?
|
||||
======================================================
|
||||
|
||||
On Monday, Ed wrote about [Software Transparency][1], the idea that software is more resistant to intentional backdoors (and unintentional security vulnerabilities) if the process used to create it is transparent. Elements of software transparency include the availability of source code and the ability to read or contribute to a project’s issue tracker or internal developer discussion. He mentioned a case that I want to discuss in detail: in 2008, the Debian Project (a popular Linux distribution used for many web servers) [announced][2] that the pseudorandom number generator in Debian’s version of [OpenSSL][3] was broken and insecure.
|
||||
|
||||
First, some background: A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is a program F that, given a short random seed s, gives you a long stream of bits F(s) which appear to be random. If you and I put in the same seed s, we’ll get the same stream of bits. But if I choose s at random and don’t tell you what it is, you can’t predict F(s) at all—as far as you’re concerned, F(s) might as well be random. The OpenSSL PRNG tries to grab some unpredictable information (“entropy”) from the system, such as the current process ID, the contents of some memory that are likely to be different (for example, uninitialized memory which is or might be controlled by other processes) and so on, and turns these into the seed s. Then it gives back the random stream F(s).
|
||||
|
||||
In 2006, in order to [fix warnings][4] spit out by [a tool][5] that can help find memory access bugs in software, one of the Debian maintainers [decided to comment][6] [out two lines of code][7] in the OpenSSL PRNG. It turns out that these lines were important: they were responsible for grabbing almost all of the unpredictable entropy that became the seed for the OpenSSL PRNG. Without them, the PRNG only had 32,767 choices for s, so there were only that many possible choices for F(s).
|
||||
|
||||
And so programs that relied on the OpenSSL random number generator weren’t seeing nearly as much randomness as they thought they were. One such program generates the cryptographic keys used for SSL (secure web browsing) and SSH (secure remote login). Critically, these keys have to be random: if you can guess what my secret key is, you can break into anything I protect using that key. That means you have the ability to read encrypted traffic, [log into remote servers[8], [or to make forged messages appear authentic][9]. Because the vulnerability had first been introduced in late 2006, the bug also [made its way into Ubuntu][10] (another popular Linux distribution widely used for web servers). All told, the bug affected thousands of servers and [persisted for a long time][11] because patching the affected servers was not enough to fix the problem—you also had to replace any predictable weak keys you had made while the vulnerability was present.
|
||||
|
||||
As an aside, the problem of finding entropy to feed pseudorandom number generators is [famously][12] [hard][13]. Indeed, it’s still a [big challenge][14] to get right even today. Errors in randomness are hard to detect, because if you just eyeball the output, it will look random-ish and will change each time you run the program. Weak randomness can be very hard to spot, but it can render the cryptography in a (seemingly) secure system useless. Still, the Debian bug was obvious enough that it inspired a [lot of ridicule][15] [in the security community][16] once it was discovered.
|
||||
|
||||
So was this problem a backdoor, purposefully introduced? It seems unlikely. The maintainer who made the change, [Kurt Roeckx][17], was later [made Secretary of the Debian Project][18], suggesting that he’s a real and trustworthy person and probably not a fake identity made up by the NSA to insert a vulnerability. The Debian Project is famous for requiring significant effort to reach the inner circle. And in this case, the mistake itself was not completely damning—a [cascade of failures][19] made the vulnerability possible and contributed to its severity.
|
||||
|
||||
But the vulnerability did happen in a transparent setting. Everything that was done was done in public. And yet the vulnerability still got introduced and wasn’t noticed for a long time. That’s in part because all the transparency made for a lot of noise, so the people to whom the vulnerability would have been obvious weren’t paying attention. But it’s also because the vulnerability was subtle and the system wasn’t designed to make the impact of the change obvious to a casual observer.
|
||||
|
||||
Does that mean that software transparency doesn’t help? I don’t think so—lots of people agree that transparent software is more secure than non-transparent software. But that doesn’t mean failures can’t still happen or that we should be less vigilant just because lots of other people can see what’s going on.
|
||||
|
||||
At the very least, transparency lets us look back, years later, and figure out what caused the bug—in this case, engineering error and not deliberate sabotage.

The Linux Backdoor Attempt of 2003
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
Josh [wrote][1] recently about a serious security bug that appeared in Debian Linux back in 2006, and whether it was really a backdoor inserted by the NSA. (He concluded that it probably was not.)
|
||||
|
||||
Today I want to write about another [incident][2], in 2003, in which someone tried to backdoor the Linux kernel. This one was definitely an attempt to insert a backdoor. But we don’t know who it was that made the attempt—and we probably never will.
|
||||
|
||||
Back in 2003 Linux used a system called BitKeeper to store the master copy of the Linux source code. If a developer wanted to propose a modification to the Linux code, they would submit their proposed change, and it would go through an organized approval process to decide whether the change would be accepted into the master code. Every change to the master code would come with a short explanation, which always included a pointer to the record of its approval.
|
||||
|
||||
But some people didn’t like BitKeeper, so a second copy of the source code was kept so that developers could get the code via another code system called CVS. The CVS copy of the code was a direct clone of the primary BitKeeper copy.
|
||||
|
||||
But on Nov. 5, 2003, Larry McVoy [noticed][3] that there was a code change in the CVS copy that did not have a pointer to a record of approval. Investigation showed that the change had never been approved and, stranger yet, that this change did not appear in the primary BitKeeper repository at all. Further investigation determined that someone had apparently broken in (electronically) to the CVS server and inserted this change.
|
||||
|
||||
What did the change do? This is where it gets really interesting. The change modified the code of a Linux function called wait4, which a program could use to wait for something to happen. Specifically, it added these two lines of code:
|
||||
|
||||
if ((options == (__WCLONE|__WALL)) && (current->uid = 0))
|
||||
retval = -EINVAL;
|
||||
|
||||
[Exercise for readers who know the C programming language: What is unusual about this code? Answer appears below.]
|
||||
|
||||
A casual reading by an expert would interpret this as innocuous error-checking code to make wait4 return an error code when wait4 was called in a certain way that was forbidden by the documentation. But a really careful expert reader would notice that, near the end of the first line, it said “= 0” rather than “== 0”. The normal thing to write in code like this is “== 0”, which tests whether the user ID of the currently running code (current->uid) is equal to zero, without modifying the user ID. But what actually appears is “= 0”, which has the effect of setting the user ID to zero.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting the user ID to zero is a problem because user ID number zero is the “root” user, which is allowed to do absolutely anything it wants—to access all data, change the behavior of all code, and to compromise entirely the security of all parts of the system. So the effect of this code is to give root privileges to any piece of software that called wait4 in a particular way that is supposed to be invalid. In other words … it’s a classic backdoor.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a very clever piece of work. It looks like innocuous error checking, but it’s really a back door. And it was slipped into the code outside the normal approval process, to avoid any possibility that the approval process would notice what was up.
|
||||
|
||||
But the attempt didn’t work, because the Linux team was careful enough to notice that that this code was in the CVS repository without having gone through the normal approval process. Score one for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Could this have been an NSA attack? Maybe. But there were many others who had the skill and motivation to carry out this attack. Unless somebody confesses, or a smoking-gun document turns up, we’ll never know.

Ubuntu 13.10 Review: A great Linux desktop gets better
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
***Summary**: Ubuntu 13.10 may not be the most exciting desktop Linux, but it is very solid and contains many useful new features.*
|
||||
|
||||
Many hardcore desktop fans still haven't forgiven Ubuntu for switching to its Unity interface. Others dislike how [Canonical][2], [Ubuntu][2]'s parent company, has gone its own way with such technical issues as working on the Mir display stack instead of the more mainstream Wayland. And, some people dislike how Ubuntu is combining "local" searches with Web searches. So what!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Ubuntu 13.10 launches next week. Here's an early review.*
|
||||
|
||||
Here's all that really matters. Back in April 2011, Ubuntu's founder, Mark Shuttleworth said that the purpose of Ubuntu's new path was "to bring the [joys and freedoms and innovation and performance and security that have always been part of the Linux platform, to a consumer audience.][3]" He's done it.
|
||||
|
||||
Sure, Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, which has just gone into its final release candidate stage, isn't a desktop Linux that a Linux techie who still compiles his or her kernels from source code can love. But, it's not meant to be that kind of desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
It's meant to be a Linux desktop that anyone, say my now 81-year old mother-in-law can use. From that standpoint Ubuntu has been a success and this one week from final release version is even more of a win for people who just want to use a computer without tears.
|
||||
|
||||
To see how it was doing this time, I've been running the Ubuntu beta and the release candidate on two test systems. The first test box was my 2007 Dell Inspiron 530S, which is powered by a 2.2-GHz Intel Pentium E2200 dual-core processor. This PC has 4GBs of RAM, a 500GB SATA (Serial ATA) drive, and an Integrated Intel 3100 GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) chip set. The second was a 2008-vintage Gateway DX4710. This PC is powered by a 2.5-GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processor, 6GBs of RAM, and a 1TB SATA drive. and also used an Intel GMA 3100 for graphics.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation was a cinch on all these systems. While I didn't try to install Ubuntu on a system locked down with Windows 8 Secure Boot, there are [good instructions on how to put Ubuntu on Windows 8 PCs][4] and other systems that use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
|
||||
|
||||
One nice new feature about the installation is that during it, you're asked to either login or open a free [Ubuntu One][5] cloud service account. Ubuntu One is a Dropbox-like storage service which comes with 5GBs of no-cost storage. The [commercial version, at $39.95][6], gives you 20GBs of storage and music streaming. While this service works hand-in-glove with Ubuntu you can also its storage from Windows, Mac OS, Android and iOS.
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing I noticed once I had it installed was that on both of these older systems, Ubuntu 13.10 ran like a top. If you have an older PC of your own and you're concerned about its fast approaching XP expiration date, keep in mind that Ubuntu, and other easy-to-use Linux distributions such as Mint run just fine on hardware that Windows 7 and above might find too slow.
|
||||
|
||||
Looking under the hood, here's what I found. First, the Saucy Salamander is running the [Linux 3.11 kernel][7].
|
||||
|
||||
Above this foundation, you'll find the graphics stack. It was supposed to be Mir, but on PCs Mir just isn't ready for prime time. The Mir graphics stack has also faced both internal opposition from Ubuntu-related distributions such as [Kubuntu][8] and [external rejection from Intel][9].
|
||||
|
||||
The end result is that Ubuntu 13.10 will still be using the old Xorg-server 1.4.3 by default. You can elect to try Mir if you're feeling adventuresome. If you're going to be running Ubuntu on a smartphone, aka [Ubuntu Touch, you will be using the Mir graphics stack][10].
|
||||
|
||||
If you're a developer, this is a big deal. As Joe or Jane user, you won't notice it. For example, until Valve's Ubuntu-based SteamOS ships, Ubuntu is still going to be the best Linux for gaming.
|
||||
|
||||
Above the graphics stack you'll find the GNOME 3.8-based Unity 7 interface. The new [Unity 8 interface][11], which emphasizes the use of the screen's edges to control a computing device, will be used in Ubuntu Touch 13.10, but it won't be the default on the desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
If you really can't stand Unity, you can easily install your Linux desktop of choice. Or, you can simply use another [Ubuntu-based Linux distribution][12] such as Kubuntu for KDE users, Mint for Cinnamon fans, or [Lubuntu][13] for LXDE enthusiasts. While the main Ubuntu with Unity is meant for new users, you really can run Ubuntu with any Linux desktop you like.
|
||||
|
||||
When the software for this edition of Ubuntu was being decided upon, it looked as if Chromium, the open-source version of Google's Chrome Web browser, would be the browser of choice. That didn't happen. Instead, Firefox 24 will be the default Web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
The other applications will also be familiar to any Ubuntu or Linux desktop user. They'll include LibreOffice 4.12 for the office suite; Thunderbird 24 for the e-mail client, Gimp 2.8.6 for photo editing, and Rhythmbox 2.99.1 as the default music player.
|
||||
|
||||
The most noticeable new feature to casual users will be [Smart Scopes][14], formerly known as Lens. When Lens was first introduced, all it did was integrate Amazon search results with local Unity Dash search results. This default feature was made eventually made optional.
|
||||
|
||||
In Ubuntu 13.10, when you search with Unity Dash you'll have the option of having your local search not only look into Amazon but in Facebook, Google Drive, Yelp, and dozens of other online Web sites as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how it works. When you enter a search term in the Unity Dash, Ubuntu will try to guess which searches are appropriate. So, for example, if I searched for "Mumford & Sons," it will search not just my PC, but for the group on the Web under the music category.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these categories has multiple sources, or scopes. For example, selecting the "Reference" category will ensure that [Wikipedia][15]; [Wordnik][16], an online dictionary; and [Zotero][17], an Evernote-like program that works with Linux, are used for sources.
|
||||
|
||||
Worried about privacy on your Web-based searches? Ubuntu has addressed this by anonymizing both searches and their results.
|
||||
|
||||
Say you still don't want to have a thing to do with Web searches from your desktop? Don't sweat it. You can turn all of them off from Settings/Security & Privacy/Search. Or, what I recommend is you take the following steps to use only the online search scopes you feel comfortable with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Open the Application Scope (Super, aka Windows key, +A).
|
||||
- Scroll down to Dash plugins.
|
||||
- Select “See X more results.”
|
||||
- Click on the Scope you want to disable.
|
||||
- Click “Disable.”
|
||||
|
||||
Frankly, after some tweaking, I really like this feature. I also like the rest of Ubuntu 13.10.
|
||||
|
||||
I've been using the operating system now for several weeks. It's worked well for me as a fast, secure and easy-to-use desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
While Unity isn't quite to my personal taste, Shuttleworth has been successful in making a Linux desktop that anyone can use. Don't believe me? Download [Saucy Salamander][18] and see for yourself.

Ubuntu 13.10 vs. Ubuntu 13.04: Reasons to Upgrade
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is scheduled for launch on October 17, but users of the previous operating systems from Canonical are wondering why they should upgrade at all, given the fact that the new one doesn't seem to have too many features.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical has been focusing on quality and on improving the existing features rather than making any drastic changes. This meant that the last two versions of Ubuntu didn't have much to show for, at least on the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) has been called boring, among other things, but people don't realize that a lot of work is put behind every release of Ubuntu, even if it's not accompanied by any major visual changes.
|
||||
|
||||
So, why should you upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10 if there won't be any noticeable changes for the average user? Although it might seem that almost nothing has changed, the truth is that a lot of things have been upgraded, and that's always a good thing (most of the time).
|
||||
|
||||
The most important is, of course, the new Linux kernel 3.11.x, which is now the latest stable version available at the time of the launch. It comes with support for more devices and hardware components, better power management, and a ton of other improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
Then there is the upgrade for GNOME. Canonical may sport the Unity desktop environment, but they still use a lot of GNOME packages. Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) now comes with applications from the 3.8 branch, which is excellent news, especially for the Ubuntu GNOME flavor.
|
||||
|
||||
The Smart Scopes are also a big improvement over the former Lens feature. They are a lot better integrated and provide more to-the-point answers.
|
||||
|
||||
The security settings have been overhauled and users now have a lot more control over the traffic made by the operating system. It's possible to stop any communications between your PC or laptop and Canonical servers.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 is also a cornerstone for the package format. Until now, all the apps available for the Ubuntu came in a deb format, but the user had to have the dependencies installed or they had to do it separately.
|
||||
|
||||
With the new Click format, all the dependencies are now available from the package itself, which in theory means that you won't find any software incompatible with your distribution, if the developers use the Ubuntu SDK.
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least, Unity has also received a multitude of improvements and should work much better than in any of the previous versions of Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
If all these reasons are not enough to make you upgrade, then you should wait for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but there is no guarantee that it's not going to “look” largely the same like Ubuntu 13.10.

Ubuntu Desktop Guide updated for Saucy in Ubuntu 13.10
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Every Ubuntu version contains by default Ubuntu Desktop Guide, handy document useful to familiarize the user with Ubuntu's relevant features and capabilities via an easily-graspable bundle of informations.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, **Ubuntu Desktop Guide** presents itself as a clickable manner of navigating through a categorized set of informations about the current Ubuntu version, permitting 1-click away manners of digesting its knowledge; for example, launching the handy guide, the user is to notice clickable links (such `as What's new in Ubuntu 13.10?, Sound, video & picture, Files, folders & search`), clicking on a preferred link, populates the guide with informations specific to the just-clicked link, among which several other clickable links.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Desktop Guide has been updated for **Ubuntu 13.10**, landing in Saucy Salamander via the regular updates, replacing the Raring-specific desktop guide with an up-to-date guide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Launching the newly-landed Ubuntu Desktop Guide, displays on its main view accurate informations, like for example `What's new in Ubuntu 13.10`?, allowing newcomers to extend their understanding of the powerful Ubuntu 13.10 operating system.

Ubuntu developers announced Oxide, Chromium-powered library to be used in Ubuntu Touch's web-browser and Ubuntu SDK by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
By installing Ubuntu, 30 million users from all over the world get an immediately-usable and powerful operating system, as well as security and maintenance support specific to the installed version of Ubuntu (LTS or standard).
|
||||
|
||||
As a consequence, the developers are developing Ubuntu with multiple scenarios, necessities and requirements in mind, among which ability to provide the latest technology trends to the users, security, speed and an overall optimal experience, bundle of goals achieved with carefully-selected libraries, default applications and sane means of consuming content.
|
||||
|
||||
The developers have [announced][1] **Oxide**, essentially, a library permitting the embedding of **Chromium-powered** webviews in applications, Oxide deeply managed by Ubuntu, in order to provide the best web-related experience both in the now and in the upcoming years.
|
||||
|
||||
"**Oxide is a library that allows you to embed a Chromium-powered webview in QML applications**. It currently provides a fairly trivial API that is quite similar to the current QML QtWebkit webview API for simple use cases, although it is nowhere near feature complete yet".
|
||||
|
||||
Oxide is based on the open-source web-browser Chromium, yet, providing the exact set of features required by Ubuntu, Oxide that is to fit perfectly in Ubuntu's upcoming converged experience.
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment, Oxide features:
|
||||
|
||||
- back, forward and reload actions
|
||||
- load URLs
|
||||
- multiple webviews support
|
||||
- user scripts
|
||||
|
||||
essentially, an in-progress yet relevant pack of capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet, Oxide stands on interesting to-be-achieved goals, such as:
|
||||
|
||||
- accelerated compositing
|
||||
- solid navigation
|
||||
- dialog support (authentication, alert, confirm, prompt)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As the official **goal**, Oxide is to be used by Ubuntu Touch's web-browser and Ubuntu SDK in **Ubuntu 14.04 LTS**, Ubuntu version that is to be supported for five years.
|
||||
|
||||
Oxide is not a mere concept, but real code with already-available capabilities, interested developers and users can digest its code on [https://launchpad.net/oxide][2]
|
||||
|
||||
"**If you want to [help out][3] with this**, feel free to grab me on IRC – I’ve got plenty of work I can hand out".

Weather App updated with subtle color refinements
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Gradually, as seen in the latest months, Ubuntu converged is gaining a massive amount of software, software including under-the-hood services, modern Unity 8, Ubuntu developers-only applications, as well as the [core applications][1], latter being produced by a meaningful collaboration between talented third-party developers, Ubuntu developers and Ubuntu designers.
|
||||
|
||||
During the latest weeks, [Weather App][2] has seen numerous optimizations and refinements, polish effort aimed at delivering a stable version of the weather application in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
Weather App comes with support for multiple cities and a rich range of weather values, values (like for example, Celsius degrees) expressed in relation to predefined colors; for example, the value 20 degrees Celsius is rendered with an orange-to-red color, while lower temperatures are expressed with green-to-gray color tones.
|
||||
|
||||
Weather App has been updated to a minor-yet-interesting release, bringing, along with bug fixes, more dark colors for the vividly-rendered color tones on its views.
|
||||
|
||||
Meaning, high temperatures (such as 20 degrees Celsius) retain the same orange-to-red color, yet, their color vitality has been decreased by eliminating percentages of light, while adding subtle-yet-noticeable dark tones.
|
||||
|
||||
The result: the weather's colors are now more pleasant to the eye featuring more calm colors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How do we **install** Weather App 0.3?
|
||||
Add the following **official** PPA (Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 13.10)
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily

eBook Conversion Software Calibre Improves with Each New Version
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Version 1.6 of the eBook reader and management software Calibre has been announced on August 9, marking a milestone for this amazing program.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The developer is no longer releasing Calibre in small increments and has decided to increase the pace of the numbering.
|
||||
|
||||
Calibre 1.6 comes with a new cool feature called book marking. According to the changelog, this feature allows users to select books from the Calibre library manually and mark them. This “mark” will remain until you restart Calibre or clear the marks. The files marked with this method can be manipulated separately from the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
To use this feature, users will have to go to Preferences->Toolbars and add the “Mark Books” tool to the main toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
Other changes include the addition of Wolne Lektury and Amazon (Canada) eBook stores, better handling to hyperlinks in footnotes and endnotes for DOCX documents, a driver for Sunstech reader, improvements for the E-book viewer, an option to not condense CSS rules for margin, padding, border, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of fixes were also added. For example, a locking error that occurred when the composite columns containing formats were used and formats were added/deleted has been fixed, selecting all books with Ctrl+A no longer causes subsequent deselects to not fully work, and a regression that broke the import/export of bookmarks has been fixed, just to name a few.
|
||||
|
||||
A complete changelog can be found in the [announcement][1]. You can also check out our [review of Calibre][2].
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that if you want to compile the software yourself, you will need GLIBC 2.10 or higher, and xdg-utils and python ≥ 2.6 installed (3.x will not work). More details about the required dependencies can be found on the official website.

我们正在见证Ubuntu的没落？
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
真正的历史总在事情发生多年以后才会写就。但是，当将来某天自由软件的历史最终定稿的时候，我始终相信，今年，将作为Ubuntu没落的初始之年而被载入史册。
|
||||
|
||||
起初，这个想法可能看起来荒谬可笑或者不怀好意。因为你仍能看到Ubuntu的狂热支持者们在为其每一个发行版的改进鼓掌叫好呐喊助威；记者们也还在谄媚地报道Ubuntu创始人Mark Shuttleworth所说的每一句话；
|
||||
|
||||
社区负责人Jono Bacon正在为Ubuntu Touch移动操作系统开发一个新的应用开发者社区；最近，Ubuntu的商业部门Canonical还公布了一些重大项目，例如与中国政府合作，为其开发[国家级的中文操作系统][1]，以及被Linux基金会选中负责实现[Steam][2]游戏平台等等。
|
||||
|
||||
然而，[Ubuntu在Google上搜索量][3]的锐减趋势也许能说明一些问题。除了Android和Mageia，其他Linux[主流发行版][4]情况虽然与Ubuntu类似，都有所下降，但事实是，即便这样，却没有哪个发行版像Ubuntu一样下降得如此厉害 —— 搜索量还不到2007年10月的一半，为2006年六月以来的最低值。
|
||||
|
||||
一直以来，质疑都在持续。Shuttleworth曾经希望能引领自由软件，但现在Ubuntu和Canonical已经将他们自己孤立于自由软件社区之外。就在去年，社区已经多次暗示，它至少部分感到权利被剥夺。
|
||||
|
||||
最糟糕的的是，去年，Ubuntu发起的倡议一再被否决，Canonical盈利能力也出现了明显的持续下降。所有这些现象，看起来好像其决策层已经陷入一片难以挽回的混乱，当然，如果这些真的可以挽回的话。
|
||||
|
||||
###半途而废
|
||||
|
||||
和去年形成鲜明对比的是Ubuntu的早几年。2005年到2007年，三年间，Ubuntu成为了Linux桌面世界最新最伟大的希望之星，连评论界都鲜见关于Ubuntu的负面文章，在此之前，评论界一直在声讨Debian注资不足或是质疑某个古怪暴发户投资的动机。
|
||||
|
||||
在那些风光的年月里，Ubuntu确实做出了很多努力，大大推进了Linux桌面系统的易用性与普遍性。也许最值得铭记的就是它对多语言环境和键盘区域切换（键盘多输入法？）的支持，现在这已成为各大主流发行版的标准。
|
||||
|
||||
但好景不长，渐渐地，Ubuntu和Canonical开始将自己孤立于主流自由软件社区之外。Shuttleworth的那些美好初衷，诸如项目协作、强调易用性等等，都被严重忽略了。GNOME开发也开始变得急功近利 —— GNOME社区也许认为这是一种进步 —— Shuttleworth甘愿放弃Canonical CEO的职位，也要参与主导开发让他疯狂着迷的Unity。
|
||||
|
||||
由此，Unity以及与之相关的一切迅速成为了新版Ubuntu发布的关注焦点。由于Canonical不断要求完善的压力（很少有人注意到这是跳票的真正原因），有时软件包的开发像之前一样无法赶上发布进度，这样就使得开发团队总是无法得到Ubuntu社区的肯定。
|
||||
|
||||
在这种情况下，开发团队被迫将所有的精力都放在了Unity上，结果就是，华而不实的Unity终于能更好地匹配在移动设备，而不是工作站或笔记本电脑上了。经Distrowatch的统计，尽管有多达[75个发行版][5]是由Ubuntu衍生而来，但其中只有[11个发行版][4]默认采用了Unity。Ubuntu家族尚且如此，其他的主流发行版就更不会采用Unity了，更不要说推动它的发展。
|
||||
|
||||
同样的情况还发生在[Upstart][6]上，Ubuntu使用它代替了init服务；最近，Ubuntu还用[Mir][7]代替了Wayland，而被替换下场的Wayland，正是其他发行版一直看好的X系统的最佳替代者。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu为什么要这么做？Upstart和Mir虽然都保留着自由软件许可，但其实它们都在Canonical的实际控制之下，Canonical主要通过[贡献者协议][8]将所有权利都划归到了公司手里。
|
||||
|
||||
这种控制也许就是Intel最近[宣布][9]它将不再支持Mir的原因。在过去4年里，Ubuntu和Canonical已经从最受自由软件社区欢迎的成员变成了表面遵守自由软件许可暗地里却背道而驰的牛犊子。现在，这个圈子里已经没有人再愿意帮它任何忙了。
|
||||
|
||||
###后院起火
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical将自己孤立得越发遥远，它却越想控制整个Ubuntu社区。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical之所以这样，也许可以解释为这是越来越坚定想努力盈利的结果。尽管Canonical一直在忙于宣布获得了新的合作与支持，但是[这些声明][10]中却总是缺少任何提及合作资金数额的词句。要说这是遗漏了？经过长达九年的商业化运行，很难想象他们会漏掉任何可以报道的好消息。但是，无论原因是什么，Canonical已经越来越多地不经任何商讨，就将它的决定强加给志愿者社区。
|
||||
|
||||
其中的许多决定都是很琐碎的。范围从决定不再支持完全自由许可的Ubuntu版本或者一个基于KDE的版本到标题栏图标的重新定位，以及替换[HUD][11]菜单的介绍。
|
||||
|
||||
其实，在争论中，解决问题并不是最重要的，重要的是解决问题时人们之间的关系。与Canonical不同，Ubuntu每天的运行看起来就像是任何预期中规范的自由软件项目一样，有讨论有商议。而Canonical呢？据说，Canonical公司中的高级雇员经常滥用否决权，即便是礼貌的否定，都可能会导致摩擦 —— 更何况，这种否定还常常是粗鲁的。Canonical已经不再欢迎开诚布公的讨论，而是借着“为了让Ubuntu成功”的名义越来越倾向于扼杀人们的不同意见。
|
||||
|
||||
矛盾积蓄久了终会爆发。经过长时间的公开质问，Ubuntu社区贡献者们的地位仍得不到肯定，2013年2月，许多人开始考虑退出社区（事实上，貌似只有一个人付诸行动）
|
||||
|
||||
表达不满的首次发声很快就被Jono Bacon老练的公关手段平息下来，但也仅仅过了几个月，由于Ubuntu首页上[通往社区的链接被移除][11]，矛盾再次爆发。
|
||||
|
||||
Bacon再一次平息了事态，在局外人看来，这几个月社区似乎重新归于平静。但是长期积累的不满不可能完全消失，理由很简单，Canonical一直都在无视Ubuntu社区。矛盾再次爆发看起来只是时间问题。
|
||||
|
||||
###迷失方向
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical是否曾经相信Ubuntu发行版能够盈利，这我们不得而知。当然，之前无数的教训已经警告了Canonical，为赚钱而生的发行版成功的几率有多渺茫。但是多年来在Ubuntu上付出的努力似乎表明Canonical希望——或者曾经希望——能将不可能变为可能。又或者，也许Canonical只是简单地将一个优秀发行版看作是其宏伟目标的踏脚石。
|
||||
|
||||
一方面，如今看来，在Unity上付出如此多的努力已经是一步错棋。直到今天，Canonical似乎仍然缺乏一个商业计划为其带来任何可以盈利的合理机会。
|
||||
|
||||
至于那些周边产品，诸如在线存储、音乐商店、或者Dash中的合作广告，这些努力可能有助于弥补开发Ubuntu所需的花销，但要说这些东西就能帮助Ubuntu盈利，没人会张这个嘴。而用在线会议代替实际会议，这只能说明一家公司正在寻找削减开支的手段，而不是盈利的方法。
|
||||
|
||||
更重要的，这些“努力”会导致新的问题。其中格外要提到的是，Dash中的广告已经导致了对个人隐私的担忧，甚至被[Richard Stallman][12]称之为间谍软件。这些广告还加重了社区的不满情绪。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical用了一年时间来[解决个人隐私问题][13]，但即使这样，缺乏足够的细节说明它只是想让用户们相信它。
|
||||
|
||||
其他方面，像[Ubuntu TV][14]，仍然没有成形。当然，Ubuntu的主战略看起来正向多样化多元素靠拢，但是尝试闯入一个饱和市场，其合理性仍然值得怀疑。Ubuntu Touch计划于10月份同13.10一起发布，但是如果有手机制造商要搭载预装产品，Canonical还将推迟发布日期。
|
||||
|
||||
更糟的是[Ubuntu Edge][15]投资人计划，该计划打算通过众筹基金打造一款时尚前卫的经典手机，如果能够成功，Canonical就可以在市场中为其建立一个小生态圈。
|
||||
|
||||
然而，最终3200万美元的筹资目标只达到了四成，Canonical对此只能“强颜欢笑”，因为参与众筹的投资者们也确实为产品卖力的宣传了。但是这个结果意味着Canonical在潜在的商业伙伴眼中背上了失败者的名声，现实就是如此残酷。Ubuntu Edge的失败给Canonical的商业计划留下的是更多的不确定性，希望愈加渺茫。
|
||||
|
||||
###拭目以待

||||

以上我所写的这些并不是说一夜之间Canonical和Ubuntu就会消失。任何“没落”都才刚刚开始，并不是无法挽回。管理层引进新面孔，或者执行内部改革，都有可能让Canonical和Ubuntu重新振作。也许倾听Ubuntu社区的声音也是一个好的选择。
|
||||
|
||||
如果问题依旧，即使再过一个9年，Canonical和Ubuntu也不会成功。Linux桌面那些早年的主要贡献者，他们甚至都没有对自己的代码有所创新，更不要提一般的自由软件了。长此以往，要么困惑要么绝望，都将会加速Ubuntu的没落。
|
||||
|
||||
如果不加以改革，Ubuntu和Canonical也许能改变之前失败者的印象，尽管Ubuntu Edge项目表明这种可能性并不大。但是，渐渐地，Canonical和Ubuntu已经开始失去他们多年来拥有的领袖地位。
|
||||
|
||||
到底是扭转颓势，还是依靠不疼不痒的措施加速没落，这些都是未知数。接下来的这几年会很有趣，充满变数，让我们拭目以待！

Linux平台上的Audacious 3.4回顾
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**在Linux平台上，虽然音乐播放器软件多如牛毛，但是称得上音乐播放器这个名称的为数不多。Audacious是一款非常知名的软件，并且就是这些能被叫做音乐播放器的少数软件之一。**
|
||||
|
||||
**版本回顾：Audacious 3.4**
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious是一款开源的音乐播放器软件。 作为XMMS播放器软件的分支，Audacious播放器可以随心所欲的播放你的音乐，并且不会抢占其他任务的系统资源。 在你的所有音乐库里，你可以进行拖动文件夹和放置私人的歌曲文件、搜索歌手和专辑或者编辑你的自定义播放列表等操作。
|
||||
|
||||
**特性:**
|
||||
|
||||
- 聆听CD
|
||||
- 简洁的播放列表
|
||||
- 清爽的界面
|
||||
- 轻量级的系统资源利用
|
||||
- 多种音效设置
|
||||
- 大量的plugins
|
||||
|
||||
在Linux平台上并不缺乏音乐播放器软件，但每过去一年，这种类型的软件定义变得越來越模糊。开发商正在实验新的东西，他们尝试着模仿其他平台的软件以及从其他平台复制有特色的功能过来。
|
||||
|
||||
今天在用的大多数播放器，至少是一些主要的发布版本，已经尝试着加入一些功能，并不仅仅是一个简单的媒体播放器。开发商已经实现了在线电台、广播，甚至在界面上就可以直接购买音乐的功能。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然这种创新是值得提倡的，但在音频播放器上做的太过火了。开发商已经忘记了这软件的主要作用。虽然不用打开网络浏览器就能购买音乐很不错，但是一款音频播放软件不应该把此功能当作核心。
|
||||
|
||||
我们现在看看Audacious，一款在Linux平台上的“老校友”式的音频播放软件，仍在更新及增加新血液，它不会为了要得到所有第三方服务而改变核心功能。
|
||||
|
||||
## 安装 ##
|
||||
|
||||
有复杂的和简单的两种方式来安装Audacious。复杂的方式即从源代码开始编译安装。没有必要这样做，如果选择从源代码编译开始，用相同的方法安装任意更新将是非常繁琐的过程。
|
||||
|
||||
我们已经在Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)系统上安装了Audacious 3.4。虽然Ubuntu 13.10系统仍然处于测试阶段，但是除了一个异常外它已经被证实是一个稳定的操作系统。
|
||||
|
||||
这个软件的最新版本是在官方资料库已经可用，可以通过Ubuntu软件中心安装或使用终端来安装。通常，我们建议用后种方式，因为Ubuntu软件中心需要一些依赖的软件登录，即使它们是免费的，而且最好看看在安装过程中具体的发生了什么。
|
||||
|
||||
打开终端，输入如下的命令：
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install audacious
|
||||
|
||||
当所有的包都已安装结束，像平时一样，打开Unity Dash，键入应用程序的名称，你就能找到这个播放器的快捷图标。
|
||||
|
||||
## 优点 ##
|
||||
|
||||
我最喜欢Audacious的就是它清爽干净，而不是伪装简单的界面。从一开始，你会发现，一切都已经设计了这样一种方式，你几乎不可能会犯任何错误。
|
||||
|
||||
不像它的一些竞争对手软件（对，我说的就是Rythmbox），为了导入一个简单的文件夹，你将四处摸索此功能所在何处。它不会用各样的排序你的音乐库的方式来打扰用户，显示歌曲的元数据也不是侵入式的。
|
||||
|
||||
它还配备了一个非常简单和高效的悬停界面，当你想看到一首歌的细节，但你不想点击该特定项目，这是非常有用的。
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious还配备了三个不同的可以使老用户回到以前所用的“真正的”音频播放器的可视化模型，并且所有的都可以修改和定制。
|
||||
|
||||
所有你期望一个媒体播放器所具有的其他选项，它都具有，谈论他们不是主要目的。您可以导入播放列表，设置重复点，甚至还有一个非常简单和良好的均衡。
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious的优势之一是默认包括的音效，如去除人声，采样率转换器，通道混合器，速度和间距，以及更多。
|
||||
|
||||
从偏好设置里，大量的插件也可以被激活，如：专辑封面，歌词，状态图标，GNOME快捷键，和其他的等。请注意，所有这些插件在默认情况下是禁用的，他们得由用户手工开启，以便使界面干净漂亮。
|
||||
|
||||
## 不足 ##
|
||||
|
||||
关于此软件的评论，我可能会有点主观，因为我真的不能忍受过于复杂的音频播放器，Audacious正对我的胃口。但是，说句公道话，我曾经是爱过能够添加排序字段的播放列表功能的。
|
||||
|
||||
这款应用还具备第二个“Winamp”模式的特性，这使它看起来像Windows平台上的Winamp播放器，不幸的是，每次我试着激它的时候Audacious崩溃了，但也可能是因为Ubuntu13.10目前还不稳定。
|
||||
|
||||
## 总结 ##
|
||||
|
||||
如果您正在寻找仍挂靠在过去但也集成了一些新的功能的音频播放器，你应该试试Audacious。
|
||||
|
||||
该软件有一个简单的界面，它几乎不占用任何系统资源，没有任何花里胡哨的功能，这也正是它的样子。Audacious播放音乐，就这样，一点也不突兀。

联系人应用已经支持高级avatar功能
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
为下一代Ubuntu设计的新一代软件们正在通过多方面的支持逐步的建立起来，包括了一组由第三方的程序员和Ubntu程序员还有Ubuntu的设计者们一起开发出来的核心软件，同样还有由Ubuntu的开发者和设计者们创建出来的软件。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在官方的开发出来的软件们中有一个联系人应用程序，它非常的容易上手，并且是一个拥有友好界面的联系人信息收集管理程序。拥有许多可以编辑的字段。 快速滚动条 还有被列出来的项目还会提供一个有趣的相关联系的应用（正在研发中。）
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[联系人应用][1]被更新了另外的一个附加的功能，正在展现出来的[最近几个新的][2]功能。也就是所说的 avatar的联系人支持
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在它的上一个版本中，用户可以通过联系人中心选择avatars的支持。现在在主界面中也开始支持图片显示了。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
意思是，点击一个联系人，按下下方的`编辑`按钮来为这个联系人添加一个虚拟的头像在之前单色图标的位置，在点击保存之后那个那个头像就会被保存下来了。之后回到主界面就能够看到之前添加的头像了，之前的单色调的方块图片被我们替换成刚刚添加的图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
此外，avatar可以将四角变成圆角，用于美化联系人的显示。如果用户选择的话甚至可以同时将缩略图也美化成圆角的，其实对于avatar来说，一般情况都是采用没有棱角的图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
还有更多的功能呦~点击那些已经开启avatar的联系人。点开联系人，在用户查看之前保存图片的地方，可以新的图片替换掉就 图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
联系人应用已经[可以][3]在Ubuntu13.10的 Ubuntu软件中心中找到了，并且可用用来安装使用或者用来做测试。

Flower Coil，一个颇具挑战性的复古风益智游戏
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Flower Coil是一个简单但有趣的复古风游戏，用户为了要完成任务，必须要通过认真的思考，一步一步谨慎的移动角色才行。
|
||||
|
||||
基本上来说，玩家主要操作就是控制游戏中的角色，让他平滑的移动。游戏环节的重点是玩家要仔细的计算下一步操作，因为角色在完成每个任务时都有预定好的最多移动步数。
|
||||
|
||||
Flower Coil有解谜和街机两种模式，同时配以简约的视图效果以及活泼的提示音乐，这样做的效果是：从启动游戏时起，用户就要利用好每一秒钟（尤其是在街机模式中）和屏幕的每一个像素才能获得胜利。
|
||||
|
||||
在主界面选择街机模式，打开一段充满活力的旋律，现在就开始行动吧，在有限的时间里，通过你机警的操作打通各个关卡！
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Flower Coil可以通过Ubuntu软件中心免费进行[下载][1]。

如何在Ubuntu中用上iOS 7的图标
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**这个简单的教程，将会教你，如何在你的Ubuntu（12.04、13.04、13.10）上使用高端大气上档次的苹果iOS 7系统新图标。**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
上面是效果图，安装完的图标虽然看起来有些不像。但是对于Ubuntu的每一次发行版都使用相同的图标来说，这已经让我们的审美得到升华了。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
以前在Ubuntu安装主题、图标甚至是鼠标光标，那叫一个麻烦，但是近几年这事变得容易多了。想要安装新的图标，只需要输入几条命令就行。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在开始之前，请注意一下。本文使用的PPA(Personal Package Archives)只能在Ubuntu 12.04上运行。这是因为，在复制iOS的图标时候是在Ubuntu 12.04版本上建立的。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，正如开始提到的，这些图标可以在Ubuntu 13.04 和 Ubuntu 13.10上使用，只是需要改变一点小小的操作。
|
||||
|
||||
除此之外，你需要一个小软件使这些图标生效。我们推荐使用GNOME Tweak Tool，当然你也可以根据自己的习惯选择。
|
||||
|
||||
下面教程开始：
|
||||
|
||||
打开终端，安装GNOME Tweak Tool：
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
|

|
||||
|
||||
wget -c https://launchpad.net/~elementary-br/+archive/projects/+files/ieos7-icons_0.1-0~13~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb
|
||||
sudo dpkg -i ieos7-icons_0.1-0~13~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb
|
||||
|
||||
如果你发现deb包安装失败，无论什么原因，只需要运行：
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install -f
|
||||
|
||||
修复完依赖关系，再次运行：
|

|
||||
sudo dpkg -i ieos7-icons_0.1-0~13~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
这个图标集大概有300个，所以有些应用程序的图标还是老样子。
|
||||
|
||||
享受你的新图标吧！

在Ubuntu中安装XscreenSaver--屏幕保护
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
这个教程将会给你展示如何在Ubuntu 12.04(也包含其他Ubuntu版本)中加入屏幕保护，它们原本不包含任何屏幕保护的。但是，一些对计算机或linux不熟悉的人，并不了解屏幕保护.到底屏幕保护能做什么呢?
|
||||
|
||||
屏幕保护是一个主要用于安全的的计算机程序.当计算机空闲时,这个程序会清空屏幕或者在屏幕上填满移动的图片或样式。屏幕保护也可以用于娱乐或显示系统信息。当你打算离开办公室又不想让任何人看你电脑上的信息时,屏保程序将是绝佳的解决方案。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**屏幕保护怎么让我的电脑变得更安全?**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
屏幕保护能配置成在允许用户继续工作之前要求用户输入密码。但是请留意，如果设置为在启动机器后自动登入帐号，那么攻击者可以轻易的重启机器来登入你的帐号.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**怎么安装屏幕保护?**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
打开一个新的终端(ctrl+alt+T)，如图一所示。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图一
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在安装一个新的屏幕保护之前我们必须卸载默认屏幕保护,运行 'sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver' ，见图二。

||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|

开源是冷酷无情的：谷歌Chris DiBona访谈
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Chris DiBona是谷歌开源执行总监。他也是开源界杰出的领军人物，对开源的关注可以追溯到他的大学时期，对Linux可谓一见钟情。
|
||||
|
||||
在今年的 ”一切皆开源“ 大会上，Chris 将会介绍谷歌开源软件事业的各个方面，包括其进展、前景等，还有Android的起源和现况。
|
||||
|
||||
我去见他，和他一起讨论他最喜欢的linux发行版，开源的无情法则，以及他对谷歌作为业界领袖应有的责任的看法。
|
||||
|
||||
以下是访谈详情。
|
||||
|
||||
问：对于你加入谷歌并且在开源部门展开工作，有那些方面是我们所不知道的？
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
第一次使用linux是在上学的时候，由于当时选修了操作系统课程，为此，我打算写一些 有关客户端/服务器 的东西。很幸运，
|
||||
那时候Sun工作站实验室很热闹，因为公开探讨问题的风气使然，编码味十足，但是使用的终端跑得相当慢。我在想，瓶颈在哪，
|
||||
不妨就用一直都摆放在家里的一台486-16上试试这个linux到底怎么样。相当棒的决定。从此我喜欢上了linux系统。linux太棒了，
|
||||
跑得很快，而且与其他unix系统相比，功能齐全。OS这门课，我也得了A。
|
||||
|
||||
问：下面这个问题跟询问你最喜欢的球队一样很危险；你最喜欢哪个linux发行版？
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
哈！我很想说是Android，因为Android是基于linux内核的，而我对linux内核的使用频度远远超过其他一些东西。尽管通常情况
|
||||
下讨论Android时，多数人都不把它当做一个发行版。我的回答同样适用于在Ubuntu/Debian衍生版本上运行的Chrome浏览器，如果有
|
||||
人针对Chrome这样问的话。我在谷歌计算引擎上运行的是Debian，在家里则经常用Fedora。出席公共场合的时候，大多数情况下我携
|
||||
带Chomebook, 感觉用它最安全。
|
||||
最喜欢的？ Android。
|
||||
|
||||
问：2004年加入谷歌之前，你在开源和linux领域投入了许多时间，是什么原因促使你加入谷歌?
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
从事咨询方面的工作一段简短的时间之后，当我决定开始全职工作，谷歌的offer对我来说最富有吸引力。 成为谷歌开源人、白
|
||||
手起家开始创业的想法深深地打动了我。我自己也认为谷歌过去，包括现在仍然在做计算机科学方面 有意思的东西，而且以各
|
||||
种方式吸引着我，这些不是其他offer所具有的。
|
||||
|
||||
问：你不但指导各种项目的开发，而且也参与了Google Ventures，为该项目的启动注资，那么你在一个项目中想要寻找什么，是什
|
||||
么让你说出这样的话：”是的，我就是想帮你” ?
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
呃，坦白说，我希望它是令人感兴趣的。对于Google Ventures，我并不需要过多的深入其中， 开源问题就不同了，有趣而且参
|
||||
与者众多。
|
||||
|
||||
问：多年前的一次采访中你曾经说过：”谷歌与开源社区同行。赞助意味着责任，这是相当严肃的一件事情。“谷歌是否打算避免在自
|
||||
己参与的社区中担责，二者之间存在必然联系吗？
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
我想是这样的。我希望谷歌工程师和非谷歌开源界的工程师都能把对方看做计算机科学领域的同侪。 我们得意识到，对开源项
|
||||
目的广泛资助预示着责任，比如项目控制，大家都知道，事情就应该这么做，即使真的没什么联系。
|
||||
|
||||
问：你曾经称开源”无情“,具体是什么意思?
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
呃，我还以为你会问为什么开源可以行得通，什么时候会考虑开源软件工程管理在业内是如何运作，但是你没有。不同特性的团
|
||||
队在公司里的运作时及其不同的，但是在开源领域，可以创作出世界级的非常优秀的软件。为什么会这样？
|
||||
|
||||
因为我认为，在开源项目中，你可以选择只和富有成效的人一起工作而忽视其他人。这种行为被理解为非常尖刻和排斥性的。
|
||||
然而实情原本就如此：无情并别排斥那些无所贡献的人。
|
||||
|
||||
然而这就是为什么项目克隆如此重要。无论出于什么原因，如果一个人被排斥在一个项目之外，那么他们可以克隆该项目然后使
|
||||
该项目朝着不同的方向发展。假如他们的想法及实现优于先前被拒绝加入的项目，那么，好吧，这次克隆成为新的现实，而那些拒绝
|
||||
别的开发者加入的家伙现在则尝到了被拒绝的滋味。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，我要说的是，开源世界里，实践出来的最合适的东西才会赢得生存的命运，这是相当无情的机制。但是这样行得通，可以
|
||||
开发出高质量的软件。诚然，对新手来说比较难上手……
|
||||
|
||||
问：14年前，你编辑过一本O'Reilly出版的有关开源的书。这些年开源领域是否了发生大的变化？你认为将来开源模式会取代专有模
|
||||
式吗？
|
||||
|
||||
答：
|
||||
开源界确实发生了一些变化，非常显著的一点就是公司里从事开源工作的人数的增长。而且我还觉察到学术界参与开源的人数有
|
||||
所下降，我把它归咎于技术转让专利申请，对代码许可权确实是个障碍。类似的，一些来自大学和公司的开源代码不足以称之为开源
|
||||
，因为围绕着专利要应付相当多的问题。我很想说要不是有专利授权许可，我们应该都持怀疑态度，但是在这个时候说这样的话就有
|
||||
可能走向极端了。

揭秘！—— 2003年Linux后门事件
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
最近Josh写了[一篇文章][1]，讲述2006年Debian Linux中出现的一系列安全bug，探讨了这些所谓bug是否是NSA植入的后门。（最后他作出结论：可能不是）
|
||||
|
||||
今天我想讲述的是另外一个[事件][2]——2003年某些人试图在Linux内核中植入后门的故事。这次事件很明确，的确有人想植入后门，只是我们不知道此人是谁，而且，也许永远都不会知道了。
|
||||
|
||||
时间回到2003年，当时Linux使用一套叫做BitKeeper的系统来存储Linux源代码的主拷贝。如果开发者想要提交一份针对源码的修改，就必须经过一套严格的审核过程，以决定这份修改是否能够合并进主拷贝。每个针对主拷贝的修改都必须附带一段说明，说明当中都包括了一个记录相应审核过程的链接。
|
||||
|
||||
但是有些人不喜欢BitKeeper，于是这些开发者们就用另一套叫做CVS的系统，维护了一份Linux源代码的拷贝，这样他们就能随时按自己喜欢的方式获取Linux源代码了。CVS中的代码其实就是直接克隆了BitKeeper中的代码。
|
||||
|
||||
但是在2003年11月5日的时候，Larry McVoy[发现][3]，CVS中的代码拷贝有一处改动并没有包含记录审核的链接。调查显示，这一处改动由陌生人添加，而且从未经过审核，不仅如此，在BitKeeper仓库的主拷贝中，这一处改动竟然压根就不存在。经过进一步调查后，可以明确，显然有人入侵了CVS的服务器并植入了此处改动。
|
||||
|
||||
神秘人物究竟做了哪些改动？这才是真正有趣的地方。改动修改的是Linux中一个叫wait4的函数，程序可以使用该函数进行挂起操作，以等待某些事件的触发。神秘人物添加的，就是下面这两行代码：
|
||||
|
||||
if ((options == (__WCLONE|__WALL)) && (current->uid = 0))
|
||||
retval = -EINVAL;
|
||||
|
||||
[有C语言编程经验的人也许会问：这两行代码有什么特别的？请接着往下看]
|
||||
|
||||
猛地一看，好像这两行代码就是一段正常的错误校验代码，当wait4函数被某种文档中禁止的方式调用时，wait4就返回一个错误代码。但是一个真正认真的程序猿立刻就会发现代码中的问题，注意看在第一行末尾，“= 0”应该是“== 0”才对。是的，“== 0”在这里才是判断当前运行代码的用户ID(current->uid)是否等于0，而“= 0”不但无法判断，反而修改了用户ID的值，即，将其值赋值为0。
|
||||
|
||||
将用户ID设置为0，这是一个很严重的问题，因为ID为0的用户正是“root”，而root账户可以在系统中做任何事情，包括访问所有数据、修改任意代码的行为，能够危及到整个系统各个部分的安全。因此，这段代码的影响就是通过特殊手段使得任何调用wait4函数的软件都拥有了root权限。换句话说，这就是一个典型的后门。
|
||||
|
||||
客观地说，这一招很漂亮。看起来就像是无关紧要的错误校验，但真是身份却是一个后门。而且它混在其他经过审核的代码中间，几乎规避了所有审核可能会注意到自己的可能性。
|
||||
|
||||
但是它终究还是失败了，因为Linux小组有足够强的责任心，注意到了CVS仓库中的这段代码没有经过常规审核。Linux还是略胜一筹。
|
||||
|
||||
这是NSA干的吗？只能说有可能。因为有太多拥有技术能力和动机的人有可能实施了此次攻击。那么，到底是谁呢？除非某些人主动承认，又或者发现新的确凿证据，否则，我们将永远不会知道。

Ubuntu 13.10: 绚丽的桌面引导界面
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
每版的Ubuntu都包含默认的桌面引导界面和帮助文档来帮助用户快捷地熟悉相关特性和功能。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
基本上，Ubuntu桌面引导界面都是通过用户点击下一步的方式将信息分类展现给用户的，
|
||||
同时也允许用户点击一键跳过的方式来快速领会引导信息的。比如，在引导界面展示给
|
||||
用户的时候，用户可以发现一些可点击的链接（比如,"Ubuntu13.10有哪些新特性？，
|
||||
声音、视频和图像，文件、文件夹和搜索"），点击相应的链接时，引导界面就会出现
|
||||
你想看到的信息，这些信息中也会有其他的一些链接。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu13.10一贯的采用蝾螈的色彩，取消了以往过于精细的引导风格，取而代之的是更新式的引导风格。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
桌面导航启动后，一些详细的信息会在如图所示界面中展示给用户，比如,“Ubuntu13.10有哪些新特性？”让初用者对强大的Ubuntu13.10系统有更好的理解

Ubuntu Touch: Ubuntu智能手机OS已准备就绪
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Touch 操作系统将在Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10这些支持设备上有效使用。预定将于10月17日发布。
|
||||
|
||||
一位Canonical员工在他的博客中写道
|
||||
|
||||
> “截至今日,正好是我们发布Saucy Salamand(13.04)整一个月.作为那次发行版的一部分，Ubuntu承诺ubuntu-touch镜像文件，它可以安装在支持设备上。如果你有一款支持设备，我鼓励你加入这次体验，你想要了解的一切都可以在这个wiki中找到。你需要一个nexus设备并且需要为最新的镜像花费一些时间。如果你发现漏洞，及时报告，wiki中有帮助链接。”
|
||||
|
||||
你有nexus设备吗？如果有的话，那么你将成为助力Ubuntu touch成为最好操作系统的最佳人选。即使你没有nexus设备，你仍可以通过创建漏洞修复的自动化测试来提供自己的帮助，作出自己的贡献，使漏洞不再出现。分享就是一种关怀，这是使世界更加美好的唯一途径。
|
||||
|
||||
Nicholas Skaggs也写道，qa团队致力于测试每一个稳定发行版，对新功能和特殊软件包集合进行探索性测试。你可以在这里阅读更多邮件内容。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 已经介绍了他自己的显示服务器,Mir,它将替换可敬但却运行缓慢的X window.此外Canonical 也扩展了Ubuntu dash search,提供给用户从Facebook,Yelp,Google Drive获取本地搜索相关信息和其他几十种服务.

Ubuntu 13.10 vs. Ubuntu 13.04: Reasons to Upgrade
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Ubuntu 13.10(Saucy Salamander) 于8月17日发布，但是来自之前Canonical操作系统的用户就有疑问了，新的版本似乎并没有添加多
|
||||
少新的特性，有鉴于此，为什么他们要更新呢。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)，相较而言，令人乏味，但是人们并没有意识到Ubuntu每一次发布的背后都意味着需要完成大
|
||||
量的工作,即使初看起来没有太大的变动。
|
||||
|
||||
那么，对于普通用户来说如果新的版本并没有显著的变更，为什么还要升级到 Ubuntu 13.10呢？事实上,初看起来似乎几乎没什
|
||||
么变化，然而许多东西已经升级改善,这就很好啊(多数情况下是这样)。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，最重要的一点，发布新的linux内核3.11.x，是目前为止最新的稳定版本。新内核版本支持更多的设备和硬件组件，更好的

电源管理性能，还有很多很多其他方面的改善。
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME 也可以升级了。Canonical 支持 Unity 桌面环境，但是任然使用许多GNOME的包。Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) 自带
|
||||
有来自3.8 分支的应用，这些应用都非常棒,对偏好Ubuntu GNOME的用户来说尤其如此。
|
||||
|
||||
相对于之前的Lens 特色，Smart Scopes仍然有大的改善：更好的集成并且提供更多的定向解答。
|
||||
|
||||
安全性设置全面检修，现在用户可以对系统产生的流量有更多控制权。用户可以停止自己的PC或者laptop和Canonical服务器之间
|
||||
的通信。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 也为软件包格式奠定了基石。迄今，所有Ubuntu应用都是以deb格式提供的。不过用户需要事先安装相关依赖项，
|
||||
或者用户选择自己单独安装。
|
||||
|
||||
使用新的点选模式, 所有的依赖项都可以同多包本身获得，这就意味着, 只要应用开发者使用的是ubuntu SDK, 用户就不会再碰到
|
||||
任何与当前使用版本不兼容的软件包。
|
||||
|
||||
最后，Unity得以大量改善，理应比任何以前的ubun版本工作得更出色。
|
||||
|
||||
如果这些缘由仍然不足以说服你升级ubuntu，那就只有等待Ubuntu 14.04 LTS的发行了。不过不保证新的版本会看起来跟Ubuntu
|
||||
13.10有多么大的不同。

用Python来SSH到你的机器
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
是时间写点python代码了。我爱自动化的东西,今天我将告诉大家怎么**使用python 通过ssh**连接你的机器并在上面运行命令。这并不难,但是用python来做也不是很简单,因为要用很多模块和库来完成这个任务。 你是不是很好奇本教程将会使用什么模块呢?
|
||||
|
||||
我们将使用Python中 pexpect 模块的 pxssh 类,它用于处理一些自动化的需求,比如ssh和ftp。想使你的系统管理生活尽可能的简单吗?那么,请关注本教程并且尝试尽可能多的学习吧。Ok,ok,我现在得到你的关注了,下面我将给出关于pxssh的一些简单的描述。你也可以在python交互shell导入pxssh 后，键入hepl(pxssh)以得到更多关于pxssh的信息。
|
||||
|
||||
**Pxssh 描述**
|
||||
|
||||
Pxssh 基于pexpect。它的类扩展pexpect.spawn 以专门用来设置SSH连接。我经常使用python的pxssh进行ssh连接。 Pxssh 使用shell提示符从远程主机来同步输出。为了使这更牛x，它把shell提示符设置的比$或#还独特。这应该可以在大多数Borne/bash或csh shell上工作。
|
||||
|
||||
你可以在[这里][1]看到更多关于pxssh。
|
||||
|
||||
现在开始欢乐吧.
|
||||
|
||||
第一步,我们导入所有需要的东西，并且给机器详情分配变量,就像图解1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 1
|
||||
|
||||
之后我们创建一个函数，使用pxssh创建并开始一个到ssh服务器的连接。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 2
|
||||
|
||||
请仔细学习我们是是怎么用try和except来处理错误的.在这里可以阅读更多关于python的错误处理.
|
||||
|
||||
下一步是什么?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
下一步是在两个机器间的ssh连接建立之后，创建一个函数来给机器发送命令.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 3
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
图解 4
|
||||
|
||||
关闭文件并保存它. 现在它已经准备好可以运行了.

天气预报软件有了细微的颜色改进
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
正如最近几个月所见，Ubuntu渐渐汇聚的是获得了大量的软件，这些软件涵盖了底层的系统服务，新的Unity 8界面程序和Ubuntu开发人员专用的应用程序，另外还有一些正由能力较强的第三方开发者、Ubuntu开发者和Ubuntu设计者通力合作来联合生产的[核心的应用][1]程序。
|
||||
|
||||
最近几周，[天气预报软件][2]已经有了很多的优化和改进,这些使该软件日趋完美的努力是为了在不久的将来提供一个稳定版本的天气预报应用。
|
||||
|
||||
天气预报应用程序自身支持多城市和丰富的天气值，这些天气值(比如说摄氏度)的表达和预先设定的颜色有关；比如，20摄氏度就用桔红色表示，而比较低的温度则用灰绿色表示。
|
||||
|
||||
现在，天气预报应用已经更新到了一个小而有趣的版本，该版本不仅修复了一些bug，同时也为在视觉上生动地渲染色调方面带来了更多的暗颜色。
|
||||
|
||||
也就是说，高温（比如20摄氏度）仍然是与以前一样的桔红色，但是其色彩的生动性因消除了光线的百分比而降低了，同时也添加了细微但明显的暗色调。
|
||||
|
||||
以更多冷色调为特点的天气颜色比以前更加赏心悦目了。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
那么我们如何安装天气预报软件3.0呢？
|
||||
|
||||
添加下面的官方PPA（Ubuntu 13.04，Ubuntu 13.10）就可以了。
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk ubuntu-weather-app

iLinux是Linux平台最大的自定义图标收藏铺
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**iLinux图标可能是Linux平台上最大的图标收藏铺，它的创作灵感来源于Linux，Windows和Mac OS系统。**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在Linux平台可用的高品质图标甚少，即使有几百种可用包。
|
||||
|
||||
iLinux图标的开发商设法获得那些类似的图标（在一些情况下甚至优于那些）在三个不同的平台：Ubuntu，Windows和Mac OS。
|
||||
|
||||
安装非常简单，可以用一个简单的PPA帮助。只需在终端中输入以下命令：
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/icons2
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ilinux-icons
|
||||
|
||||
为了应用这些图标你还需要Ubuntu Tweak或GNOME Tweak Tool。你还可以查看开发商的[官方网站][1]的更多信息。
