正在开发中基于GTK3的Twitter应用“Corebird”
================================================================================
正在开发中基于GTK3的新Twitter应用“Corebird”
===================================
Corebird是一个Twitter应用它的界面让人想到了Twitter在OS X上的[官方应用](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12%27)。

Corebird是由一个Archlinux用户开发的它具有GNOME 3.10的外观和功能集。
Corebird的界面使用GTK3开发因此当你把它放在其他的GTK应用旁边时Corebird会感觉在家一样。Corebird充分利用了最新版GNOME 3.10 release的新标题栏这正是GNOME 3.10 release所强调的顶级功能。Corebird的标题栏展示了你的Twitter头像以及一个快速编写微博文章的按钮。这把本该是单独的工具栏整合为了一个紧凑简洁的标题。

如果你还在使用Ubuntu 13.04非常不走运Corebird使用了GNOME 3.10的新功能因此Ubuntu 13.04并不支持。如果你把系统升级为13.10下周将发布release版本你就可以在Saucy13.10的代号简称的GNOME 3 PPA中体验GNOME 3.10了。
Corebird仍在开发当中而且PPA也还没有Corebird已经在[AUR][3]里建了仓库Archlinux用户进去逛过就会知道因此你要使用Corebird就必须手动编译了。

精通Linux的“kill”命令
=================
无论你使用哪种操作系统你一定会遇到某个行为失常的应用它把自己锁死并拒绝关闭。在Linux(还有Mac),你可以用一个"kill"命令强制终结它。在这个教程中,我们将展示给你多种方式使用"kill"命令终结应用。
###Kill命令和信号
当你执行一个"kill"命令你实际上发送了一个信号给系统让它去终结不正常的应用。总共有60个你可以使用的信号但是基本上你只需要知道SIGTERM(15)和SIGKILL(9)。
你可以用这个命令看到所有信号的列表:
kill -l
![](http://i1.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2013/10/kill-list-signal.png)
- SIGTERM - 此信号请求一个进程停止运行。此信号是可以被忽略的。进程可以用一段时间来正常关闭,一个程序的正常关闭一般需要一段时间来保存进度并释放资源。换句话说,它不是强制停止。
- SIGKILL - 此信号强制进程立刻停止运行。程序不能忽略此信号,而未保存的进度将会丢失。
使用"kill"的语法是:
kill [信号或选项] PID(s)
默认信号当没有指定的时候是SIGTERM。当它不起作用时你可以使用下面的命令来强制kill掉一个进程:
kill SIGKILL PID
或者
kill -9 PID
这里"-9"代表着SIGKILL信号。
如果你不知道应用的PID仅需要运行这个命令
ps ux
它会显示所有正在运行的应用还有应用的PID。
![](http://i1.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2013/10/kill-find-pid.png)
例如要kill掉Chrome我会运行命令
kill -9 3629
也可以在同一时间kill多个进程。
kill -9 PID1 PID2 PID3
###PKill
"pkill"命令允许使用扩展的正则表达式和其它匹配方式。你现在可以使用应用的进程名kill掉它们而不是使用PID。例如要kill掉Firefox浏览器只需要运行命令
pkill firefox
使用正则表达式匹配的话,你可以输入进程名的部分字符,比如:
pkill fire
为了避免kill掉错误的进程你应该用一下"pgrep -l [进程名]"列表来匹配进程名称。
![](http://i0.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2013/10/kill-pgrep-command.png)
###Killall
killall同样使用进程名替代PID并且它会kill掉所有的同名进程。例如如果你正在运行多个Firefox浏览器的实例可以用命令把它们全部kill掉:
killall firefox
在Gnome中你可以使用这个命令重启Nautilus
killall nautilus
###xkill
xkill 是图形方式kill一个应用。当你在终端键入"xkill",你的光标将立刻变成一个"十字"。你只需要做的是在不正常的应用上点击一下它就会立刻kill掉这个应用。如果你经常用的话你也可以添加一个[键盘快捷键来激活xkill][1]。
###结论
当应用不正常而导致系统挂起的时候,人们往往重启计算机并且再一次开启所有的任务。而有了这些"kill"命令,你将能够更好的处理不正常的应用,从而避免导致系统崩溃。当你不想因一个不正常的进程而导致服务器宕机时,它尤其的有用。

在今年的 “一切皆开源” 大会上Christ将会提供谷歌目前的开源软件活动的最新消息以及对过去的回顾还有Android的起源和现况。
我遇到了Christ我们讨论了他最喜爱的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?
###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?

###下面这个问题的危险程度跟询问你最喜欢的球队一样你最喜欢哪个linux发行版
答:
如果轻率地回答那么是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。我在Ubuntu/Debian衍生版本上运行的Chrome浏览器中输入了这个问题的回答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。那么最喜欢的就是Android。

###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求什么是什么让你说出“是的我就是想帮你”这样的话 ?
答:
坦白说我希望它能够做的有趣。对于Google Ventures我并不需要过多的深入其中而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?
###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:你曾经称开源是“无情”的,具体是什么意思?
###问:你曾经称开源是“无情”的,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。分散的、不同特性的团队在公司里相当难运作,但是在开源领域,可以创作出世界级非常优秀的软件。为什么会这样?

所以,我想说,开源世界是一个适者生存、优胜劣汰的残酷机制,但是这样却能生产出高质量的软件产品。诚然,对新手来说比较难上手……
14年前你编辑过一本有关开源的书-O'Reilly。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?
###问14年前你在O'Reilly出版过一本有关开源的书。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一点走极端了。

A Pentesting Release for the Raspberry Pi
================================================================================
**The Raspberry Pi** is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The Raspberry Pi is manufactured through licensed manufacturing deals with **Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components** and **Egoman**. All of these companies sell the Raspberry Pi online. Egoman produces a version for distribution solely in China and Taiwan, which can be distinguished from other Pis by their red coloring and lack of FCC/CE marks. The hardware is the same across all manufacturers. (wikipedia)
Pwnie Express team has announced the initial release of Raspberry Pwn which can be used to turn your raspberry pi into a full-featured security penetration testing and auditing platform. This release of Raspberry Pwn and includes all the tool needed to perform a penetration testing. So, doing penetration testing from your raspberry pi, how does that make you feel? Sqlmap, nmap, wireshark, scapy, nikto, xprobe, socat, do you want more tools for pentesting your network?
Raspberry Pwn comes with the following tools:
- nmap
- dsniff
- netcat
- nikto
- xprobe
- scapy
- wireshark
- tcpdump
- ettercap
- hping3
- medusa
- macchanger
- nbtscan
- john
- ptunnel

- ngrep
- tcpflow
- openvpn
- iodine
- httptunnel
- cryptcat
- sipsak
- yersinia
- smbclient
- sslsniff
- tcptraceroute
- pbnj
- netdiscover
- netmask
- udptunnel
- dnstracer
- sslscan
- medusa
- ipcalc

- onesixtyone
- tinyproxy
- dmitry
- fcrackzip
- ssldump

- darkstat
- swaks
- arping
- tcpreplay
- sipcrack
- proxychains
- proxytunnel
- siege
- sqlmap
- wapiti
- skipfish
- w3af
Let us me give you a short description of the above tools. I am not gonna explain everything. Just want to explain a two or three tools. A simple Google search will help you to find the details of the remaining tools.
**Nmap**
Nmap is a free and open-source tool for network discovery, helping us to map the network. Network administrators find it very useful in their daily job, so if you are planning to be a network administrator you should learn how to use Nmap. Nmap can help us to discover how many hosts are in a network, what operating systems are they running, what open ports do they have and services running in these open ports. It is a command line tool but for those that do not like to remember many commands there is a graphical version of Nmap that is called Zenmap. Both Nmap and Zenmap are multi-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, BSD, etc.), so you do not have to worry about the operating system you need in order to use these tools. Nmap has the ability to save scan results to files and we can use these files for later analyzes. The great thing that I like about Nmap is its scripting engine (NSE). We can write our own scripts and use them with Nmap. See more at: [http://www.unixmen.com/scan-your-home-network-with-nmap/][1]
**Netcat**
Netcat is a command-line networking tool which is able to read and write data across Transmission Control Protocol TCP and User Datagram Protocol. Originally coded for Unix, it was released in 1996 and has been ported to a number of operating systems and facts tell that it still stays strong in the game. It has been 17 years and netcat belongs in every network admin/security professionals toolbox. People say “old is gold” and in my opinion this is true when it comes to netcat. Virtually, you can use netcat for everything and your imagination is the limit. Depending on what your intentions are you can use it for good or you can use it for bad. Netcat operates as a client and as a server. Even if there are few exceptions, netcats command options are the same for both Windows and Linux and this makes netcat a more powerful tool. In the next article you will be introduced to netcat command options and will learn how perform some basic operations with netcat. See more at: [http://www.unixmen.com/short-introduction-to-netcat][2]
**Sqlmap**
If you need a tool to exploit sql injection flaws in your web application or taking over database servers, sqlmap is the right one. Sqlmap is a tool used by penetration testers all over the world and it is full of feaures. Some of its features are:
- Full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, IBM DB2, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase and SAP MaxDB database management systems.
- Full support for six SQL injection techniques: boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query, stacked queries and out-of-band.
- Support to directly connect to the database without passing via a SQL injection, by providing DBMS credentials, IP address, port and database name.
- Support to enumerate users, password hashes, privileges, roles, databases, tables and columns.
- Automatic recognition of password hash formats and support for cracking them using a dictionary-based attack.
- Support to dump database tables entirely, a range of entries or specific columns as per users choice. The user can also choose to dump only a range of characters from each columns entry.
- Support to search for specific database names, specific tables across all databases or specific columns across all databases tables.
**Medusa**
Do you need a login brute-forcer? Medusa was developed on Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD for bruteforcing network services. Medusa works with FTP, HTTP, IMAP, MS-SQL, MySQL, NCP (NetWare), NNTP, PcAnywhere, POP3, PostgreSQL,rexec, rlogin, rsh, SMB, SMTP (AUTH/VRFY), SNMP, SSHv2, SVN and many other services. You can read more about Medusa here.
As you can see there are all tools you need for penetration testing in this release of Raspberry Pwn. Do you have a pi? Then go and turn it into a pentester machine.

Calibre 1.6 released with handy mark-book feature
================================================================================
[Calibre][1] is a free open-source ebook library management tool, designed in mind with satisfying a diverse and complex range of ebook-related requirements and necessities, offering powerful conversion process, dedicated ebook reader, hassle-free library creation and management, online service integration, etc, basically, a modern ebook experience.
Calibre has been updated to version **1.6**, introducing an exciting **book-marking** feature, as well as numerous new fixes and enhancements.
The book-marking feature presents itself as a handy manner of **temporarily** (restarting Calibre, loses the marking) selecting books, functionality allowing the user to mark books and to act on the marked books 1-click away, feature proving itself handy in multiple situations.
The newly-implemented book-marking feature is disabled by default, yet, enabling it is as simple as navigating to `Preferences-->Toolbar-->The main toolbar-->`click on `Mark Books-->hit the left-pointed arrow-->Apply`, action that adds the `Mark Books` button on its toolbar.
**Marking**, for example, three books is to be achieved by manually selecting the books (holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the three preferred to-be-marked books) and directly clicking on the toolbar's Mark Books button, action that marks the books.
The **result**: the newly-marked three books gain a marking-specific icon, thus the user is able to clearly observe marked books.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%2016%20marking%20books.png)
After the books have been marked, the user can act on the marked books by `right-clicking on the toolbar's Mark Books-->Show marked books`, action that displays on Calibre's main view only the marked books, while hiding the non-marked regular books.
The book-marking functionality allows users to hassle-free isolate preferred books in a matter of seconds by simply clicking on the mentioned button, isolation process fully exposing to the user only certain books, while clearing the view from at-the-moment unwanted books.
Reselecting the marked books and clicking again on the `Mark Books` button, unmarks the books, button acting as a mark/unmark toggle.
Calibre comes by default with a handy ebook viewer, ebook viewer enriched in the 1.6 release with extra configurable keyboard shortcuts, meaning, the user is now able to select a different **keyboard shortcut** (for example) for zoom in/out when reading ebooks.
Adjusting a keyboard shortcut is to be preformed by opening E-book Viewer, clicking on the sidebar's Preferences and navigating to `Keyboard shortcuts`, where double-clicking on an entry, makes the entry fully editable.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%20font%20size%20shortcut.png)
The mentioned features, along with numerous bug fixes, new news sources (various Uruguyan news) and improved news sources (National Geographic Magazine, New York Review of Books, Focus, Carta Capital, Ming Pao, Neu Osnabrucker Zeitung), come to deliver a more strengthened solid Calibre.
How do we **install** Calibre 1.6?
Paste the following command into a terminal
sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"
and hit the `Enter` key on the `Enter the installation directory for calibre [/opt]` (command that will appear in the terminal after pasting the above-presented command)
**For users** having Calibre installed via PPA, type in a terminal (**before** pasting the above command)
sudo apt-get remove calibre calibre-bin

[scusjs占坑]Daily Ubuntu Tips Adding User Accounts In Ubuntu
================================================================================
Ubuntu is a multi-user operating system. Multi-user OS means that more than one users are access the computer with separate and individual profile with home folder, documents, and settings. User A can login and make changes to his/her profile without affecting user **Bs** profile.
So, instead of creating a single shared account for everyone in your household, you can create an individual account for each user who will be using your home computer. This brief tutorial is going to show you how to do that when using Ubuntu.
To get started, click on the far fight of the menu bar and select the gear icon, then click System Settings.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntulockscreendisable4.png)
When that opens, click **User Accounts** from the bottom of your screen as shown below
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/useraccountsubuntu.png)
You need administrative privileges to add user accounts to Ubuntu. If you do, click Unlock before adding accounts.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/useraccountsubuntu1.png)
Next, click the plus ( + ) button to create a user account.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/useraccountsubuntu2.png)
There are two primary account types when creating new users. **Standard User** and **Administrator**. User with administrative rights can delete users, install software and drivers, change the date and time and can make changes that may render the computer unstable.
Standard wont be able to make these changes. He/she can only change stuff in his/her profile.
When you enter the full name of the user, the username will automatically be selected for you based on his full name. Its ok to keep it but you can change it if you like. When youre done, click Create to create the account.
By default, the account is disabled and will remain so until you change/add a password. To enable the account, click the Account disabled button, then type a new password.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/useraccountsubuntu3.png)
If you want to user to automatically logon without typing password, you can choose the drop-down option while setting his/her password to logon automatically.
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips Adding Users To Existing Groups
================================================================================
For new users and newbies who are just starting out with Ubuntu, managing users and groups can be challenging especially since the old users and group management tool doesnt come with Ubuntu anymore. In prior versions of Ubuntu, one could easily manage users and group with the users-admin tool which is part of Gnome system tools.
That tool no longer come with Ubuntu. Now the only tool thats available is simplified and only allows you to create, manage and delete user accounts. So, if you need to add or delete users from groups in Ubuntu, youre going to use the commands terminal or console.
For example, if you want to give certain users access to files or increase their access level, the best way to do it is with group permissions. You create a group, then give the group the correct permissions and add users to the group to assume those permissions.
Since theres no easy way to manage group permissions in Ubuntu currently, this brief tutorial is going to show you how to do it from the command console. Its just a one-line command and not too complicated once you understand it.
To get started, press **Ctrl Alt T** on your keyboard to open the terminal.
To view all current groups on Ubuntu, type the command groupmod and (**hit the tab key 3 times**).
groupmod <HIT TAB 3 TIMES>
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/groupsubuntuadduser.png)
That will list all the current groups on your system. Now to add user to existing groups in Ubuntu, run the commands below.
sudo adduser USERNAME GROUPNAME
For example, if you wish to add Richard the sudo group, run the commands below
sudo adduser richard sudo
Thats it. To verify a user group membership, run the commands below.
id richard
Enjoy!

[scusjs占坑]Daily Ubuntu Tips Easiest Way To Access Your Files From Windows
================================================================================
Whether youre a new user or someone with deep knowledge working with Ubuntu and Windows, one thing thats true is using Samba is the best way to share / access Ubuntu files from Windows. Its also easy to setup and manage using many other third-party tools.
For new users or newbies who want to learn how to quickly access Ubuntu files from Windows, this brief post is going to show you how. Our goal here is to help new users. We manage to write our tutorials so newbies can read and understand them without too much trouble.
Were not going to go into too much details here about what Samba is or how to configure Samba to join a domain and all of that. What were going to do is just show you how to install and setup Samba in Ubuntu to access your files from Windows.
If you want to learn all about Samba, I suggest you search Google or Wikipedia. To get started, open your terminal / console in Ubuntu and run the commands below to install Samba and other Samba related tools.
sudo apt-get install samba cifs-utils
The above commands will install Samba and other related tools. In previous versions of Ubuntu, you may have to replace cifs-utils with **smbfs**. But if the top commands work for you, then youre good.
Next, using gedit, open the main Samba configuration file and make the following changes. To do that, run the commands below to open Samba config file.
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
When the file opens, look for the line shown below and uncomment (remove the ; before the text) it. It should be like this:
security = user
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sambausersubuntu.png)
Next, scroll down in the file and also uncomment the lines as shown below.
[homes]
Doing this will allow users to access content in their home directories or folders. For instance, if your uncomment the [homes], user should be able to access their home content by typing the server name followed by their account name.
\\192.168.0.2\username
Next, run the commands below to add your account to Samba Database. Doing this allows you to use Samba to access shares.
sudo smbpasswd -a usernmame
Replace username with your account name.
When prompted to create a password, create and confirm it. Finally, restart Samba or restart your computer.
To access your files from Windows, go **Start > Run** and type the line below. Or open Explorer and type it as in the image below.
\\ubuntu_machine_IP\username
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sambausersubuntu1.png)
Enjoy!

[scusjs占坑]Daily Ubuntu Tips How To Install Google Chrome Browser
================================================================================
For new users who are just starting out with Ubuntu and want to install Google Chrome browser, heres the quickest way to do it. There are many ways to install Google Chrome in Ubuntu. Some prefer going directly to [Google Chrome download page][1] and getting the **deb** installer.
Others prefer to install it via PPA from the Chromium build. I prefer downloading it via the command line using **wget** command and installing it. The command line method is the quickest and this is what this post is about to show you.
As you may already know, Google Chrome has gone from nothing to one of the most popular web browsers. In fact, its my favorite web browser. I started with Internet Explorer, then moved to Firefox and Ive finally switched to Google Chrome.
I am not telling you to switch, but if you want Chrome in Ubuntu, then go and get it.
To get started with Chrome, you have few options. First you can use Firefox and go to [Chrome download page][1] and download a copy there. If youre not comfortable with using the command line, you may want to use this method.
For users who are comfortable using the command line console, use the commands below to download Google Chrome.
cd /tmp
For the **32-bit** version of Google Chrome, use the link below.
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
The 64-bit version can be downloaded using this link.
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
After downloading it, run the commands below to install it.
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*; sudo apt-get -f install
Thats it! After installing, go to Unity Dash and search for Chrome and launch it.
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips Protect Your Home Folders
================================================================================
Few days ago we [showed][1] you how to change your home folder in Ubuntu so that only authorized users may see your content. We said that the adduser utility creates users directories in such a way that make them world readable. This means that any all users who have accounts on the machine will be able to browse and view content in your home directory by default,
To read our previous post on this, [please click here][2]. In that post, we also showed you which permission settings to apply to your home folder to that it isnt browseable by anyone.
In this blog post, you can accomplish the same by encrypting your home folder. When encrypt your home folder, unauthorized users will also not be able to browse or access your home directories.
Encrypting your home folder may not be suitable for everyone in every environment so make sure youre absolutely certain that you want to use this feature in Ubuntu before actually using it.
To get started encrypting your home directory, logon to Ubuntu and run the commands below.
sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
Since your cant be logged-in while encrypting your exiting home folder, you must create a temporary account and login with it. Then run the commands below to encrypt your home folder. Replace USERNAME with your account name.
sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u USERNAME
When you login as the temporary user, run the **su** command plus your username to run commands as you, since your account has root / admin rights. Youll be prompted for your password.
su USERNAME
Replace USERNAME with the username of the account that has root / admin rights.
After that, encrypt your home folder by running the **ecryptfs-migrate-home u USERNAME** command.
To create a user in Ubuntu, run the commands below.
sudo adduser USERNAME
To delete user in Ubuntu, run the commands below.
sudo deluser USERNAME
When you login, youll see the screen shot below giving you more information about your encrypted home folder.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/encrypthomedirectory.png)
To create future users with encrypted home directory, run the commands below.
adduser encrypt-home USERNAME
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips Understanding The App Menus And Buttons
================================================================================
Ubuntu is a decent operating system. It can do almost anything a modern OS can do and sometimes, even better. If youre new to Ubuntu, there are some things you wont know right away. Things that are common to power users may not be so common to you and this series called Daily Ubuntu Tips is here to help you, the new users learn how to configure and manage Ubuntu easily.
Ubuntu comes with a menu bar. The main menu bar is the dark strip at the top of your screen which contains the status menu or indicator with (Date/Time, volume button), the App menus and Windows management buttons.
Windows management buttons are at the top left corner of the main menu (dark strip). When you open an application, the buttons on the main menu at the top left corner with close, minimize, maximize and restore is called Windows management buttons.
The App menus is located at the right of the Windows management button. It shows application menus when they are opened.
By default, Ubuntu hides the app menus and windows management buttons unless you move your mouse to the left corner, you wouldnt be able to see them. If you open an application and cant find the menu, just move your mouse to the left corner of your screen to show it.
If this is confusing and you want to disable the app menus so that each application can have its own menu, then continue below.
To uninstall or remove the app menus, run the commands below.
sudo apt-get autoremove indicator-appmenu
Running the command above will remove the app menu also known as global-menu. Now for the change to take effect, log out and log back in.
Now when you open applications in Ubuntu, each application will show its own menus instead of hiding it on the global menu or main menu.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntuappmenuglobalmenu.png)
Thats it! To go back to what it was, run the commands below
sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu

Daily Ubuntu Tips Webcam Support In Ubuntu Via Cheese
================================================================================
For new users who are just starting with Ubuntu, heres some information that may help you if you want to use webcam in Ubuntu. You see, Ubuntu aims to support the vast majority of webcam right out of the box. Most webcam manufacturers dont provide drivers for for Linux systems, including Ubuntu. So Linux developers must do the hard work by enabling support for most webcam devices in the Linux Kernel.
Webcam support for Linux is provided by the Linux UVC Projects [UVC][1] driver. The aim of this project is to provide a universal USB support for webcam in the same way a general USB driver handles USB devices like thumb drives, external USB devices and others.
The vast majority of USB webcam out there should work with Linux systems, including Ubuntu with the support of the Linux UVC project driver. If you want to purchase a webcam for your Ubuntu computer, but want to make sure its supported, [check out the UVC supported webcam list][2].
Webcam on the list above support Linux machines easily. So, before purchasing webcam for your machine check out the list and find the model you like and purchase it.
After purchasing a model that supports Linux systems, youll need an application in to display or view your videos. Currently the most popular webcam application for Ubuntu is Cheese. Cheese allows you to access your webcam and display the video easily.
To install Cheese, run the commands below.
sudo apt-get install cheese
After installing it, open it via Unity Dash and launch it. If the webcam device is already attached, Cheese should begin showing the video from the webcam.
If you have a laptop equipped with webcam, chances are it should work because support for generic USB webcam is common with Ubuntu. All you have to do is install Cheese and enjoy!
If you cant get your current webcam to work in Ubuntu, you may have to purchase a model that works.
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu TipsChange The Logon Screen Background
================================================================================
Heres a simple tip that shows you how to change Ubuntu logon screen background with custom images. Ubuntu logon screen is ok and maybe better than most Linux distributions, but if you want to show custom images like ones that remind you of special places and things, you may be able to change it using the steps below.
There are many ways to do this and this post is just one of many. The method below uses dconf-editor and lightdm user to accomplish to get the same results. To do it, change to the root user and give lightdm user access to the x-server. Next using lightdm user credentials, run dconf-editor and make the change.
After setting the custom logon image and restarting, you should see the picture everytime you start your machine. If image is one you love and brings back a log of memories, you should be delighted everytime you startup Ubuntu to logon.
This tutorial assumes you already have dconf-editor installed on your machine. If not, run the commands below to install dconf-editor.
sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
Next, choose the image you wish to use as your logon image. Then take notes of the location, including the image name. Next, run the commands below to change to the root user.
sudo i
Next, run the commands below to give lightdm user access to the X-Server. Lightdm is the service that manages the logon background so if you need to make changes to the logon screen, it should be done as lightdm user.
xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm
Next, change to lightdm user by running the commands below.
su lightdm -s /bin/bash
Then run the commands below to start dconf-editor.
dconf-editor
When the tool opens, browse to **com > canonical > unity-greeter**. Then change the background value to the custom image. You may also want to disable draw-grid.

Daily Ubuntu TipsKnowing About The Root Account
================================================================================
For new users who just starting with Ubuntu and wanting to know about the root account, heres a brief post that gives you a little insight about the root account and how / why to use it. You see, every Ubuntu edition comes with a root account.
The root account is also known as the administrator account. Think of the root account as an account with god-like rights. It can delete any file, any folder and make any change to the system. The power of the root account is limitless.
Because the root account is so powerful, it is automatically created with a password value with no possible encrypted match on the system, which makes it unusable to sign on with. So instead of directly logging on with the root account, users are encouraged to use the sudo command.
The sudo command allows authorized users to temporary elevate their privileges using their own password without knowing the root password or using the root account.
If you still want to enable and logon with the root account for other unknown reasons, simply give it a password. This will enable the root account.
sudo passwd
The commands above will enable the root account but to sign on as the root user, you must enable manual logon since its now been disabled in Ubuntu. The manual logon option allows for users to type their logon name as well as the password for the account instead of just selecting an account from the logon screen.
To enable manual logon with **Ubuntu 13.10**, open the config file by running the commands below
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
Then add the line below as shown in the image.
greeter-show-manual-login=true
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntu-root-logon.png)
Save the file and restart your computer.
For earlier versions of Ubuntu, you may find this config file in a different location under **/etc/lightdm**. It may be called **lightdm.conf**.
On the logon screen, you can then type the root username with password to sign on.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntu-root-logon-1.png)
If you want to lock / disable the root account, run the commands below.
sudo passwd -l root
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu TipsThings To Do After Installing Ubuntu
================================================================================
Many users from Windows find themselves stuck when starting out with Ubuntu. Its a completely different from Windows and getting confortable with it may not be the easiest thing at first. Ubuntu is way different from Windows. The commands, the layout of the file system and application names are all foreign to many. But heck, were here to help.
If youre coming from Windows or Mac OS X and want to learn Ubuntu, youre in the right place. We try to help new users get started with Ubuntu. Our slogan here is “**Tutorials for newbies**”, which is rightly so.
Most of our tutorials are not for pros. They are for people who are just starting out with Windows and Ubuntu. So, for all your Ubuntu needs, keep coming back.
Now, back to the topic. One of our readers asked us this question few days ago.
> What should you do first after installing Ubuntu?
Simple. When you first install Ubuntu, there are many things you may want to get started with. But the most important thing is to get it right. Dont worry about the difficult things, those youll learn later.
Here are the first few things youll want do after installing Ubuntu. There might be more, but these are important.
- Update your system The very first thing is to update your system. Updating allows you to install newer packages and install fixes for other programs. The commands below will show you how to properly update your system when using Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
- Another thing to do right after installing Ubuntu is to run the below command. This command helps you install codecs or packages that were left out of Ubuntu for legal reasons. Ubuntu comes without these important programs and they are very useful. Without them you may not be able to listen to music, watch movies and do other things. So, if you installed Ubuntu and cant play some DVDs or listen to music CDs, then run the commands below.
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
The commands above are not the only commands youll run in Ubuntu, but they are few of the first you should run after installing Ubuntu. I hope this helps.
Enjoy!

【SCUSJS翻译中】Debian 7.2 "Wheezy" Officially Released
================================================================================
**The Debian project announced the immediate availability for download of the second maintenance release of the Debian 7 Linux operating system.**
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Debian-7-2-quot-Wheezy-quot-Officially-Released-390694-3.png)
Debian 7.2 is just a maintenance update, but it does feature a wide array of updates and fixes for the current stable branch and a lot of packages have been upgraded.
“Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 7 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away older wheezy CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated,” reads the official announcement.
This means that users who already have a Debian 7.0 or 7.1 installation won't have to reinstall the system all over again. They just need to perform a regular update, as only a small number of packages will be downloaded from security.debian.org.
Check out the complete changelog in the official [announcement][1].

GNOME To Work On Wayland Accessibility Support
================================================================================
Now that GNOME 3.10 has shipped and with it comes initial native Wayland support, GNOME developers are beginning to focus on the GNOME 3.12 release cycle and working on some of the open work items in Wayland enablement.
Matthias Clasen of Red Hat has written to the Wayland developers about improving the accessibility support. In the GNOME Wayland porting, among the accessibility items that will likely need to be implemented within the GNOME Shell Mutter Wayland compositor are input tweaks (slow keys / bounce keys), zoom and color adjustments, text protocol support for on-screen keyboards and the like, and other improvements for properly handling the on-screen keyboard.
In terms of why Clasen is bringing this GNOME work up with Wayland developers, "All of these features violate the careful separation between clients that Wayland maintains, so that probably calls for some privileged interface for ATs. I would appreciate feedback and discussion on this. Has anybody else thought about these problems already?"
The new mailing list thread can be found on [Wayland-devel][1].

Install Or Upgrade VMware Tools In Ubuntu
================================================================================
Few days ago, VMware Workstation 10 was released. VMware Workstation is a virtualization software that lets you run multiple operating systems using a single host machine. With this software, you can run guest machines such as Windows XP, Vista 7 and 8 though 8.1. You can also run Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu.
Because we use VMware Workstation to run some guest machines, we had to upgrade VMware tools on all of them. It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. Thats because the tool provides required support for shared folders, drag and drop operations, better graphic and improved performance.
This brief tutorial is going to show you what we did to install and upgrade all our guest machines that run under VMware Workstation. Other benefits that the tool provides is synchronization of time between the guest machine and the host, grabbing and releasing of the mouse, coping and pasting between the guest and hose machines and more.
To get started, open VMware Workstation and select the Ubuntu guest machine and start it or turn it on. Next, click **VM > Install VMware Tools…** from the host menu.
For you information, I am running Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) but this method may work with previous versions.
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntu-vmware-tools.png)
A virtual CD/DVD Rom should be mounted with VMware Tools archive. Next, run the commands below to extract the package to the temp directory.
tar -xvf /media/$USER/"VMware Tools"/VMwareTools*.gz -C /tmp
Next, run the below commands to begin the installation.
sudo /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
During the installation, just press the Enter key to accept the defaults when prompted. The tool will install itself along with any required packages.
When its done, restart your computer and begin enjoying your machine.

【SCUSJS翻译中】Install Rhythmbox 3.0 In Ubuntu 13.10 Or 13.04
================================================================================
Rhythmbox 3.0 was released more than a month ago, bringing an improved user interface, Python 3 support for the plugins and more. Unfortunately, the new version didn't make it into Ubuntu 13.10, but there's a PPA you can use to install it (also available for Ubuntu 13.04).
![](http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/rhythmbox-3.0.png)
Changes in Rhythmox 3.0:
- the plugins now use Python 3;
- new task progress display below the track list (used for various things including track transfers and import jobs);
- support for composer tags;
- restyled playback controls;
- restyled source list using symbolic icons;
- better introspection of everything;
- separate CBR and VBR encoding styles with different sets of exposed properties;
- playlist settings (browser visibility etc.) saved in playlists.xml;
- better use of RTL icons where appropriate;
- fixed IM status and ReplayGain plugins;
- many other bug fixes.
A complete Rhythmbox 3.0 changelog can be found [HERE][1].
## Install Rhythmbox 3.0 in Ubuntu 13.10 or 13.04 ##
![](http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/rhythmbox-3.0_2.png)
*Rhythmbox 3.0 in Ubuntu 13.10 (Unity)*
Because Rhythmbox 3.0 uses Python3 for plugins instead of Python 2, **none of the plugins available in the Rhythmbox [third-party plugins PPA][2] will work**. You can get some of them to work by installing them manually (including the Equalizer plugin and the cool **[CoverArt browser][3]**) - for more info, see **[THIS][4]** article.
Rhythmbox 3.0 is available in an unofficial PPA maintained by Jacob Zimmermann, for Ubuntu 13.10 and 13.04 (and derivatives). **Add the PPA and install/upgrade Rhythmbox 3.0 using the following commands**:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox

Interview with Ding Zhou of Ubuntu Tweak
================================================================================
[Ubuntu tweak][1] is a well known application which allows Ubuntu users to tweak various aspects of their system. The founder of the project, Ding Zhou aka Tualatrix Chou, is talking to us about the nature and the usability of Ubuntu Tweak, the relation with Canonical and the future plans of the project. Enjoy
**When did you start using linux and at what point did you decide to develop Ubuntu tweak?**
I started using Linux when I just started my college life at late 2006. I was learning C programming then, a friend recommended that Linux is a great platform to learn programming. So I started my Linux life from the Fedora Core 6. But after just one week I switched to Ubuntu 6.10, because Ubuntu had a better community in China , and also had very good and fast repositories/mirrors. I fall in love with Ubuntu immediately, and switched from Windows in just one week.
After half years both happy and hard time with Ubuntu, I realized that Ubuntu was not so friendly for Chinese people, because after a fresh installation, people had to config the font, input method and many others. So I decided to develop an application to help the newbies to easily config Ubuntu.
So at July 2007, I started to develop Ubuntu Tweak. At that point, only for Chinese people, but soon I made Ubuntu Tweak be an international application and released its first version at Sep 2007
**Ubuntu tweak is already a very successful project. Many Ubuntu users use it to tweak various aspects of their system. Tell us a few words about what Ubuntu Tweak can do.**
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/tualatrix1.jpg)
Ubuntu Tweak can be used to toggle the desktop icon display, set the fonts, enable/disable the user switch, logo.
In the latest version of Ubuntu Tweak (0.6), you can also use it to tweak your Unity desktop.ut and shutdown functions.
You can also use Ubuntu Tweak to cleanup system cruft to free space and make system clean.
**Canonical decides not to include Ubuntu Tweak in their distro by default. What does that mean? Is there some kind of risk for inexperienced users who want to tweak their system using your application?**
Thats right. Because in the previous version of Ubuntu Tweak, it provided a feature to enable the popular PPA, I wasnt able to ensure all the PPA were safe, so Ubuntu Tweak had some security risks.
As you see, Source Center has been removed since 0.6. But please dont mix the “include default by Ubuntu” and “put into the repository”, Ubuntu Tweak first should be put into the universal repository, then can be included by default in Ubuntu.
From the bug reports and user feedback, Ubuntu Tweak has became a lot more stable and easy to use than the old versions.
**What kind of support or collaboration (if any) you have from/with Canonical and the Ubuntu developers?**
Of course I received some help from the company, they helped me try to put Ubuntu Tweak into repository. It is still a work in progress.
I also received a lot of help from community, people help to translate, design, test and report bugs, and some of them even submitted patch for it.
**How many people are involved in the development of Ubuntu Tweak?**
If you say “programmer”, Im the only one. But we have designers: the logo was designed by M.Sharp, Kevin Chou helped to design the mockup UI of Ubuntu Tweak, it became the 0.6. And currently Jeonkwan Chan are helping me polish the UI, it will become 0.7. Anyone can be involved in the development of Ubuntu Tweak, if they like :)
**When Unity came out on 11.04, a lot of Ubuntu users complained about the lack of configurability. What is your opinion on that, and what are the adaptability-configurability that this particular desktop environment can have?**
Id like a desktop to have adaptability-configurability, thats the advantage of Linux, isnt it?
For example, I dont like the auto-hide feature of Unity Launcher, so I set it to never hide.
Actually, Unity is configurable, the only thing that Unity is missing (through the ccsm) is that you cant place Launcher to bottom or right thats maybe unfriendly for the left-handedness. Hah, just a joke.
As you can see, Ubuntu 12.04 has already added the hide/show toggle, Launcher size setting in system settings, I think Unity will be more configurable in the future.
**In general, do you think that the development of the Unity desktop environment was the right decision for Canonical? Was it something inevitable because of the problematic collaboration they had with the Gnome developers?**
Yes, I think its the right decision for Canonical. If you look back three years, when Ubuntu first introduced the Indicator for GNOME Panel, it was a better design than the original GNOME Panel applet. But theres some problematic collaboration between Canonical and GNOME Developers, so it has never landed in GNOME, until in GNOME 3, the GNOME Shell itself removed the GNOME Panel, and the design of GNOME Shell panel is almost the same as that of the Indicator. If they could share the same API, the desktop Linux world would be better.
So, between the company, community and GNOME, the different opinions for user interface finally made the Unity desktop out.
I think its a good thing, at least I like Unity more than GNOME Shell right now.
**Although you are developing an Ubuntu specialized application, I suppose you are using another distro for more advanced users. What is your distro of choice and why?**
Of course, I had played with Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE, especially with Gentoo, I had been using it for one year long. Its my second favourite Linux distribution, because it has one of the most advanced package management systems.
But now I only use Ubuntu for desktop and server, I also use Mac OS X. I got many design inspiration from it :)
**Can Ubuntu Tweak, be tweaked or forked or changed a little bit, in order to become useful in other linux distributions like Fedora, or OpenSuse, or Debian? Is the idea of a “Linux Tweak” application that people would choose distro and desktop environment plausible or not?**
Yes, Ubuntu Tweak can be easily adapted to be used under other distributions. Ubuntu Tweak is modular and very easy to hack.
In 2008, I released an “Ubuntu Tweak for Fedora”, but finally I gave up the maintenance of this version cause I should keep focus on Ubuntu, and I also dont have that much energy.
**So what is the future of Ubuntu Tweak? Maybe Canonical will embrace it making it a default part of their distro, or they could use it to base their own tweaking tool. What do you think and what will be your next steps?**
Of course the future of Ubuntu Tweak will be bright. Hah.
I have already started the process of putting Ubuntu Tweak to the Software Center, it would be easier if users can install Ubuntu Tweak from the Software Center.
Now Im focusing on developing the 0.7 version, It will be a better polished and well integrated version for Unity desktop than ever before, and it will also introduce some useful new features. Id like to adapt Ubuntu Tweak to work better under Unity desktop as much as possible.
I plan to release the new version along with Ubuntu 12.04, hope everyone will like it :)
And one more thing to tell, Ive already joined Canonical, in Beijing, and response for OEM things. Although Ubuntu Tweak is still a personal project and Im not involved in the development of Ubuntu, I will try to move to the development team when possible :)
**That was great! Thanks Tualatrix.**

Linux RNG May Be Insecure After All
================================================================================
> As a followup to Linus's [opinion people skeptical of the Linux random number generator][1], a new paper [analyzes the robustness of /dev/urandom and /dev/random][2] . From the paper: 'From a practical side, we also give a precise assessment of the security of the two Linux PRNGs, /dev/random and /dev/urandom. In particular, we show several attacks proving that these PRNGs are not robust according to our definition, and do not accumulate entropy properly. These attacks are due to the vulnerabilities of the entropy estimator and the internal mixing function of the Linux PRNGs. These attacks against the Linux PRNG show that it does not satisfy the "robustness" notion of security, but it remains unclear if these attacks lead to actual exploitable vulnerabilities in practice.'
Of course, you [might not even be able to trust hardware RNGs][3]. Rather than simply proving that the Linux PRNGs are not robust thanks to their run-time entropy estimator, the authors provide a new property for proving the robustness of the entropy accumulation stage of a PRNG, and offer an alternative PRNG model and proof that is both robust and more efficient than the current Linux PRNGs.

Linux Top 3: RHEL 6.5, Debian 7.2 and EOL for Linux 3.0.x
================================================================================
**Linux 3.0.100 Released**
Though it might seem like Linux 3.0 was released just yesterday, the truth is that it was [released back in July of 2011][1].
Since then some 100 milestone update have been released fixing bugs and providing some security updates. The Linux 3.0.x kernel had been selected as a Long Term Support kernel, meaning that it is maintained for up to two years.
In August of this year, Linux kernel developer, Greg Kroah-Hartman [declared][2] that the 3.10 Linux kernel would be a longterm support release. That release now supersedes the longterm 3.0.x kernel
"Linux stable kernel 3.0.100 is now released, please move to 3.4.x or 3.10.x as this might be the last release of 3.0.x," Kroah-Hartman wrote on October 13th.
**Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Beta**
Barely a week after Red Hat released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10, the Linux vendor is now out with a beta release for its next generation platform.
RHEL 6.5 beta provides support for the precision timing protocol, as an improvement of the traditional network timing protocol (NTP). Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is important to users who require sub-microsecond time stamping of transactions.
**Debian 7.2**
Debian is also out with an update. The Debian 7.2 update is the second since Debian 7.x aka Wheezy was released earlier this year.
"This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems," The Debian project [stated][3]. "Security advisories were already published separately and are referenced where available. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 7 but only updates some of the packages included."

Linux Won't Get Aura UI Stack Until Google Chrome 33
================================================================================
While Google's Chrome 32 web-browser will feature the Aura UI stack from Chrome OS, the Chrome desktop web-browser on Linux won't get the GPU-accelerated interface until one version later.
Aura is the UI stack used by Google Chrome OS that can fully take advantage of graphics processors where supported. The only native element/widget is the top-level window while everything else is handled by Chrome and composited by the program itself. Google's goal is to use the same UI stack across Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS (albeit not on OS X or other platforms). While Aura is designed to take advantage of modern GPUs, there is a pure software fallback mode too.
With Chrome 32, Aura will now be used as the UI stack. Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems will support the GPU acceleration code-path while Windows XP and Vista users will be limited to software-accelerated support. The Aura code-path also determines whether WebGL and Pepper-based Flash is using GPU support too.
As shared via the [Chromium Google Group][1] last week, the Linux version of Chromium now won't see Aura with GPU acceleration until version 33. In other words, the UI stack should arrive on Linux right around the end of the calendar year.

小眼儿占坑!
Linux only needs one 'killer' game to explode, says Battlefield director
========================================================================
![img](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/20983497/construction_web.0_cinema_720.0.jpg)
It would only take one "killer" game for the Linux platform to explode its way into mainstream gaming, DICE creative director Lars Gustavsson told Polygon, revealing that the development studio would "strongly" like to get into Linux.
"We strongly want to get into Linux for a reason," Gustavsson said. "It took Halo for the first Xbox to kick off and go crazy — usually, it takes one killer app or game and then people are more than willing [to adopt it] — it is not hard to get your hands on Linux, for example, it only takes one game that motivates you to go there."
"I think, even then, customers are getting more and more convenient, so you really need to convince them how can they marry it into their daily lives and make an integral part of their lives," he explained, sharing that the studio has used Linux servers because it was a "superior operating system to do so."
![img](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3368657/detailed_web_0.jpg)
Valve's recently announced Steam OS and Steam Machines are healthy for the console market, Gustavsson said when asked for his opinion on Valve's recent announcements. He believes the products will open up the market to explore new, and perhaps better, ways of consuming games.
"Basically for different ways of accessing customers and giving them possibilities of play, I think it is super exciting," he said. "The only thing I know is that from five or ten years from now gaming and especially how you consume it won't look like it does today. I do think with streaming services and new input devices and so on, it wouldn't surprise me if there is less need of hardware and more on demand gaming experience."
> WELL, WILL AAA TITLES SURVIVE? ARE THEY MAMMOTHS THAT DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ARE DEAD YET?
"I think, hopefully, competition usually means a better experience for the customer. Sometimes. You know, was the VHS tape better than BetaMax? VHS won," he continued. "So it does not always go in the right direction but overall I think it is healthy with competition. It is truly welcomed, so that we can have better games in the future."
The director believes that with its recent rise and success, indie game development is in a better position to cater for the Linux video game market despite its limited audience.
"With indie, for a long time, it seemed that it was only AAA title that will survive and then the explosion came with mobile and indie games," he said. "So I'm really happy to see that has swung back to where people say 'Well, will AAA titles survive? Are they mammoths that don't know that they are dead yet?'
"So, to me, I think that the possibilities are many and I think indies can build for Linux even though we don't have enormous audience," he said.
![img](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/assets/3368681/BF4_Levolution_Siege_of_Shanghai_web_0.jpg)
With the impending launch of [Battlefield 4][1], DICE has spoken a lot about how it intends to smooth out the difficult learning curve and high point of entry seen in [Battlefield 3][2], Gustavsson said it hasn't forgotten about the hardcore gamers, rather the opposite: DICE has to continually rein itself in from going "too hardcore" when developing a Battlefield title.
"To be honest, our problem isn't to not think about the hardcore, rather, there are so many people like me doing Battlefield since '99 or at least 2000 that everyday we need to stop ourselves from going too hardcore, we really have to hold ourselves back," he explained when asked how DICE doesn't lose sight developing for experienced players when chiselling out the new features. "That is the natural gear that we have: the hardcore side. Then we need to remind ourselves that we need to make it for everyone."
While they have set out to make Battlefield 4 [more accessible][3] for newcomers, DICE also made it better for the veterans, hinting that perhaps some aspects the shooter is even too nuanced for the diehards. For example, Gustavsson mentioned the [new battle test range][4] that players of all skill levels can take advantage of.
> EVERYDAY WE NEED TO STOP OURSELVES FROM GOING TOO HARDCORE, WE REALLY HAVE TO HOLD OURSELVES BACK.
"Even though people have been playing Battlefield from the start, they choose not to fly because they don't feel safe," he said. "So it is not about losing sight of the hardcore. If you look at hardcore forums, there are so many times that you see 'I don't how this weapon works or this gadget' and then everyone tells each other. It is beautiful. It is just beautiful. But sometimes you feel that a game should be self explaining, it doesn't have to be more stupid."
A comparison tool for weapons and attachments has been introduced to help with the above example. "As, even I, who has made the game, had a hard time knowing which attachment did what for what weapon," Gustavsson said.
To cater for experienced Battlefield fans the game features an overhauled control system, reworked network code to remove latency and upped the number of players, to name a few. Battlefield 4 also introduces the hardcore [perma-death mode Diffuse][5] and a [Field Upgrade system][6] to [encourage][7] players to play together, along with the long-time community-demanded Spectator mode.
"Which, to be honest, I have been ashamed to going to shows and admitting once again that we don't have spectator mode," he said. "That's why I'm a bit taller and prouder this time around now that we do have it. With the next-generation of consoles, like sharing and broadcasting features, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the community comes up with."

![img](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news-700/Salvation-Prophecy-Military-Space-Epic-Arrives-on-Steam-for-Linux.jpg?1381742049)
**Salvation Prophecy, a title developed and published on Steam by Firedance Games, has been launched on the Linux platform.**
According to the developers, Salvation Prophecy is a military space epic in which the players will be able to play as fighter pilots in space, but also on the surface of planets, in FPS mode.
“Battles rage as space fleets collide. Invaders clash against fortified enemy colonies. Yet the greatest danger is the impending annihilation foretold by an apocalyptic prophecy. You must seek out the mysteries of distant alien worlds, and master ancient powers to withstand the coming storm,” reads the official [synopsis][1].
The minimum Linux system requirements are pretty low, considering the complexity of the game: Ubuntu 12.04 or Ubuntu 12.10, a Dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT, ATI Radeon HD 2600, or better, and 1 GB of available space.
More details about this release can be found on the official Steam [website][2].

l3b2w1 translating When open source invests in diversity, everyone wins
================================================================================
![](http://opensource.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/image-full-size/images/business/BUSINESS_Results_Recos_LL.png)
Jessica McKellar is an entrepreneur, software engineer, and open source developer. She helps organize the Boston Python user group and plays a big role in diversity outreach by introducing and welcoming more beginners and women. Participation has increased from 0-2% to 15% and the user group has sustained this over the past two years.
It's results like this that convince Jessica that when open source communities invest in diversity outreach, everyone benefits. Since implementing a beginner series, intermediate workshops, and open source sprints, the Boston Python user group has over quintupled in size, from 700 members to 4000+. They are now the largest Python user group in the world. That type of growth is something all open source communities should aspire to.
Read more about [Jessica McKellar][1] in this interview.
----------
**How long have you been in the open source community? Did you have a mentor when you started?**
My first ever contribution to an open source project was some documentation for the [Twisted project][2] in 2009 (Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python). I've been involved with the project ever since, am now a core contributor, and have even had the pleasure of writing a book about Twisted.
I had a great first experience contributing to Twisted: the community had detailed new contributor documentation and was supportive and patient as I stumbled through using the process and tools for the first time. I wouldn't say that I had a specific mentor, but I benefited from the collective support of the Twisted community and the patient feedback from the reviewers on my first tickets.
**How have you seen open source software evolve since you join the community?**
There has been a clear and wonderful progression towards embracing diversity and diversity outreach, and in particular supporting beginners of all backgrounds. The increasing adoption of Codes of Conduct by technical conferences, the [GNOME Outreach Program for Women][3], the [Python Software Foundation's][4] Outreach and Education program, and PyCon's [Young Coders][5] events are just a few examples of great work the open source community is doing to make itself a welcoming and supportive environment.
**You're heavily involved with the Python community. Why Python? What was your initial experience with the language?**
I first used Python in school (I was at MIT right on the cusp of the core CS curriculum switching from Scheme to Python) and have used it at every job I've had. It's also my go-to language for most side projects. Besides being a language I think is a joy to develop in, I invest in the Python community because of its commitment to fostering a supportive and welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds.
**You and Asheesh Laroia had [a great presentation][6] during PyCon 2012 about the Boston Python user group increasing its diversity. Can you describe what you folks did?**
For the past 2 years, Boston Python has been running a recurring pipeline of events focusing on bringing more women into the local Python community. The first step in this pipeline is a hands-on weekend workshop for first-time programmers, which we've run eight times for over 400 women.
Our goals with this initiative are to:
1. Bring more women into the local programming community, with a specific goal of reaching 15% women at all Boston Python user group events.
1. Show the local programming community examples of great women programmers.
1. Develop resources for other programming user groups to run their own diversity outreach events.
Prior to running these workshops, a typical Boston Python user group event had 0-2% women. Since running these workshops, general user group events have met or exceeded 15% women. These are large events bringing in 80-120 people, so this represents a huge leap both as a percentage and in absolute terms for the number of women attending. Even more remarkable is that these results have been sustained for 2 years!
The great secret of all of this outreach is that even though you are focusing on a specific under-represented group, everyone benefits. Running these intro workshops forced us to learn how to truly support beginners. We started running a monthly "Project Night" as a follow-up to the intro workshops, to give beginning and intermediate learners more opportunities to learn and practice the language with in-person mentoring. We've developed curricula and practice projects that have been used all over the world. We've run intermediate workshops and open source sprints. Through all of this, the user group has over quintupled in size, from 700 members to 4000+, making us the largest Python user group in the world.
In a nutshell, when you invest in diversity outreach, everyone wins.

Polari An Awesome New IRC App for GNOME
================================================================================
You have to hand it to the GNOME designers and developers: their work in creating a coherent, integrated set of apps for the desktop is showing true promise.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gnome3_polari.jpg)
*The latest build of Polari in action.*
In fact, theyve barely sat still over the last couple of years, creating app after app.
There are now dedicated apps for Music, Video and Photos; a virtual machine manager in the shape of Boxes; the Maps, Weather & Notes tools are all looking fantastic. And the new GNOME Software Store? Design wise it knocks Ubuntus aged offering out of the park!
But it seems that the GNOME app gurus arent done yet. Work has recently begun on a new GNOME 3 IRC app called Polari.
(As an aside, its a testament to the focus within the GNOME development community on putting users first that the one tool they likely use most often to communicate is one of the last to get the GNOME app treatment.)
## Polari Planned Features ##
Its not fixed in a dusty coding tome that all IRC clients have to resemble something from an 80s sci-fi movie, or be intimidating to the general user. Even in todays world of instant communications via social networks, IRC remains a great way for people to chat.
To this end, if [Polari][1] (expect a name change further down the line) had a slogan it would be “*An IRC client for dummies*.”
On the features n functionality front Polari aims to offer:
- Easy connection to IRC servers & rooms
- Clearly see mentions & notifications
- Support GNOME 3 notifications
- Integration with Contacts, the GNOME contacts app
- History & transcript features
- Link previews
- File transfers
Developer-orientated features have also been mooted, including integrated support for Pastebin & Bugzilla.
So when can you try it? Not quite yet. Development of Polari is still in its early stages, but, if youre willing to build it from Git (requires GNOME 3.10) youll find that its already capable of handling the basics, including delivering notifications for mentions.
For code-compiling-phobes Polari is expected to feature (most likely as an app preview) in GNOME 3.12, due next year.

Manage Passwords Securely in Ubuntu with KeePassX
================================================================================
**With security issues becoming more and more important, the emphasis on secure passwords (as well as other methods like multiple step authentication) has never been greater.**
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/security-key.jpg)
With that in mind I recently tried out several secure password managers to try and find something secure, but also easy to use and cross-platform.
First, I went to [LastPass][1]. Its probably the most known tool for managing your passwords, and since its based on the web, its the most **cross platform** of them all. However, I found the interface lacking, and the number of tools and options on offer was overwhelming.
Next, I tried [KeePass 2][2]. While this is a perfectly capable app, very similar to the tool Im going to talk about in a minute, it doesnt provide official Linux packages, and the community ports, while serviceable, arent the nicest looking apps out there. So I tried other apps.
My favourite of all those I tested was **KeePassX**. It started out as a Linux port of KeePass, but eventually evolved as its own app. It bests KeePass 2 with a nicer, more native looking interface.
## Using KeePassX in Ubuntu ##
Conveniently, KeePassX already has packages in Ubuntu available for installation.
Install keepassx from the command line or **install it from the Software Centre**:
- [Install KeePassX from the Ubuntu Software Centre][3]
When you open it, youll see a blank window. Use the first button on the toolbar to create a new database. You can either protect it by using key files, or a password. You probably want a password which is quite easy to remember and type — youll be typing it in a lot, but on the other hand you dont want anyone else accessing your database.
Next, you need to save it somewhere. I saved mine in my Dropbox, so I can access it from multiple locations. Dropbox uses two factor authentication, so if anyone wants to get into my Dropbox to access this database, theyll also need to have my phone, which makes the process secure enough.
Alternatively, you can use other services like Google Drive and Skydrive which both use standard [Authenticator][4] apps, or Box which uses SMS for two factor authentication.
Of course, if youre **really** worried about your passwords, you probably wont want to save it where other parties can theoretically access it.

*The main screen of KeePassX in Ubuntu*
Using the app is actually pretty straightforward. You can add groups, and into those groups you can add keys. KeePassX includes a handy password generator whenever you need to input a password. I tend to generate my passwords with all the basic characters and special characters selected as well, at 20 characters long, but that of course depends on what the website accepts.
Its important to note that some websites dont always tell you how long a password theyll accept, and opt to just put a limit on the input box. If your pasted in password doesnt quite look long enough, it probably isnt. Its happened to me a few times.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-190025.png)
*KeePassX password generator*
n my everyday usage of KeePassX, Ive noticed a few things that should make using it a bit easier:
**Copy & Paste Paranoia**
You might be worried about the notion of copying and pasting passwords. It sure is more efficient than typing them out manually. By default, KeePassX clears the clipboard about a minute, but you can shrink this in the settings. You dont need to be worried about someone else pasting the password and viewing it on your computer. You can also use a feature called AutoType, which types your password automatically, but this is a bit useless since for some reason it puts the password together with the username in the same field.
**Database Dilemma**
If you save the database in the cloud, dont set the password to the cloud service to something completely random. Its no good having the password to it saved inside the cloud if you cant access the cloud. It might seem obvious, but its not something I originally realised.
**SECURE ALL THE PASSWORDS**
Whipping out your phone constantly while at work or school to access your most commonly used accounts can be a pain, so keep that in mind when settings passwords.
## The future ##
If youve looked into KeePass 2 and KeePassX previously, you mightve noticed that they use different database formats.
KeePass 2 uses a newer version of the format, which offers things like custom fields. Even though KeePassX is not yet ready for the newer .kdbx format, a new version of it is in development which supports this format.
You can view the new version of KeePassX, with a vastly improved interface below. You can also download it to compile it yourself on [GitHub][6].

![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_34_14.png)
*Details of a single password*
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_34_44.png)
*Additional attributes of a single password *
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_35_18.png)
*Entry history, most likely replacing the Backup folder from the previous version*
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_35_51.png)
*Settings in KeePassX 2.0 *
## Other devices ##
As I said in the beggining of my post, **I was looking for something cross platform**. This is a great advantage of the .kdb format — there are quite a few apps currently supporting it. KeePassX is also much easier to get running on Mac OS X than KeePass 2, and runs fine on Windows too.
On Android I use [KeePassDroid][6], which works solidly both on my phone and tablet.

我来为你们对上面的工具做一个简短的说明.我不会说明所有的工具.仅想说说上面的两三个工具.简单的Google搜索将会帮你找到所有工具的详细说明.
**Nmap**
Nmap是一个免费开源的网络探索工具,帮助我们map网络.网络管理者们发现它在每天的工作中非常有用,如果你有计划做一名网管的话,你应该学习如何使用Nmap.Nmap能够帮助我们探索一个网络中有多少主机(host),它们正在用什么操作系统,还有它们开放的端口并且这些端口上正在运行什么服务.它是一个命令行工具要是你不喜欢记这么多命令,这有一个叫做Zenmap的Nmap图形化版本.Namp和Zenmap都是多平台的(Linux,Windows,Mac OS,BSD,等),因此你不必担心操作系统.Nmap有将扫描(scan)结果保存为文件的功能并且我们能够在以后的分析中使用这些文件.更好的是我喜欢Nmap的是它的脚本引擎(NSE).我们可以自己写脚本在Nmap中使用.浏览更多:[http://www.unixmen.com/scan-your-home-network-with-nmap/][1]
**Netcat**
Netcat 是一个命令行网络工具,它能够通过传输控制协议TCP和用户数据报协议UDP读写数据.最初为Unix而写,在1996年发布,已经被一直到多个操作系统,事实说明它在游戏中依然保持强劲.17年来netcat是属于每一个网络管理/安全专家的工具箱.人们说"姜还是老的辣",在我看来对netcat来说是真的.事实是,只有你想不到的没有netcat做不到的,根据你的意图,你可以用它做好事或者不好的事.Netcat作为一个客户端和作为一个服务器运行.即使有少数例外,newcat的命令选项在Windows和Linux是一样的,这使得netcat成为一个更强大的工具.在下一篇文章中将为你介绍netcat的命令选项还有你将学习到如何执行一些基本的netcat操作. - 浏览更多:[http://www.unixmen.com/short-introduction-to-netcat][2]
**Sqlmap**
如果你需要一个工具在你的web应用中利用(译者注:exploit在计算机安全术语中这个词通常表示利用程序中的某些漏洞来得到计算机的控制权这个词同时也表示为了利用这个漏洞而编写的攻击程序)sql注入漏洞或者接管数据库服务器,sqlmap是适合的.Sqlmap是一个被全世界所有渗透测试者使用的工具,它具备全部的功能.它的一些功能:
- 完全支持MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, IBM DB2, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase and SAP MaxDB数据库管理系统.
- 完全支持6个SQL注入技术:boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query, stacked queries and out-of-band.
- 支持不用通过SQL注入直接连接到数据库,通过提供DBMS凭证,IP地址,端口和数据库名称.
- 支持枚举用户,密码哈希,权限,角色,数据库,表和列.
- 自动识别密码散列格式,支持使用基于字典的攻击cracking它们.
- 支持完全转储数据库表,更具每个用户的选择的范围内的条目或特别的列.用户可以从每个列条目选择只转储一定范围内的字符.
- 支持搜索具体的数据库名称,所有数据库具体的表或所有数据库表中具体的列.
**Medusa**
你需要一个暴力破解(brute-forcer)登陆器? Mesusa为破解网络服务发开于Gentoo Linux 和 FreeBSD.Mesusa和FTP, HTTP, IMAP, MS-SQL, MySQL, NCP (NetWare), NNTP, PcAnywhere, POP3, PostgreSQL,rexec, rlogin, rsh, SMB, SMTP (AUTH/VRFY), SNMP, SSHv2, SVN还有其它服务一起工作.你可以在这里浏览更多关于Medusa的信息.
在Raspbeery Pwn这次发布中你能看到所有渗透测试所需要的工具.你有一个树莓派吗?把它变成一个渗透机器吧.

携带便利的图书标记特性,Calibre 1.6 正式发布!!!
====
[Calibre][1]是一个免费的开源电子丛书管理工具,令人心动的设计思想,综合电子书相关的多领域的要求和需求,提供强大的转换处理,专注电子书的阅读,书库轻而易举的创建和管理,在线集成服务等,总而言之,给你真真正正的现代化电子书阅读.
Calibre 已经更新到**1.6**版本,介绍了一个已存在的**图书标记**(book-mark)特性,也有大量的修补和功能增强.
**图书标记**作为一种**暂定**选书的简便方式(重启Calibre,就会失去标记),允许用户标记图书,再点击已标记的图书便取消标记,该特性能在多场景提供便利.
最新应用的图书标记功能并没有默认开启,当然,开启它也是很容易的`首选项(Prefences)-->工具栏(Toolbar)-->主工具栏(The main toolbar)-->点击标记图书(Mark Books)-->点击左端的箭头-->应用(Apply)`,之后在工具栏上就有图书标记按钮
**标记**,举个例子,手动的标记三本书(按住Ctrl键,并点击首选的三本图书),也可以通过工具栏上的按钮,标记图书.
最新标记的三本书将显示一个特殊标记的图标,这样用户可以清楚的观察到标记的书本.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%2016%20marking%20books.png)
在标记图书后,用户可以通过'右击标记按钮-->显示标记书本'来只显示已标记的图书,同时隐藏未标记的图书.
在有些时候想清楚观察重点图书,图书标记功能允许用户轻而易举的隔离出偏爱的图书,想通过几秒钟点击标记按钮,隔离处理能完全的展示某一书本
再次选择标记图书或再点击标记图书按钮,将取消标记,按钮就像是一个标记/不标记的按钮
Calibre默认携带了好用的电子书阅读器,在1.6版本增加了额外的快捷键配置,意味着现在用户能通过自己的喜好制定不同的**快捷键**例如放大缩小
打开电子书阅读器之前先调整快捷键,点击工具条的首选项来操纵快捷键,双击一个条目进行编辑.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%20font%20size%20shortcut.png)
以上提及的特性,连同大量的漏洞的修补,增加最新的新闻源(大量的乌拉圭新闻)和改良了一些新闻源(国家地理杂志,纽约书评,聚焦,Carta Capital,明报,Neu Osnabrucker Zeitung),去感受更强大的Calibre吧!!!!!
我们怎么**安装**Calibre 1.6呢?
复制制以下命令到终端
sudo python -c "'import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()
按回车键,出现`Enter the installation directory for calibre [/opt]`再按回车键
如果用户通过PPA安装了Calibre,那么请先执行下列命令(在执行以上命令之前).
sudo apt-get remove calibre calibre-bin

Ubuntu 每日小贴士:将电脑还原到之前的状态
================================================================================
当我们比较windows和ubuntu时会发现他们各有千秋。在还原到之前状态的能力方面Windows有时可以很好的还原到Windows XP的状态这节省了用户很多时间。与此不同的是Ubuntu并不能让整个系统还原到之前的状态但是你可以对自己的个人文件或文件夹进行还原。
还好多亏了[TimeShift][1]你现在可以像Windows一样将整个Ubuntu系统还原到之前的状态TimeShift也许没有提供Windows上还原的所有功能但至少很接近了。
TimeShift是一款开源应用它提供和Windows上还原系统、Mac上时间机器相同的功能。它会在预定时间对系统进行保存快照处理并通过撤销掉快照之后的所有操作来实现还原
要安装TimeShift你需要使用如下命令来添加其PPA包
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
然后执行下面的命令来升级系统和安装TimeShift.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install timeshift
安装完之后在Dash中搜索到TimeShift第一次启动会花费很长时间来扫描你电脑中的文件和可用空间便于备份。
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/timeshiftubuntu.png)
启动后可以进行偏好设置当然你可以保留默认设置如果你喜欢的话如果你需要备份时可以直接点击菜单上的“备份按钮”当然你也可以使用这个APP对整个电脑进行还原操作。
来试试手吧!

每日Ubuntu技巧 - 禁用Ubuntu的屏幕锁定
================================================================================
当您刚成为一名Ubuntu新用户时有一些事情您还无法马上知道。例如修改您的密码、禁用某些功能和创建新用户帐号。当新用户测试了Ubuntu之后一个经常被他们问到的问题是如何关闭屏幕锁定或阻止Ubuntu屏幕逐渐变暗。
这里为Ubuntu新手准备了一些简单技巧。这些技巧对于Ubuntu老手而言毫无新意当然它们也不是为Ubuntu老手而准备的它们仅供Ubuntu新手学习使用。
Ubuntu被设计成自动经过几分钟后就自行进行锁定您必须输入您的密码来解锁才能再次使用它。如果这给您带来了太多的麻烦那么您也许想要关闭这个自动锁屏功能而这正是下面马上将要向您介绍的内容。
您计算机的自我锁定是出于安全的原因,如果您禁用或关闭了它,您的计算机将不再被锁定,任何可以物理接触到您计算机的人都可以登录并且使用它。如果对您而言,这不是什么大问题,那么继续下面学习具体如何来做。
首先登录Ubuntu点击控制选项位于菜单栏的最右边的图标图标并选择**系统设置**。
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntulockscreendisable.png)
接着,点击系统设置面板里的“亮度和锁屏”图标
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntulockscreendisable1.png)
最后,关闭“锁定屏幕选项”。
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntulockscreendisable2.png)
禁用Ubuntu屏幕锁定的所有操作就是这些如果您要重新开启它那么再次点击“锁定屏幕选项”切换回去即可。屏幕锁定是一个很好的特性可以保护您的计算机但如果您知道您的隐私或信息不会有风险那么您可以禁用它。

日常Ubuntu使用小技巧——安装Ubuntu后做什么
================================================================================
许多Windows用户开始使用Ubuntu时都感到束手无策。Ubuntu与Windows截然不同想要轻松驾驭Ubuntu可不是一件简单的事情。Ubuntu的使用方式不同于Windows。许多用户对命令行、文件系统的布局和应用程序的名称都感到陌生。但是不用管那些我们会提供帮助。
如果你以前是Windows或者Mac OS X用户现在想学Ubuntu那你来对地方了。我们正努力帮助新用户开始Ubuntu之旅。我们的口号理所当然就是“**菜鸟教程**”。
我们的教程大多不是针对专业人士的而是面向刚开始学习Windows和Ubuntu的新手。所以为了你所有的Ubuntu需求经常回来转转。.
好了,言归正传。几天前一个读者问了我们一个问题,如下:
> 安装好Ubuntu后首先要做什么
很简单第一次安装Ubuntu时你可能有很多事情想做。但是最重要的是让它正常工作。不要担心遇到难题这些你很快就会明白。
这里有一些安装好Ubuntu之后你最初想要做的事。可能你想做的比这还多但这些是比较重要的。
- 更新系统 首先更新你的系统。系统更新可以让你安装比较新的软件包和一些其它程序的修正。使用Ubuntu时你可以使用下面的命令正确地进行系统更新。
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
- 安装好Ubuntu后要做的另外一件事就是运行下面的命令。这条命令能帮助你安装编解码器和因法律原因而排除在Ubuntu外的软件包。Ubuntu并未预装这些比较重要的程序。而没有这些程序你可能无法听音乐、看电影或者做其它的事情。所以如果你安装了Ubuntu但是不能播放DVD或者听音乐CD那就运行下面的命令吧。
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
以上这些命令并非你将在Ubuntu运行的全部的命令但它们是安装好Ubuntu后你首先要运行的。希望这些能帮助到你。
使用愉快!

FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1已经可以下载测试
================================================================================
**FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1, 一个可以运行在x86, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98, and UltraSPARC 等架构上的操作系统, 已经发布并且可供下载测试。**
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/FreeBSD-10-0-Beta-1-Available-for-Download-and-Testing-391246-2.png)
FreeBSD的开发者在以不可思议的速度前进并且不断地发布一个有一个的版本. 新的测试版在有五个内测版的情况下完成,但是没有任何问题。
官方[公告][1]称“因为在最终发现的存在于10.0-BETA1 freebsd-update(8) 套件中的问题,freebsd-update(8) 将 不被支持用于升级10.0-BETA1。请不要用freebsd-update(8) 来升级 10.0-BETA1。请注意 cvsup和CVS不被支持用于的升级src/ tree。” 。
而且, 据开发者说, ports.txz发行版没有被包含在 10.0 Beta 1 发布版中,但是它有望在发行周期中被纳入后续版本的disc1.iso中。
FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1的亮点:
- freebsd-version,用于审核的工具,已经实现。如果你想确定客户端补丁级别,当它与'uname -r'的报告不同时这是一个很重要的工具;
- ZFS lzjb的解压表现有所改进;
- 两种新的MIPS CPU, mips24k和mips74k获得支持;
- 在jail(8)组件调用前for 每一个jail的"jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) 变量的配置是自动转换为/var/run/jail.<jname>.conf的, 因此新的jail.conf(5)语法已被使用;
- 绝大多数的ATF工具和_atf用户被移除;
发行方鼓励用户们测试发行版并报告任何发现的问题. 官方[变更目录][1] 有完整的修正和修改列表. 现在可以在Softpedia立刻下载FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1。

Linux 随机数生成器可能还是不安全的
================================================================================
> 在 Linus 向那些质疑 Linux 随机数生成器安全性的人们发表了自己的观点之后,现在,一篇新的学术论文[分析了 Linux 中的 /dev/urandom 和 /dev/random 的健壮性][2]。论文中写道:“从实际的角度来说,我们也对 Linux 的两种伪随机数生成器 /dev/random 和 /dev/urandom 的安全性做了精确的评估。特别是,我们展示了几种攻击手段来证明 Linux 中的这两种伪随机数生成器并不符合我们对健壮性的定义,而且熵没有适当地累积起来。这些攻击能起效是由于熵估计器及 Linux 伪随机数生成器的内部混合函数存在弱点。由于这些攻击的存在Linux 的伪随机数生成器并不满足安全学中‘健壮性’这一概念,但是,在实际情况中,我们并不清楚这些攻击手段是否存在真正可利用的漏洞。”
当然,你[甚至可能连硬件随机数生成器都不相信][3]。论文作者们并非只是简单地证明 Linux 伪随机数生成器是不健壮的(通过使用 Linux 的运行时熵估计器),他们提出了一个新的性质用于检验伪随机数生成器的熵累计阶段是否健壮,并且,他们还提供了另一个伪随机数生成器的模型,他们证明,这个模型不仅是健壮的,而且比现有的 Linux 伪随机数生成器更加高效。

Linux Terminal: Seeing the unseen characters with cat!
Linux终端用cat命令查看隐藏的字符

Sometimes a program or software dont start for a syntax error, and if you check the files there is nothing wrong..apparently.
There are a lot of characters that usually are not printed if you use a normal text editor, but you can easily check if they are present with your terminal and the command cat.

“Linux想要屌丝逆袭只需要一款杀手级游戏。”
========================================================================
![img](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/20983497/construction_web.0_cinema_720.0.jpg)
Linux平台只需要一款杀手级游戏就能杀入主流游戏市场DICE创意总监Lars Gustavsson如是告诉记者他还透露开发工作室其实“非常愿意”入驻Linux平台。
“我们之所以如此强烈想要入驻Linux原因只有一个”Gustavsson说“就如同Xbox凭借着光晕(Halo一举成功逆袭并使粉丝们为之疯狂 —— 通常,只需要一款杀手级应用或游戏,人们就更愿意去[适应新平台] —— 对于Linux来说这并不难例如它只需要一款能吸引人们主动去玩的游戏而已。”
“我认为即使这样消费者正变得越来越挑剔所以我们必须说服他们如何才愿意玩某一款游戏并将其作为日常生活的一部分”他解释道工作室目前已经开始使用Linux服务器因为Linux在这方面本就是最佳选择。
![img](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3368657/detailed_web_0.jpg)
当被问道对Valve公司最近关于Steam操作系统和Steam主机的声明有何看法时Gustavsson认为这对游戏机市场来说非常有益他相信相关产品会打开新的市场拓展出消费游戏新的发展道路也许比这更好。
“基本上通过各种方法获取消费者的青睐并给予他们娱乐的各种可能性我认为这才是最令人激动的”他说“我只知道一件事往前推5到10年谁能想象游戏市场会是今天这个样子。也许我们能预料到更低的硬件需求和更丰富的游戏体验但流媒体服务和新的输入设备等等这些东西才真的让人惊讶。”
>现在哪还有三A级经典游戏就像活着的猛犸象一样少见
“我认为有时竞争往往意味着消费者拥有更好的体验。VHS难道比BetaMax更强吗但VHS最终获胜了。译者注他指的是当年索尼和JVC的录像带之争索尼的BetaMax在专业领域优势很大但JVC的VHS由于更适合当时普通消费者的家庭使用因此他在这里举了这个例子他继续说道“因此尽管竞争的最终结果不一定就是完全正确的方向但总体来看竞争还是利大于弊的。何况消费者也欢迎因此我相信未来我们一定能做出更好的游戏。”
总监相信尽管用户数量有限但独立游戏开发正不断上升并开始取得成功现在正处在一个更有利的位置能够迎合Linux视频游戏市场。
“长久以来独立制作一般就意味着三A级经典直到伴随着移动终端产业的爆发独立游戏开始扎堆泛滥”他说“因此我非常高兴能看到独立制作又回到了它曾经的现状就好像人们在说现在哪还有三A级经典游戏就跟活着的猛犸象一样少见“。
“所以对我来说我认为尽管Linux平台上的用户数量并不特别多但独立制作游戏成功的可能性很大。”
![img](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/assets/3368681/BF4_Levolution_Siege_of_Shanghai_web_0.jpg)
对于即将启动的[战地4][1]DICE已经讲述了许多如何降低上手难度和准入门槛等在[战地3][2]中出现的问题Gustavsson说他们并没有忘记骨灰级玩家恰恰相反DICE在开发战地4的过程中不断需要克制自己不要“太过于骨灰”。
当被问道DICE如何在开发新特性的过程中避免忽视老玩家时他解释道“说老实话我们的问题并不在于忽视骨灰级玩家而是有太多人向我一样从99年或至少2000年就开始每天玩战地我们需要的是控制自己避免自己太沉溺于其中。沉迷游戏是每个玩家的天性。所以我们需要提醒自己同时提醒每一个人”
战地4对于新玩家[更好上手][3]但同时它也将充分照顾到老玩家DICE透露也许老玩家会发现游戏中有些方面射手与恐怖分子几乎没有区别。例如Gustavsson提到[新的战斗测试][4]涵盖了各个技术水平的玩家都可以发挥的范围。
> 我们需要的是控制自己,避免自己太沉溺于其中。
“有些人即使从最开始到现在一直在玩战地,游戏里他依然不会选择坐飞机,因为他觉得不安全,所以这并不是是否忽略老玩家的问题。如果你去玩家论坛转转,你会无数次看到诸如‘我不知道这件武器或这个装备怎么用‘这样的问题,然后每个人都会来回答他。这是件很和谐、很美妙的事。但有时你又会觉得,一个游戏不能太傻了,应该智能一些。”
针对上面例子中的问题他们已经提供了一个武器装备比较工具。Gustavsson说“即使是我做游戏的人有时也会蒙圈到底哪件装备配哪件武器。”
为了迎合战地的资深老玩家们游戏还特地推出了一款检修控制系统重写了网络代码移除了一些隐患增加了角色数量并相应地给予命名。除了社区呼声已久的旁观者模式战地4还介绍了[无重生模式][5]和[战场升级系统][6][鼓励][7]玩家们一起游戏。
“说实话,一直以来,我都不好意思参加访谈活动,因为总是要一次次承认我们确实没有旁观者模式。但这次活动我腰板硬多了,因为我们终于有旁观者模式啦!伴随着新一代游戏机中的分享和广播等新特性,我十分期待社区会带来哪些意想不到的惊喜。”

保护密码的利器Ubuntu 之 KeePassX
================================================================================
**随着安全性问题变得越来越重要,密码当然是越安全越理想(比如多步认证),这一点再强调也不为过。
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/security-key.jpg)
既然这样想了,于是我最近就试用了几个安全密码管理器,试图找到一款比较可靠,易于使用并且跨平台的应用软件。
首先我尝试了LastPass[1]。LastPass大概最为人们所熟知基于网络管理密码是所有软件中平台无关性最强的。但是我发现它的界面简陋而且提供太多的工具和选项比较繁琐。
接下来我又试了试KeePass 2[2]。尽管是一款功能相当完善的应用软件非常类似于下面我将要描述的但是官方又不提供Linux上的安装包和公共接口虽然可用还算不上最好的。所以我又尝试了其他应用。
在所有的试用过的软件中,我最喜欢的是**KeePassX**. KeePassX起初是作为linux的一个分支但是后来逐渐演变为属于自己的应用程序。凭借更漂亮、更为本地化的接口KeePassX 打败了KeePass 2。
## 在ubuntu中使用KeePassX ##
方便的是KeePassX已经提供在ubuntu上安装的软件包。
从命令行安装KeePassX或者**从软件管理中心安装**
- [Install KeePassX from the Ubuntu Software Centre][3]
打开它,你会看到一个空白窗口。点击工具条上的按钮创建一个数据库。可以使用密钥文件或者密码保护刚刚创建的数据库。你很可能使用密码,因为只需要记住它并输入就行了 - 你可能会键入许多字符,但是另一方面,你不会让其他人进入你的数据库。
接下来你得把它存到某个位置。我保存在我的Dropbox里面这样就可以从多个地方获取。Dropbox使用双重认证所以如果有人想进到我的Dropbox里面他就得用到我的手机这样的方式是还是相当安全的。
另外你可以使用其他的服务比如Google Drive和Skydrive它们都使用标准认证器[4];再比如Box使用SMS进行双重认证。
当然,如果**的的确确**担心自己的密码,你很可能不打算把密码存到其他的一些组织团体,因为理论上密码是可以被他们获取到的。
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-190130.png)
*Ubuntu中KeePassX的主界面*
使用该应用还是相当直接的。你可以添加分组然后在分组里添加密码。KeePassX带有一个很方便的密码生成器当你需要输入一个密码的时候可以使用该生成器而不用自己构思一个。我倾向于使用所有基本的字符以及挑选的特殊的字符来生成密码
20个字符的长度当然这得看网站接不接受了。
需要注意一点,有些网站并不告诉你他们接受多长字符的密码,倾向于只在输入框限制输入长度。如果你粘贴进去的密码看起来没那么长,事实上可能不是那么一回事,也有可能是被截断了。这种情况我碰到过几次。
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-190025.png)
*KeePassX 密码生成器*
根据日常的使用经验我积累了一些小的技巧使得操作KeePassX更简单一些
**疯狂地复制粘贴**
像这样复制粘贴密码你可能会比较担心。可以肯定的是这比手动输入高效多了。默认情况下KeePassX会在一分钟之内清空粘贴板也可以设置更短的时间所以不必担心有人会在你电脑上把密码粘贴下来查看。你也可以开启一个AutoType的特性该特性会自动输入密码不过出于某种原因它会把密码紧跟着用户名输入到同一个地方这样一来该特性似乎用处不大。
**数据库的困境**
如果你把数据库存放到云端,就不要为云端服务设置完全随机的密码。如果你不能进入到云,但是又把云密码存储到云里边,这是完全没有益处的。这看起来似乎很明显,但是刚开始我却没有意识到这一点。
**确保所有的密码都是安全的**
为了查看常用的账号,工作或者学习的时候要频繁地掏手机,这也是一件挺痛苦的事儿,所以设置密码的时候不妨想象一下这种情形,哈。
## 未来 ##
如果你以前也深入了解过KeePass 2和KeePassX或许会注意到二者使用不同的数据库格式。
KeePass 2使用一种新的版本格式比如允许自定义字段。尽管KeePassX目前还不支持新的.kdbx格式正在开发中的新的版本会加上这一点。
可以预览一下新版本的KeePassX界面大为改善。你也可以从GitHub上[6]下载后自己安装。
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_33_23.png)
*KeePassX 2.0 主界面*
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_34_14.png)
*密码项的一些细节*
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_34_44.png)
*密码项的附加属性*
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_35_18.png)
*历史登陆信息,比如从先前的版本替换掉"Backup"文件夹之类的*
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screenshot-from-2013-10-11-19_35_51.png)
*KeePassX 2.0 中的配置*
## 其他建议 ##
正如本文开头所说,**我在寻找能够跨平台的东西**。这正是.kdb格式的优点 - 很多应用都支持这种格式。KeePassX 在 Mac OS X上运行起来要比KeePass 2容易得多在windows上也可以。
Android系统上我使用KeePassDroid[6],在我的手机和平板上运行都很稳定。

精通Linux "kill"命令
================================================================================
你使用哪种操作系统没有关系,你一定会遇到某个行为失常的应用,它把自己锁起来拒绝关闭.在Linux(还有Mac), 你可以用一个"kill"命令强制终结它.在这个教程中,我们将展示给你多种方式使用"kill"命令终结应用.
**Kill命令和信号**
当你执行一个"kill"命令,你实际上发送了一个信号给从左系统指示它终结不正常的应用.总共有60个你可一使用的信号,但是基本上你只需要知道SIGTERM(15)和SIGKILL(9).
你可以用这个命令看到所有的信号:
kill -l
![](http://i1.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2013/10/kill-list-signal.png)
- SIGTERM - 此信号请求一个进程停止运行.此信号是可以被忽略.进程被给一段时间正常关闭.一个程序正常关闭意味着给一段时间来保存进度并释放资源.换句话说,它不是强制停止
- SIGKILL - 此个信号强制进程立刻停止运行.程序不能忽略此信号.未保存进度将丢失.
使用"kill"的语法是:
kill [信号或选项] PID(s)
默认信号(当没有指定的时候)是SIGTERM.当它不起作用时,你可以使用下面的命令来强制kill掉一个进程:
kill SIGKILL PID
or
kill -9 PID
这里"-9"引用SIGKILL信号.
如果你不知道应用的PID,仅需要运行这个命令:
ps ux
它会显示所有正在运行的应用还有应用的PID.
![](http://i1.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2013/10/kill-find-pid.png)
例如,要kill掉Chrome,我会运行命令:
kill -9 3629
也可以在同一时间kill多个进程.
kill -9 PID1 PID2 PID 3
**PKill**
"pkill"命令允许使用扩展的正则表达式和其它匹配标准.你现在可以使用应用的进程名kill掉它们,取代了使用PID.例如,kill Firefox浏览器,只需要运行命令:
pkill firefox
匹配正则表达式,你可以输入部分进程名,比如:
pkill fire
为了避免kill掉错误的进程,你应该用一下"pgrep -l [进程名]"列表来匹配进程.
![](http://i0.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2013/10/kill-pgrep-command.png)
**Killall**
killall同样使用进程名替代PID,并且它会kill掉所有的同名进程.例如,如果你正在运行多个Firefox浏览器的instances(实例),可以用命令把它们全部kill掉:
killall firefox
在Gnome,你可以重启Nautilus,使用这个命令:
killall nautilus
**xkill**
xkill 是图形方式kill一个应用.当你在终端键入"xkill",你的光标将立刻变成一个"十字".你必须在失常的应用上点击一下,它就会立刻kill掉这个应用.如果你喜欢精简,你也可以添加一个[键盘快捷键来激活xkill][1].
**结论**
当app失常导致系统挂起的时候,它非常有诱惑力相比于重启计算机并且再一次开启所有的会话.有了这些"kill"命令,你将能够更好的管理失常的应用避免导致系统崩溃.当你不想一个失常的进程带来服务器荡机时,它尤其的有用.

Shotwell 0.15发布了!添加了更多新功能及修复!
================================================================================
Ubuntu 默认安装了Shotwell,它能轻松的管理图片,提供基本的图片展示功能和图片编辑.以后将提供更多更多有用的功能.
Shotwell 已经更新到0.15版本,介绍了最新的特征和修复了大量已知的bug,并进行了更多的优化.
`右击图片-->打开方式-->Shotwell图片编辑`,用Shotwell打开图片后,在下边有几个选项,其中包括Adjust(调整)选项
点击'Adjust'按钮,用户能清楚的发现最新的Highlights(高亮)条目,这对于微调'Highlig'很有帮助;举例来说,尽可能调低'Highlights'设置,这样就能删除正在编辑的图片的光亮度.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/Shotwell%20015%20adjust.jpg)
点击按钮条中的'Crop'按钮,弹出可更改大小的会话框,允许用户根据要求自定义裁剪图片,0.15版本的对话框增加了 **尺寸显示** 的功能.
改变会话框的大小,会实时的显示目前的尺寸大小,用户能自由随意观察修剪框中的尺寸;举个例子,为了得到一张640*480的图片,用户可以将裁剪框调整到640*480,在图片编辑器中便利地增添图片清晰度.

除此以外,Shotwell 0.15 还增添了:
--Youtube 插件 OAuth / OpenID 的使用
--加强视频文件的导入
--优化了视频的缩略图
--修复了很多漏洞
我们怎么**安装** Shotwell 0.15呢?
添加以下 **官方** PPA(Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shotwell
Shotwell 0.15 已经登入Ubuntu 13.10,你只需要定期的更新软件,便会帮你自动安装,享受它带给你的乐趣吧!

Debian OpenSSL Bug - 后门还是安全事故?
======================================================
周一Ed 写了篇文章《软件透明度》[1],主旨是如果软件开发的过程是透明的,那么软件本身对恶意的后门(无心的安全漏洞)更具抵抗性。
软件透明的因素包括公开源代码,可以获取一个项目的追踪议题,以及允许参与内部开发者会议。他提到一种情况,在这儿我想详细讨论一下:
2008年Debian项目一个流行的用于web服务器的linux发行版宣称[2]Debian中OpenSSL[3]的伪随机数生成器遭到破解,已经不安全了。
周一Ed 写了篇文章《软件透明度》[1],主旨是如果软件开发的过程是透明的,那么软件对恶意的后门(以及无心的安全漏洞)更具抵抗性。
软件透明的因素包括公开源代码,可以读取或为一个项目的追踪议题做出贡献,以及参与内部开发讨论。他提到一种情况,在这儿我想详细讨论一下:
2008年Debian项目一个用于web服务器的很流行的linux发行版宣称[2]Debian中OpenSSL[3]的伪随机数生成器遭到破解,已经不安全了。
首先了解一些背景信息伪随机数生成器PRNG就是一个程序假定代号为F。给定一个随机种子s通过F(s)进行处理后,
会得到一个长的比特流。如果我和你都使用同样的种子s两个人会得到同样的比特流。但是如果我随机选择一个s也不告诉你s是什么
首先了解一些背景信息伪随机数生成器PRNG就是一个程序假定代号为F。给定一个随机种子s则会得到一个长的比特流F(s),看起来像个随机数。如果我和你都使用同样的种子s两个人会得到同样的比特流。但是如果我随机选择一个s也不告诉你s是什么
你根本不能够推测F(s)的结果如你所知F(s)也是随机的。OpenSSL中的PRNG试图从系统中抓取不可预测的信息"熵",比如当前进程ID
或者很有可能是不同的内存数据比如未初始化的内存该内存可能或者就是由其它一些进程控制等等。把这些东西转换成种子s
经F(s)处理,就会得到随机比特流。
或者很有可能是不同的内存内容比如由其它一些进程控制或可能控制的未初始化的内存等等。把这些东西转换成种子s就会得到随机比特流F(s)。
2006年为了解决一条从一个查找软件内存存取bug的工具[5]生成的警告[4]一名Debian维护者决定注释掉[6]OpenSSL PRNG里的两行代码[7]。
结果这两行代码非常重要代码负责抓取几乎所有的不可预测的熵抓取的熵会作为OpenSSL PRNG的种子。没有这些代码
PRNG只有总共32,767个选择可作为种子因而也就是说只有这么多的选择可用于F(s)进行处理。

但是这两行代码非常重要它们负责抓取几乎所有的不可预测的熵以作为OpenSSL PRNG的种子。没有这些代码PRNG只有总共32,767个选择可作为种子s因而也只有这么多的F(s)供选择。
很多依赖于OpenSSL随机数生成器的程序其实并不拥有那么多的随机选择但是他们原以为会有那么多的。
一个这样的程序要为SSL安全网络浏览和SSH安全远程登录生成秘钥。问题的关键在于这些秘钥必须是随机的如果你可以猜到我的秘钥
这样一来很多依赖于OpenSSL随机数生成器的程序其实并没有它们以为的那么多的随机选择。比如一个这样的程序要为SSL安全网络浏览和SSH安全远程登录生成秘钥。严格来说这些秘钥必须是随机的如果你可以猜到我的秘钥
你就可以破解我使用该秘钥保护的任何东西。这意味着你有能力读取加密的通讯信息,登录到远程服务器[8],或者伪造看起来似乎是真实的信息[9]。
这个漏洞是2006年第一次引入而且进入到Ubuntu中[10](另一个流行的linux发行版广泛应用于网络服务器)。漏洞影响到数以千计的服务器而且
存在了很长一段时间[11],因为只是给受影响的服务器打补丁还不足以解决问题,必须替换掉任何在漏洞存在情况下生成的秘钥。
顺便说一句,为伪随机数生成器寻找熵是个著名[12]的难题[13]。事实上,在今天来看要解决这个问题依然是个巨大的挑战。随机错误难以检测,
因为当你盯着输出看,每次运行程序结果都不一样,就像随机的一样。弱随机性很难定位,但是它可以使(貌似)安全的加密系统失效。
依然如此Debian中的那个漏洞一经发现在安全界[15]就常常被当做笑柄[16]。
因为当你盯着输出看,每次运行程序结果都不一样,就像随机的一样。弱随机性很难发现,但是它可以使(貌似)安全的加密系统失效。
不过Debian中的那个漏洞很醒目被发现后在安全社区[15]引起了很多嘲笑[16]。
这是个后门,故意设置的吗?似乎不大可能。[Kurt Roeckx][17]代码维护者后来成为Debian项目的主管。显然他是个可靠的家伙,
不是为了故意设置漏洞而由NSA伪造出来的身份。想进入Debian项目组的核心需要做出巨大的努力那真是出了名的难进。
这样看来,错误根本不是自己冒出来,而是一系列失误导致的,而且后果严重。
于是有人问,这是个后门,故意设置的吗?似乎不大可能。做出这个更改的代码维护者 [Kurt Roeckx][17]后来成为Debian项目的主管。这意味着他是个可靠的家伙,
不是为了插入漏洞而由NSA伪造出来的身份。想进入Debian项目组的核心需要做出巨大的努力那真是出了名的难进。
这样看来,错误根本不是有意为之,而是一系列失误导致的,而且后果严重。
漏洞确实是在一个透明的环境下引入的。所做的任何一件事都是公开的。但是漏洞就在那儿,而且呆了相当长一段时间。
部分原因在于,正因为所有的事情都是透明的,才导致极大的混乱,人们对那个显而易见的漏洞也都没太在意。
另外,也因为漏洞本身太过微妙。让修改带来的影响随便给谁看都能那么明显,这也不是设计该系统的目的。
漏洞确实是在一个透明的环境下发生的。所做的任何一件事都是公开的。但是漏洞还是引入了,而且长时间未被注意到。部分原因在于,透明引起了很多混乱,导致本应发现这个显而易见的漏洞的人们也都没太在意。
另外,也因为漏洞本身太过微妙,一个随意的观察者很难发现修改带来的影响。
这是否意味着软件透明没什么益处? 我可不这么认为。许多人都赞同透明软件要比不透明软件更安全。
但是这也并不表示漏洞不会产生,或者认为有其他人都看着呢而我们自己就可以掉以轻心。

至少,多年以后,透明可以让我们回想起,究竟是什么导致的那个漏洞,原来是工程上的纰漏而非人为破坏。
