11 Useful Utilities To Supercharge Your Ubuntu Experience
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Whether you’re a relative novice or a seasoned pro, we all want to get the most from our operating system. Ubuntu, like most modern OSes, has more to offer than what is presented at first blush.**
|
||||
|
||||
From tweaking and refining the look, behaviour and performance of the Unity desktop to performing system maintenance, there are a huge array of useful utilities and apps that can help **tune Ubuntu to meet your needs in no time**.
|
||||
|
||||
Caveat time: Ubuntu has always shipped with ‘sane defaults’ — options that just work — out of the box. These defaults are well suited for the majority of people. They’re tested, accepted and recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
But one size doesn’t fit all. For the tinkerers and experimenters among us the default experience is a starting point from which to tailor.
|
||||
|
||||
So, without any more waffle, here is a set of 11 nifty utilities to help you supercharge your Ubuntu experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unity Tweak Tool ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I’ll kick off this list with the big one: **Unity Tweak** Tool. The kitchen sink of customisation, Unity Tweak Tool offers a comprehensive set of system tweaks tuned for Ubuntu and the Unity desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s stuffed full of switches, toggles and control, letting you configure everything from the way Unity looks to the way it behaves. Use it to **quickly and easily change the GTK theme and icon set**, set up hot corners, adjust launcher size, add or remove workspaces, and — notably — enable Unity’s elusive ‘minimise on click’ feature.
|
||||
|
||||
Free and readily available from the Software Center, Unity Tweak Tool is one well worth keeping in your back pocket.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unity Privacy Indicator ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Privacy. A big, big issue and rightly so. But the topic is often shaded rather than binary; you may be happy to let some data or habits, say apps you frequently open, be logged locally, but not be ok with the searches you make in the Dash being ferried to a third-party server (however anonymous that data may be).
|
||||
|
||||
[Privacy Indicator][1] is a useful tool to help you stay abreast of what files, folders and services are being accessed, logged and recce’d on the Ubuntu desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
With a quick click on the ‘eye’ icon added to the desktop panel you can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Toggle Online Search Results, Zeitgeist, HUD Logging & GeoIP
|
||||
- Quick access to clean Zeitgeist, F2, Recent Files, etc.
|
||||
- Options to show/hide desktop icons and name in the panel
|
||||
|
||||
The latter two options may seem a little misplaced in this app but have less obvious privacy implications for those who take screenshots or screen share.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Download Indicator Privacy (.deb)][2]
|
||||
|
||||
### Unity Folders ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Android, iOS, OS X, Chrome OS, and GNOME Shell have app folders, and so can Unity with a nifty third-party app. **
|
||||
|
||||
“Unity Folders” allows you to organise apps on the Unity Launcher into handy folders — think ‘games’, ‘office’, ‘social‘, etc. You get quick access to your favourite apps without needing to open the Dash, which may suit your workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
Each ‘folder’ is, actually, an application that opens up and positions itself near the origin point. But the overall effect is one that looks like an OS X style stack or an Android folder popover.
|
||||
|
||||
Folder icons can be customised or auto-generated based on the applications tucked up inside. Existing folders can be edited, rearranged, rename and re-other stuff, too.
|
||||
|
||||
- Create as many folders as you like
|
||||
- Choose custom or auto-generated folder icon
|
||||
- 3 folder layouts to choose from
|
||||
- Set custom icons for apps added to folders
|
||||
- Edit existing folders
|
||||

||||

||||
|
||||
### Caffeine ###
|
||||
|
||||
A staple for many of us, and not just in our drinks, Caffeine offers a fast, silent way to stop your screensaver or lock-screen kicking in. The degree of usefulness will depend on your circumstances (read: quirks of your system), and though it’s not quite as user friendly as it once was, it’s still worth [checking out][3].
|
||||
|
||||
### System Monitor Indicator ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re a stat hound who likes to keep tabs on apps, processes and hardware status, Linux makes it easy. From Conky Configs to Terminal Commands — there’s no shortage of ways to monitor your CPU usage, network traffic or GPU temperature.
|
||||
|
||||
But by far my favourite is System **Monitor Indicator** – also known as indicator-multiload — available from the Ubuntu Software Center. It has a host of configuration options, too.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Power Saving Tools for Linux Laptops ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**TLP**
|
||||
|
||||
Linux distributions don’t have the best reputation when it comes to power efficiency on portable devices.
|
||||
|
||||
If your own Linux laptop can barely get you from the sofa to the kitchen before needing a recharge, there are some tools you can try.
|
||||
|
||||
TLP is one of the most popular automated background tool promising to prolong battery life of laptops running Linux. It does this by adjusting the settings and behaviour of system processes and hardware, such as enabling Wi-Fi power saving mode, runtime power management of PCI bus devices, and processor frequency scaling.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s available to [install on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later using the dedicated TLP PPA][5] and comes with a ‘catch-all’ config to get you started. The more advanced users among you can dive in and manually adjust the settings to suit your own hardware, something that a [thorough guide on the TLP wiki][6] makes easy.
|
||||
|
||||
**Laptop Mode Tools**
|
||||
|
||||
If TLP sounds a little too complex — and there’s no shame if it does — there’s a simpler alternative: **Laptop Mode Tools**. This package is available to install from the Ubuntu Software Center and keeps the tweaks made to a set of sane defaults (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
Laptop Mode Tools cannot be installed at the same time as TLP.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Laptop Mode Tools in Ubuntu Software Center][7]
|
||||
|
||||
### Intel Graphics Installer ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Intel Graphics Installer tool is a must-have for those running Intel graphics hardware who want the best performance they can get. It makes finding and installing the latest Intel GPU drivers a painless, fuss-free affair — no PPAs or Terminal kung foo needed.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Download Intel Graphics Installer for Linux 0.7][8]
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware Stats ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you plan on upgrading your PC or replacing a worn-out part you’ll need to get some specific hardware details, such as RAM type, CPU socket set or what PCI slots are available.
|
||||
|
||||
**I-Nex** makes unearthing this, and host of other detailed system stats, easy. Use it to find your motherboard model number, RAM stepping, S.M.A.R.T. status and…well, pretty much anything else you can think of!
|
||||
|
||||
- [Learn More About I-Nex on Launchpad][9]
|
||||
|
||||
### Disk Space Visualizer ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In this age of 1TB hard drives we might not need to be as prudent with disk space as we once were. But for those of using a smallish SSD, running multiple partitions or working in a virtual machine with a fixed-size virtual disk, there’ll be times when freeing up a bit of extra space is required.
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME Disks, installed in Ubuntu by default, makes finding the biggest space-gobbling culprits easy. Ideal for locating hidden logs, caches, and media files.
|
||||
|
||||
### BleachBit (Cruft Cleaner) ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows users will be familiar with applications like CCleaner, which scan for and clean out junk files, empty folders, bloated caches, and obsolete packages. For a a similarly quick and effortless click n’ clean solution on Ubuntu try **BleachBit**.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a powerful tool, so do pay attention to what you’re cleaning. Don’t aimlessly check every box; not everything that it can clean needs to be. Play it smart; when in doubt, leave it out.
|
||||

11 个 增强你的 Ubuntu 使用体验的实用工具
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**无论你是一个相对的新手还是经验丰富的专家，我们都想从我们的操作系统中得到更多的东西。正如大多数现代的操作系统，相比于乍一看呈现出的内容，Ubuntu 有更多东西可以向我们提供。**
|
||||
|
||||
从调整和优化 Unity 桌面的外观、行为、性能 到 执行系统维护，有着大量的实用工具和应用可以帮助你 **调整 Ubuntu 来无时不刻地满足你的需求**。
|
||||
|
||||
注意时刻： Ubuntu 一直都配备了‘合理的默认设置---即工作良好的选项---’，以达到开箱即用，这些默认设置适合大多数人，并且它们都是经过了测试，采用及推荐等过程的。
|
||||
|
||||
但一个尺寸并不适合所有。对于我们当中的能工巧匠和实验主义者来说，默认设置只是他们定制系统的起点。
|
||||
|
||||
所以，无需更多的唠叨， 这里有 11 个极好的实用工具来帮助你增强你的 Ubuntu 使用体验。
|
||||
|
||||
### Unity Tweak Tool ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
我将以这个列表中最重要的一个工具: **Unity Tweak Tool** 来开始这次的介绍。定制的厨房水槽（注：不知该如何翻译，感觉意思是：水槽之于厨房的重要性相当于该软件之于定制 Ubuntu 的重要性）， Unity Tweak Tool 提供了一系列针对 Ubuntu 和 Unity 桌面的系统综合调整功能。
|
||||
|
||||
它被各种开关，切换和控制塞得满满的，使得你可以任意设置从 Unity 桌面的外观到 Unity 的行为之类的任何东西。你可以使用它 **快速简便地改变 GTK 主题和图标集**、设置热区、调整启动器图标尺寸、增加或移除工作区，以及 ---特别地---开启 Unity 桌面中被巧妙隐藏的“通过点击最小化”的特点。
|
||||
|
||||
免费并可直接从 Ubuntu 软件中心里找到， Unity Tweak Tool 是非常值得保留在你的口袋里的工具之一。
|
||||
|
||||
### Unity Privacy Indicator ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
隐私是一个非常，非常重要的事，事实也恰恰如此。但这个话题总是被隐藏在二进制之下(注:感觉这里翻译有误，不太确定)。让一些数据或习惯，比如说你经常打开的应用，在本地被记录下来，这或许会让你感到高兴，但对于 你在 Dash 中的搜索数据被发送带第三方服务机构(尽管这些数据或许是匿名的)这类事情,你就高兴不起来了。
|
||||
|
||||
[Privacy Indicator][1] 是一个帮助你时刻跟踪 Ubuntu桌面系统中哪些文件、目录和服务正被获取、记录及搜索的实用工具。
|
||||
|
||||
通过快速的点击被添加到桌面面板上的‘眼睛’图标，你可以：
|
||||
|
||||
- 开启或关闭在线搜索结果，Zeitgeist(注：根据图片看，Zeitgeist 指的是 record activity)， HUD 记录 和 GeoIP 服务
|
||||
- 快速的启用 清理 Zeitgeist，F2(注：根据图片看，F2 指的是 通过 Alt-F2 执行的命令)，当前文件等等的记录数据
|
||||
- 展示或隐藏桌面图标以及它们在桌面面板上的名称
|
||||
|
||||
上面的最后两个选项在这个应用中似乎有点被放错了位置，但对于那些要分享截图或截屏的人来说，将会泄露更少的隐私。
|
||||
|
||||
- [从这里下载 Indicator Privacy (.deb)][2]
|
||||
|
||||
### Unity Folders ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Android, iOS, OS X, Chrome OS, 和 GNOME Shell 都有应用橱窗, 借助一个极好的第三方应用，Unity 也可以实现类似功能。**
|
||||
|
||||
“Unity Folders” 允许你组织位于 Unity 启动器中的应用到实用的橱窗中，--- 如 游戏，办公，社交等。不必打开 Dash，你就可以快速启动你喜爱的应用，这非常适合你的工作流。
|
||||
|
||||
每一个 ‘橱窗’其实一个打开 ，但总体效果看上去就像是一个 OS X 的风格栈 或 Android 的切换框(注：这里的翻译我拿不准)。
|
||||
|
||||
橱窗的图标可以自定义或根据橱窗内的应用来自动生成。已经存在的橱窗可以被编辑，重新组织，重命名以及如下的更多选择：
|
||||
|
||||
- 根据你的喜好创建任意多的橱窗
|
||||
- 选择自定义或自动生成橱窗图标
|
||||
- 可选择 3 种橱窗样式
|
||||
- 为添加到橱窗中的应用设定自定义图标
|
||||
- 编辑现有橱窗
|
||||
|
||||
[Unity Folders 的网址](http://unity-folders.exceptionfound.com/)
|
||||
(注：根据原文来看，这里应该有链接，转换为 md 文档时没有加上链接)
|
||||
|
||||
### 咖啡因 ###
|
||||
|
||||
对于我们中的许多人来说，咖啡因是主食，它并不只存在于饮料之中。咖啡因提供了一个快速，温和的方式来阻止你的屏保或锁屏起作用。有用的程度将取决于你的环境(即你系统的怪癖) （注：这一句我没有完全理解原文的意思），并且尽管它不像以前那样对用户友好，它仍然值得你[尝试一下][3]。
|
||||
|
||||
### 系统状态指示器 (System Monitor Indicator) ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
假如你是一个状态迷，即一个喜欢密切关注程序，进程和硬件的状态的人， Linux 很容易满足你的需求。从 Conky 的配置到终端命令，并不缺少监视你的 CPU 使用情况、网络流量或 GPU 温度的方法。
|
||||
|
||||
但至今为止，我最喜爱的应用是 系统**监视指示器**，---也被叫做多负载指示器---它可从 Ubuntu 软件中心获得。它也有着大量的配置选项。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 针对 Linux 笔记本电脑的省电工具 ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**TLP**
|
||||
|
||||
当提到便携式设备上的电池使用效率时，Linux 发行版本并没有最好的声誉。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你自己的 Linux 笔记本可以勉强在再次充电之前，让你从沙发到厨房，那么这里有几个你可以试试的工具。
|
||||
|
||||
TLP 是最受欢迎的确保延长 Linux 笔记本的电池寿命的自动化后台工具之一，它是通过调整系统进程和硬件的设置及行为来达到此目的的，例如 启动 Wi-Fi 省电模式， PCI 总线设备的实时电量管理和处理器的频率缩放调整。
|
||||
|
||||
在 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 以及后续发行版本中可以使用 TLP 专用的 PPA 来安装它。且它只带了‘包罗万象’的设置来使你踏上配置它的旅程。 在我们之中的高级用户可以潜心研究并根据你自己的硬件来调整设置，一个 [关于 TLP 的完整指导 wiki][6] 使得设置更加容易。
|
||||
|
||||
**Laptop Mode Tools**
|
||||
|
||||
假如 TLP 听起来有一点复杂 --这也并没有什么可羞耻的--这里有一个更简单的替代品： **Laptop Mode Tools**。 这个软件包可从 Ubuntu 软件中心直接安装，且本身设置好了一系列合理的默认设置(Wi-Fi,蓝牙等等)。
|
||||
|
||||
Laptop Mode Tools 不能和 TLP 同时被安装在电脑中。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Intel 显卡驱动安装工具 ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
对于那些运行 Intel 显卡硬件，并想使得这些硬件发挥出最佳性能的人来说，Intel 显卡安装工具是必须拥有的。 它使得 查找并安装最新的 Intel GPU 驱动变得不再是一件痛苦和大费周折的事 ---因为这无需 PPA 或任何的终端使用知识。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware Stats ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
假如你计划 升级你的 PC 或替换一个坏掉的零部件，你需要知道一些特定的硬件信息，例如 RAM 类型，CPU插座类型 或 查看那个PCI 槽是可用的等信息。
|
||||
|
||||
**I-Nex**可以使得 发掘出以上的信息以及其他的系统具体状态变得更加容易。使用它来查找你的主板型号、S.M.A.R.T.(注：为 Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology 的缩写，经常写为 SMART ) 状态，以及你想得出的很多东西！
|
||||
|
||||
- [可从 Launchpad 了解到更多关于 I-Nex 的信息][9]
|
||||
|
||||
### 磁盘空间可视化程序(Disk Space Visualizer) ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在这个硬盘以 1TB 计数的时代，我们或许不必同以前一样对硬盘空间的使用三思而后行。但对于那些使用小容量的 SSD，运行多个分区或在一个拥有固定虚拟磁盘大小的虚拟机上工作，总有感觉 释放一些额外空间是必要的 这种想法的时候。
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME Disks，在 Ubuntu 中被默认安装，使得查找占用最大磁盘空间的罪魁祸首变得容易。对于定位隐藏的日志、缓存和视频文件，它是非常完美的工具。
|
||||
|
||||
### BleachBit (Cruft Cleaner) ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 用户可能对像 CCleaner 之类的应用很熟悉，它可以扫描并清理垃圾文件、空白文件夹、臃肿的缓存以及陈旧的软件包。在 Ubuntu 上，一个相似的快速且毫不费力的一键式清理方法可以试试 **BleachBit** 。
|
||||
|
||||
它是一个强大的工具，所以一定要注意你正在清理什么。不要漫无目的地确认每个选项框；不是所有的东西它都可以清理。所以请合理地使用它，当你对某个选项有疑问时，就跳过它。
|
