KDE Connect Adds Android File Sending, Touchpad Emulation
================================================================================
**A new version of KDE Connect for Android that adds a number of new features has been released.**
![KDE Connect can now share files between desktop and mobile](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/kde-connect-share-feature.jpg)
KDE Connect can now share files between desktop and mobile
KDE Connect for Android and the Plasma desktop now allow the touchscreen of a connected device to be used as a touchpad for your computer.
This additional wireless input device will act just like a basic mouse, though doesnt (yet) support multitouch features like two finger scrolling or right-clicking.
Androids share intent now supports KDE Connect, allowing you to send files from Android to your desktop and vice versa using a menu entry in the Dolphin file manager or by pushing files using a new command line option.
Similar features for [iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite][1] and [Android L and Chrome OS][2] are planned to debut this fall.
The updated version also fixes a number of bugs and includes numerous improvements, including support for FreeBSD systems.
Full Feature List:
- Share files to/from Android and KDE
- Touchpad emulation
- Receive notifications from Android 4.3+ on desktop
- Shared clipboard supports copy and paste between phone and PC
- Multimedia remote control for select desktop media players (MPRIS)
- Battery status
- Wi-Fi connection sharing
- RSA Encryption
### Download KDE Connect 0.7 ###
The KDE Connect Android application is free to download from the Google Play and F-Droid stores.
- [Download KDE Connect from Google Play][3]
To make use of the newest features you will also need to install the latest version of KDE Connect (version 0.7) for Plasma. As of writing this is not yet available as a .deb installer or through a PPA. It can, however, be installed from source on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS and above by following the instructions [provided here][4].
- [Download KDE Connect 0.7 Source][5]

New Linux Podcast App Vocal Hits Beta, Ready for Testing
================================================================================
**Back in April we found ourselves enamoured by a promising new [podcast app for Ubuntu called Vocal][1]. Well, the app has since gone from being a stylish mockup to real working code — and you can help test it.**
The projects developer, Nathan Dyer, has made beta builds — still unstable and not feature complete — available for testing through a dedicated PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 14.10.
The kicker to this (rather sweet) news is that the beta builds of the app **can only be installed if youre using the next-gen elementary desktop**. And since elementary do not provide official pre-beta development builds for users to test, that makes it a trite difficult.
Not quite as difficult as trying it out on Unity, GNOME or KDE desktops, mind. If youre an Ubuntu user wanting to kick the tires on Vocal you will first need to add an unstable elementary desktop PPA to your systems, something we strongly advise against doing.
Dyer suggests interested users wait until the first beta of the next elementary version is made available.
For now we can at least look at it:
![Vocal Beta running on Elementary (Image: Dyer)](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/vocal-beta.png)

Since Vocal is open source theres nothing to stop it being ported over to mainstream Linux desktop environments such as Unity.
In the meantime to learn more visit [the developers blog][1], [check out the unstable PPA][2] or hit up [Vocal on Launchpad][3].

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Customizing Unity
================================================================================
Although the Unity Desktop Manager has made HUGE performance and usability strides since the initial release in Ubuntu 11.10, some people are still put off by a number of the limitations in customizing the look and behavior of the window manager. We are going to take a look at how to customize Unity and bring back a sense of control to your desktop.
### Unity Customizations Available ###
In Ubuntu 14.04, Unity has several customizations that are available that were not previously. If you log into Unity, go the the “Settings” and choose “Display”, you will see the following screen:
![Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Display and Unity Settings](https://linuxacademy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/unitysettings.png)
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Display and Unity Settings
Most of what you see is new since the Ubuntu 11.10 Unity introduction and several are new since just the latest version of Ubuntu 13.10. New since 13.10 are the ability to scale the menu and title bars. This is useful in very high resolution screens OR as a visual impairment option. Everything scales equally.
Specific to Unity we can also turn on or off that “sticky edges” option. This is the somewhat annoying “pause” your mouse does on the edge of each screen of a multi-monitor setup. It stops the mouse momentarily at the edge, like it gets stuck. Finally, we have to option to turn that off.
In the “Settings” screen still, choose the “Appearance” option to see the following:
![Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Appearance and Unity Settings](https://linuxacademy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/unityappearance.png)
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Appearance and Unity Settings
Here we have one of the most requested options for the Unity Dock, the ability to change the Launcher size. Although it could be done in multiple ways in various versions of Ubuntu since 11.10, including it in the Appearance setting just makes it all official. I like that it allows you to change the icon size all the way down to 16 (even the tool we will talk about next only supports 24).
### Unity Tweak Tool Now Repo Strong! ###
This tool has been around since the early days of Ubuntu 11.10 when Unity was first introduced, although you had to jump through a large number of hoops (and progressively smaller as the versions went on) to get it installed and it would be broken by Unity updates.
Now however, it has officially been added to the default Ubuntu repositories and gets updated when Unity gets updated. There are a large number of customizations, so lets get it installed:
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
After installation, start it up and you will see the following screen:
![Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Official Unity Tweak Tool](https://linuxacademy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/unitytweaktool.png)
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Official Unity Tweak Tool
This tool encapsulates a large number of Unity Desktop customizations all in once convenient location. Most of these options can be had in the default Unity settings, at the command line or by editing sometimes hard to find configuration files.
We can change the behavior of the dock, the panel, web applet integration, search within the Unity menu, etc. all within this one tool. Take the time to explore the options available to you Unity Tweak Tool learn it, live it, love it (at least if you use Unity).
### Final Thoughts ###
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is shaping up more and more to be the Linux Desktop (sorry Canonical, you are still Linux) of choice for both the casual Linux user (is there such a thing) as well as the die hard professional.
We now have more control than every over the Unity Desktop without resorting to tools, utilities or configuration file edits that may break with each subsequent Unity update. The desktop performance is pretty rock solid and, by adding some flavor with the Unity Tweak Tool, looks pretty cool as well! Drop us your thoughts or post links to your Unity Desktop set up in the comments below, we would be interested to see how you are using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

How to access popular search engines from the command line on Linux
================================================================================
Why would anyone want to search things on the Internet via a terminal? I don't know. There are probably a lot of reasons. But since an answer that no one asked for is always less frustrating than a question that no one can answer, here is a list of popular search engines with the command-line tools that allow you to access them from a Linux terminal.
### 1. Google ###
Let's start right with a giant: Bing! No just kidding, Google. To be frank, you don't really need a utility to search on Google from the command line. A simple:
$ xdg-open https://www.google.com/search?q="[query]"
would open your web browser on the appropriate search page. However, if what you want is to see the results of that search from a terminal window, without opening any kind of web browser, I would recommend using [cli-google][1]. It is super old (last updated in 2009) but I like it. It is a simple and straightforward application which does exactly what it's supposed to do.
Once you install cli-google, you can do searches with a colored output. You can also adjust the amount of results and the language that you want. Just type:
$ google
in your terminal to see all the options.

### 2. YouTube ###
There is going to be a lot of Google in this list. I will try to keep it as minimal as possible, but there is no escape. YouTube is for a lot of people the go to when it comes to finding a video of something quickly. To do such things from a terminal, my go to is [mps-youtube][2]. This software lets you search, make playlists, download videos, and read the comments from the terminal. Once you install mps-youtube, launch it with:
$ mpsyt
Then type h to see the options. For quick usage, you can just do:
/[query]
to search for something, then type the number ID of the video to listen to its sound, or type:
i [video-number]
to see its information, and type:
d [video-number]
to download it. If just listening is not enough for you, here is the trick:
set player mplayer
set show_video True
Now the video will show up in another window on mplayer.

### 3. Wikipedia ###
Same as for Google, for Wikipedia I like an old script that works just fine: [cliWiki][3]. Once you install it, just run:
$ cliwiki
And then type in your search. If there is a direct match, the page will be displayed in the terminal. The output can be quite long so I advise you to channel it with the less command. It is certainly not the most efficient way to do it, but if your goal is to get a block of text concerning a keyword, this is exactly what you need.
![](https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2903/14330600657_065d26cdf2_z.jpg)
### 4. The Pirate Bay ###
Now let's talk dirty. There are surprisingly (or not) a lot of utilities to find torrents on The Pirate Bay from the command line. However my preference goes to [pirate-get][4]. It comes with a ton of options that you can discover with:
$ pirate-get -h
But to keep it simple:
$ pirate-get --color -c [category] [query]
will return the result from a certain category of the search corresponding to a query, and with a colored output! From there, the application will prompt you to enter the number of the result that you want, and will then download the torrent from a magnet link. Simple and easy. Use only on non-copyrighted material!
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3923/14330448479_ae503561e6_z.jpg)
### 5. Twitter ###
Twitter is a good search engine for trends. We already covered [how to access Twitter from the command line][5] using t, but I personally prefer [TTYtter][6] to it. This utility is extermely powerful, could deserve its own post, and cannot be resumed to simply searching. But I am just going to use it as a search engine here. Once installed and configured, you can log in and search using the command:
/search [query]
The interface is a bit rough on the eye, but you will get accustomed quickly. Notice that this will work with plain words but also hash-tags.
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5077/14537153013_cc32a98b08_z.jpg)
To conclude, these are in my opinion the big five search engines that people tend to use the most and which are accessible via the command line. The absents are probably Google Images and Google Maps, but those are kind of hard to adapt to the console I guess. I also wanted to look for a music search engine, but did not find any "worthy" of this list. As you have probably noticed, the tools on this list are uneven in term of features and options: some are simplistic while others go deep into functionality. But in the end they all do the job.
Which search engines are missing from this list? Do you know some utilities that were not mentioned? Let us know in the comments.
