$10,000 prize per-category Juju Charm Championship enters into its last two weeks
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Months and months ago, Canonical announced and started the work on the next-generation Ubuntu, bringing innovation in the IT world as related to desktops, phones and tablets, convergence-enabled experience pushing Canonical as a genuine generator of innovation and modernism.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet, the phones-tablets-desktops are not the only channel through which Canonical is expressing innovation and skill in computing, attributes adopted and constantly evolved by Ubuntu's cloud technologies, too, among which Juju.
|
||||
|
||||
[Juju][1] is a powerful, versatile and reliable tool that allows developers, administrators, companies, teams of developers to create, scale and manage services in the cloud by utilizing Juju charms.
|
||||
|
||||
Months ago, Canonical announced the exciting Juju Charm Championship, contest where interested developers are to create and submit charms, charms then judged and awarded (the winners) with $10,000 per category.
|
||||
|
||||
As available categories, [Juju Charm Championship][2] features `Continuous deployment`, `Media`, `Telco`, `High Availability`, `Data Science / Data Mining` and `Monitoring`, categories addressed to diverse types of charms and developers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The charms championship is happening during July 1th - October 22nd 2013, deadline moving, as of today, the interesting Juju Charm Championship into its last two weeks, time still available for creating and claiming accordingly the significant prizes and related extra benefits.
|
||||
|
||||
Juju Charm Championship is fully open for participation to every developer possessing cloud skills; complete details about the championship are available on [https://github.com/juju/charm-championship][3]

8 Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 was released today and for those of you who plan on doing a clean install, here are 8 useful things to do after the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Install some extra AppIndicators (applets) ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**System Load Indicator** is a port of the popular System Monitor GNOME Panel applet and it can display CPU, memory, network usage, hard disk I/O and more on the panel. Install it from the Ubuntu Software Center by clicking the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Or, to install it via command line, use:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Cpufreq Indicator** is the equivalent of the old GNOME CPU frequency scaling applet which can be used for changing the CPU frequency on-the-fly. Install it in Ubuntu by clicking the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Or install it from the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq
|
||||
|
||||
**My Weather Indicator** is an appindicator that displays the current weather on the Unity panel. The appindicator can also display a 5-day forecast, a desktop widget and supports four weather services: OpenWeatherMap, Yahoo, Wunderground and World Weather Online.
|
||||
|
||||
To install it in Ubuntu 13.10, use the commands below:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[**Variety**][3] is an application that comes with an AppIndicator but since you basically only have to configure it once and after that you'll only need to use the AppIndicator, I'll list it here. Variety is a cool wallpaper changer that automatically downloads and changes your wallpaper on a given interval. Using it, you'll get cool, fresh wallpapers each day. From the AppIndicator you can quickly switch to the next (random) wallpaper or copy the wallpaper to favourites, for later use.
|
||||
|
||||
To install Variety in Ubuntu, use the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:peterlevi/ppa
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install variety
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You'll probably also want a clipboard manager. I recommend **Diodon** which is lightweight, supports files, image sections and more. To install it in Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, click the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Or open a terminal and copy/paste the following command to install it:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install diodon diodon-plugins
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Tweak Unity ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Unity Tweak Tool** allows users to change various Unity settings such as auto-hide bahavior, window snapping and hot corners, tweak Dash, the Unity Launcher or HUD, change the GTK or icon theme, change the font face or size, move the window controls to the right and much more.
|
||||
|
||||
To install Unity Tweak Tool from the Ubuntu Software Center, click the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Or, install it in Ubuntu 13.10 via command line:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Privacy tweaks ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As you probably know, by default Dash shows all the recently accessed files as well as other files found on your filesystem. By selecting **Security & Privacy** from System Settings, you can choose what file types can show up in Dash, exclude various applications or folders/partitions from showing up in Dash and there's also an option to clear usage data.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, on the Search tab, you can disable online search results from being displayed in Dash. However, this option disables all the online search results so if for instance you only want to **disable the shopping suggestions**, you can run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "['more_suggestions-amazon.scope', 'more_suggestions-u1ms.scope', 'more_suggestions-populartracks.scope', 'music-musicstore.scope', 'more_suggestions-ebay.scope', 'more_suggestions-ubuntushop.scope', 'more_suggestions-skimlinks.scope']"
|
||||
|
||||
More on disabling Dash (search) plugins, [HERE][6].
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Another way to deal with privacy in Ubuntu 13.10 is to use the **Privacy Indicator**, a tool hat lets you quickly enable/disable Zeitgeist (activity logging) or online search results from showing up in Dash, clear the Zeitgeist log or recent files (which show up in the Nautilus "Recent" sidebar item for instance).
|
||||
|
||||
[**Download Privacy Indicator**][7] (there's a deb available at the bottom of the page)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Enable the discrete card on systems with Hybrid graphics ###
|
||||
|
||||
The Ubuntu developers have worked to support Hybrid graphics in Ubuntu 13.10 (and 12.04 LTS). Below you'll find instructions on how to set this up.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Nvidia Optimus**: unfortunately, the Nvidia Linux graphics drivers don't yet fully support Optimus - more on this subject, [HERE][8].
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) ships with a new package called "nvidia-prime" which enables the Nvidia graphics card on Optimus systems (which by default use the integrated Intel graphics chip). By using the instructions below, the Nvidia card will always be in use, so there's no way to switch it off to save power. Because of this, the laptop will consume more power and possibly overheat - **in my case, the laptop gets really hot and for this reason I'm not using this solution but things may work better for your laptop** (and if not, you can easily revert the changes).
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, that's not the only issue. You may also experience screen tearing and hotplug won't work so if you want to use multiple monitors, you'll have to manually set them up in xorg.conf. The advantages are that you'll be able to play games that aren't supported by the Intel graphics, use VDPAU-enabled media players, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, if you want to give this a try in Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, make sure you're using LightDM (the default Ubuntu display manager) and not some other display manager like GDM. Also, if you've installed Bumblebee, you'll need to purge it:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get purge bumblebee* bbswitch-dkms
|
||||
|
||||
Then, install the latest Nvidia drivers and "nvidia-prime":
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319 nvidia-prime
|
||||
|
||||
And finally, reboot (restarting X isn't enough).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to revert this change, simply remove the installed packages:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319 nvidia-prime
|
||||
|
||||
And reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
**AMD Hybrid graphics**: I didn't test this because I don't have a system with AMD graphics, but according to the [**HybridGraphics**][9] Ubuntu wiki page, there aren't any known issues, so I assume that everything works properly (again, I'm not sure since I can't test it!).
|
||||
|
||||
To get proper AMD Hybrid graphics support in Ubuntu 13.10, all you have to do is install the latest fglrx driver and fglrx-pxpress from the repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress
|
||||
|
||||
And then reboot the system (restarting X isn't enough).
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Improve battery life ###
|
||||
|
||||
There are two tools you can use to improve your laptop's battery life: laptop-mode-tools or TLP. Both try to achieve the same thing, but from what I've read, [**TLP**][10] seems to save a bit more power. However, TLP is only available in a PPA so if you don't like adding PPAs, install laptop-mode-tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Important note: **don't install both laptop-mode-tools and TLP!**
|
||||
|
||||
To install laptop-mode-tools, click the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Or install it from the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools
|
||||
|
||||
Or, to install TLP, use the commands below:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw
|
||||
sudo tlp start
|
||||
|
||||
No configuration is needed for either TLP or laptop-mode-tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Another way to save power and prevent your laptop from overheating (the tool also allows running apps or games on the discrete graphics card on demand, using the "optirun" command - see below) is **Bumblebee**. Bumblebee is a tool for laptops that use Nvidia Optimus, that disables the Nvidia card when not in use.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note: if you plan on using the hybrid graphics solution under step 4 for Nvidia Optimus, don't install Bumblebee!**
|
||||
|
||||
To install Bumblebee, click the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][12]
|
||||
|
||||
Or install it via command line:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
|
||||
|
||||
Then reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently there's a [**bug**][13] in Ubuntu 13.10 that prevents "optirun" from working. To fix it, use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
- 32bit:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so
|
||||
|
||||
- 64bit:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so
|
||||
|
||||
When you want to use the Nvidia graphics card for an application, run:
|
||||
|
||||
optirun APP-EXECUTABLE
|
||||
|
||||
replacing "APP-EXECUTABLE" with the application (or game) executable.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Install codecs, Java and encrypted DVD playback ###
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to play most audio and video formats, install **Ubuntu Restricted Extras** by clicking the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][14]
|
||||
|
||||
Or install it using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
|
||||
|
||||
I suggest to also install the **unrestricted versions of libavformat and libavcodec** so you don't encounter issues with missing codecs when trying to use some video editors or transcoders - install them by clicking the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][15]
|
||||
|
||||
Or by using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libavformat-extra-53 libavcodec-extra-53
|
||||
|
||||
You may also need Java, but you must figure out what you need. Most users will only need **OpenJRE** and the Java browser plugin which you can install by clicking the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][16]
|
||||
|
||||
Or by using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin openjdk-7-jre
|
||||
|
||||
For development, you'll also want **OpenJDK** which you can install by using the button below:
|
||||
|
||||
[][17]
|
||||
|
||||
Or by using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
|
||||
|
||||
If for various reasons, you need **Oracle Java** (the package includes JDK, JRE and the browser plugin), you can install [**Oracle Java 7**][18] by using the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
|
||||
|
||||
**Encrypted DVD playback**: the Medibuntu repository [**no longer exists**][19] and while most packages in the archive are obsolete or unnecessary because most are now in the official Ubuntu repository or have better equivalents, livdvdcss is still required for playing encrypted DVDs.
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable encrypted DVD playback in Ubuntu 13.10 by using the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
|
||||
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Get the latest Rhythmbox and VLC ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Two popular applications: Rhythmbox and VLC, haven't been updated to the latest version in Ubuntu 13.10. If you want to install the latest version for these apps, you can use PPAs.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that by upgrading Rhythmbox, the plugins in the Rhythmbox [**third-party plugins PPA**][20] will stop working. The plugins Rhythmbox ships with will obviously work.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rhythmbox** (version in Ubuntu 13.10: 2.99.1, version in PPA: 3.0.1):
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/media
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
|
||||
|
||||
**VLC** (version in Ubuntu 13.10: 2.0.8, version in the PPA: 2.1.0):
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install vlc
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Tweak Nautilus: disable recursive search and install a quick file previewer ###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The type-ahead find feature was remove from Nautilus starting with version 3.6. Later versions perform a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories when you start typing a file name. And this makes it unusable at times so if you find this behavior annoying, you can install Nautilus patched to allow [**disabling recursive search**][21] (you can easily enable it back if you want).
|
||||
|
||||
**To upgrade Nautilus to the patched version that allows disabling recursive search, use the following commands:**
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dr3mro/personal
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get upgrade
|
||||
nautilus -q
|
||||
|
||||
**Then, disable recursive search using the following command:**
|
||||
|
||||
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences enable-recursive-search false
|
||||
|
||||
If later on you want to re-enable recursive search, use the command below:
|
||||
|
||||
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences enable-recursive-search true
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**GNOME Sushi** is a quick file previewer for Nautilus. To install it, click the button below (this will install gnome-sushi and unoconv, required to be able to preview some files such as documents):
|
||||
|
||||
[][22]
|
||||
|
||||
or install it via command line:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install gnome-sushi unoconv
|
||||
|
||||
To use it, select a file (picture, text or document, sound file and so on) and press the SPACE key to preview that file. You can close the preview either by clicking the SPACE key again or clicking the window close button.
|
||||
|
||||
**Now it's your turn. What are the first things you install or tweak after a fresh Ubuntu installation?**
|
||||

|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**The new Kubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is now available for download, so it's time to see how much it has changed from the previous release with the help of a small screenshot tour.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The most important change in Kubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is the introduction of the new KDE 4.11.2, which comes with a lot of interesting features.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are just a few of the features promised by the developers: faster Nepomuk indexing, Kontact improvements such as a new theme editor for e-mails, and preparations for future developments using Wayland and Qt.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that this is not an LTS release, which means that the support period for this operating system is just nine months.
|
||||

New GNOME IRC App ‘Polari’
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*The latest build of Polari in action.*
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, they’ve 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 Ubuntu’s aged offering out of the park!
|
||||
|
||||
But it seems that the GNOME app gurus aren’t done yet. Work has recently begun on a new GNOME 3 IRC app called ‘Polari’.
|
||||
|
||||
*(As an aside, it’s 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 ##
|
||||
|
||||
It’s 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 today’s 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.*”
|
||||
|
||||
- Connect 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 you’re willing to build it from Git (requires GNOME 3.10) you’ll find that it’s 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.

Tuxmachines.org for sale
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I've decided to try and see if anyone might be interested in buying and doing something with my domain and site. So, today, I'm posting this ad here: tuxmachines.org for sale.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm just getting too old and tired to keep the site up with way it and its loyal visitors deserve. It may get better next spring, but this fall I'll end up losing all my visitors I'm afraid.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't have any unrealistic ideas of what this site is worth or what anyone might pay, especially these days. I'll entertain any offer and will probably accept much lower than one might think.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you'd like to have your own Linux site and don't want to start from scratch, here's a perfect choice. You'll get the artwork, theme, database, files, pictures, domain name (and anything else I may have forgotten) - or just the domain - whatever you want.
|
||||
|
||||
Just make an offer to srlinuxx at gmail dot com.
|
||||
|
||||
PS. I guess if the site doesn't sell, things will continue to be slow through the new year, but I'm hoping things will be better then*. I'll continue to do my best, so, keep your bookmarks or news feeds, please.
|
||||
|
||||
\* I'll blog more about this later.

Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Screenshot Tour
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is now officially available for download, so we’re taking a closer look at the latest operating system from Canonical.**
|
||||
|
||||
This latest version of Ubuntu, 13.10, was supposed to integrate Mir, the new display server from Canonical, but last minute problems forced the developers to drop it for now.
|
||||
|
||||
Even without Mir, Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) still features quite a few improvements, such as a new Linux kernel, Unity 7, improves Dash search, Ubuntu One integration, and a lot more changes under the hood.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the developers, [Ubuntu][4] 13.10 includes the 3.11.0-12.19 Ubuntu Linux kernel which is based on the v3.11.3 upstream Linux kernel. Also, the distribution will only be supported for 9 months. Non-LTS releases prior to Ubuntu 13.04 were supported for 18 months.
|
||||
|
||||

Ubuntu 13.10 released and available for download
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Six months have passed since the previous Ubuntu release, six months full of development incarnated now in the public space as Ubuntu 13.10.
|
||||
|
||||
The Saucy Salamander development cycle has been characterized by numerous optimizations and improvements, as well as by new features and an overall increase in stability, reliability and speed.
|
||||
|
||||
What is **new** in Ubuntu 13.10?
|
||||
|
||||
**Unity 7** presents itself now as a significantly enriched place for searches, allowing the user to search through a massive amount of data sources ranging from local folders, locally-stored music tracks to Wikipedia and deviantART due to the newly-implemented Smart Scopes Project.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, via the Smart Scopes project, the Dash has been extended to embrace the web and its sources, gathering under a single view a wide, diverse and useful range of sources, typing a term in the search area, pushes the typed word through relevant online sources of the Internet, returning explanatory images, weather forecasts, historic references, places to look further, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
In Ubuntu 13.10, the Dash has been imprinted with the capacity of mixing one of the most important and useful data sources, permitting search actions in a matter of seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 7 exposes by default numerous scopes (data sources) in the Applications scope, in order to satisfy the user; clicking on a scope, allows the user to 1-click away enable/disable the scope, disabling a scope, temporarily removes the scope from the searched-through data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 uses the handy **Alt+Tab Switcher**, manner of switching between opened applications receiving mouse pointer support, hitting now the keyboard's `Alt+Tab` keys, summons the `Alt+Tab` Switcher, while retaining the functionality-enabled mouse pointer on the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
As a consequence, the user is able to act with the mouse pointer on the switcher.
|
||||
|
||||
nstalling Ubuntu 13.10, the user is to notice the default addition of Indicator Keyboard, appindicator housing language-specific functionalities on the easiness of the Unity panel, while featuring 1-click away functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Shifting from one language to another is now doable by simply clicking on the Indicator Keyboard's preferred language.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 increases its **chameleonic** nature on the desktop, transforming the desktop's selection area into a background's average color handler; selecting files and folders on the desktop, the user is to be delighted by the newly-acquired chameleonic color used by the selection block, chameleonic area generating more consistency on the desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu Software Center** has been updated with a more refined behavior when installing applications, featuring now more accurate trajectories of apps and subtly-refreshed animations, feature paired with handy offline DEB-installation support.
|
||||
|
||||
Having no Internet connection, the user is still able to install DEB packages via Ubuntu Software Center.
|
||||
|
||||
In Ubuntu 13.10, clearing all logged events is easier and more hassle-free via the new **Activity Log Manager**, featuring now a new look, feel and more deep coverage of logged event.
|
||||
|
||||
Activity Log Manager allows now the (on demand) removal of all Zeitgeist's logged events, removal affecting recent files and open with-like dialogs, too.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Ambiance** and **Radiance**, Ubuntu's default light themes, come with significant long-awaited refinements, beautifying the desktop with consistent toolbars (fully dark, fully light), consistent menus, properly-rendered buttons, removal of unpleasant anesthetic white lines on dark backgrounds, etc, basically, being finely-tuned and affecting numerous applications and corners of the desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Evince**, the handy document reader, gained a modern toolbar, where the eye is to be pleased by the new toolbar containing monochrome icons, more button-ized feel and relocated search area, transforming one's reading experience into a more enjoyable activity.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Shotwell** is now able to display the size of the about-to-be-cropped portion from edited images, thus the user can clearly observe the size of cropped areas, as well as being able to more accurately crop specific intended sizes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Playing music tracks has a superior approach in Ubuntu 13.10 due to Rhythmbox's visually enriched look, subtle changes adding elegance into the simplistic-yet-handy music player; newly-added buttons and the text-less toolbar align Rhythmbox to the latest version of Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As usual, Ubuntu 13.10 has received the fruits of the **wallpaper**-submission contests and the default wallpaper, enriching the desktop with interesting shapes, colorful patterns and an evolved version of the default wallpaper, resulting more vivid full-of-vitality visuals decorating Ubuntu 13.10.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The 2.8 series of **Transmission** increases the amount of details exposed in torrent-specific actions, pushing a useful bundle of new features into Ubuntu 13.10's torrent-downloading experience, as in the case of several fixes and extra informations (like for example, allowing the user to observe the size of the free space when adding torrents).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Devices (USB sticks, disk partitions) are now fully exposed on the GNOME Disks' main view, permitting an intuitive manner of selecting devices and acting on them; erasing a USB stick is as simple as selecting it and hitting the bottom-bar's button, without the need of navigating through GNOME Disks' internals.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Typing assistance, popups and sound support are features implemented in Ubuntu 13.10's Onboard, default virtual keyboard offering modernism and significantly-enriched capabilities to users seeking to utilize the user-friendly virtual keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 comes with **updated** versions for its default software, among which Firefox, Linux kernel, LibreOffice, etc, each and each application offering new features, optimizations and an overall up-to-date nature.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing and running Ubuntu 13.10, the user is to notice the level of **strength**, **speed** and **smoothness**, **fluid** Ubuntu experience fully penetrating all corners of the desktop; faster Unity, more responsive applications, less used resources and an overall agile feel are part of Ubuntu 13.10.
|
||||
|
||||
Along with new features, Unity 7 has received several bug-fixes-only releases, versions solidifying and strengthening Unity, in order to deliver a Unity version almost reaching perfection, Unity presenting itself as no-compromise and suitable for every and every situation, ranging from maneuvering tens of opened windows to not-interfering with fullscreen games.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 is recommended for immediate installation, being a clear win in terms of performance, speed and agility, as compared to the previous Ubuntu 13.04.
|
||||
|
||||
Across the latest six months, the Ubuntu **quality** team has continued to extend the automated tests in more and more layers and areas of Ubuntu, generating even more solid and robust Ubuntu pieces, automated tests having the goal of stressing the 13.10 desktop, in order to detect more and more issues, issues then fixed and implemented in the powerful operating system.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Opens For Development
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Take a deep breath and prepare to jump back on the development rollercoaster: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [has opened for development][1].**
|
||||
|
||||
Things won’t get off to a rollicking start *just* yet. The early part of every development cycle is spent getting things up-to-date by syncing the latest versions of key development packages.
|
||||
|
||||
To stretch my “theme park” analogy a little further, imagine the first few weeks of the development cycle as being like the pre-ride check on a roller coaster; you have to wait for the ride attendant to double-check that everything is okay (and anything that might fall out is securely strapped in) before the “go” button can be pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Then the fun comes.**
|
||||
|
||||
For now at least there’s little reason for anyone but core developers to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
The Trusty cycle is the first in which ARM 64bit port is included from the start of the cycle (having appeared mid-way through the Saucy’s development period).
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu’s Matthias Klose notes that “resources [for ARM64] are still limited compared to other architectures” - those needing help building for the port are advised to check in to the #ubuntu-devel IRC channel for help.

||||

Ubuntu Countdown, third-party Ubuntu 13.10-related interesting widget
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Two days left for the exciting arrival of Ubuntu 13.10, stable Ubuntu release marking a fresh new Ubuntu experience with new features, optimizations and under-the-hood enhancements.
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu Countdown** is a **third-party** widget that displays in real time the amount of time left until Ubuntu 13.10's release, offering an interesting clock rendered on top of an Ubuntu-wise wallpaper.
|
||||
|
||||
The Ubuntu Countdown widget comes with minimalism and readability, allowing the viewer to easily observe the interval of time between the now and the October 17th's long-awaited release.
|
||||
|
||||
A definitely interesting aspect of the mentioned countdown is its double-sided nature: on one hand, there is the countdown, on the other hand, there is the encapsulated [ubuntu.com][1].
|
||||
|
||||
Meaning, clicking on the widget, changes the countdown with the official ubuntu.com website, permitting further actions on ubuntu.com, actions happening inside the same widget.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Countdown can be easily embedded into a webpage by simply copying & pasting the embed code available on [http://www.corbindavenport.com/ubuntu/][2]

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

Unity 8 updated with fancy new previews
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ubuntu converged is the next-generation pure Ubuntu experience, convergence-enabled operating system that is to power phones, tablets and desktops with fresh, new, innovative interfaces, behaviors and capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
[Unity 8][1] is a critical part of Ubuntu converged, new Unity version traversing an impressive development road across the latest months, seeing new and new features, polish and additions on a constant basis.
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 has been updated to yet-another meaningful release, introducing significantly improved and refined previews for its content (images, video clips, music tracks, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
Running Unity 8, navigating to the Applications scope and clicking & holding on an application, the user is to notice the revamped previews for the previewing areas with:
|
||||
|
||||
- images are now more clearly rendered
|
||||
- the text positioned at the top of the preview has been removed
|
||||
- descriptions are more readable and properly located inside the preview
|
||||
|
||||
essentially, a more pleasant preview view.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The newly-revamped previews have been implemented in multiple scopes, including the Videos scope, too; long-pressing on a video clip, pushes the clip into its dedicated preview, where the user is to be delighted by repositioned buttons, new listed entries with handy informations (`Format, Dimensions, Size`), relocated title, as well as by the newly-added play-like icon rendered on top of the clip's thumbnail.
|
||||
|
||||
Meaning, the user is now able to open video clips by both:
|
||||
|
||||
- hitting the `Play` button
|
||||
- clicking directly on the thumbnail, action that opens the clip via the default video player
|
||||
|
||||
The Music scope follows the new designs, expressing its music previews with no header, resized thumbnails (filling now a more natural portion of the screen) and repositioned buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, the images from the Photos scope are now exposed with the mentioned refinements, permitting more accurate observations of images with a more clean, clear look.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The new preview-wise enhancements add a significant instantly-noticeable elegance to Unity 8, while presenting items with more intuitive, easily-graspable informations, overall improvements surrounded by class and eyecandy gains.
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 is [available][2] for testing via Ubuntu 13.10's Ubuntu Software Center.

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