起初，这个想法可能看起来荒谬可笑或者不怀好意。因为你仍能看到Ubuntu的狂热支持者们在为其每一个发行版的改进鼓掌叫好呐喊助威；记者们也还在谄媚地报道Ubuntu创始人Mark Shuttleworth所说的每一句话。

然而，[Ubuntu在Google上搜索量][3]的锐减趋势也许能说明一些问题。除了Android和Mageia，其他Linux[主流发行版][4]情况类似，都有所下降，但事实是，即便这样，却没有哪个发行版像Ubuntu一样下降得如此厉害 —— 搜索量还不到2007年10月的一半，为2006年六月以来的最低值。

和去年形成鲜明对比的是Ubuntu的早几年。2005年到2007年，三年间，Ubuntu成为了Linux桌面世界最新最伟大的希望之星，批评言论主要限于那些认为没有给Debian足够荣誉或是质疑某个古怪暴发户投资动机的人。

在那些风光的年月里，Ubuntu确实做出了很多努力，大大推进了Linux桌面系统的易用性与普遍性。也许最值得铭记的就是它对多语言环境和键盘区域切换的支持，现在这已成为各大主流发行版的标准。

但好景不长，渐渐地，Ubuntu和Canonical开始将自己孤立于主流自由软件社区之外。Shuttleworth的那些美好初衷，诸如项目协作、强调易用性等等，都被严重忽略了。由于对GNOME开发速度不满 —— 也或者是被GNOME社区视为爆发户 —— Shuttleworth开始了Unity 接口开发，他对此如此着迷，以致甘愿放弃Canonical CEO的职位。

Canonical是否曾经相信Ubuntu发行版能够盈利，这我们不得而知。当然，之前无数的教训已经警告了Canonical，为赚钱而生的发行版成功的几率有多渺茫。但是多年来在Ubuntu上付出的努力似乎表明Canonical希望——或者曾经希望——能将不可能变为可能。又或者，也许Canonical只是简单地将一个优秀发行版看作是其宏伟目标的踏脚石。

## 优点 ##
|
||||
###总结
|
||||
|
||||
如果您正在寻找传统但也包含了一些新的功能的音频播放器，你应该试试Audacious。
|
||||
|
||||
该软件有一个简单的界面，它几乎不占用任何系统资源，没有任何花里胡哨的功能，这也正是它的风格。Audacious播放音乐，就这样，一点也不突兀。
|
||||
|
||||
**优点**
|
||||
|
||||
我最喜欢Audacious的就是它清爽干净，而不是伪装简单的界面。从一开始，你会发现，一切都已经设计了这样一种方式，你几乎不可能会犯任何错误。
|
||||
|
||||
不像它的一些竞争对手软件（对，我说的就是Rythmbox），为了导入一个简单的文件夹，你将四处摸索此功能所在何处。它不会用各样的排序你的音乐库的方式来打扰用户，显示歌曲的元数据也不是侵入式的。
|
||||
|
||||
它还配备了一个非常简单和高效的悬停界面，当你想看到一首歌的细节，但你不想点击该特定项目，这是非常有用的。
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious还配备了三个不同的可以使老用户回到以前所用的“真正的”音频播放器的可视化模型，并且所有的都可以修改和定制。
|
||||
|
||||
所有你期望一个媒体播放器所具有的其他选项，它都具有，谈论他们不是主要目的。您可以导入播放列表，设置重复点，甚至还有一个非常简单和良好的均衡。
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious的优势之一是默认包括的音效，如去除人声，采样率转换器，通道混合器，速度和间距，以及更多。
|
||||
|
||||
从偏好设置里，大量的插件也可以被激活，如：专辑封面，歌词，状态图标，GNOME快捷键，和其他的等。请注意，所有这些插件在默认情况下是禁用的，他们得由用户手工开启，以便使界面干净漂亮。
|
||||
|
||||
## 不足 ##
|
||||
|
||||
关于此软件的评论，我可能会有点主观，因为我真的不能忍受过于复杂的音频播放器，Audacious正对我的胃口。但是，说句公道话，我曾经是爱过能够添加排序字段的播放列表功能的。
|
||||
|
||||
这款应用还具备第二个“Winamp”模式的特性，这使它看起来像Windows平台上的Winamp播放器，不幸的是，每次我试着激它的时候Audacious崩溃了，但也可能是因为Ubuntu13.10目前还不稳定。
|
||||
|
||||

Ubuntu联系人应用已支持增强的头像功能
|

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

为下一代Ubuntu设计的新一代软件们正在通过多方面的支持逐步的建立起来，包括了一套由第三方的程序员和Ubuntu程序员及设计者们一起开发出来的核心应用，以及他们开发出来的越来越多的官方应用。
|
||||
|
||||
在官方的开发出来的软件们中有一个联系人应用程序，它非常的容易上手，在漂亮的界面里面集成了联系人管理功能。有许多可以编辑的字段、 快速滚动条，此外列出来的项目还会提供一个有趣的相关联系的应用（正在研发中。）
|
||||
|
||||
[联系人应用][1]升级了另外一个附加的功能，就是我们[最近][2]介绍的新功能里，那个叫做联系人头像的功能。
|
||||
|
||||
在它的上一个版本中，用户可以通过联系人中心支持头像的选择，现在在主界面中也开始支持头像的显示了。
|
||||
|
||||
这个意思是，点击一个联系人，按下下方的`编辑`按钮来为这个联系人添加一个图片作为头像，来替代之前的单色图标，添加图片后，点击保存。之后回到主界面就能够看到之前添加的头像了，之前的单色图标就被我们替换成刚刚添加的图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
此外，头像的四角修饰成了圆角，以美化联系人的显示。甚至在用户选择一个非正方形的图片时候会生成带圆角的缩略图。
|
||||
|
||||
此外，点击那些已经开启avatar的联系人。点开联系人，在看到用户的图片的地方，可以用新的图片替换掉旧 图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
联系人应用已经[可以][3]在Ubuntu13.10的 Ubuntu软件中心中找到了，已经可以安装使用或测试了。

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。

Mark Shuttleworth认为苹果5S使用了Ubuntu Edge终端融合的创意
|
||||
=====================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical公司的创始人Mark Shuttleworth通过这一有趣的说法将Ubuntu Egde智能手机与iPhone 5S联系了起来。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
几个月前，Canonical和Mark Shuttleworth尝试筹资来推出一款手机，该手机被认为是手机中的“F1赛车”。虽然筹资失败了，但是他认为苹果已经从这款手机（Ubuntu Edge）的概念中获得了灵感。
|
||||
|
||||
“我认为Ubuntu Edge可能加速了终端融合的概念，你看苹果描述他们的新的CPU为‘桌面级’的，我认为这并不是偶然。”他在接受[ZDnet][1]采访时这么说。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical公司的创始人可能有一些我们不能获得的内部消息，不过这也许只是一个有趣的猜测。
|
||||
|
||||
苹果是否会按照Canonical的Ubuntu Edge手机描绘的终端聚合方向发展还有待观察。

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。

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，提供基本的图库管理和图片编辑功能，以后将提供更多有用的功能.
|
||||
|
||||
Shotwell 已经更新到0.15版本，带来了新的特征，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,这对于微调高亮很有帮助；举例来说，将'Highlights'设置调到很低，这样就能降低正在编辑的图片的明暗程度。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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大小裁剪图片，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:
|
||||
|
||||
- 支持Youtube插件 OAuth/OpenID 认证
|
||||
|
||||
- 增强视频文件的再次导入
|
||||
|
||||
- 优化了视频的缩略图生成
|
||||
|
||||
- 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已经被放入了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!

许多桌面发烧友至今仍然对Ubuntu转用Unity耿耿于怀，另外有些人不喜欢[Ubuntu][2]的母公司[Canonical][1]一意孤行，用Mir代替更主流的Wayland，还有些人不喜欢Ubuntu将本地搜索与Web搜索合并在一起。我想说，那又怎样！

*Ubuntu 13.10下周发布，本文只是预热。*
|
||||
*Ubuntu 13.10即将发布，本文只是预热。*
|
||||
|
||||
让我来告诉你们，什么是事实！回首2011年4月，Ubuntu的创始人Mark Shuttleworth曾经说过，Ubuntu新的发展方向是，“为普通消费者带来[快乐、自由、创新、性能和安全，而这些正是Linux平台中一直所缺少的东西][3]”。如今，他做到了！
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10，代号“俏皮的蝾螈(Saucy Salamander)”，已经进入发布前的最后阶段。的确，Ubuntu也许不是那些每天热衷于编译内核代码的Linux专家们所喜爱的桌面Linux，因为它本就不是为那些人准备的。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu是一个所有人，甚至包括我那81岁的老岳母，都能使用的Linux桌面操作系统。基于这个角度，Ubuntu已经成功了，而下周最终发布的新版本，对于那些仅仅只是想学习使用一台电脑的新人来说，其意义绝不亚于一场胜利。

Ubuntu是一个所有人，甚至[包括我那81岁的老岳母][3-1]，都能使用的Linux桌面操作系统。基于这个角度，Ubuntu已经成功了，而下周最终发布的新版本，对于那些仅仅只是想学习使用一台电脑的新人来说，其意义绝不亚于一场胜利。
|
||||
|
||||
为了目睹新版的Ubuntu是如何做到这一点的，我在两套系统上分别安装运行了beta版和发布版。第一套测试环境是我2007年产的Dell Inspiron 530S，搭载2.2GHz Intel奔腾 E2200双核处理器、4G内存、500GSATA串口硬盘，集成Intel 3100GMA显示芯片组。第二套测试环境是2008年入手的Gateway DX4710，搭载2.5GHz Intel酷睿2四核处理器，6G内存，1T串口硬盘，同样集成了Intel GMA 3100显卡。

|
||||
安装过程小菜一碟。首先说明一下，我并没有尝试在有Windows 8 Secure Boot锁定的系统上安装Ubuntu，如果你想尝试的话，这里有[如何安装Ubuntu与Win8双系统的教程][4]，如果是其他使用统一可扩展固件接口(Unified Extensible Firmware Interface - UEFI)的系统，也可以看下这个教程。
|
||||
|
||||
安装过程中有个出色的新特性，就是安装的同时你可以登录并打开[Ubuntu One][5]的云端服务账户。Ubuntu One是一款类似Dropbox的存储服务，提供5G免费空间，[商业版费用为39.95美刀][6]，提供20G空间和音乐流媒体支持。该服务除了完美集成在Ubuntu系统中，你也可以在Windows、Mac OS、Android和IOS系统中使用它。

|
||||
|
||||
首先，安装完成后，我注意到的第一件事是，在我这两台老电脑上，Ubuntu 13.10运行非常流畅，就像在顶级配置的电脑上运行一样。（译者表示，这样的配置竟然还叫老电脑，让译者的1G内存情何以堪，你们有考虑过老闪龙的感受吗！）如果你的机子比我的还老，跑Windows 7以上的系统都嫌慢，并且比较在意即将结束的XP官方支持，可以考虑一下Ubuntu，或者其他易于上手的Linux发行版，比如Mint。
|
||||
|
||||
再来看看核心部分。首先，“俏皮的蝾螈”运行[Linux 3.11 内核][7]。
|
||||
|
||||
在此基础上，再看看图形架构，本来大家预测的是Mir，但是PC上的Mir暂时还没有准备好迎来它的黄金时期。内有Ubuntu家族中诸如[Kubuntu][8]的反对，[外有Intel的抵制][9]，Mir需要同时面对“内忧外患”。

|
||||
|
||||
最后的结果就是13.10将仍然默认使用老旧的Xorg-server 1.4.3。如果你富有冒险精神，可以选择尝试一下Mir。如果你想要在智能手机上运行Ubuntu，也就是传说中的[Ubuntu Touch，恰好，你就可以用到Mir][10]。

|
||||
|
||||
对新用户来说，最值得一提的新特性将是[Smart Scopes][14](之前叫做Lens)。Lens最初被提出来的时候，其功能只是根据本地Unity Dash的搜索结果对Amazon的搜索结果进行整合。原本是作为默认功能的，但最终该特性被改为了可选。
|

在Ubuntu 13.10中，当你使用Unity Dash搜索时，不但可以使用Amazon，还可以选择Facebook、Google、Yelp以及其他多个在线Web页面。
|
||||
|
||||
它是如何工作的呢？当你在Unity Dash中输入一个搜索条目时，Ubuntu会尝试猜测最佳匹配项。例如，如果我搜索“最炫民族风”，它除了在我的电脑中搜索，还会在Web的音乐分类下进行搜索。

A Look Back at the Linux Kernel Backdoor
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
With all of the recent concern over the US government’s National Security Agency (NSA) some of the attention has turn to the possibility of backdoors. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a backdoor is an intentional vulnerability in an operating system or software that allows otherwise unauthorized users to gain access to the system. Back in 2003 someone attempted to insert a backdoor into the Linux kernel. Though caught, it illustrates how seemingly innocuous changes can introduce vulnerabilities and the importance of tractability in source control.
|
||||
|
||||
The code, first described by Corbet in an [LVN.Net article][1], was disguised to look like a parameter validation check in the [wait4][2] function.
|
||||
|
||||
if ((options == (__WCLONE|__WALL)) && (current->uid = 0))
|
||||
retval = -EINVAL;
|
||||
|
||||
Normally it would have no effect, but if the calling program intentionally passed in invalid values the second part of the if expression would execute. This part would set the program’s user id (current->uid) to 0, which is the root user in Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
At first glance it looks like a simple typo. Developers often accidentally write ‘=’ when they mean to write ‘==’. But when you consider that the wait4 function shouldn’t have anything to do with the user id it becomes clear that this was intentional.
|
||||
|
||||
Corbet explains how this caught,
|
||||
|
||||
> Every change in the CVS repository includes backlink information tying it to the equivalent BitKeeper changesets. The changes in question lacked that information, and thus stood out immediately.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> An attempt to make a change in this way is suspicious, to say the least, so there was a lot of interest in what the attempted change was.
|
||||
|
||||
The attack used to insert the backdoor was again the CVS clone of the BitKeeper repository. He continues,
|
||||
|
||||
> The CVS repository is generated from BitKeeper, it is not a path for patches to get into the BitKeeper repositories. So the code in question could only affect users who were working from the CVS repository. Kernels used by distributors probably do not come from that repository, and, as this incident has shown, illicit code can only remain there for so long before being detected.
|
||||
|
||||
Imagine, if you will, if someone tried this attack in a code base without the controls and scrutiny that the Linux kernel team employed. How would you protect yourself if a seemingly innocent line of code could be inserted anywhere and effectively create a backdoor?
|
||||
|
||||
One option would be to create your own “kernel” inside the application. Only this code could can changes flags such as the user’s roles and permissions. All other code only gets a read-only view of the user permission object so that they cannot easily give the user root access.
|
||||
|
||||
Under this model, the code “current->uid = 0” simply wouldn’t compile. Instead one would have to either directly alter the application’s security module, which would be watched much more closely, or resort to tricks using reflection. And reflection code would of course be far more noticeable than a simple assignment.
|
||||
|
||||
If the language supports it, an even better option is to make the user’s permission set entirely immutable. This would further constrain the places where a successful attack may reside to just where the permission set is created.
|
||||
|
||||
These should be augmented with restrictions on the source control server. Rather than running them wide open, the ability to promote code into main branches should restricted to as few people as possible. And security sensitive code should be entirely locked down by default, with edit permissions only granted on a case by case basis. The exact way this be implemented depends on whether one is using distributed or centralized source control and the specific product.
|
||||
|
||||
Ultimately techniques such as this will fail if code changes are not audited before they reach production. These can only reduce the likelihood such an audit will miss something.

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)

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 professional’s 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, netcat’s 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 user’s choice. The user can also choose to dump only a range of characters from each column’s 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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

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 **B’s** 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When that opens, click ‘**User Accounts**’ from the bottom of your screen as shown below
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You need administrative privileges to add user accounts to Ubuntu. If you do, click Unlock before adding accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, click the plus ( + ) button to create a user account.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 won’t 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. It’s ok to keep it but you can change it if you like. When you’re 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 doesn’t 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 that’s 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, you’re 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 there’s 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. It’s 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>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it. To verify a user group membership, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
id richard
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Disable Ubuntu Lock Screen
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
When you’re new to Ubuntu, there are some things you wouldn’t know right away. These like changing your password, disabling features and creating new user account. One thing that new users often ask about when testing out Ubuntu is how to turn off the lock screen or stop Ubuntu screen from going dark.
|
||||
|
||||
These are easy tips for newbies. For Ubuntu power users, these tips are nothing new but this tutorial is not for power users. This is for new Ubuntu users only.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu is designed to automatically lock itself after a few minutes automatically. You must always type your password to unlock it before using it again. If this is too much trouble for you, you may want to turn it off and this brief tutorial is going to show you how.
|
||||
|
||||
It is for security reason your computer locks itself. If you disable it or turn the feature off, your computer will never lock and anyone with physical access may be able to sign in and use it. If that doesn’t trouble you, then continue below to learn how.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, sign into Ubuntu and click the Control Option (the icon at the very right of the menu bar) icon and select **System Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next,click Brightness & Lock icon from the system settings panel
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, switch off the Lock Screen option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it! To re-enable it, go back the switch it back on. It is a great feature and protects you. If you know your privacy or information won’t be at risk, then you can disable it.

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Easiest Way To Access Your Files From Windows
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Whether you’re a new user or someone with deep knowledge working with Ubuntu and Windows, one thing that’s true is using Samba is the best way to share / access Ubuntu files from Windows. It’s 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.
|
||||
|
||||
We’re 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 we’re 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 you’re 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:
|

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, here’s 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, it’s my favorite web browser. I started with Internet Explorer, then moved to Firefox and I’ve 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 you’re 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
|
||||
|
||||
That’s 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 user’s 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 isn’t 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 you’re 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 can’t 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. You’ll 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, you’ll see the screen shot below giving you more information about your encrypted home folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To create future users with encrypted home directory, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
adduser –encrypt-home USERNAME
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Resize Ubuntu Unity Launcher
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Here’s another tip for users who are new to Ubuntu. This series aims to help new users to Ubuntu configure and manage their computer easily. It’s not geared towards Ubuntu power users or pros, rather users who are just starting with Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu launcher is a key part of Ubuntu Unity Desktop. The launcher is the vertical bar with icons that sits on the left hand side of your screen when you logon. It allows you to easily open or launch programs from your desktop. It also provides quick access to applications, workspaces, removable devices and the trash bin.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the launch size is set to 48 even for smaller screens. If you want to increase or decrease the size of the launcher, then continue below to learn how.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many reasons why you’d want to adjust Unity launcher. One good reason is to resize it to fit on smaller screens. If your screen is small and the default size isn’t suitable, then you may want to change it.
|
||||
|
||||
If the default size of the icons are too small and want to increase it, then adjust the launcher to increase the icons so they’re easy to click.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, click the gear button at the top right of the menu bar as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, select Appearance
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, use the slider to adjust (increase / decrease) the launcher icon size.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The changes should apply automatically. Remember, if you want to stick with the default, move it back to 48.
|
||||
|
||||
This is another Ubuntu tip for new users. Keep coming back for more tips on Ubuntu. If you’re power users and wish to contribute, please leave a comment below

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Restore Your Machine To A Previous State
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
When you compare Windows and Ubuntu, you’ll see that Windows has many advantages over Ubuntu and maybe Ubuntu has few over Windows as well. But one feature that stands out is the ability to restore your machine to a previous state. Windows has had this feature going back to Windows XP and worked great at times and can save your a lot of time when you need to fix issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu on the other hand don’t have it. You can’t just restore your machine to a previous state in Ubuntu. You may be able to restore individual files and folders but not the entire machine like what Windows does.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, thanks to [TimeShift][1], you may just be able to restore your entire Ubuntu machine to a previous state like Windows. TimeShift may not give you all the benefits that you get in Windows, but it’s a step closer.
|
||||
|
||||
TimeShift is a open source application that provides the same function as Windows Restore in Windows or Time Machine in Mac OS X. It takes snapshots of you system at scheduled time that can be restore in the event you need to undo changes that were made after a snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
To install TimeShift in Ubuntu, run the command below to add its PPA archive.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
|
||||
|
||||
Next, run the commands below to update your system as well as install TimeShift.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install timeshift
|
||||
|
||||
After installing it, go to Unity Dash and search for TimeShift. Next launch it and set your preferred settings. When it first launch it may take few minutes scanning your machine for available space and files to backup.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you like the default settings, you can keep. To perform immediate backup, click the Backup button at on the menu. You’ll use the same apps to restore your machine in the event you need to.
|
||||
|
||||
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 you’re new to Ubuntu, there are some things you won’t 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 wouldn’t be able to see them. If you open an application and can’t 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it! To go back to what it was, run the commands below
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Webcam Support In Ubuntu Via Cheese
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
For new users who are just starting with Ubuntu, here’s 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 don’t 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 Project’s [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 it’s 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, you’ll 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 can’t get your current webcam to work in Ubuntu, you may have to purchase a model that works.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips–Change The Logon Screen Background
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Here’s 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Restart your computer and enjoy your~

Daily Ubuntu Tips–Knowing About The Root Account
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
For new users who just starting with Ubuntu and wanting to know about the root account, here’s 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 it’s 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
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to lock / disable the root account, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo passwd -l root
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips–Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Many users from Windows find themselves stuck when starting out with Ubuntu. It’s 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, we’re here to help.

Excellent Music Player Clementine 1.2 Released on Multiple Platforms
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Clementine 1.2, a multiplatform music player inspired by Amarok 1.4, focusing on a fast and easy-to-use interface for searching and playing your music, has been released and it features some pretty interesting new features.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Clementine is an excellent media player, and it has been adopted in a lot of new distributions. It's extremely stable and it's made for people who don't actually like the new direction taken by the current generation of music players.
|
||||
|
||||
“This release is compatible with the Clementine Remote application for Android which lets you control Clementine remotely from an Android device.”
|
||||
|
||||
“Clementine also adds support for Subsonic. And you can now listen to your music stored in Box, Dropbox, Skydrive and Ubuntu One. Last major new feature is the ability to "star" your playlists, so you can safely close them and restore them later from the new "Playlist" tab we've added in the left sidebar,” reads the [announcement][1].
|
||||
|
||||
A complete list of changes and new features can be found in the official [announcement][2].

FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1 Available for Download and Testing
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1, an operating system for x86, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98, and UltraSPARC architectures, has been released and it's now available for download and testing.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The FreeBSD developers are moving with an incredible speed and are releasing one version after another. The new Beta has arrived after no less than five Alpha versions, but not without any problems.
|
||||
|
||||
“Due to a last minute problem found in the 10.0-BETA1 freebsd-update(8) builds, freebsd-update(8) is NOT supported for 10.0-BETA1 upgrades. Please do not use freebsd-update(8) to upgrade to 10.0-BETA1. Please be aware that cvsup and CVS are not supported methods of updating the src/ tree,” reads the official [announcement][1].
|
||||
|
||||
Also, according to the developers, the ports.txz distribution hasn't been included in the 10.0 Beta 1 release, however, it is expected to be included with disc1.iso for subsequent builds during the release cycle.
|
||||
|
||||
Highlights of FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1:
|
||||
|
||||
- freebsd-version, which is intended to be used as an auditing tool, has been implemented. This is a very important tool if you want to determine the userland patch level when it differs from what 'uname -r' reports;
|
||||
- The ZFS lzjb decompress performance has been improved;
|
||||
- Two new MIPS CPU families, mips24k and mips74k, have been added;
|
||||
- The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked, so the new jail.conf(5) syntax is used;
|
||||
- Most of the ATF tools and the _atf user have been removed;
|
||||
|
||||
Users have been encouraged to test the distribution and report any problems they find. The official [changelog][1] comes with a complete list of fixes and modifications. Download FreeBSD 10.0 Beta 1 right now from Softpedia.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that this is a development release and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended to be used for testing purposes only.

GNOME Software 3.10.1 Fixes Bugs and Adds New Features
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**The GNOME Project has announced last evening, October 14, that the first maintenance release for the recently introduced GNOME Software application for the GNOME 3.10 desktop environment is available for download/upgrade.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME Software 3.10.1 is a maintenance release that mostly fixes bugs reported by users who had the chance to test this new application, which was originally introduced with the release of the GNOME 3.10 desktop environment.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the new release of GNOME Software also introduces some new features, among which we can mention a loading icon for empty tiles, support for the new 16:9 screenshots format, support for per-repo icon directories, support the 'X-AppInstall-Package' extension in desktop files, and the IBus frameworks installed by default are marked as system apps.
|
||||
|
||||
The hardcoded ratings and screenshot plugins were removed from this version of GNOME Software, with the mention that they will not be available until the release of the GNOME 3.12 desktop environment, next year.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the bugs fixed in GNOME Software 3.10.1, we can mention re-implementation of the hover state to feature tile, strings in the AppData file are now translatable, memory corruption is now prevented when doing dedupe() more than once, notify::state is no longer transmitted from a thread, and the "Remove" option is now displayed for installed apps that are updatable.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, a critical error has been fixed in gs_string_replace(), some small memory leaks were fixed, a refcounting error, which could cause a crash, has been fixed, the application widget will no longer be removed twice when it changes state, and local applications have names, icons and comments.
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least, the following translations have been updated in this release: Indonesian, Latvian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Slovenian, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese. More details can be found in the official raw [changelog][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].

How to Test Your Internet Speed with a Terminal Command
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You probably know about the internet [speed tests][1] that can be performed from your browser. However, Make Tech Easier shows us that you can do the same thing right from a terminal window—perfect for your Raspberry Pi or home server.
|
||||
|
||||
Just open a terminal and run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com/downloads/test10.zip
|
||||
|
||||
The test basically downloads a 10MB file using the [wget][2] command to pull a file from a remote server. The speed is displayed in the terminal when the file download has completed, so you know how fast your connection is running.
|
||||
|
||||
Any Linux PC can perform the wget command out of the box. [Windows][3] and [Mac][4] users will need to download the program, but it still functions more or less the same. Hit the link to read more.

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. That’s 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 it’s done, restart your computer and begin enjoying your machine.

KDE vs GNOME: Settings, Apps, Widgets
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to desktop environments, choosing the one that's right for you can be a deeply personal matter. In this article, I'll look into the differences between two of the most popular Linux desktop environments – Gnome and KDE. I’ll explore what each desktop environment offers, comparing their strengths and weaknesses.
|
||||
|
||||
###Initial impressions
|
||||
|
||||
Upon first encountering the desktop, one can argue that KDE looks more polished than Gnome, and offers a more tech-friendly appearance. Additionally, if you are used to a Windows environment, KDE will feel much more familiar, thanks to the menu and button layout at the bottom of your screen. You can easily locate the K menu, launch programs and find documents with just a few clicks of your mouse.
|
||||
|
||||
Another important and familiar benefit with KDE is the easy to use minimize and close buttons with each open document, picture or application. To someone coming from another platform, features this basic might be taken for granted. But considering desktops like Gnome don't offer a true minimize option any longer, it's worth giving KDE props here.
|
||||
|
||||
Loading up Gnome 3 for the first time, the desktop might be perceived as a very alien experience if you're coming from another platform. Like classic Gnome, your access to docs and tools are not located at the bottom of your screen. Even stranger for some newbies, the method for closing open windows is – to be kind – "different." In defense of Gnome 3, however, I've found it to be quite a pleasant experience once you get used to this new way of doing things. And the new users I know who have tested Gnome 3 generally felt the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
###Widgets and extensions
|
||||
|
||||
The divide between the two desktop environments continues to broaden as we dive into the extensions and widgets provided for Gnome and KDE. While both desktops provide additions you can run to further enhance your desktop experience, the lines between them become different in how the desktops handle extended functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
KDE takes an interesting approach in that you can group widgets into what are called "Activities." The idea is you can have one Activity with a set number of desktop widgets, that help with specific work-flows.
|
||||
|
||||
By contrast, Gnome defines activities with a different approach. Instead of being widget-centric, Gnome makes its Activities more task- and application-based. For example, if I was using multiple apps, switching to the Gnome Activities overview allows you to gain a visualization and immediate access to each task.
|
||||
|
||||
###Settings for your desktop
|
||||
|
||||
While Gnome has gotten better about providing adequate settings controls from a GUI, KDE remains the reigning king in this space.
|
||||
|
||||
With KDE, you can find settings to control nearly every aspect of your desktop experience. Some Linux distributions, such as [OpenSUSE][1], go ever further by tightly integrating their own tools ([YaST][2]) into the KDE settings experience.
|
||||
|
||||
With the updates to the Gnome desktop since Gnome 3, I've found the biggest areas where I see KDE offering greater functionality is with ease of access to settings. Gnome tends to put application specific settings into an easy to find area of each application.
|
||||
|
||||
But KDE tends to offer greater granular control with their applications. One of my favorite examples is [Kontact][3] vs [Evolution][4]. Both are powerful PIMs for Gnome and KDE. But the difference is that Kontact is a suite of applications bundled with a suite of controls for each app, while Evolution is a single application with limited control. The same can be said of [AmaroK][5] vs [Rhythmbox][6], among other desktop-specific titles.
|
||||
|
||||
###File management
|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to finding the right file manager for your desktop, both Gnome and KDE do the work for you by providing their own defaults. [Nautilus][7] is the default file manager for Gnome where KDE, offers up [Dolphin][8] as its main offering.
|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to desktop environments, choosing the one that's right for you can be a deeply personal matter. In this article, I'll look into the differences between two of the most popular Linux desktop environments – Gnome and KDE. I’ll explore what each desktop environment offers, comparing their strengths and weaknesses.
|
||||
|
||||
###Initial impressions
|
||||
|
||||
Upon first encountering the desktop, one can argue that KDE looks more polished than Gnome, and offers a more tech-friendly appearance. Additionally, if you are used to a Windows environment, KDE will feel much more familiar, thanks to the menu and button layout at the bottom of your screen. You can easily locate the K menu, launch programs and find documents with just a few clicks of your mouse.
|
||||
|
||||
Another important and familiar benefit with KDE is the easy to use minimize and close buttons with each open document, picture or application. To someone coming from another platform, features this basic might be taken for granted. But considering desktops like Gnome don't offer a true minimize option any longer, it's worth giving KDE props here.
|
||||
|
||||
Loading up Gnome 3 for the first time, the desktop might be perceived as a very alien experience if you're coming from another platform. Like classic Gnome, your access to docs and tools are not located at the bottom of your screen. Even stranger for some newbies, the method for closing open windows is – to be kind – "different." In defense of Gnome 3, however, I've found it to be quite a pleasant experience once you get used to this new way of doing things. And the new users I know who have tested Gnome 3 generally felt the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
Widgets and extensions
|
||||
|
||||
The divide between the two desktop environments continues to broaden as we dive into the extensions and widgets provided for Gnome and KDE. While both desktops provide additions you can run to further enhance your desktop experience, the lines between them become different in how the desktops handle extended functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
KDE takes an interesting approach in that you can group widgets into what are called "Activities." The idea is you can have one Activity with a set number of desktop widgets, that help with specific work-flows.
|
||||
|
||||
By contrast, Gnome defines activities with a different approach. Instead of being widget-centric, Gnome makes its Activities more task- and application-based. For example, if I was using multiple apps, switching to the Gnome Activities overview allows you to gain a visualization and immediate access to each task.
|
||||
|
||||
Settings for your desktop
|
||||
|
||||
While Gnome has gotten better about providing adequate settings controls from a GUI, KDE remains the reigning king in this space.
|
||||
|
||||
With KDE, you can find settings to control nearly every aspect of your desktop experience. Some Linux distributions, such as OpenSUSE, go ever further by tightly integrating their own tools (YaST) into the KDE settings experience.
|
||||
|
||||
With the updates to the Gnome desktop since Gnome 3, I've found the biggest areas where I see KDE offering greater functionality is with ease of access to settings. Gnome tends to put application specific settings into an easy to find area of each application.
|
||||
|
||||
But KDE tends to offer greater granular control with their applications. One of my favorite examples is Kontact vs Evolution. Both are powerful PIMs for Gnome and KDE. But the difference is that Kontact is a suite of applications bundled with a suite of controls for each app, while Evolution is a single application with limited control. The same can be said of AmaroK vs Rhythmbox, among other desktop-specific titles.
|
||||
|
||||
File management
|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to finding the right file manager for your desktop, both Gnome and KDE do the work for you by providing their own defaults. Nautilus is the default file manager for Gnome where KDE, offers up Dolphin as its main offering.
|
||||
|
||||
Out of the box, I've found Nautilus offers Gnome users a polished, easy to use file management tool that won't overwhelm new Linux users. Flashing over to KDE, however, Dolphin is a highly configurable and not newbie friendly file management solution for those who want tons of control.
|
||||
|
||||
Simply looking at the sidebar for each file manager, you'll notice that Nautilus offers up the most straight forward approach to navigation. KDE's Dolphin, however, goes further with features like dates for files last used, and other related options.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're an advanced Linux user, you'll likely find yourself gravitating to Dolphin as it offers the most options and control. For those of us who simply want to navigate files without tons of "stuff", Nautilus wins in terms of simplicity.
|
||||
|
||||
###Desktop applications
|
||||
|
||||
One area that causes some disagreement among Linux enthusiasts is the claim that one desktop offers better default applications than the other. That said, this is certainly the case with Gnome vs KDE.
|
||||
|
||||
My findings in this area are that in many areas, Gnome wins without even trying that hard. For example: GIMP, Evince, and Pidgin are all applications that are simply less of a headache to rely on than their KDE counterparts. Kmail is another app that, in my opinion, gives new KDE users a bad taste in their mouths. Apps like this are overly complex and in general, abysmal to use.
|
||||
|
||||
On the flip side, there are some worthwhile exceptions in favor of KDE. [Calligra][9] vs [AbiWord][10] is an easy win for KDE, since [LibreOffice][11] isn't "truly" a Gnome specific option. Just because it's often the default suite for many Linux distributions doesn't make it the desktop environment default.
|
||||
|
||||
In the end, one of the wonders of Linux is that you can install GTK or Qt libraries and enjoy the benefits of the apps that best meet with your needs. For myself, I've found the Gnome application defaults to be the clear winner in most instances.
|
||||
|
||||
Final thoughts
|
||||
|
||||
If I ever found myself trapped on an island with only one desktop environment made available to me, it'd have to be Gnome. Even though I enjoy some aspects of KDE more than Gnome, overall I find Gnome is less work to keep up. Too often I’ve found KDE experiencing a messed up configuration or, worse: weird alerts claiming my sound card has disappeared. Under Gnome, I experience none of these problems.
|
||||
|
||||
Because I value my time and my sanity, I'll continue to recommend Gnome over KDE; while suggesting some KDE apps when appropriate. To anyone who claims that KDE is easier to use – I'd like to point out that for me, simply learning Gnome's approach to doing things has offered me greater stability in the long run.

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.

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.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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]. It’s probably the most known tool for managing your passwords, and since it’s based on the web, it’s 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 I’m going to talk about in a minute, it doesn’t provide official Linux packages, and the community ports, while serviceable, aren’t 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, you’ll 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 — you’ll be typing it in a lot, but on the other hand you don’t 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, they’ll 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 you’re **really** worried about your passwords, you probably won’t 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.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s important to note that some websites don’t always tell you how long a password they’ll accept, and opt to just put a limit on the input box. If your pasted in password doesn’t quite look long enough, it probably isn’t. It’s happened to me a few times.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*KeePassX password generator*
|
||||
|
||||
n my everyday usage of KeePassX, I’ve 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 don’t 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, don’t set the password to the cloud service to something completely random. It’s no good having the password to it saved inside the cloud if you can’t access the cloud. It might seem obvious, but it’s 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 you’ve looked into KeePass 2 and KeePassX previously, you might’ve 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].
|
||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
*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.

Mastering the “Kill” Command in Linux
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
It doesn’t matter which operating system you are using, you will surely come across a misbehaving application that lock itself up and refuse to close. In Linux (and Mac), there is this “kill” command that you can use to terminate the application forcefully. In this tutorial, we will show you the various way you can make use of the “kill” command to terminate an application.
|
||||
|
||||
**Kill Commands and Signals**
|
||||
|
||||
When you execute a “kill” command, you are in fact sending a signal to the system to instruct it to terminate the misbehaving app. There is a total of 60 signals that you can use, but all you really need to know is SIGTERM (15) and SIGKILL (9).
|
||||
|
||||
You can view all the signals with the command:
|
||||
|
||||
kill -l
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- SIGTERM – This signal requests a process to stop running. This signal can be ignored. The process is given time to gracefully shutdown. When a program gracefully shuts down, that means it is given time to save its progress and release resources. In other words, it is not forced to stop.
|
||||
- SIGKILL – The SIGKILL signal forces the process to stop executing immediately. The program cannot ignore this signal. Unsaved progress will be lost.
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax for using “kill” is:
|
||||
|
||||
kill [signal or option] PID(s)
|
||||
|
||||
The default signal (when none is specified) is SIGTERM. When that doesn’t work, you can use the following to kill a process forcefully:
|
||||
|
||||
kill SIGKILL PID
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
kill -9 PID
|
||||
|
||||
where the “-9” flag refers to SIGKILL signal.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not aware of the PID of the application, simply run the command:
|
||||
|
||||
ps ux
|
||||
|
||||
and it will display all the running applications together with its PID.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to kill the Chrome app, I will run the command:
|
||||
|
||||
kill -9 3629
|
||||
|
||||
Do also note that you can kill multiple processes at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
kill -9 PID1 PID2 PID 3
|
||||
|
||||
**PKill**
|
||||
|
||||
The “pkill” command allows the use of extended regular expression patterns and other matching criteria. Instead of using PID, you can now kill application by entering their process name. For example, to kill Firefox browser, just run the command:
|
||||
|
||||
pkill firefox
|
||||
|
||||
As it matches regular expression pattern, you can also enter partial name of the process, such as:
|
||||
|
||||
pkill fire
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid killing the wrong processes, you might want to do a “pgrep -l [process name]” to list the matching processes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Killall**
|
||||
|
||||
Killall uses the process name as well instead of PID, and it kills all instance of the process with the same name. For example, if you are running multiple instances of Firefox browser, you can kill them all with the command:
|
||||
|
||||
killall firefox
|
||||
|
||||
In Gnome, you can restart Nautilus by using the command:
|
||||
|
||||
killall nautilus
|
||||
|
||||
**xkill**
|
||||
|
||||
Xkill is a graphical way to kill an application. When you type “xkill” in the terminal, your mouse cursor will instantly become a “cross”. All you have to do is to click the “cross” at the misbehaving app and it will kill the application instantly. If you are keen, you can also add a [keyboard shortcut to activate the xkill][1] function.
|
||||
|
||||
**Conclusion**
|
||||
|
||||
When apps misbehave and cause the system to hang, it is very tempting to restart the computer and start the session all over again. With these “kill” commands, you will be able to better manage the misbehaving apps without them causing the system to crash. This is especially useful for a server when you don’t want a misbehaving process to bring the whole server down.

Metal Backup and Recovery Is Now Possible with Debian-Based Clonezilla Live 2.2.0-13
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Clonezilla Live 2.2.0-13, a Linux distribution based on DRBL, Partclone, and udpcast that allows users to do bare metal backup and recovery, is now available for testing.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[Clonezilla Live 2.2.0-13][1] is a new development version for this distribution and the developers have chosen to move a little faster with the numbering systems. There are no major differences, but some packages have been updated.
|
||||
|
||||
“The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2013/Oct/14). Package drbl has been updated to 2.5.12-drbl1, and clonezilla has been updated to 3.7.15-drbl1,” reads the announcement.
|
||||
|
||||
The developers also integrated Samba 4.0.10, which isn't exactly the last stable one released, but it's still recently new.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.

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.

Raspberry Pi: the Perfect Home Server
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ever since the announcement of the Raspberry Pi, sites all across the Internet have offered lots of interesting and challenging uses for this exciting device. Although all of those ideas are great, the most obvious and perhaps least glamorous use for the Raspberry Pi (**RPi**) is creating your perfect home server.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've got several different computers in need of a consistent and automated backup strategy, the RPi can do that. If you have music and video you'd like to be able to access from almost any screen in the house, the RPi can make that happen too. Maybe you have a printer or two you'd like to share with everyone easily? The Raspberry Pi can fill all those needs with a minimal investment in hardware and time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Raspberry Pi Benefits**
|
||||
|
||||
Low cost: for $35, the RPi model B is nearly a complete computer with 512MB of RAM, 100Mb Ethernet, an SD card slot, two USB ports, audio out and HDMI or RCA video out. I've seen HDMI cables that cost more than that.
|
||||
|
||||
Energy efficient: hardware costs are only one component of a server's expense, because you also need to consider the energy cost to keep the device running constantly. The services needed for home use aren't going to tax the CPU much, and most of the time it will just be idling, waiting for something to do. The RPi's ultra-low power components are a perfect fit for this workload, which helps keep your power bill down. My model B unit plus external hard drive consume only 8 watts total, while the old Athlon-based box it replaced drew 54 watts at idle. Assuming 10 cents per kilowatt hour, that puts the yearly power bill for an RPi at $7 vs. $47 for an Athlon-based machine. The RPi basically pays for itself in less than a year!
|
||||
|
||||
Low noise: because the RPi doesn't have fans or moving parts, the only component in your final configuration that generates noise or any appreciable heat will be the hard disk. If you're concerned about noise, enthusiast sites like [Silent PC Review][1] often include noise benchmarks in their storage reviews. My experience is that any modern drive is quiet enough to avoid detection anywhere there's something else already running (such as a media center, gaming console or other computer). If your home doesn't provide a lot of flexibility for wiring options, the RPi's small size, minimal thermal output and low-noise footprint may make it possible to sneak in a server where it was difficult to justify one in the past.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 1. A Compact, but Highly Capable Home Server
|
||||
|
||||
New opportunities: a less tangible benefit is the simple joy of trying something new! For me, this was my first time really working on a Debian-based distribution, and it's probably the first time many Linux enthusiasts will have a chance to try an ARM-based architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
**Arranging the Hardware**
|
||||
|
||||
For a home server, you'll need a medium-size SD Flash card for local storage. It's possible to use a USB thumbdrive for booting, but that would use up one of the two precious USB slots. The Flash storage card doesn't need to be large, but the faster the better. I chose a name-brand SD card with an 8GB capacity and class 10 speed rating. For backups and multimedia files, a large hard drive with a USB dock is a must. I chose a 1.5TB hard drive and a Calvary EN-CAHDD-D 2-bay USB 2.0 hard drive dock. This dock has a feature to run two drives in RAID-0 mode, which could be useful someday. Finally, the RPi doesn't come with a power supply, but most smartphone chargers supply the required 5v-over-micro USB. To see if the RPi was fussy about the power source, I swapped through three different micro-USB cell-phone chargers for power supplies. I tried each one for about a week, with no issues on any of the units.
|
||||
|
||||
**Installing the Operating System**
|
||||
|
||||
Installing the RPi operating system is covered in extensive detail elsewhere, but here are a few home-server-specific tips, roughly in the order needed.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Get the Raspbian "Wheezy" install image directly from [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads][2], and copy it onto the SD card, using the steps listed on the site.
|
||||
|
||||
2) When booting the RPi for the first time, attach a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Don't forget to turn on the monitor before booting the RPi, so that it can detect the correct HDMI or composite output port.
|
||||
|
||||
3) The RPi has a nice "raspi-config" screen that you'll see on first boot. For a home server, the following selections will be useful:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- expand_rootfs: resizes the default 2GB OS image to fill the rest of the Flash card.
|
||||
- change_pass: the default password is "raspberry", but something more secure than that would be better.
|
||||
- Set your locale and timezone.
|
||||
- memory_split: assign the minimum amount possible (16) to the GPU to leave as much room as possible for services.
|
||||
- SSH: don't forget to enable the SSH server.
|
||||
- boot_behaviour: turn off boot to desktop (again, to save memory for your services).
|
||||
|
||||
When finished, you'll be at the `pi@raspberrypi` prompt. The setup script can be re-run at any time via `sudo raspi-config`.
|
||||
|
||||
There are just a few more configuration items, and then the operating system is ready to go.
|
||||
|
||||
1) A static IP makes everything easier, so switch the network settings for eth0:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces
|
||||
|
||||
change the eth0 line `iface eth0 inet dhcp` to the following (modify to meet your home network setup):
|
||||
|
||||
======/etc/network/interfaces======
|
||||
...
|
||||
iface eth0 inet static
|
||||
address 192.168.1.10
|
||||
netmask 255.255.255.0
|
||||
gateway 192.168.1.1
|
||||
...
|
||||
======/etc/network/interfaces======
|
||||
|
||||
2) Create a local user, and put it in the users and sudo group:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo adduser YOURUSERIDHERE
|
||||
>> sudo usermod -a -G users YOURUSERIDHERE
|
||||
>> sudo usermod -a -G sudo YOURUSERIDHERE
|
||||
|
||||
3) Update the system to ensure that it has the latest and greatest copies of all the libraries:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
4) At this point, you're ready to go headless! Shut down the PI:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
|
||||
|
||||
Once it's down (monitor the green status LEDs on the RPi circuit board to know when it has finished shutting down), unplug the monitor, keyboard, mouse and power cord. Attach the USB storage, then restart the RPi by plugging the power back in.
|
||||
|
||||
5) Once the RPi starts up (again, those green LEDs are the clue to its state), you can ssh in to the RPi from any other machine on the network and finish all the configuration remotely from here on out (modify the following for your static IP):
|
||||
|
||||
`>> ssh YOURUSERIDHERE@192.168.1.10`
|
||||
|
||||
Congratulations, you have a working Raspberry Pi!
|
||||
|
||||
**Peripherals**
|
||||
|
||||
The first order of business is to get the external storage device mounted. Use dmesg to look for where the storage device was found—it almost certainly will be /dev/sda. I like using automounter to handle mounting removable storage devices, as it is more flexible about handing devices that may not be present or ready at boot time:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo apt-get install autofs
|
||||
>> sudo nano -w /etc/auto.master
|
||||
======/etc/auto.master======
|
||||
...
|
||||
/misc /etc/auto.misc
|
||||
...
|
||||
======/etc/auto.master======
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo nano -w /etc/auto.misc
|
||||
|
||||
Note, my external storage device is formatted with ext4—modify this for your needs if required:
|
||||
|
||||
======/etc/auto.misc======
|
||||
...
|
||||
storage -fstype=ext4:/dev/sda1
|
||||
...
|
||||
======/etc/auto.misc======
|
||||
>> sudo /etc/init.d/autofs restart
|
||||
>> ls -lat /misc/storage
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, create a symlink to shorten the path a smidgen:
|
||||
|
||||
>> ln -s /misc/storage /storage
|
||||
|
||||
**Backup Repository**
|
||||
|
||||
At the top of any home server feature list is providing rock-solid backups. With the RPi, this is pretty simple, due to the wide range of network-sharing options in Linux: Samba/CIFS for Windows machines, NFS for UNIX-based devices and even SFTP for more advanced backup clients like deja-dup. Because the RPi has only 100Mb Ethernet, and the storage device is on USB, it's not going to have super-fast transfer speeds. On the other hand, good backup clients run automatically and in the background, so it's unlikely that you'll notice the slightly slower transfer speeds.
|
||||
|
||||
My home network includes one Windows 7 machine. For it, I exported a backup directory on the RPi's external USB storage device via Samba. Because the backup utility in the basic version of Windows 7 doesn't support network drives as a backup destination, I used [SyncBack Free][3] to set up automated, daily backups.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring Samba is simple.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Install the samba and common-bin library (which has the smbpasswd utility):
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin
|
||||
|
||||
2) Use `smbpasswd` to let your local ID have access:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo smbpasswd -a YOURUSERIDHERE
|
||||
|
||||
3) Edit the samba configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo nano -w /etc/samba/smb.conf
|
||||
|
||||
4) Change the `workgroup = WORKGROUP` line to match your Windows workgroup name.
|
||||
|
||||
5) Comment out or delete the [homes] and [printers] share. (Printer sharing will be done later via direct CUPS access.)
|
||||
|
||||
6) Add an entry for the Windows backup paths. Here's my example, which I placed at the bottom of the file:
|
||||
|
||||
======/etc/samba/smb.conf======
|
||||
...
|
||||
[win7pc]
|
||||
comment=Backup for windows PC
|
||||
path=/storage/win7pc
|
||||
writeable=Yes
|
||||
create mask=0777
|
||||
directory mask=0777
|
||||
browsable=Yes
|
||||
public=Yes
|
||||
valid users=YOURUSERIDHERE
|
||||
...
|
||||
======/etc/samba/smb.conf======
|
||||
|
||||
7) Restart Samba to implement your edits:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
|
||||
|
||||
8) Test connectivity from the Windows machine by mapping a network drive from the file explorer.
|
||||
|
||||
For Linux devices, deja-dup is brilliantly simple to set up and use. It's been installed by default on both my Fedora 18 and Ubuntu 12.10 installs. While the package name is "deja-dup", the front end is simply called "Backup". Although the RPi easily could support NFS export, I've found that using deja-dup's SSH option is easier and more portable, and it eliminates the need for an additional service on the RPi. Specifying a deja-dup encryption password is probably a good idea, unless you like the idea of all your files walking off if someone pockets the storage drive:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo mkdir /storage/linuxlaptop
|
||||
>> sudo chown -R YOURUSERIDHERE:YOURUSERIDHERE /storage/linuxlaptop
|
||||
|
||||
From the client Linux machine, launch the backup utility, choose "SSH" as the backup location, and enter the RPi's IP address and the storage location you just created. The first backup will be slow, but future runs will be sending only incremental changes, which is significantly faster.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 2. Deja-dup Client Setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Multimedia Server: DLNA**
|
||||
|
||||
Now that everyone's files are backed up safely, let's move on to some fun! A DLNA server will give you a central place to store your movies, music and pictures. From this central repository, DLNA clients from every screen in the house can play back this content with ease.
|
||||
|
||||
At least, that's the promise. The reality is that the DNLA specs don't quite nail down many important things like which formats or encodings are supported. Each client typically has a slightly different idea of what formats and server features it would like to support. A much higher-power server might be able to transcode local content to device-supported formats on the fly, but that's not possible on the RPi, and the on-the-fly transcoding often messes up other features like pause, fast-forward and rewind. In general, higher-powered devices like the PS3, Xbox and WD TV devices can handle most formats without any transcoding. Lower-end devices like smart TVs or Blu-ray players support a much more limited list of codecs.
|
||||
|
||||
For the RPi, your best bet is simply to encode to the standards your primary DLNA device supports and then test your other DLNA clients. If they won't play nicely, the tips in the next section may help. In my case, my PlayStation 3 acts as the DLNA client, which plays nicely with the compact .m4v files generated by Handbrake.
|
||||
|
||||
Minidlna is a great choice for the RPi DLNA server. It's already in the Raspbian distribution, is quite simple to set up and uses minimal server resources while running:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo apt-get install minidlna
|
||||
>> sudo nano -w /etc/minidlna.conf
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the relevant sections of my /etc/minidlna.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
# I found keeping video + audio in different paths helpful
|
||||
media_dir=V,/storage/dlna/video
|
||||
media_dir=A,/storage/dlna/music
|
||||
...
|
||||
presentation_url=http://192.168.1.10:8200/
|
||||
...
|
||||
friendly_name=MyRPi
|
||||
...
|
||||
# Since I add new media infrequently, turning off
|
||||
# inotify keeps minidlna for polling for
|
||||
# content changes. It's simple enough to run
|
||||
# sudo /etc/init.d/minidlna force-reload
|
||||
# when new content is added.
|
||||
inotify=no
|
||||
|
||||
Once done editing, tell minidlna to restart and rescan for content:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo /etc/init.d/minidlna force-reload
|
||||
|
||||
Minidlna has the ability to provide movie-poster thumbnails for your movies for devices that support it (like the PS3). It makes finding a specific movie when scrolling through dozens of movie files much more convenient. I've found that the most compatible file layout is to have one directory per movie, containing just the movie file plus the thumbnail image named "Cover.jpg". Using a format like "MovieName.m4v" and "MovieName.jpg" works fine for the PS3, but it breaks VLC (if you can convince the VLC uPNP plugin to find the server in the first place).
|
||||
|
||||
From the PS3, you can test connectivity by going to "Video" on the XMB bar. The "friendly_name" you set previously should be visible when scrolling down in the Video section. If you cant find it, test to ensure that Minidlna is up by going to http://192.168.1.10:8200/ with a Web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
**Multimedia for Non-DLNA Devices**
|
||||
|
||||
Once you get DNLA working with some of your devices, you may find devices it doesn't want to work with, so a multimedia plan B is a good idea. The nginx Web server has an MP4 plugin that tries to improve streaming over plain-old HTTP, but browser playback performance varied widely, and fast-forwarding within a movie didn't work consistently either. It seems like the lowest common denominator for multimedia sharing across fussy or non-DLNA devices is a good-old-fashioned Samba share with guest read-only access.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an sample section from /etc/samba/smb.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
[dlna]
|
||||
path=/storage/dlna
|
||||
read only=yes
|
||||
browsable=yes
|
||||
public=yes
|
||||
|
||||
After defining the share and restarting Samba (`sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart`), you can start to test out your clients.
|
||||
|
||||
I tested the following clients with a mix of videos encoded with Handbrake as m4v files:
|
||||
|
||||
- Android 4.0.4 phone: "ES File Explorer" with "ES Media Player" (player comes with install).
|
||||
- Android 4.1.2 tablet: "ES File Explorer" with "ES Media Player" (player comes with install).
|
||||
- Linux devices: automount ://192.168.1.10/dlna, then use VLC or MPlayer.
|
||||
- Windows: mount //192.168.1.10:/dlna, then use VLC.
|
||||
|
||||
All devices were able to start playing almost instantly and fast-forward with no delays.
|
||||
|
||||
**Print Server**
|
||||
|
||||
The RPi runs CUPS quite well, so it's easy to share an older printer that doesn't have native networking features.
|
||||
|
||||
Install CUPS and any packages needed by your printer. I needed hplip-cups since I have an HP inkjet printer:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo apt-get install cups hplip-cups
|
||||
|
||||
Update the "Listen" line and add the `Allow @LOCAL` block to the Location directives as shown below (so you can use other machines on your LAN to administer CUPS):
|
||||
|
||||
======/etc/cups/cupsd.conf======
|
||||
#Listen localhost:631 #Comment this out
|
||||
Listen 192.168.1.10:631 #Add this line
|
||||
...
|
||||
<Location />
|
||||
Order allow,deny
|
||||
Allow @LOCAL
|
||||
</Location>
|
||||
|
||||
# Restrict access to the admin pages...
|
||||
<Location /admin>
|
||||
Order allow,deny
|
||||
Allow @LOCAL
|
||||
</Location>
|
||||
|
||||
# Restrict access to configuration files...
|
||||
<Location /admin/conf>
|
||||
AuthType Default
|
||||
Require user @SYSTEM
|
||||
Order allow,deny
|
||||
Allow @LOCAL
|
||||
</Location>
|
||||
======/etc/cups/cupsd.conf======
|
||||
|
||||
Add your local ID to the lpadmin group so you can administer CUPS:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin YOURUSERIDHERE
|
||||
|
||||
Restart CUPS:
|
||||
|
||||
>> sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
|
||||
|
||||
Then, go to http://192.168.1.10:631/ and click "Adding Printers and Classes" to set up your printer. My printer was auto-discovered on the USB, so all I had do to was click "share". Also access https://192.168.1.10:631/admin, and make sure to check "Share printers connected to this system".
|
||||
|
||||
Once you're done, you can set up your clients the usual way. My Linux clients auto-discovered the printer and picked the right printer drivers once I entered the hostname. On my Windows 7 machine, once I selected "Network Printer", I had to click "The printer that I want isn't listed", select "Select a shared printer by name" and then enter the URL from the CUPS Web interface: http://192.168.1.10:631/printers/HP_J4500.
|
||||
|
||||
**Conclusion**
|
||||
|
||||
With a minimal amount of additional hardware and configuration, the Raspberry Pi can be a highly capable, compact home server. It can bring the wide range of enterprise services offered by Linux into a home environment with minimal hardware expense.

Salvation Prophecy Military Space Epic Arrives on Steam for Linux
|
||||
===
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**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].

|
||||
**Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander** will be released on coming **October 17th** with many new salient features, updates and significant performance improvements. In this brief how-to let us discuss how we can enhance Ubuntu 13.10 further for day to day activities. This post we will share some interesting insight and ideas about what you can and should do after a successful installation.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have already a previous release of Ubuntu, and want to upgrade to the latest 13.10 version, then please follow our step by step guide [upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander][1].
|
||||
|

||||
|
||||
**A. If sound is working, if not, [check our previous post to resolve the issue][2].
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Update System ##
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Ubuntu Tweak ##
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu Tweak** is a must have application for Ubuntu and it’s derivatives. It is an application to config Ubuntu easier for everyone. It provides many useful desktop and system options that the default desktop environment doesn’t provide. Using Ubuntu Tweak you can install all needed applications with a simple click, you can change the window buttons from Left to right…etc.
|
||||
|
||||
**Read our [Interview with Ding Zhou of Ubuntu Tweak][4].**
|
||||
|
||||
**Install Ubuntu Tweak via PPA**
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Ubuntu-Tweak Stable PPA is not ready yet. But there is an another PPA is available to install Ubutun-Tweak from the team.
|
||||
|
||||
Open terminal and enter the following commands:

||||
|
||||
Most of the applications listed in this post, can be installed from Ubuntu Tweak Center with one click.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Desktop Environments ##
|
||||
|
||||
**Don’t like Unity in Ubuntu 13.10, why don’t you give a try to Cinnamon or Gnome?**
|
||||
|
||||
Cinnamon is a GNOME 3 fork that allow you to have a panel at the bottom with a classic Menu, this is useful for people that want to use Ubuntu with a classic Bottom Menu. Cinnamon is available in the default repositories of Ubuntu 13.10, therefore you can install it with the following command.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to install the most recent version of cinnamon, then add the follow the steps below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install cinnamon
|
||||
|
||||
Logout from the current session and select Cinnamon as your desktop session at the user login prompt. Now you’ll able to get the Cinnamon Desktop Environment.
|
||||
|
||||
**Warning**: Latest version of Cinnamon corrupts Unity both on Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10. Hope this bug will be fixed soon before the Ubuntu 13.10 stable release. For more information please refer this [link][7].
|
||||
|
||||
**Install GNOME 3 in Ubuntu 13.10**
|
||||
|
||||
To install GNOME 3 in Ubuntu 13.10, enter the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
|
||||
|
||||
During installation, the installer will ask you to select the login manager of your choice (LightDM is the default Unity manager and GDM is the GNOME default — Both will work).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Accounts Configuration ##
|
||||
|
||||
**Configure UbuntuOne Account**
|
||||
|
||||
**UbuntuOne** enables users to store files online and sync them between computers and mobile devices, as well as stream audio and music from cloud to mobile devices. If you have already an account, you will need top sing in, setup a folder in your computer and start synchronizing your data, contacts, photos …etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Also you can run **UbuntuOne** from the left side unity launcher:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Configure Online Accounts**
|
||||
|
||||
One of the top things you need to do is to setup your online accounts (Facebook, twitter…). To do that click on the **gear** button on the top right corner and select **System Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then select Online Accounts (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now setup your online accounts and get notifications in Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. System Monitoring & Eye Candy Tools ##
|
||||
|
||||
**Install Conky for Ubuntu 13.10**
|
||||
|
||||
**[Conky][8]** is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. There are many nice themes available for conky that can display clock, CPU usage, RAM usage, swap, disk, net and more. Check [our previous post for installation and configuration][9] of conky in Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10.

|
||||
|

## 6. Multimedia ##
|
||||
|
||||
**- Players
|
||||
|
||||
1-VLC Media Player:**
|
||||
|
||||
[VLC][11] is the best media player for Linux it play almost everything, it has many features that you can not find in any other media player, read this post if you want to know what VLC can do: [25 things you can do with VLC Media player][12]!

|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install vlc
|
||||
|
||||
Or install the most recent version 2.1.1 using the following PPA.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**- Video Editors
|
||||
|
||||
Openshot video editor:**
|
||||
|
||||
My favorite Video editor is [Openshot][14], the best existing actually for Linux. You can install Openshot from Ubuntu Software Center, but if you want to install the latest release, you can do that by adding the following repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: PPA is not yet working in 13.10 at the time of writing this article. Hope it will be updated soon.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**- Video Encoders

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Check our previous article to know about the powerful video encoder called “Handbrake”.

||||
|
||||
[Encode Movies And Videos Using Handbrake][16]

||||
|
||||
## 7. Install Common Codecs And Enable DVD playback ##
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps installing a few common codecs might give you better sensibility of your system:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder libdvdread4 totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert libmad0 mpg321 gstreamer1.0-libav
|
||||
|
||||
To play encrypted DVDs, the libdvdcss2 package is essential. libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device without having to bother about the decryption.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/./install-css.sh
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Enable Flash Support On Browsers ##

Ubuntu 13.10: It just works
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Find out why Jack Wallen thinks that Ubuntu 13.10 is a solid, reliable platform that just works. Do you agree? **
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I've been using Ubuntu for a very long time. I was one of the few in the media who adopted Unity as my primary desktop interface. In fact, I've grown so used to Unity that I have trouble finding any form of efficiency in other desktops. So, naturally, when a new Ubuntu release is about to be unleashed upon the world, I grab a beta and install it.
|
||||
|
||||
The hype surrounding the upcoming 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was fairly significant. Leading this charge was the much-anticipated switch to Xmir. Well, thanks to a few show-stopping issues (such as dual-monitor support), Xmir has been pushed back to 14.04. Is this a big deal? Yes and no. Yes, because Xmir will be a major change to the sub-systems of Ubuntu. No, because Xmir must be faultless when released -- otherwise, the backlash will knock Canonical back so far in the past that they'll have a hard time recovering in the eyes of the Linux community.
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond Xmir, the biggest change from .04 to .10 is the much-maligned inclusion of Smart Scopes. What are Smart Scopes? Let me explain it in the simplest terms as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
When you open your browser and begin typing a string of characters, you know how that browser will make suggestions for you based on search terms, location, and history? Smart Scopes brings that same functionality to the desktop. I've run some tests on it, and it's pretty incredible. Search for nearly anything, and it will return results based on a number of criteria. Want to know the location of a restaurant in your area? I conducted a search for my favorite Mexican restaurant, Bazos, and an entry appeared in Smart Scopes (**Figure A**). Click the entry to get the address or open that entry in a web browser to get more information (and even reviews).
|
||||
|
||||
**Figure A**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**My favorite place to eat listed in Smart Scopes.**
|
||||
|
||||
I get it, there are people out there suffering from apoplectic fits of terror because Smart Scopes is an invasion of privacy. This is no different than what your web browser is doing. So, unless you constantly run your web browser in Incognito mode, all those search strings are saved and compared anyway. And the truth is, why wouldn't you want your search results based on your preferences and behavior instead of some generic algorithm? Personally, I don't mind my search results being quantified and qualified, so long as it constantly refines the search results based on my needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Smart Scopes isn't limited to seeking out search results from the network. You'll be happily searching for anything and everything on your local (or locally attached) drives as well. With this inclusion, Smart Scopes becomes one of the single most powerful search tools available.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, if you don't like Smart Scopes, you can turn them off. Here's how:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the Settings launcher
|
||||
1. Select Security & Privacy
|
||||
1. In the Search tab, turn Include online search results to Off (**Figure B**)
|
||||
|
||||
**Figure B**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**It's easy to turn off the Smart Scopes feature.**
|
||||
|
||||
With all of that said, let's step away from the arguments for or against search privacy and let me explain exactly why Ubuntu 13.10 is the perfect desktop for nearly any user.
|
||||
|
||||
The install was fresh from the latest daily build. During the installation, I included third-party software, updates, and was even able to authenticated to my UbuntuOne account. The install was incredibly simple (as most modern Linux distributions are), and at first login, everything was smooth.
|
||||
|
||||
What initially struck me about Ubuntu 13.10 is how everything worked out of the box. There was no need to install codecs to listen or view various multi-media files, flash worked, and everything was ready for average, daily computer use. You could work on office documents, set up your email account... you name it. But that has become the standard operating procedure for Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
So, what's different? Honestly, not much. However, what little difference there is should go a long way with the average user. Probably the single most important thing I've found is that a lot of the little quirks and oddities are gone. There are no longer any strange errors that randomly pop up to cause confusion and disdain among new users. Windows don't artifact or stall, the Dash is very responsive (as is Smart Scopes), and the compositing is smooth and effortless against your CPU. Also, the bug is resolved that plagued the Dash when trying to use the arrow keys to navigate through search results.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ubuntu 13.10 just works ##
|
||||
|
||||
I would go as far to say that Ubuntu has done to the desktop what Apple did with hardware/software -- it developed a clean, solid convergence of pieces to create a cohesive whole. Although that whole has ruffled some feathers, Ubuntu 13.10 should go a long way to smooth them out. How is that possible, considering how many users have turned their back (thanks to [the Wayland kerfuffle][1])?
|
||||
|
||||
Outside of Smart Scopes, there are no major changes. There's little excitement on the desktop -- it's still the same old look and feel. Oh sure, there are tiny tweaks here and there, but overall, 13.10 and 13.04 look the same at first blush. Under the hood? Same thing. You'll find a new kernel (3.11) and a few other tweaks, but nothing to cause the cheerleaders of the world to frustratingly toss their pompoms in the air.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, Ubuntu 13.10 is a refinement of something that was already there and polished. There are no show stopping or curtain call worthy new features -- just countless tweaks here and there that make the whole system run smooth and fast.
|
||||
|
||||
The final release of Saucy Salamander is set for October 17, 2013. You can get a copy of the [daily build][2] or wait for the release date. Either way, you're going to get a solid, reliable platform that just works.

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]

Unity 8 updated with interesting refinements
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
[Unity 8][1] is the next-generation Unity aimed at and being developed in mind with Ubuntu converged, Unity 8 that is to deliver beauty, power and professional designs for phones, tablets and desktops.
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 has been updated to yet-another meaningful release, optimizing its elements with more clarity and natural behaviors.
|
||||
|
||||
Weeks ago, Unity 8 received support for the carousel effect in the Videos scope, carousel item-listing shortly after adopted by the Music scope, basically, Unity 8 featuring coverflow manners of rendering and organizing content in its Videos and Music scopes.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest Unity 8 version brings refinements for the **coverflow** effect used by the Music scope, rendering their covers (the big-sized thumbnails generated by music tracks) with a subtly-refined shape.
|
||||
|
||||
Opening the Music scope, the user is to notice the new shape used by the cycled-through covers featuring a more square look, increasing their width and decreasing their height; the result: the covers have now more elegance, emanating style and class, moreover, being now visually aligned with the other thumbnails from (for example) the `Albums` category (featuring the same look & feel).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 comes with several search areas, search areas enriched with support for activity indicators; typing now a term in the search area, displays a vivid extremely-energetic spinning circle, transmitting to the user its in-progress state.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 is [available][2] for testing via Ubuntu 13.10's Ubuntu Software Center.

When open source invests in diversity, everyone wins
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.

Wireless Aside, Cr OS Linux Delivers the Best of Two Worlds
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
**It is easy to be misled about exactly what Cr OS is. This open source OS project first debuted in 2009 as Chrome OS Linux. Last September its developers changed the name to Cr OS Linux. Even with a recent name change for this distro, it can be mistaken for other Linux OS projects that resemble Google's Chrome OS. Think Chromebook here.**
|
||||
|
||||
The [Cr OS Linux][1] distribution is an interesting blend of the Cinnamon desktop with a special edition of the Chromium Web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
The approach Cr OS Linux (pronounced "Cros Linux") takes gives you a taste of Linux Mint with a chaser of a not-quick pure Google Chrome OS.
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS is a fully functional Linux distro. It has its own repository and package manager to provide software updates.
|
||||
|
||||
I was generally pleased with Cr OS. Its lightweight design does not have many of the advanced features that tend to bog down Linux Mint, but the Cinnamon desktop definitely provides a Minty look and feel.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS Linux uses GNOME scaling effects to depict workspaces.
|
||||
|
||||
The only serious impediment is its high rate of incompatibility with wireless hardware. If all you need is a solid Linux OS for your desktop computer, Cr OS could be an ideal choice. If you also want to use it on laptops, however, chances are it will not connect to your wireless card.
|
||||
|
||||
###WiFi Woes
|
||||
|
||||
I loaded the live DVD onto three different laptops I use regularly. Each one was built by a different but well-known laptop maker.
|
||||
|
||||
All connected to the Internet via cable just fine. None made the wireless connection. Cr OS failed to spot the wireless card.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a recurring problem with one of my laptops, but I can almost always get a wireless connection from at least one of the other two.
|
||||
|
||||
###No Chrome OS Clone
|
||||
|
||||
It is easy to be misled about exactly what Cr OS is. This open source OS project first debuted in 2009 as Chrome OS Linux. Last September its developers changed the name to Cr OS Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Even with a recent name change for this distro, it can be mistaken for other Linux OS projects that resemble Google's Chrome OS. Think Chromebook here.
|
||||
|
||||
The developer's intent was to build a free Linux Live CD distribution around the revolutionary Google Chrome (Chromium) Web browser and based on the openSUSE operating system. That is what Cr OS Linux is.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the Chrome OS Project, however, Cr OS is more than just a browser-based OS.
|
||||
|
||||
###First Impressions
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS is a Linux distro that gives you the best of two worlds. The combination of a traditional Linux desktop based on Cinnamon with a tweaked Chromium Web browser is awesome.
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS installs with the InSync beta 10 client for Google Drive. This essentially turns the generic Chromium Web browser that is the basis of Google Chrome into the Chrome browser.
|
||||
|
||||
I can log into my Google account and have Chromium sync all of the Google apps so I get the appearance of actually running the Google Chrome browser. Even the Chrome store is connected to the Google Store in the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you use the Google Chrome browser and like the Cinnamon desktop, the Cr OS is very satisfying indeed.
|
||||
|
||||
###Software Galore
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS has an impressive installed software base. This makes it much more flexible than Google Chrome OS, with all the limitations it imposes.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use your standard Linux apps and supplement the software with your favorite Google apps online via the Chromium browser linked to your Google account.
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS does not install the latest versions of every application, but at least I did not have to add the key programs I expect to find in a Linux distro. Among the apps provided are the Banshee 2.4 media player, Shotwell 0.12 photo manager, GIMP 2.8 image editor, LibreOffice 3.5 office suite, Wine 1.5 Windows emulator, Cheese 3.4 webcam app and the Pidgin 2.10 instant messenger.
|
||||
|
||||
###Under the Hood
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS is no slouch in the engine department, either. It has a Dashboard with social toolbar and a very functional Control Center.
|
||||
|
||||
Powering this distro release is Linux kernel 3.6.5 and the Cinnamon 1.6.6 desktop environment. The Chromium 24.0.1290 Web browser is the stock offering.
|
||||
|
||||
###Getting It
|
||||
|
||||
The download process for Cr OS is horrible. You can choose to pay for a Gold membership account for really fast download speed, or you can choose the regular download option for free, go through a 60-second wait with gotcha verification and then a very slow (353 minutes) download.
|
||||
|
||||
The download service is provided by depositfiles.com. The Cr OS website has almost no information about the community or company providing the software. The site gives you the option to go to its Google+ page, but until you agree to add them to your Circles, you get no information from there either.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also choose to download the live DVD version or the install-to-USB-drive portable version. The live download is 826 MB. The USB download is a 976 MB tar.gz file (3.9 GB unpacked).
|
||||
|
||||
###A Better Source
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative is [here][2] at the [SuSE][3] Studio affiliate website. You still need to set up an account, however, unless you have Google or other affiliated log-ins.
|
||||
|
||||
The download speeds are not throttled back here, however, so the complete download is much quicker. The download speed still depends on your service provider and other factors, but no USB installation download was available.
|
||||
|
||||
Either way, you may still sense some branding confusion. Cr OS Linux is not affiliated with Google Chrome, other than the tie-in with the Insync integration.
|
||||
|
||||
The splash screen sports the Google red, green and yellow colored circle. The two-tone blue Chromium icon sits on the desktop panel, however.
|
||||
|
||||
###Bottom Line
|
||||
|
||||
If the wireless connectivity issue does not affect you, Cr OS is a solid Linux distro. It offers an uncluttered Cinnamon desktop environment with a tweaked-out version of the Chromium Web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
Cr OS is not as mainstream as other Linux distros, but its unique approach may be just what you need to enjoy a more pure Linux experience.
|
||||
|
||||
###Want to Suggest a Linux Application for Review?
|
||||
|
||||
Is there a Linux software application you'd like to suggest for review? Something you love or would like to get to know?
|
||||
|
||||
Please send your ideas to me at jack.germain@newsroom.ectnews.com, and I'll consider them for a future Linux Picks and Pans column.

‘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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*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*.”
|
||||
|
||||
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 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.

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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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

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

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。

Sometimes a program or software don’t 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.

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。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*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。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*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。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*KeePassX 2.0 主界面*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*密码项的一些细节*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*密码项的附加属性*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*历史登陆信息，比如从先前的版本替换掉"Backup"文件夹之类的*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*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。

Mark Shuttleworth认为苹果5S使用了Ubuntu Edge收敛的创意
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Canonical公司的创始人Mark Shuttleworth通过这一有趣的说法将Ubuntu Egde智能手机与iPhone 5S联系了起来。
|
||||
|
||||
几个月前，Canonical和Mark Shuttleworth尝试筹资来推出一款手机，该手机被认为是手机中的“F1赛车”。虽然失败了，但是他认为苹果已经从这款手机（Ubuntu Edge）的概念中获得了灵感。
|
||||
|
||||
“我认为[Ubuntu Edge]可能加速了收敛的概念，你看苹果描述他们的新的CPU为‘桌面级’的，我认为这并不是偶然。”他在接受[ZDnet][1]采访时这么说。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical公司的创始人可能有一些我们不能获得的内部消息，但是这是一个对无缘无故将事情相提并论完全不感兴趣的人的有趣的推断。
|
||||
|
||||
苹果是否会按照Canonical的Ubuntu Edge手机描绘的收敛性发展还有待观察。

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
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**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.

更新了有趣细节的 Unity 8
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
作为下一代 Unity 的 [Unity 8][1]，其目标是在发展理念上与 Ubuntu 设备桌面系统趋于一致。Unity 8 旨在手机、平板，及电脑设备上展现其独到的审美、强大的功能和专业的设计。
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 已经更新了又一个重要的 release 版本，在这一新版本中，Unity的基本元素经过优化处理后，显得更加清新和自然了。
|
||||
|
||||
几周前，Unity 8 在 Video 域中支持了旋转效果，随后，旋转效果又加入到了 Music 域中。简单来说，在 Videos 域和 Music 域中，Unity 8 使用精心设计的 coverflow 效果来呈现和组织内容。
|
||||
|
||||
最新版本的 Unity 8 在 Music 域中为 **coverflow** 效果增加了不少细节，使用巧妙精致的形状渲染音乐的封面（音乐曲目的大号缩略图）。
|
||||
|
||||
打开 Music 域，映入眼帘的是循环铺展着的封面，通过使用新的外观（增加了宽度并且减少了高度），使得封面看起来更接近于方形。这样修改的效果是，封面显得更加精致典雅，散发出了一种风格和品质。此外，封面与 `Albums` 的缩略图（例如）看起来更加一致（具有一样的外观和感觉）。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Unity 8 自带了多个搜索框，搜索框支持显示 **动态提示符** 。当您在搜索框中输入一个单词时，您可以看到一个色泽鲜艳的圆圈在不停旋转，这代表正在搜索中。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
