Conky Harmattan Is A Stylish Desktop Companion For Linux
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/conky-harmatten.jpg)
**To butcher a well-worn phrase, With great power comes great frustration at least thats the case when wrestling with Conky, the versatile system monitoring tool for Linux.**
On the one hand its super featured and highly versatile, on the other its a pain in the rump to configure.
![Several themes and modes are included](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Screen-Shot-2014-01-21-at-20.42.42.png)
**Conky Harmattan**, a new collection of themes from deviantArt user Zagortenay333, is no exception to this rule. Whilst the screenshots show off a stylish desktop widget thats sure to impress most who see it, the effort needed to get it running will scare many of those people away.
To help, its creator has included a **thorough step-by-step guide to installing** it and, for when things dont quite appear as planned, a **helpful “troubleshooting” file** lists fixes for some of the most commonly encountered issues.
Harmatten includes:
- **12 themes**, including Ubuntu Touch, Numix and Elementary designs
- **4 display modes**, including mini and compact
- **2 weather modes**
- **Metric and Imperial weather unit options**
By default Harmattan is “fixed”; this means that you cant move it around using your mouse. Instead youll need to adjust the x and y gap values in the conky-config file during setup another tick in the “faff” column!
Unlike most Conky Themes Harmattan doesnt require you to jump through lua rings hoops to replicate on your screen what you see on others.
### Getting Harmattan Conky ###
To use this theme youll first need to install conky-all and curl from the Ubuntu Software Centre. Without these some features may not work.
- [Install conky-all in Ubuntu][1]
- [Install curl in Ubuntu][2]
Next, to download the theme head on over to the authors deviantArt page.
- [Download Conky Harmattan][3]
After extracting the Harmattan package archive, press Ctrl+H in the Nautilus file browser to view hidden files.
Lastly, fire up the Installation read me and follow the advice.

Pear OS Is History!
================================================================================
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/RIP_PearOS.jpeg)
Start of 2014 sees the demise of another Linux distribution. This time its Mac lookalike [Pear OS][1] that bids good bye. Starting from today, Pear OS is no longer available for download. Pear Cloud server will also go offline from 31 January.
Unlike [Linux distributions that were discontinued in 2013][2], Pear OS is not discontinued for the lack of fund or man power, rather it has been bought by some unknown big enterprise (I hope its not Apple :P) that will use Pear OS for its own product. That means Pear OS cannot be forked or continued by community.
Owner of Pear OS, David Tavares announced the news on [Facebook][3] on 20 January 2014.
> Its future is now in hands of a company who wants to remain anonymous for the moment. The concept has pleased them it and now wants to continue and improve the system for their own products. I can not give a name but it is a very large company well known …
The same message is displayed on the Pear OS website as well. David thanked the user and developers for their support in the farewell message.
Probably this explains why Pear OS 8 was excessively buggy. David was less focused on developing Pear OS as he was busy in finalizing the deal. {Read: [Pear OS 8 review][4]}
I saw couple of angry messages on social networking sites that it goes against the norms of Open Source. While the outburst is justified to an extent, it is Davids right to choose what he thinks is better for his future. As he indicated that he is going in other direction, may be to start a new venture. I wish him good luck for his future.
With Pear OS gone, its users may [install Elementary OS Luna][5], another Ubuntu based distribution with OS X-inspired looks.

Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 Wallpaper Contest Kicks Off
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/gnome_example.jpg)
**Macro lenses at the ready: Ubuntu GNOME is on the hunt for a new set of community-contributed wallpapers to feature in its forthcoming release.**
Ubuntu GNOME 14.04, due in mid-April, wants to look as good as it possibly can. And to do that it needs your help to ensure it ships with a swish selection of wallpapers and backgrounds.
Interested? Heres what you need to g-know.
### Wallpaper Contest Rules ###
Entry is open to everyone, but youll need to be a keen photographer or eager illustrator to take part as the Ubuntu GNOME design team are only looking to include original work.
The full [submission guidelines][1] are straightforward. In summary they seek to ensure that entries:
- Dont include brand names, logos or trademarks
- Dont use violent, religious or explicit imagery
- Are simple in composition with a single point of focus
- Are designed with the GNOME Shell UI in mind
It should go without saying: only submit work to which you own the full copyright, and try to aim for a minimum size of **2560 x 1600** (pixels).
Deadline for all entries is February 27. After this date the Ubuntu GNOME design team will pick their favourites. The precise number of winning wallpapers will be based on the amount and overall quality of entries.
Like the regular Ubuntu wallpaper competition, Ubuntu GNOME are accepting submissions on Flickr.
- [Ubuntu GNOME Wallpaper Contest on Flickr][2]
For those without (or unwilling to sign up for) a Yahoo! account entries can also be made via the [Ubuntu GNOME Wiki][3] (which requires an Ubuntu One account).
