Ubuntu 14.10 to Be Called Utopic Unicorn
================================================================================
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Ubuntu-14-10-to-Be-Called-Utopic-Unicorn-439028-2.jpg)
**Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Canonical, has chosen the name of the next Ubuntu, 14.10, and it will be called Utopic Unicorn.**
The Ubuntu developers don't usually take a lot of rest between development cycles, which means that work on Ubuntu 14.10 will start any day now and, in six months time, in October 2014, we'll have a new release. Granted, it won't be an LTS version, but Mark Shuttleworth wants the development team to test the waters on what's possible and make some big leaps forward.
“So bring your upstanding best to the table or the forum or the mailing list and lets make something amazing. Something unified and upright, something about which we can be universally proud. And since were getting that once-every-two-years chance to make fresh starts and dream unconstrained dreams about what the future should look like, we may as well go all out and give it a dreamlike name. Lets get going on the utopic unicorn. Give it stick,” said Mark Shuttleworth in his regular [announcement][1].
The name of Utopic Unicorn is a little different from what wed usually expect. None of the names chosen so far has been mythical, which makes Ubuntu 14.10 a peculiar version. Either he couldn't find a real and interesting animal to use for the name, or he just couldn't resist to the use of Unicorn.
Canonical doesn't leave the name choosing process to the community, like Fedora does. It would generate the most bizarre names and it's likely Ubuntu would end up with some funky codename that no one really likes.
From what Mark Shuttleworth has been describing in his post, it seems that Ubuntu developers have been given a blank check to make something different. This doesn't mean that the next Ubuntu will be radically different, but if we keep in mind that it's a system with only a nine-month support period, it's very likely that they will experiment a great deal.
“The discipline of an LTS constrains our creativity our users appreciate the results of a focused effort on performance and stability and maintainability, and we appreciate the spring cleaning that comes with a focus on technical debt. But the point of spring cleaning is to make room for fresh ideas and new art, and our next release has to raise the roof in that regard. And what a spectacular time to be unleashing creativity in Ubuntu,” also noted Mark Shuttleworth.
It's also very likely that Ubuntu developers will try to get a little bit closer to their convergence goal of having a single codebase running on all the platforms. It won't be ready in this cycle, but we will probably see some major improvements.
All hail Utopic Unicorn!

How To Disable Unity Online Search Feature On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS And Older Versions
================================================================================
Whenever, you start typing in Unity Dash to search for an application or a file in your computer, your search terms will be automatically sent to third parties such as Amazon, and the third parties will display the relevant results (mostly ads) depending upon your search terms. If you dont like this feature and feel this is really annoying to you, you can disable it.
For example, when I type Terminal in the Unity Dash, It displays the Terminal application, and other third party junks(which I dont want always) from the web.
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Menu_019.png)
As you see in the above screenshot, Unity displays the built-in **Terminal** application, reference links, weather links and other third party suggestions such as movies etc. This is very annoying and looks bad on Unity Dash. Also, it displays too many search results, and confuse me.
If you dont need this feature like me, enter the following command in your Terminal:
wget -q -O - https://fixubuntu.com/fixubuntu.sh | bash
The contents of the script is given below:
#!/bin/bash
GS="/usr/bin/gsettings"
CCUL="com.canonical.Unity.lenses"
# Figure out the version of Ubuntu that you're running
V=`/usr/bin/lsb_release -rs`
# The privacy problems started with 12.10, so earlier versions should do nothing
if awk "BEGIN {exit !($V < 12.10 || $V >= 14.10)}"; then
echo "Good news! This version of Ubuntu is not known to invade your privacy."
else
# Check Canonical schema is present. Take first match, ignoring case.
SCHEMA="`$GS list-schemas | grep -i $CCUL | head -1`"
if [ -z "$SCHEMA" ]
then
printf "Error: could not find Canonical schema %s.\n" "$CCUL" 1>&2
exit 1
else
CCUL="$SCHEMA"
fi
# Turn off "Remote Search", so search terms in Dash don't get sent to the internet
$GS set $CCUL remote-content-search none
# If you're using earlier than 13.10, uninstall unity-lens-shopping
if [ $V \< 13.10 ]; then
sudo apt-get remove -y unity-lens-shopping
# If you're using a later version, disable remote scopes
else
$GS set $CCUL disabled-scopes \
"['more_suggestions-amazon.scope', 'more_suggestions-u1ms.scope',
'more_suggestions-populartracks.scope', 'music-musicstore.scope',
'more_suggestions-ebay.scope', 'more_suggestions-ubuntushop.scope',
'more_suggestions-skimlinks.scope']"
fi;
# Block connections to Ubuntu's ad server, just in case
if ! grep -q "127.0.0.1 productsearch.ubuntu.com" /etc/hosts; then
echo -e "\n127.0.0.1 productsearch.ubuntu.com" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts >/dev/null
fi
echo "All done. Enjoy your privacy."
fi
Again, I entered Terminal on Unity dash. Now the unity displays only the Terminal application, not the other unwanted junks, and now Unity Dash looks good.
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Menu_020.png)
All done. Enjoy your privacy.
Cheers!
**Update**: This trick is only for Unity desktop. If you use other DEs such as Gnome, LXDE or XFCE, you dont have to do this. Also, this online search feature will not be included in Ubuntu 14.10 and upcoming versions.

How to Dual Boot Android 4.4.2 and Ubuntu for Phones
================================================================================
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Hot-to-Dual-Boot-Android-4-4-2-and-Ubuntu-for-Phones-438840-2.jpg)
**Testing Ubuntu for phones is now even simpler with an application that is capable of installing the new operating system from Canonical without having to delete Android. Getting a dual boot system in place will perhaps turn the attention of even more users towards the new open source platform for mobiles and tablets.**
Canonical has a simple procedure explained on its website on how to install Ubuntu for phones, but that implies deleting Android and getting the new operating system in place. The Ubuntu developers have done a great job so far and the new OS is looking great, but if you decide to return to Android, you will need to delete Ubuntu and install Googles OS. That means that you will have to set up the phone all over again, which can be bothersome.
Fortunately, there is a solution for this problem and it's called [MultiROM Manager][1], an application developed by Vojtech Bocek. It's available on Google Play and will only work on Nexus 7 (2012 & 2013), Nexus 4, and Nexus 5.
On the other hand, Ubuntu Touch only works on Nexus 4 Phone (mako), Nexus 7 (2013) Tablet (flo), and Nexus 10 Tablet (manta), so unless you have one of these devices, you won't be able to safely do this procedure (it might work, but there are no guarantees and you might brick the device and/or lose all your data.)
First of all, you will need an unlocked phone, which shouldn't be a problem since you already have a Nexus device. You will also have to be root in Android so that you can install the operating system from inside the application itself.
A number of tools will be necessary for this work. First off all, you will need to install ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which is provided by Canonical along with some of its tools. You will have to run a few commands in a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash
Now, you will need to download two packages, [TWRP 2.7.0.0][2] and [SuperSU][3] binary, which will actually make you root. Copy the SuperSU binary zip to the phone's memory. Run this command to go to the bootloader:
sudo reboot bootloader
Unzip the TWRP files on your computer and install the images with the following command (replace recovery.img with the name of the file you have downloaded):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Navigate from the bootloader menu to recovery and you will now have TWRP 2.7.0.0 in place. Run TWRP and install the SuperSU binary, followed by a reboot.
You now have root access in Android. Install MultiROM Manager, apply the patches, and download Ubuntu for phones. The application will ask for root access and the installation will go on smoothly. When you reboot you will be prompted with a small screen that allows you to choose what system you want to run. Choose Ubuntu and you are good to go.
Enjoy!
