Open-Source Vs Groupon: GNOME Battle To Protect Their Trademark
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/gnome-blank.jpg)
**GNOME is a name synonymous with open-source software, but if the billion-dollar company Groupon has its way it could soon mean something different.**
[Groupon][1], famed for its deal-of-the-day website, recently unveiled a “tablet-based platform“ called GNOME, and has filed requisite trademark filings — 10 so far — seeking ownership of the name.
Naturally, this has the GNOME Foundation concerned. GNOME is a [registered trademark][2] of the foundation, and has been since 2006. This mark was issued under a number of sections, including operating system which the Chicago-based Groupon is also claiming against.
Could it just be that theyve never heard of GNOME before? Highly unlikely.
![Groupons POS system. Ahem.](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Gnome-Stand.jpg)
Groupons POS system. Ahem.
Even the most Saul Goodman-y of lawyers would first check existing trademarks and investigate the company(s) owning or contesting. Even assuming that lapse in professionalism, most would have at least given the name a quick Google. Damningly, the company has previously [claimed to be fuelled by open-source][3].
Groupon clearly knows of GNOME, knows what it does, what it stands for and how long its been around yet considers itself better placed to “own” the name for its brand of hokey in-store point-of-sale terminals.
*Hrm.*
### Campaign to Protect GNOME ###
Ask not what GNOME can do for you, but what you can do for GNOME. This morning the GNOME Foundation [launched a campaign][4] to raise (an estimated) US$80,000 to battle the first found of marks Groupon has applied to register.
“**We must not let a billion-dollar-company take the well-established name of one of the biggest Free Software communities,**” says Tobias Mueller, a GNOME Foundation director.
**“If you want to help GNOME defend its trademark and promote Free Software, visit the campaigns page, share the link, and let Groupon know that they behaved terribly”.**
Lucas Nussbaum, **Debian Project Leader**, sums the whole situation up succinctly:
“**This legal defense is not just about protecting GNOMEs trademark; it is about asserting to the corporate world that FLOSS trademarks can and will be guarded. Not just by the project in question, but by the community as a whole. As a result, all FLOSS trademarks will be strengthened at once.**”
More details can be found on the GNOME Groupon Campaign page.

How to Remove Music Players from Ubuntu Sound Menu
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/music-players.jpg)
**Since its introduction back in 2010, the Ubuntu Sound Menu has proven to be one of the most popular and unique features of the Unity desktop.**
Allowing music players to integrate with the volume applet i.e., where one would expect to find sound-related tomfoolery through a standard interface is inspired. One wonders why other operating systems havent followed suit!
#### Overstuffed ####
Handy though it may be there is a “problem” with the applet as it currently exists: pretty much anything that so much as looks at an MP3 can, should it want, lodge itself inside. While useful, an omnipresent listing for apps you have installed but dont use that often is annoying and unsightly.
Im going to wager that the screenshot above looks familiar to a great many of you reading this! Never fear, **dconf-editor** is here.
### Remove Players from Ubuntu Sound Menu ###
#### Part One: Basics ####
The quickest and easiest way to remove entries from the Sound Menu is to uninstall the apps afflicting it. But thats extreme; as I said, you may want the app, just not the integration.
To remove players without ditching the apps we need to use a scary looking tool called dconf-editor.
You may have it installed already, but if you dont youll find it in the Ubuntu Software Center waiting.
- [Click to Install Dconf-Editor in Ubuntu][1]
Once installed, head to the Unity Dash to open it. Dont panic when it opens; youve not been shunted back to the 2002, its supposed to look like that.
Using the left-hand sidebar you need to navigate to com > canonical > indicator > sound. The following pane will appear.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/dconf-editor.jpg)
Double click on the closed brackets next to interested-media-players and delete the players you wish to remove from the Sound Menu, but leave in the square brackets and dont delete any commas or apostrophes from items you wish to keep.
For example, I removed **rhythmbox.desktop**, **pithos.desktop**, **clementine.desktop**, to leave a line that reads:
['tomahawk.desktop']
Now, when I open the Sound menu I only see Tomahawk:

#### Part Two: Blacklisting ####
Wait! Dont close dconf-editor yet. While the steps above makes things look nice and tidy some players will instantly re-add themselves to the sound menu when opened. To avoid having to repeat the process add them to the **blacklisted-media-player** section.
Remember to enclose each player in apostrophes with a comma separating multiple entries. They must also be inside the square brackets — so double check before exiting.
The net result:

[Quick Tip] How To Fix Docky Compositing Error In Lubuntu
================================================================================
As you may know, **Docky** a is light weight application launcher in Unix/Linux like systems. I am a big fan of Lubuntu and Docky, because it doesnt swallow all my system resources, so that I can use more application simultaneously. I use Docky application launcher in my production Laptop, powered by Lubuntu 14.04.
If youre using LXDE distros, you may definitely encounter with composting error while using Docky. See the following screenshot.
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Docky.png)
If you didnt enable compositing feature, you cant use some of Dockys features such as 3D background and Auto-hide. If you want to enable this features on Docky, you need to enable the Compositing feature in your LXDE systems.
To do that, first install the **xcompmgr** package.
sudo apt-get install xcompmgr
Then, go to **Menu -> Preferences -> Default applications for LXSession**. Navigate to the Autostart tab. Type “**@xcompmgr -n**” without quotes in the box that says **+Add**. Then, click Add button.
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/LXSession-configuration_002.png)
Thats it. Close the LXSession configuration window and log off or reboot your system. Now, youll see that Compositing feature has been enabled.
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/unknown_006.png)
Also, you can use 3D background and hiding features such as Auto-hide, Intellihide or Window dodge etc.

Cheers!
