Calibre 1.6 正式发布:更方便的标记图书功能
====
[Calibre][1]是一个免费的开源电子图书馆管理工具,令人心动的设计思想,综合了电子书相关范畴的要求和需求,提供了强大的转换处理,专注于电子书的阅读,轻而易举的创建和管理书库,集成在线服务等,总而言之,给你真真正正的现代化电子书阅读体验。
Calibre 已经更新到**1.6**版本,已有的**标记图书**book-marking功能做了大量的修补和功能增强。
**标记图书**作为一种**暂定**选书的简便方式重启Calibre后就会失去标记允许用户标记某本图书再点击已标记的图书便取消该标记该特性能在很多场景提供便利。
最新实现的标记图书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。
举个例子,**标记**你选择的三本书按住Ctrl键并点击选定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找到标记的书本。
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%2016%20marking%20books.png)
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分离出偏爱的图书,只需要花几秒钟点击标记按钮,即可清楚的展示某本书。
再次选择标记图书或再点击标记图书按钮,将取消标记,按钮在标记/不标记之间切换。
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设置快捷键,双击一个条目进行编辑。
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%20font%20size%20shortcut.png)
以上提及的特性连同大量的bug的修补、增加了最新的新闻源一些的乌拉圭的新闻和改进了一些新闻源国家地理杂志纽约书评聚焦Carta CapitalMing PaoNeu Osnabrucker Zeitung去感受更强大的Calibre吧!
###我们怎么**安装**Calibre 1.6呢?
复制以下命令到终端
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

Ubuntu——每日小贴士Linux上的时光机
==============================
当我们比较windows和ubuntu时会发现他们各有千秋。在还原到之前状态的能力方面Windows做的很好它可以很好的还原到Windows XP之前的状态这可以让你在需要修复时节省了很多时间。
与此不同的是Ubuntu并不能让整个系统还原到之前的状态但是你可以对自己的个人文件或文件夹进行还原。
不过,还好现在有了[TimeShift][1]你现在可以像Windows一样将整个Ubuntu系统还原到之前的状态TimeShift也许没有提供Windows上还原功能的所有功能但至少已经很接近了。
TimeShift是一款开源应用它提供和Windows上还原系统、Mac上时间机器相同的功能。它会在预定时间内给系统保存快照并在你需要时通过快照来实现还原。
要安装TimeShift你需要使用如下命令来添加其PPA。
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
然后执行下面的命令来升级系统和安装TimeShift。
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install timeshift
安装完之后在Dash中搜索到TimeShift启动它并设置好首选项。第一次启动会一些时间来扫描你电脑中的可用空间和需要备份的文件。
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/timeshiftubuntu.png)
启动后可以进行偏好设置,当然你也可以保留默认设置。如果你需要立刻备份时,可以直接点击菜单上的“备份按钮”,当然你也可以在需要时使用它对整个电脑进行还原操作。
来试试手吧!

apt-fast飞一般的apt-get
============================
apt-fast是一个为 **apt-get****aptitude** 做的“ **shell脚本封装**通过对每个包进行并发下载的方式可以大大减少APT的下载时间。apt-fast使用aria2c或axel下载管理器来减少APT下载时间。就像传统的apt-get包管理器一样apt-fast支持几乎所有的apt-get功能 **install** , **remove** , **update** , **upgrade** , **dist-upgrade** 等等并且更重要的是它也支持proxy。
###在Ubuntu上安装apt-fast
使用以下PPA去安装apt-fast。apt-fast开发者说**一些发行版如PCLinux已经在他们默认的仓库中包括了apt-fast** 。” 我希望它将来也包含在Ubuntu/Debian的默认仓库中。
添加apt-fast的PPA在终端中输入以下命令。
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apt-fast/stable
用命令更新源:
sudo apt-get update
使用命令安装apt-fast
sudo apt-get install apt-fast
在安装期间,它将要求你输入下载包的最大链接数。
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sk@sk-_003.png)
在下一个对话框里面会问你是否要禁止apt-fast的确认对话框。选择No并继续安装。如果你选择Yesapt-fast在安装软件包时不会问你确认与否。
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sk@sk-_0041.png)
我发现 **aria2** 下载管理器已经随着apt-fast的安装而自动安装。所以你不必单独安装aria2。
如果你想重新配置apt-fast选项你可以使用命令
sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-fast
###用法
与apt-get功能相似我们可以使用
apt-fast install package
apt-fast remove package
apt-fast update
apt-fast upgrade
apt-fast dist-upgrade
及更多命令。
工作中的apt-fast包管理器
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sk@sk-_0051.png)
###创建别名(可选)
编辑 **~/.bashrc** 文件在末尾添加下面这行。
alias apt-get='apt-fast'
或者简单运行以下命令在你的 **~/.bashrc** 中添加它。
sudo echo "alias apt-get='apt-fast'" >> ~/.bashrc
从现在每当你运行apt-get命令去移除更新和升级包时它将在后台自动使用apt-fast。听起来很酷吧
在测试期间当下载包时我发现它与apt-get相比非常快。试一试你一定会赞同我的看法。感谢阅读

Disable Amazon & Remote Content Fetching In Ubuntu 13.10
================================================================================
Now that Ubuntu 13.10 has been released, its now time to sit back and configure some settings that will suit your needs. Ubuntu 13.10 comes with many things and some of those may not be what you want when you install or upgrade Ubuntu.
For example, when you install or upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10, youll automatically get Amazon and other commercial shopping scopes enabled. These lenses show up when you open Unity Dash. When you perform searches from Dash, content that matches your search terms will also be delivered from remote sources like Amazon as well.
These added features provided by Canonical may be good for some, but for few users, this may be something they dont want.
Because fetching content from remote sources requires bandwidth, this may have a negative impact on your Internet bill especially if you live in areas that charges based on usages.
For other users who may have security and privacy concerns, automatically searching remote sources from your local machine maybe not be the best idea. Some just dont want commercial companies showing their products to them when performing basic searches from their local machines.
This brief tutorial is going to show you how to quick disable Amazon and all remote content fetching when using Ubuntu 13.10.
To get started, press **Ctrl Alt T** on your keyboard to show the terminal or console. When it opens, run the commands below to disable the feature.
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search 'none'
If you want to re-enable it, run the commands below.
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search 'all'
Youll have to re-logon or restart your machine for the changes to take effect. After doing that, no remote sources will be use in your searches when using Ubuntu.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Ubuntu The Worlds Most Popular Linux Distro Turns 9 Years Old
================================================================================
**Happy birthday to Ubuntu! The worlds most popular desktop Linux distribution turns 9 years old today.**
It was on this very day back in 2004 that Mark Shuttleworth took to the Ubuntu mailing list [to announce the inaugural release of Ubuntu 4.10][1] codenamed the **Warty Warthog** due to its rough edges.
Nine years, and some nineteen releases on, the Ubuntu desktop we find ourselves sat in front of today bears little resemblance to that of its younger self. The distro went, virtually overnight, from a Debian-based curiosity “**A space tourist making a Linux distro?!**” to becoming one of the most recognisable and powerful forces in open-source software.
We had hoped to share some words from the man himself on the genesis of Ubuntu, and whether he ever expected it to grow as large and as popular as it has. But, understandably, given the bi-annual post-release comedown, we havent heard back from him. Hopefully hes somewhere with a nice slice of cake!
Nevertheless, to help celebrate the milestone weve put together a concise **visual overview of Ubuntus release history**, highlighting some of the key features and changes each update has brought with it.

Heres How To Enable DVD Playback In Ubuntu 13.10
================================================================================
If you find yourself struggling to play DVDs in Ubuntu 13.10 after installing, heres the reason why. You see, Ubuntu is always shipped with some limitations when it comes to playing DVDs and other media. For legal reasons, Canonical, the parent company of Ubuntu leaves out these packages and programs that are required to play DVDs and most media in Ubuntu.
I am not going to tell you what the reasons are, but heres how to get these packages in Ubuntu so you can play and watch commercial DVD as well as other encrypted media.
There are many options available to you. You could install free versions of these packages or get some paid versions if you want to help those behind the efforts of making Ubuntu media friendly.
Another method thats no longer available was to use Medibuntu repositories to install these packages which will allow you play DVDs. Now, Medibuntu has [stopped support][1] for Ubuntu 12.10 and up.
So, to play DVDs again in Ubuntu, follow the steps below.
[Purchase Fluendo DVD Player][2] this program is designed to help Ubuntu users play commercial DVDs. It supports full DVD playback, full screen and support for subtitles.
If you dont want to buy software that allows you to play DVDs, install these free tools.
Press **Ctrl Alt T** on your keyboard to open the terminal. When it opens, run the commands below.
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Next, run the commands below.
sudo apt-get install libavformat-extra-53 libavcodec-extra-53 libdvdread4
Finally, run the commands below and youre done.
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
You may have to restart your computer. After that, insert your DVD and try again. If all of the above steps fail, run the commands below to install VLC Player.
sudo apt-get install vlc
Enjoy!

Open Virtualization Alliance joins the Linux Foundation
================================================================================
> But the developer community for OVA's Kernel-based Virtual Machine hypervisor project will remain separate and independent
IDG News Service - The Open Virtualization Alliance has joined the Linux Foundation as a collaborative project to deepen its ties with the Linux community.
The organizations announced their collaboration during the LinuxCon Europe conference in Edinburgh on Monday.
The Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA) has more than 250 member companies, including IBM, Red Hat, Intel and NetApp. It aims to raise awareness and drive adoption of the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor, a full open source virtualization platform for Linux on x86 hardware that allows users to run multiple virtual machines unmodified on Linux or Windows images. KVM can be 60% to 90% cheaper than other virtualization platforms, while offering the same core functionality, according to the Alliance.
By joining the Linux Foundation as a collaborative project, the OVA seeks to deepen its ties with the broader Linux community, said Chuck Dubuque, the board chair for Open Virtualization Alliance and director of product marketing Red Hat-s Virtualization Business Unit, in an email. Together, they will work on KVM marketing and awareness and the Linux Foundation will increase its investments in KVM by hosting events such as the KVM Forum that started in Edinburgh on Monday, he added.
OVA joined the Foundation because of its track record of engaging the user and commercial communities associated with open source projects and its strong ties to the development community, making it the logical choice for a collaborative partner, said Dubuque. The KVM project itself however remains a separate and independent developer community, Dubuque added.
The Linux Foundation is happy to provide guidance to organizations that want to reduce operating costs, maximize promotional reach and increase participation in addition to its other activities, the Foundation said in a news release.
Advances in virtualization technologies are key to the growth of Linux in the enterprise and cloud computing, the Foundation said. In addition to hosting OVA, the Linux Foundation also hosts the Xen Project, an open source hypervisor that was [donated][1]. A to the Linux Foundation by Citrix in April to get input from a wider, more diverse group of contributors.

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

l3b2w1 translating Ubuntu 13.10 Released But Is It An Essential Upgrade?
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-16-at-15.43.jpg)
**Its release day for Ubuntu 13.10. After 6 long months in development the Saucy Salamander is finally available to download.**
With a growing user base of some 20 million plus, every update to Ubuntu, no matter how trivial it turns out to be, commands attention. This release is no exception.
But is it an essential upgrade?
Read on for our verdict, or hit the button below to grab a copy and find out for yourself.
**Download Ubuntu 13.10**:[http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/][1]
## “Ubuntu 13.10 Is Boring” - The Internet ##
Ive seen many people tech journalists, bloggers and arm-chair critics alike describe Ubuntu 13.10 as a boring release.
While its true that the Saucy Salamander brings fewer new features to the desktop than previous releases have, there are definite improvements and changes to be found its just that most of them are relatively minor.
Emphasis on most.
**A Dash Full of Things**
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/as2.jpg)
*How much of this is actually useful?*
Unitys new Smart Scopes feature is the big draw of this release. It super-charges the Dash with semantic intelligence, drawing together information from a wide range of online sources for every search you make.
*Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Wikipedia, Weather Channel, SoundCloud* - over 50 web services are queried.
> …unintelligible, irrelevant mess.
On paper the feature sounds helpful: with the tap of a key you can bypass your browser and find whatever it is youre looking for, wherever it may be, right from the desktop.
In practice its less of a help and more of a hindrance. With so many web services offering results for a search term however innocuous it might be the Dash ends up resembling a wall painted in unintelligible, irrelevant mess.
> In its current form the feature fails to trump the browser experience.
There is an attempt at bring order to this chaos. Results are grouped by theme, e.g. Shopping, Music, Video. The Results Filter also helps give some control over the flood of info.
But, quite honestly, in its current form the feature fails to trump the browser experience. Google is smarter at knowing what it is Im trying to find, and presents results in a format that is, visually, easier to browse and filter.
Ubuntu developers say that **results will become more relevant** as the service learns from users, so there is hope.
Turn Scopes Off
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screen-Shot-2013-06-07-at-12.59.jpg)
*Each Scope can be turned off individually*
Switching the Smart Scopes feature off entirely is simple enough, though my tip would be to individually disable the Scopes returning results of no relevance to you. That way you can continue using the feature, but filter out the noise.
## The Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop ##
**Indicator Keyboard**
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/a.jpg)
Whether you need it or not, a new Keyboard Indicator has been added to Ubuntu to make switching between multiple input languages easier.
To turn off the applet head to Text Entry Settings and uncheck the box next to Show Current Input Source in Menu Bar.
**Ubuntu One Login**
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Screen-Shot-2013-08-29-at-20.56.45-750x594.png)
A login/sign-up page for Ubuntu One has been added to the Ubuntu installer, saving the need to configure accounts after installation.
**Performance**
With Unity 7 now sticking around for a lot longer than originally planned (itll be default in 14.04 LTS, due in April) some much needed maintenance has gone on.
While I havent run any benchmarks myself, those who have done so note there are notable performance gains arriving with this release.
The Unity Dash is especially responsive, while Compiz leaves less weight on system resources.
**Applications**
Although the Ubuntu Software Center is on hand for all your application needs, the latest versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice and Shotwell come pre-installed out of the box.
The Ubuntu repositories are also stocked with newer versions of other popular apps, like the [Geary mail client][2] and popular image editor GIMP.
Finally, [GTK3 apps now look better under Ubuntus default theme][3].
## Summary ##
> A solid, reliable release more of a footnote than the start of a new chapter
Ubuntu 13.10 is a solid, reliable release that cements its position as the go to Linux distro for new users and seasoned pros alike.
At face value this release does seem like more of a footnote in Ubuntus history than the start of a whole new chapter. A handful of small, iterative changes, including a more performant Unity desktop, certainly make it a worthwhile upgrade but far from an essential one.

Upgrade To Linux Kernel 3.11.6 In Ubuntu
================================================================================
Ubuntu 13.10 may have been released yesterday but chances are youre still running Linux Kernel 3.11.0. Sticking with the current kernel in Ubuntu 13.10 isnt a bad thing. In fact, its not always recommended to upgrade Linux Kernel outside of your Linux distributions official repositories tested for a particular version.
On the other hand, you should upgrade to the latest Linux Kernel in Ubuntu if it becomes available and if youre not afraid breaking breaking something in Ubuntu. You see, the latest kernel always comes with enhancements, bug fixes and some additional features.
So, if something isnt working quite right on your computer, upgrading the Linux Kernel might just fix it. But keep in mind that you may also break something when you upgrade.
If youre not afraid and want to jump right in with me, lets get started with upgrading to Linux Kernel 3.11.6 in Ubuntu.
First, before you start upgrading, backup your machine because you may never recover if something goes wrong. Better safe than sorry.
Fore more about this kernel version, [read this changelog][1].
When youre ready, run the commands below to upgrade your machine and remove any obsolete packages, including older kernels
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
ext, change into the /tmp directory.
cd /tmp
Then copy and paste the line below and press enter to download the 32-bit version of the Linux Kernel.
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.6-031106-generic_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_i386.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.6-031106_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-image-3.11.6-031106-generic_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_i386.deb
To download the 64-bit version of the Linux Kernel, copy and paste the line below.
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.6-031106-generic_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.6-031106_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-image-3.11.6-031106-generic_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_amd64.deb
After downloading the correct version, run the commands below to begin installing it.

di Disk Information Utility, Better Than df
================================================================================
If you are a Linux command line user, you would have definitely used the df command to check disk usage for file systems. Though df is a popular command but still it does not provide some advanced features like actual disk space that is available to a user, various useful display formats etc. There is another command line utility available that not only provides these advanced features but also all the features that df provides. In this article, we will discuss the disk information utility — **di**.
**NOTE** If you want to more about df, check out [the df command tutorial][1].
### di The Disk Information Utility ###
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/di-main.png)
It is evident from this snapshot of dis manual page that this utility provides some valuable features and hence makes it worth using. Lets try out some practical examples of this utility.
### Testing Environment ###
- OS Ubuntu 13.04
- Shell Bash 4.2.45
- Application di 4.30
### A Brief Tutorial ###
Here are some of the examples of di utility :
**1. The Default Output**
By default di command produces output in human readable format.
Here is an example :
$ di
Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type
/dev/sda6 / 28.1G 20.2G 6.5G 77% ext4
udev /dev 1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% devtmpfs
tmpfs /run 300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% tmpfs
So you can see that the disk usage figures are displayed in gigabytes (G) and Megabytes(M). This is definitely better than the default output that df produces.
**2. Print All Fields Like Mount Points, Special Device Names etc Using A Option**
The option -A can be used to print mount points, special device names etc at full length.
Here is an example :
$ di -A
Mount fs Type Filesystem
Options
Size Used Free %Used %Free
Size Used Avail %Used %Free
Size Used Avail %Used
Inodes Iused Ifree %Iused
/ ext4 /dev/sda6
rw,errors=remount-ro
28.1G 20.2G 8.0G 72% 28%
28.1G 21.6G 6.5G 77% 23%
26.7G 20.2G 6.5G 75%
1884160 389881 1494279 21%
/dev devtmpfs udev
rw,mode=0755
1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% 100%
1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% 100%
1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0%
381805 571 381234 0%
/run tmpfs tmpfs
rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755
300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% 100%
300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% 100%
300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0%
384191 549 383642 0%
So you can see that all the fields — that can also be used for debugging purposes — are printed in the output.
**3. Print All Mounted Devices Using -a Option**
Here is an example :
$ di -a
Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type
/dev/sda6 / 28.1G 20.2G 6.5G 77% ext4
udev /dev 1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% devtmpfs
devpts /dev/pts 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% devpts
proc /proc 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% proc
binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/bi 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% binfmt_misc
tmpfs /run 300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% tmpfs
none /run/lock 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% tmpfs
none /run/shm 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% tmpfs
none /run/user 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% tmpfs
gvfsd-fuse /run/user/himan 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% fuse.gvfsd-fuse
sysfs /sys 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% sysfs
none /sys/fs/cgroup 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% tmpfs
none /sys/fs/fuse/co 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% fusectl
none /sys/kernel/deb 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% debugfs
none /sys/kernel/sec 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% securityfs
So you can see that all the information related to all the mounted devices was printed.
**4. Print Comma Separated Values Through -c Option**
The option -c can be used to print command separated values enclosed with double quotes.
Here is an example :
$ di -c
s,m,b,u,v,p,T
/dev/sda6,/,"28.1G","20.2G","6.5G",77%,ext4
udev,/dev,"1.5G","0.0G","1.5G",0%,devtmpfs
tmpfs,/run,"300.2M","0.9M","299.3M",0%,tmpfs
So you can see that the comma separated values were printed in the output.
**5. Print Size In Gigabytes Through -g Option**
Here is an example :
$ di -g
Filesystem Mount Gibis Used Avail %Used fs Type
/dev/sda6 / 28.1 20.2 6.5 77% ext4
udev /dev 1.5 0.0 1.5 0% devtmpfs
tmpfs /run 0.3 0.0 0.3 0% tmpfs
So you can see that all the size related values were printed in gigabytes.
Similarly you can use -k and -m options to display the size in kilobytes and megabytes respectively.
**6. Display Information Related To Specific File-system Type Through -I Option**
Suppose you want to display disk information related to only tmpfs filesystems. Here is how you can do it through -I option :
$ di -I tmpfs
Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type
tmpfs /run 300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% tmpfs
none /run/lock 5.0M 0.0M 5.0M 0% tmpfs
none /run/shm 1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% tmpfs
none /run/user 100.0M 0.0M 100.0M 0% tmpfs
none /sys/fs/cgroup 0.0M 0.0M 0.0M 0% tmpfs
So you can see that information related to only tmpfs type file systems was displayed in the output.
**7. Skip The Header Line In Output Through -n Option**
If you are trying to parse the output of this command through a script (or a program) and want the di command to skip the display of header line then it can be made possible through -n option.
Here is an example :
$ di -n
/dev/sda6 / 28.1G 20.2G 6.5G 77% ext4
udev /dev 1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% devtmpfs
tmpfs /run 300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% tmpfs
So you can see that the header line was not displayed in the output.
**8. Print A Totals Line Below The List Of Filesystems Through -t Option**
If it is desired to display the totals of all the relevant columns, use -t option.
Here is an example :
$ di -t
Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type
/dev/sda6 / 28.1G 20.2G 6.5G 77% ext4
udev /dev 1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% devtmpfs
tmpfs /run 300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% tmpfs
Total 29.9G 20.2G 8.3G 72%
Observe that the last row consists of the totals of values for all file systems.
**9. Sort The Output Through -s Option**
The option -s can be used to sort the output of this command.
Here is how you can reverse sort the output :
$ di -sr
Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type
tmpfs /run 300.2M 0.9M 299.3M 0% tmpfs
udev /dev 1.5G 0.0G 1.5G 0% devtmpfs
/dev/sda6 / 28.1G 20.2G 6.5G 77% ext4
So you can use the sub-option r along with -s to reverse sort the output.
Similarly, you can do several other types of sorts using -s option. Here is an excerpt from the man page for your reference:
-s sort-type
Use sort-type to sort the output. The out
put of di is normally sorted by mount
point. The following sort flags may be
used to change the sort order: m by mount
point (default); n leave unsorted (as it
appears in the mount table); s by special
device name; t by filesystem type; r -
reverse the sort order.
These sort options may be combined in any
order. e.g.: di -stsrm by type, special,
reversed mount; di -strsrm by type,
reversed special, mount.
**10. Specify Output Format Strings Through -f Option**
You can specify the output format string through a combination of -f option and a sub-option.
For instance, to print the name of the mount point, use -fm.
Here is an example :
$ di -fm
Mount
/
/dev
/run
So you can see that only mount names were printed in the output.
Similarly, to print file system type, use -ft.
Here is an example :
$ di -ft
fsType
ext4
devtmpf
tmpfs
If you want to have a quick look then here is a snapshot of other formatting options available :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/di-1.png)
For complete set of options, refer to the [man page of di command][2].
### Download/Install ###
Here are some of the important links related to di command :
- [Home Page][3]
- [Download Link][4]
The command line utility di can also be downloaded and installed through command line by using apt, yum etc. Ubuntu users can download this command from Ubuntu Software Centre too.
### Pros ###
- Provides many advanced features
- OS independent
### Cons ###
- Does not come pre-installed on most of the Linux distributions
- Lots of option to learn
### Conclusion ###
To conclude, di command provides some very useful features over and above what df command provides. If you are looking for a df-like but advanced disk information related command line utility then di is the ideal choice. Try it out, it does what it promises.
**Have you ever tried di or any other df-like utility? Share your experience with us.**

gcp Advanced Command Line File Copier Inspired By cp
================================================================================
A few weeks back, we discussed [advanced copy][1] (modified cp command that shows progress bar). A reader dropped in a comment pointing out another utility that also provides basic cp command functionality but along with some advanced features. So, in this article, lets discuss the very same command line utility — **gcp**.
### gcp Advanced Command Line File Copier ###
gcp — as the manual suggests — is an advanced command line file copier that is inspired by the standard [cp command][2] but provides various advanced features like progress bar indicator, source lists, continuous copying even if there is a problematic file etc.
Here is a complete list of options :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-main.png)
### Testing Environment ###
- OS Ubuntu 13.04
- Shell Bash 4.2.45
- Application gcp 0.1.3
### A Brief Tutorial ###
Here are some of the examples of gcp command :
**1. Transfer Progress Indicator**
The gcp command provides transfer progress indicator so that the user is aware of the current status of the copying process.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-1.png)
So you can see that the gcp command provides details like complete file size, percentage of copy complete, transfer rate and time left for the copy operation to complete.
**2. Copy Directories Recursively Through -r Option**
To copy complete directories recursively, use -r option.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-2.png)
So you can see that the gcp command shows the transfer indicator taking in account the complete size of the folder.
**3. Elaborate Error Descriptions**
In case of any error, the gcp command displays descriptive error messages pinning down the individual culprit file.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-3.png)
So you can see that the gcp command provided a detailed error message related to the file **August Rush.avi** that was already present inside the destination folder. But an error did not disrupt the copy of other file(s).
**4. Get Detailed Output Through -v Option**
The verbose option -v can be used to keep track of all the details that the gcp command is up to.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-4.png)
So you can see that extended details were provided in output when -v option was used.
**5. Create And Use Sources List**
One of the shining features of the gcp command is that it lets you create a list of source files that you can use later.
For example, I saved the list of source file in the following copy operation using the option **sources-save**.
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-5-1.png)
The list name in this case is **SOURCES_SAVE**. You can confirm the saved list through **sources-list** option.
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-5-3.png)
So you can see that a list named **SOURCES_SAVE** is saved.
Now, I deleted the files that I copied in the first step :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-5-2.png)
and repeated the first step again but without mentioning the source file names. The option **sources-load** was use to load the source file names from the list **SOURCES_SAVE**.
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-5-4.png)
So you can see that the gcp command picked up the source file names from the list **SOURCES_SAVE** and the copy process started normally.
Here are other options related to source file lists :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gcp-5-5.png)
The gcp command provides various other useful options. For complete list of options, read the [man page of gcp][3].
### Download/Installation/Configuration ###
Here are some of the important links related to the gcp command :
- [Home Page][4]
- [Download Link][5]
- [Another useful gcp Tutorial][6]
You can alternatively download and install the gcp command through command line package managers like yum, apt-get etc. Ubuntu users can also use Ubuntu software centre to download and install this utility.
### Pros ###
- Status bar and source lists are the USP of this utility.
- Skips the problematic file(s) but the copy operation is not hampered.
- Usage is similar to that of the standard cp command.
### Cons ###
- While copying folders, it could be better if copy status of each file is displayed.
- Doesnt come pre-installed in most of the Linux distributions.
### Conclusion ###
If you are fed up of waiting blindly while copying large files through standard cp command the gcp is a good alternative. System administrators will love the source list feature. Its a must have utility.
**Have you ever used gcp or any other advanced cp-like command line utility? Share your experience with us.**

ncdu Ncurses Based Disk Usage Utility
================================================================================
uts a few days back, we discussed [gt5][1] (a graphical front-end to du). Continuing with this series of du alternatives, today we will discuss a ncurses based disk usage utility that can be run on a remote server set-up which does not have a graphical environment. The command line utility we are about to discuss is **ncdu**.
### ncdu Ncurses Based du Alternative ###
The command line utility ncdu is nothing but a curses based version of the standard du command. It helps to quickly view the disk usage statistics of a system even if there is no graphical environment installed on it.
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-main.png)
### Testing Environment ###
- OS Ubuntu 13.04
- Shell Bash 4.2.45
- Application ncdu 1.9
### A Brief Tutorial ###
Here are some of the examples of ncdu command :
**1. The Default Output**
Just execute the **ncdu** command and youll observe that first it scans the disk and then displays the disk usage of various directories in descending order.
Here is an example :
**> Scanning**
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-0.png)
**> Output**
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-1.png)
So you can see that a disk usage table is displayed in the output. If you want to scan complete file system, use the -x option with ncdu utility.
**2. Get More Information On Selected Directory By Pressing i**
As you can see that the first entry is selected by default. To know more details related to a selected entry, just press i.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-2.png)
So you can see that the information like Path, Type, Disk Usage, Apparent size etc. were displayed. To get rid of this window, just press i again.
**3. Delete A Directory From Within The ncdu Interface**
To delete a directory from within the ncdu interface, just select the entry and press d.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-3.png)
So you can see that ncdu asks for a confirmation from the user. If you press yes, the directory will be deleted from the system.
**4. Show Percentage Of Total Disk Consumption By Each Directory**
Press g to display percentage of total disk consumption by each directory.
Here is an example :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-4.png)
So you can see that percentage consumption of total disk for each entry is displayed in the second column of output.
**5. Get Help Regarding All The Available Hot Keys**
Press ? to get help related to hot keys, format information and ncdu version related information.
Here are some help snapshots :
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-5-1.png)
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-5-2.png)
![](http://mylinuxbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ncdu-5-3.png)
For command line options and other information, go through the [man page of ncdu command][2].
### Download/Install/Configure ###
Here are some of the important links related to ncdu command :
- [Home Page][3]
- [Download Link][4]
Alternatively, ncdu can also be downloaded by command line managers like apt-get , yum etc. Additionally, Ubuntu users can use Ubuntu Software Centre to download this utility.
### Pros ###
- Quick access to a lot of information
- Light on resources
### Cons ###
- Doesnt come pre-installed on most of the Linux distributions
- Has a bit of learning curve associated with it.
### Conclusion ###

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.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%2016%20marking%20books.png)
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.
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/calibre%20font%20size%20shortcut.png)
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

Ubuntu 每日小贴士:将电脑还原到之前的状态
================================================================================
当我们比较windows和ubuntu时会发现他们各有千秋。在还原到之前状态的能力方面Windows有时可以很好的还原到Windows XP的状态这节省了用户很多时间。与此不同的是Ubuntu并不能让整个系统还原到之前的状态但是你可以对自己的个人文件或文件夹进行还原。
还好多亏了[TimeShift][1]你现在可以像Windows一样将整个Ubuntu系统还原到之前的状态TimeShift也许没有提供Windows上还原的所有功能但至少很接近了。
TimeShift是一款开源应用它提供和Windows上还原系统、Mac上时间机器相同的功能。它会在预定时间对系统进行保存快照处理并通过撤销掉快照之后的所有操作来实现还原
要安装TimeShift你需要使用如下命令来添加其PPA包
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
然后执行下面的命令来升级系统和安装TimeShift.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install timeshift
安装完之后在Dash中搜索到TimeShift第一次启动会花费很长时间来扫描你电脑中的文件和可用空间便于备份。
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/timeshiftubuntu.png)
启动后可以进行偏好设置当然你可以保留默认设置如果你喜欢的话如果你需要备份时可以直接点击菜单上的“备份按钮”当然你也可以使用这个APP对整个电脑进行还原操作。
来试试手吧!

================================================================================
**Lubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) has been officially released and it's now available for download.**
**Lubuntu13.10(俏皮的蝾螈)已经正式发布了,现在可供下载。**
Canonical has announced the release of the final version for its upcoming Ubuntu Linux operating system, including Lubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander).
Canonical公司宣布其即将推出的包括Lubuntu13.10俏皮的蝾螈在内的Ubuntu Linux操作系统最终版本已经发布了。
There aren't too many differences from the previous update, but the distribution comes with a new version of pcmanfm / libfm (1.1.0) including a built-in search utility, artwork improvements, featuring new wallpapers, community wallpapers, new icons, and quite a few other things.
虽然与以前的发布版本没有太大的不同但是此发布版引入了新的pcmanfm / libfm (1.1.0)版本,包含一个内置的搜索工具,新壁纸、社区壁纸性能及新图标艺术观赏性的改进,以及其它一此功能的改进。
The system requirements have remained the same: “A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MB of RAM is probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with a standard Lubuntu desktop.”
硬件配置要求仍然是相同的具有128 MB内存的奔腾II或赛扬的机器是运行此系统的最低配置但要运行标准的Lubuntu桌面环境有可能会非常慢甚至就不能运行。

apt-fast改善apt-get下载速度
===
apt-fast是一个为 **apt-get****aptitude** 的“ **shell脚本封装**通过用每个包的多种连接的方式下载包可以大大改善APT下载时间。apt-fast使用aria2c或axel下载管理器去加快APT下载时间。就像传统的apt-get包管理器apt-fast支持几乎所有的apt-get功能 **install** , **remove** , **update** , **upgrade** , **dist-upgrade** 等等。并且一个显著的特征是它也支持proxy。
**在Ubuntu上安装apt-fast**
使用以下PPA去安装apt-fast。apt-fast开发者说**一些发行版如PCLinux在他们默认的仓库中包括apt-fast** 。”我期待同样包含在Ubuntu/Debian默认仓库中。
添加apt-fast的PPA。在终端中输入以下命令。
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apt-fast/stable
用命令更新源:
sudo apt-get update
使用命令安装apt-fast
sudo apt-get install apt-fast
在安装期间,它将要求你输入下载包的最大链接数。
![](https://github-camo.global.ssl.fastly.net/d9cba93cec82d5f2e442cb462f441df68cca57fb/687474703a2f2f3138303031363938382e722e63646e37372e6e65742f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f323031332f31302f736b40736b2d5f3030332e706e67 )
选择No并继续安装。如果你选择Yesapt-get在任何包安装期间不会问你确认与否。
![](https://github-camo.global.ssl.fastly.net/eae85edd1b18a837ab1603ff06b04011f8cd9ff3/687474703a2f2f3138303031363938382e722e63646e37372e6e65742f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f323031332f31302f736b40736b2d5f303034312e706e67)
我发现 **aria2** 下载管理器已经随着apt-fast的安装而自动安装。所以你不必单独安装aria2。
如果你想重新配置apt-fast选项你可以使用命令
sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-fast
**用法**
与apt-get功能相似我们可以使用
apt-fast install package
apt-fast remove package
apt-fast update
apt-fast upgrade
apt-fast dist-upgrade
更多。
工作中的apt-fast包管理器
![](https://github-camo.global.ssl.fastly.net/45749e25eaaa3663ab07cca0bcbbc22c79885381/687474703a2f2f3138303031363938382e722e63646e37372e6e65742f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f323031332f31302f736b40736b2d5f303035312e706e67)
**创建别名(可选)**
编辑 **~/.bashrc** 文件在末尾添加下面这行。
alias apt-get='apt-fast'
或者简单运行以下命令在你的 **~/.bashrc** 中添加它。
sudo echo "alias apt-get='apt-fast'" >> ~/.bashrc
从现在每当你运行apt-get命令去移除更新和升级包时它将在后台自动使用apt-fast。听起来很酷是的这是必须的。
在测试期间当下载包时我发现它与apt-get相比非常快。试一试你将赞同我。感谢阅读
