Guake 0.7.0 Released – A Drop-Down Terminal for Gnome Desktops
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Linux commandline is the best and most powerful thing that fascinates a new user and provides extreme power to experienced users and geeks. For those who work on Server and Production, they are already aware of this fact. It would be interesting to know that Linux console was one of those first features of the kernel that was written by Linus Torvalds way back in the year 1991.
|
||||
|
||||
Terminal is a powerful tool that is very reliable as it does not have any movable part. Terminal serves as an intermediate between console and GUI environment. Terminal themselves are GUI application that run on top of a desktop environment. There are a lot of terminal application some of which are Desktop Environment specific and rest are universal. Terminator, Konsole, Gnome-Terminal, Terminology, XFCE terminal, xterm are a few terminal emulators to name.
|
||||
|
||||
You may get a list of most widely used Terminal Emulator follow the below link.

|
||||
|
||||
Last day while surfing web, I came across a terminal namely ‘guake‘ which is a terminal for gnome. Though this is not the first time I have learned about Guake. I’d known this application nearly one year ago but somehow I could not write on this and later it was out of my mind until I heard it again. So finally the article is here. We will be taking you to Guake features, installation on Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora followed by quick testing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### What is Guake? ####
|
||||
|
||||
Guake is a Drop Down Terminal for Gnome Environment. Written from scratch mostly in Python and a little in C this application is released under GPLv2+ and is available for Linux and alike systems. Guake is inspired by a console in computer game Quake which slides down from the top by pressing a specially Key (Default is F12) and then slides-up when the same key is pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
Important to mention that Guake is not the first of this kind. Yakuake which stands for Yet Another Kuake, a terminal emulator for KDE Desktop Environment and Tilda which is a GTK+ terminal Emulator are also inspired by the same slide up/down console of computer game Quake.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Features of Guake ####
|
||||
|
||||
- Lightweight
|
||||
- Simple Easy and Elegant
|
||||
- Functional
|
||||
- Powerful
|
||||
- Good Looking
|
||||
- Smooth integration of terminal into GUI
|
||||
- Appears when you call and disappear once you are done by pressing a predefined hot key
|
||||
- Support for hotkeys, tabs, background transparency makes it a brilliant application, must for every Gnome User.
|
||||
- Extremely configurable
|
||||
- Plenty of color palette included, fixed and recognized
|
||||
- Shortcut for transparency level
|
||||
- Run a script when Guake starts via Guake Preferences.
|
||||
- Able to run on more than one monitor
|
||||
|
||||
Guake 0.7.0 was released recently, which brings numerous fixes as well as some new features as discussed above. For complete Guake 0.7.0 changelog and source tarball packages can be found [Here][2].
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Guake Terminal in Linux ###
|
||||
|
||||
If you are interested in compiling Guake from source you may download the source from the link above, build it yourself before installing.
|
||||
|
||||
However Guake is available to be installed on most of the distributions from repository or by adding an additional repository. Here, we will be installing Guake on Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Fedora systems.
|
||||
|
||||
First get the latest software package list from the repository and then install Guake from the default repository as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------- On Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint ----------------
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get update
|
||||
$ apt-get install guake
|
||||
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
---------------- On Fedora 19 Onwards ----------------
|
||||
# yum update
|
||||
# yum install guake
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, start the Guake from another terminal as:
|
||||
|
||||
$ guake
|
||||
|
||||
After starting it, use F12 (Default) to roll down and roll up the terminal on your Gnome Desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
Seems very beautiful specially the transparent background. Roll down… Roll up… Roll down… Roll up…. run command. Open another tab run command… Roll up… Roll down…
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guake Terminal in Action
|
||||
|
||||
If your wallpaper or working windows color don’t match you may like to change your wallpaper or reduce the transparency of the Guake terminal color.
|
||||
|
||||
Next is to look into Guake Properties to edit settings as per requirements. Run Guake Preferences either by running it from Application Menu or by running the below command.
|
||||
|
||||
$ guake --preferences
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guake Terminal Properties
|
||||
|
||||
Scrolling Properties..
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Appearance Properties – Here you can modify text and background color as well as tune transparency.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|

### Conclusion ###
|
||||
|
||||
This Project is not too young and not too old, hence has reached certain level of maturity and is quiet solid and works out of the box. For someone like me who need to switch between GUI and Console very often Guake is a boon. I don’t need to manage an extra window, open and close frequently, use tab among a huge pool of opened applications to find terminal or switch to different workspace to manage terminal now all I need is F12.
|
||||
|
||||
I think this is a must tool for any Linux user who makes use of GUI and Console at the same time, equally. I am going to recommend it to anyone who want to work on a system where interaction between GUI and Console is smooth and hassle free.
|
||||
|
||||
That’s all for now. Let us know if there is any problem in installing and running. We will be here to help you. Also tell us your’s experience about Guake. Provide us with your valuable feedback in the comments below. Like and share us and help us get spread.

Guake 0.7.0 已发布 - 一个用于Gnome桌面的下拉式终端
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Linux的命令行是最好、最强大的东西，它使新手着迷，并为老手和极客的提供极端强大的功能。那些在服务器和生产环境下工作的人早已认识到了这个事实。有趣的是，Linux终端是Linus Torvald在1991年写内核时实现的第一批功能之一。
|
||||
|
||||
终端是个强大的工具，由于它没有可移动的部分，所以十分可靠。终端介于控制台环境和GUI环境之间。终端自身作为一个GUI程序，运行在桌面环境下。有许多终端是适用于特定的桌面环境的，而其余是通用的。Terminator, Konsole, Gnome-Terminal, Terminology, XFCE terminal, xterm都是些常用的终端模拟器。
|
||||
|
||||
您可以从下面的链接中获得一份使用最广泛的终端模拟器的列表。
|
||||
|
||||
- [20 Useful Terminals for Linux][1]
|
||||
|
||||
前几日上网时，我偶遇了名为‘Guake’，它是用于gnome的终端模拟器。尽管这并不是我第一次听到Guake。实际上，我在大约一年前便知道了这个应用程序，但不知怎么搞的，我那时没有写写Guake，再后来我便渐渐忘掉了Guake，直到我再一次听到Guake。所以，最终，这篇文章诞生了。我将给你讲讲Guake的功能，在Debian、Ubuntu、Fedora上的安装过程以及一些测试。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 什么是Guake？ ####
|
||||
|
||||
Guake是应用于Gnome环境的下拉式终端。主要由Python编写，使用了一些C，它以GPL2+证书发布，适用于Linux以及类似的系统。Guake的灵感来源于电脑游戏Quake（雷神之锤）的终端，Quake的终端能通过按下特定按键（默认为F12）从屏幕上滑下来，并在按下同样的键后滑上去。
|
||||
|
||||
值得注意的是，Guake并不是第一个这样的应用。Yakuake（Yet Another Kuake）是一个运行于KDE的终端模拟器，Tilda是一个用GTK+写成的终端模拟器。它们的灵感都来自于雷神之锤那上下滑动的终端。
|
||||
|
||||
#### Guake的功能 ####
|
||||
|
||||
- 轻量级
|
||||
- 简单而优雅
|
||||
- 众多功能
|
||||
- 强大的
|
||||
- 好看的
|
||||
- 平滑的集成于GUI
|
||||
- 在按下预定义的键后出现/消失
|
||||
- 支持热键、标签、透明化背景，这使得它适合所有Gnome用户
|
||||
- 极端地可配置
|
||||
- 包括许多颜色的调色板
|
||||
- 设定透明度的快捷方式
|
||||
- 通过Guake配置，可在启动时运行一个脚本
|
||||
- 可以在多个监视器上运行
|
||||
|
||||
Guake 0.7.0最近发布，它带来了一些修正以及上面提到的一些功能。完整的版本历史和源代码包可以在[这里][2]找到。
|
||||
|
||||
### 在Linux中安装Guake终端 ###
|
||||
|
||||
如果您对从源码编译Guake感兴趣，您可以从上面的链接处下载Guake，并在安装前进行编译。
|
||||
|
||||
然而Guake可以在许多的发行版中通过添加额外的仓库来安装。这里，我们将在Debian、Ubuntu、Linux Mint和Fedora下安装Guake。
|
||||
|
||||
首先从仓库获取最新的软件包列表，并从默认的仓库安装Guake，如下所示：
|
||||
|
||||
---------------- On Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint ----------------
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get update
|
||||
$ apt-get install guake
|
||||
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
---------------- On Fedora 19 Onwards ----------------
|
||||
# yum update
|
||||
# yum install guake
|
||||
|
||||
安装后，可以从另一个终端中启动Guake：
|
||||
|
||||
$ guake
|
||||
|
||||
在启动它后，便可以在Gnome桌面中使用F12（默认配置）来下滑、上滑终端。
|
||||
|
||||
看起来非常漂亮，尤其是透明背景。滑下来...滑上去...滑下来...滑上去...执行命令，打开另一个标签，执行命令，滑上去...滑下来...（作者已沉迷其中）
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guake实战
|
||||
|
||||
如果您的壁纸或活动窗口的颜色和Guake的颜色有些不搭。您可以改变您的壁纸，减少透明度或者改变Guake的颜色。
|
||||
|
||||
下一步便是进入Guake的配置，根据每个人的需求修改设置。可以通过应用菜单或者下面的命令来运行Guake的配置。
|
||||
|
||||
$ guake --preferences
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guake终端配置
|
||||
|
||||
滚动配置

|
||||
|

|
||||
|

### 结论 ###
|
||||
|
||||
这个项目即不是太年轻也不是太古老，因此它已经达到了一定的成熟度，足够可靠，可以开箱即用。像我这样需要在GUI和终端间频繁切换的人来说，Guake是一个福利。我不需要管理一个多余的窗口，频繁的打开和关闭，使用tab在大量打开的应用程序中寻找终端或切换到不同的工作区来管理终端，现在我需要的只有F12。
|
||||
|
||||
我认为对任何同时使用GUI和终端的Linux用户来说，Guake都是必须的工具。同样的，我会向任何想要在系统中结合使用GUI和终端的人推荐它，因为它既平滑又没有任何障碍。
|
||||
|
||||
上面就是我要说的全部了。如果在安装和使用时有任何问题，请告诉我，我们会帮助您。也请您告诉我您使用Guake的经验。在下面的评论区反馈您宝贵的经验。点赞和分享以帮助我们宣传。
