“俏皮的蝾螈”墙纸为你的桌面添加活力
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
2013年10月17日，Ubuntu 13.10即将发行，这将是又一个令人兴奋的功能强大的操作系统，该系统包含许多新的特性和改进，以及设计比赛产生的、默认设计的新的桌面壁纸。
|
||||
|
||||
**俏皮的蝾螈壁纸** 是一组简约风格的桌面环境，它的中心图案由一个活泼的蝾螈组成。
|
||||
|
||||
基本来说，这套壁纸的核心内容是一只在橙色背景上白色风格的蝾螈，同时在壁纸的四个边角添加了白色的圆角，用来衬托这只可爱的蝾螈小演员。
|
||||
|
||||
这样做的结果是：映入眼帘的图案是愉快和安静的，同时橙色的背景也为Dash添加了温暖的色调。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
俏皮的蝾螈壁纸包含有以下几个 **尺寸**：1024x768, 1080x1024, 1366x768, 1440x900, 1920x1080, 1920x1080, 用来满足不同分辨率的需要。

揭秘！：2003年Linux后门事件

==================================

最近Josh写了[一篇文章][1]，讲述2006年Debian Linux中出现的一系列安全bug，探讨了这些所谓bug是否是NSA植入的后门。（最后他作出结论：可能不是）

时间回到2003年，当时Linux使用一套叫做BitKeeper的系统来存储Linux源代码的主拷贝。如果开发者想要提交一份针对源码的修改，就必须经过一套严格的审核过程，以决定这份修改是否能够合并进主拷贝。每个针对主拷贝的修改都必须附带一段说明，说明当中都包括了一个记录相应审核过程的链接。
|
||||
|
||||
但是有些人不喜欢BitKeeper，于是这些开发者们就用另一套叫做CVS的系统，维护了一份Linux源代码的拷贝，这样他们就能随时按自己喜欢的方式获取Linux源代码了。CVS中的代码其实就是直接克隆了BitKeeper中的代码。
|
||||
但是有些人不喜欢BitKeeper，于是这些开发者们就用另一套叫做CVS的系统（译注：Linus一直拒绝使用CVS，后来不得已使用了BitKeeper，并在因某些原因BitKeeper不再让开源社区免费使用后，花了不到一个月的时间自己开发了GIT的原型，并且投入了使用），维护了一份Linux源代码的拷贝，这样他们就能随时按自己喜欢的方式获取Linux源代码了。CVS中的代码其实就是直接克隆了BitKeeper中的代码。
|
||||
|
||||
但是在2003年11月5日的时候，Larry McVoy[发现][3]，CVS中的代码拷贝有一处改动并没有包含记录审核的链接。调查显示，这一处改动由陌生人添加，而且从未经过审核，不仅如此，在BitKeeper仓库的主拷贝中，这一处改动竟然压根就不存在。经过进一步调查后，可以明确，显然有人入侵了CVS的服务器并植入了此处改动。

将用户ID设置为0，这是一个很严重的问题，因为ID为0的用户正是“root”，而root账户可以在系统中做任何事情，包括访问所有数据、修改任意代码的行为，能够危及到整个系统各个部分的安全。因此，这段代码的影响就是通过特殊手段使得任何调用wait4函数的软件都拥有了root权限。换句话说，这就是一个典型的后门。

Ubuntu 13.10 之于 Ubuntu 13.04，给我一个升级的理由
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu 13.10(Saucy Salamander)** 将于10月17日发布，但是这个由Canonical开发的操作系统的用户就有疑问了，新的版本似乎并没有添加多少新的特性，有鉴于此，为什么他们要更新呢？
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical的主要精力花费在提升品质和改进已有的功能上，而不是巨大的变化。这就意味这最近的两个版本不会有很大的不同，至少在表面上看起来是这样的。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.04(Raring Ringtail)，相较而言，令人乏味，但是人们并没有意识到Ubuntu每一次发布的背后都意味着需要完成大量的工作，即使初看起来没有太大的变动。
|
||||
|
||||
那么，对于普通用户来说如果新的版本并没有显著的变更，为什么还要升级到 Ubuntu 13.10呢？事实上,初看起来似乎几乎没什么变化，然而许多东西已经升级改善，总会变得更好的(多数情况下是这样)。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，最重要的一点，这次的发布所带的新的linux内核3.11.x，是目前为止最新的稳定版本。新内核版本支持更多的设备和硬件组件，更好的电源管理性能，还有很多很多其他方面的改善。
|
||||
|
||||
另外，GNOME也升级了。Canonical支持Unity桌面环境，但是仍然使用许多GNOME的软件包。Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) 自带有来自3.8 分支的应用，这些应用都非常棒，对偏好Ubuntu GNOME的用户来说尤其如此。
|
||||
|
||||
相对于之前的Lens功能，Smart Scopes仍然有大的改善：更好的集成并且提供更多的定向解答。
|
||||
|
||||
安全性设置全面更新了，现在用户可以对系统产生的流量有更多的控制。用户可以停止自己的PC或者laptop和Canonical服务器之间的通信。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 也为新的软件包格式奠定了基础。迄今，所有Ubuntu应用都是以deb格式提供的。不过用户需要事先安装相关依赖项，或者用户选择自己单独安装。
|
||||
|
||||
而使用新的Click包类型，所有的依赖项都可以在包本身内部获得，这就意味着, 只要应用开发者使用的是ubuntu SDK, 用户就不会再碰到任何与当前使用版本不兼容的软件包。
|
||||
|
||||
最后，Unity进行了大量改进，理应比任何以前的ubuntu版本工作得更出色。
|
||||
|
||||
如果这些缘由仍然不足以说服你升级ubuntu，那就只有等待Ubuntu 14.04 LTS的发行了。不过不保证新的版本会看起来跟Ubuntu 13.10有多么大的不同。

Are We Witnessing the Decline of Ubuntu?
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
History is written years after the events it describes. But when the history of free software finally is written, I am increasingly convinced that this last year will be noted as the start of the decline of Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
At first, the idea might seem ridiculous or spiteful. You can still find Ubuntu enthusiasts who exclaim over every move the distribution makes, and journalists still report founder Mark Shuttleworth's every word uncritically.
|
||||
|
||||
Community manager Jono Bacon is working hard to develop a community of app developers for the Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system, and occasionally Ubuntu's commercial arm Canonical announces prestige projects such as working with the Chinese government to develop a [national Chinese operating system][1], or being chosen to deliver the [Steam][2] gaming platform to Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Nor can you deduce too much from the fact that Google trend shows a sharp decline in searches for "[Ubuntu][3]." Except for Android and Mageia, the same can be said of other [major distributions][4]. It is true, though, that none of the other distros have declined as sharply as Ubuntu, which is at less than half its height in October 2007, at a low that it has not been at since June 2006.
|
||||
|
||||
All the same, the suspicion remains. Ubuntu and Canonical have isolated themselves from the free software community that Shuttleworth once hoped to lead. In the last year, the community has signaled repeatedly that at least parts of it feel disempowered.
|
||||
|
||||
Worst of all, in the last year, initiative after initiative has failed, and profitability apparently continues to elude Canonical. All these seem like indicators of organizations that are starting into a tailspin that will be difficult to correct, assuming they are correctable at all.
|
||||
|
||||
###Semi-Splendid Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
The last year is a marked contrast to the first years of Ubuntu. In 2005-2007, Ubuntu was the latest and greatest hope for the Linux desktop, and criticism was limited largely to those who felt that Debian was not given enough credit or distrusted the motives of an eccentric millionaire.
|
||||
|
||||
In those early years, Ubuntu did many things to improve usability on the desktop. Probably the most noticeable was the installed support for multiple languages and keyboard locale switching that are now standard in all major distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Gradually, however, Ubuntu and Canonical began to isolate themselves from the mainstream of the free software community. Shuttleworth's proposals that projects coordinate their releases and emphasize usability were largely ignored. Impatient with the speed of development in GNOME -- and, perhaps, seen as an upstart in the GNOME community -- Shuttleworth began the development of the Unity interface, a design project that intrigued him so much that he stepped down as Canonical CEO to oversee it.
|
||||
|
||||
Unity and all its details quickly became the major focus of new Ubuntu releases. If the package versions were sometimes less up to date as they once were, few noticed as Canonical imposed change after change, effectively giving the design team a veto over the Ubuntu community.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet for all the development effort lavished on Unity, the result was an interface that, for all its eye candy, was better suited for mobile devices than workstations or laptops. According to Distrowatch, only [11 distributions][4] default to Unity, although [79][5] are listed as derived from Ubuntu in general. Nor have other major distributions rushed to make Unity available, much less promote it.
|
||||
|
||||
The same is true of [Upstart][6], Ubuntu's replacement for the init daemon, and more recently, [Mir][7], Ubuntu's replacement for Wayland, which other projects see as the upcoming replacement for the X Window System.
|
||||
|
||||
While both remain free-licensed, in practice both Upstart and Mir are controlled by Canonical, mainly through a [contributor's agreement][8] which assigns all rights to the company.
|
||||
|
||||
This control is perhaps one of the reasons why Intel recently [announced][9] that it would not be supporting Mir. In the last four years, Ubuntu and Canonical have gone from welcome members of the free software community to being perceived as mavericks who obey the letter of free-licenses while undermining their spirit. Few, apparently, are prepared to do them any favors.
|
||||
|
||||
###Placing Its Own House Out of Order
|
||||
|
||||
The more Canonical has isolated itself from the rest of the community, the more it has also attempted to control the Ubuntu community.
|
||||
|
||||
This effort is widely interpreted as the result of increasingly determined efforts to make Canonical profitable. Although Canonical is quick to make support and partnership announcements, [these announcements][10] are always lacking any mention of a monetary value -- an omission that, after nine years of running the business, would seem unthinkable if there was any good news to report. But, whatever the reason, Canonical has increasingly imposed its decisions on the community of Ubuntu volunteers without consulting them.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of these decisions have been trivial in themselves. They range from decisions not to support a completely free-licensed version of Ubuntu or a KDE-based version to the repositioning of title bar icons and the introduction of the [HUD][11] menu replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
However, as in many disputes, the issues involved seem less important than the relationships involved. Unlike Canonical, Ubuntu on a daily basis runs much like any free software project, with discussion and consultation the expected norm. The introduction of a hierarchy with Canonical employees at the top and often wielding a veto power would be likely to cause friction even if done politely -- which, often, it has not been. Instead of welcoming debate, Canonical has been far more apt to urge people to stifle it in the name of making Ubuntu a success.
|
||||
|
||||
Matters came to a head in February 2013, with long-time Ubuntu contributors publicly questioning whether they had any role and many considering quitting (although in practice, only one seems to have).
|
||||
|
||||
These first signs of discontent were quieted largely through the diplomatic efforts of Jono Bacon, only to flare up a couple of months later over the [removal of a community link][11] from the Ubuntu home page.
|
||||
|
||||
Again, Bacon managed to smooth things over, and -- so far as an outsider can tell -- the community has been quiet in the months since. However, the longstanding community grievances are unlikely to have disappeared altogether, for the simple reason that Canonical continues to ignore much of the Ubuntu community. A new outburst seems only a matter of time.
|
||||
|
||||
###Lost without a Compass
|
||||
|
||||
Whether Canonical ever believed that the Ubuntu distribution could be profitable is unknown. Certainly, over a dozen earlier efforts to monetize distributions should have warned the company how unlikely the possibility was. But the years spent polishing Ubuntu suggest that Canonical hopes -- or hoped -- to do the impossible. Or perhaps Canonical simply sees a quality distribution as a pre-requisite to grander goals.
|
||||
|
||||
Either way, spending so much effort on Unity seems to have been a distraction. To this day, Canonical appears to lack a business plan that offers any reasonable chance of profitability.
|
||||
|
||||
To some undocumented extent, efforts like online storage, a music store, or corporate ads in the dash may be defraying the costs of developing Ubuntu. However, if together they make Ubuntu profitable, no one is mentioning the fact. Attempts to cut corners by holding developer's meetings online rather than in person suggest a company that is finding ways to cut corners, not one making a profit.
|
||||
|
||||
Just as important, these efforts can create other problems. In particular, the ads on the dash lead to concerns about privacy and to being called spyware by [Richard Stallman][12]. The ads were also a major prompt for community unrest.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet Canonical has taken over a year to [address the privacy concerns][13] -- and, even then, the lack of details means that it is asking users to trust it.
|
||||
|
||||
Other sidelines, like [Ubuntu TV][14], have yet to materialize. Currently, Ubuntu's main strategy seems to be convergence on multiple form factors, but the advisability of trying to break into a saturated market seems dubious. The Ubuntu Touch interface is scheduled to be released in October with the 13.10 environment, but if any phone manufacturers are shipping products with it pre-installed, then Canonical is saving the announcements for the release date.
|
||||
|
||||
Even worse was the [Ubuntu Edge][15] fundraiser, an attempt to crowdfund a cutting edge boutique phone. Had it worked, then Canonical might have established a small niche in the marketplace.
|
||||
|
||||
However, in the end, only forty percent of its $32 million goal was reached. Canonical tried to put a good face on the results, mainly because of the publicity the crowdfunding campaigned produced. But since the result now mean that Canonical has a reputation for failure among potential business partners, the rationale is hard to accept. The failure of Ubuntu Edge has left Canonical's business plans more indefinite and more unlikely than ever.
|
||||
|
||||
###Waiting for the Next Act
|
||||
|
||||
All this is not to say that either Canonical and Ubuntu are about to disappear overnight. Any decline is just beginning, not at the point of no return. The introduction of new faces, or even determined internal reform could still turn Canonical and Ubuntu around. Perhaps listening to the Ubuntu community would be useful as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Still, the problem remains that, after nine years, Canonical and Ubuntu have yet to succeed. Major contributors to the Linux desktop in their early years, they have not even helped themselves with recent innovations, let alone free software in general. Increasingly, the general impression is one of confusion and desperation, which in itself can contribute to the decline.
|
||||
|
||||
Even without reform, Ubuntu and Canonical may continue to glide on their previous reputations, although the Ubuntu Edge campaign suggests that may be less possible as many imagine. But increasingly, Canonical and Ubuntu seem to have been slipping from the position of leadership they had in their earliest years.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether they can reverse their decline or merely accelerate it by panicky half-measures is uncertain, but watching the possibilities play out should make for an interesting next couple of years.

Audacious 3.4 for Linux Review
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Audio players are a dime a dozen on the Linux platform, but only a few of them are actually worthy of carrying this name. Audacious is a very well-known piece of software and one of the few that can be called an audio player.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Version reviewed: Audacious 3.4 **
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious is an open source audio player. A descendant of XMMS, Audacious plays your music how you want it, without stealing your computer’s resources away from other tasks. Drag and drop folders and individual song files, search for artists and albums in your entire music library, or create and edit your own custom playlists.
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Listen to CDs
|
||||
- Simple playlist
|
||||
- Clean interface
|
||||
- Lightweight on system resources
|
||||
- Multiple effects
|
||||
- Numerous plugins
|
||||
|
||||
There is no shortage of audio players on the Linux platform, but the definition of this type of software has been getting fuzzier with each passing year. Developers are experimenting with new things or they are trying to imitate and to copy features from other platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Most players in use today, at least in the major distributions, attempt to be something more than a simple media player. The developers have implemented online radios, podcasts, and even ways of buying music straight from the interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Although innovation is always commendable, some audio players have gone overboard and developers have forgotten whom are they addressing. It's nice to be able to buy music without having to open an Internet browser, but a software shouldn't be centered on this feature.
|
||||
|
||||
We are now taking a look now at Audacious, one of the few “old-school” audio players on the Linux platform that has managed to remain up to date and fresh, but wasn’t compromised by getting all sorts of third-party services.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation ##
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to install Audacious, the hard way and the easy way. The hard way means compiling it from the source and there is no real reason to do so. If you choose to compile it from source, having to install any update in the same manner will prove extremely annoying.
|
||||
|
||||
We’ve installed Audacious 3.4 in Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander), which actually is still in the Beta stages, but has proven to be a stable operating system, with only one exception.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest version of this software is available in the official repositories, and it can be installed via Ubuntu Software Center or with the use of a terminal. As usual, we recommend the latter. Ubuntu Software Center requires login for some of the included software, even if it's free, and it's nice to see what's actually happening during an installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Just open a terminal and enter the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install audacious
|
||||
|
||||
When all the packages have been installed, you can find the shortcut for the player, as usual, by opening the Unity Dash and typing the name of the application.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Good ##
|
||||
|
||||
The main thing I loved about Audacious is the clean, but deceivingly simple interface. Right from the start you will notice that everything has been designed in such a way that you can hardly make any wrong decision.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike some of its competitors (yes, I'm taking about Rythmbox), you won't have to fumble around a way to import a single folder. It doesn't bother users with tons of ways to sort your library and it's not intrusive when it's displaying the metadata of the songs.
|
||||
|
||||
It also comes with a very simple and efficient hover interface, which is really useful when you want to see details about a song, but you don't want to click on that particular item.
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious also comes with three distinct visualization models that take the older users back to the days of “real” audio players, and all can be modified and customized.
|
||||
|
||||
All the other options that you would expect from a media player are available and talking about them wouldn't serve a purpose. You can import playlists, set repeat points, and there's even a very simple and good equalizer.
|
||||
|
||||
One of Audacious’ strengths are the effects included by default, such as Voice Removal, Sample Rate Converter, Channel Mixer, Speed and Pitch, and much more.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of plugins can also be activated from the Preferences, for album art, lyrics, status icon, GNOME shortcuts, and a few others. Please notice that all these plugins are disabled by default and it's up to the user to enable them, leaving the interface clean and nice.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Bad ##
|
||||
|
||||
I might be a bit subjective about this software because I can't really stand overly complicated audio players and Audacious is right up my alley. But, to be fair, I would have loved to be able to add sorting fields for the playlist.
|
||||
|
||||
The application also features a second “Winamp” mode, which should make it look like the Winamp player on the Windows platform. Unfortunately, Audacious crashed every time I would try to activate it, but it might be because of Ubuntu 13.10 which isn't stable yet.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion ##
|
||||
|
||||
If you are looking for an audio player still anchored in the past but also integrating a number of new features, you should look no further than Audacious.
|
||||
|
||||
The software has a simple interface, it doesn't hog any of the system's resources, and it does exactly what it should, without any bells and whistles. Audacious plays music and it does so with without being obtrusive.

Contacts App updated with enhanced avatar support
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
The fresh new next-generation applications of the next-generation Ubuntu are being gradually erected and solidified via a multiple-sided approach, including a set of core applications created by third-party developers mixed with Ubuntu coders and Ubuntu designers, as well as more official applications created by Ubuntu developers and Ubuntu designers.
|
||||
|
||||
As part of the latter, there is Contacts App, too, handy useful application gathering contact-management capabilities into a beautiful interface, where multiple editable fields, fast scroll-through and listed items provide an interesting contact-related application (work in progress).
|
||||
|
||||
[Contacts App][1] has been updated to another feature-adding release, pushing forward its [recently-introduced][2] functionalities, namely, the avatar support for contacts.
|
||||
|
||||
In its previous releases, Contacts App introduced support for avatars selected by the user via Content Hub, feature enriched now with image-display support on the **main view**.
|
||||
|
||||
Meaning, clicking on a contact, hitting the bottom-bar's `Edit` button and adding an image (the actual avatar) via the monochrome icon, adds the image after the `Save` button is clicked; navigating now to the main view, the user is to notice the previously-added avatar on the main view, replacing the monochrome generic icon with the added image.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, the avatar is rendered with round corners beautifying the contacts, round thumbnails generated even if the user selects,--as avatar--, a regular non-square image.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, clicking on the avatar-enabled contact, opens the contact, where the user is to observe the retained image, replacing the now-old generic preview image.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Contacts App is [available][3] for installation/testing via Ubuntu 13.10's Ubuntu Software Center.

Debian 7.2 "Wheezy" Officially Released
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**The Debian project announced the immediate availability for download of the second maintenance release of the Debian 7 Linux operating system.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Debian 7.2 is just a maintenance update, but it does feature a wide array of updates and fixes for the current stable branch and a lot of packages have been upgraded.
|
||||
|
||||
“Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 7 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away older wheezy CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated,” reads the official announcement.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that users who already have a Debian 7.0 or 7.1 installation won't have to reinstall the system all over again. They just need to perform a regular update, as only a small number of packages will be downloaded from security.debian.org.
|
||||
|
||||
Check out the complete changelog in the official [announcement][1].

GTK3-based Twitter App ‘Corebird’ In Development
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Corebird is a Twitter app with an interface reminiscent of Twitter’s [official app](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12%27) for OS X.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird – written by an Arch user – has a look and feature set with GNOME 3.10 in mind.
|
||||
|
||||
The interface uses GTK3, so it’ll feel right at home alongside your other GTK-based apps. Corebird makes full use of the new Header Bars that we highlighted in [our top features][2] from the latest GNOME 3.10 release. The header shows your Twitter handle, avatar, and a button to quickly compose a new tweet, consolidating what might’ve been a separate toolbar into a single, compact header.
|
||||
|
||||
Though the interface may be tuned for GNOME 3.10, the features packed into the app are bound to make friends amongst Twitter addicts using GNOME or otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features ##
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird resembles, in some ways, the official Twitter app for Mac (and that’s a good thing!) and has the feature set to show for it. Retweet, favourite, follow, search, profile view, conversations, media uploads, and a number of other features are all in working order.
|
||||
|
||||
If you manage several accounts, multi-account setups are also supported, though be aware that the latest builds remove configured accounts when you close and reopen the app.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*A Corebird notification on the GNOME lock screen.*
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird also makes use of notifications on the GNOME lockscreen, displaying the number of Twitter notifications when you make your way back to your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The app comes with both light and dark themes, making it easier on your eyes when Twittering at night. A handful of other settings, including which notifications to display and a toggle for showing inline media, are also available in the compact settings dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Get Corebird ##
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re still using 13.04, you might be out of luck. Corebird uses new features from GNOME 3.10 that most likely won’t make their way to Ubuntu 13.04. If you’ve upgraded to 13.10 ahead of its release next week, GNOME 3.10 is already available for Saucy in the sundry GNOME 3 PPAs.
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird is still in development and a PPA hasn’t been made available (though it is currently in the [Arch User Repository][3] if any Arch users have wandered in), so you’ll need to build Corebird by hand.
|
||||
|
||||
The project is a promising sign given the number of other Linux Twitter apps that’ve seen their development slow down – e.g., Birdie which failed to reach its [crowdfunding goal][5] earlier this summer.
|
||||
|
||||
And if Corebird isn’t your cup of tea, check out [gFeedline][6]), another GTK3-based Twitter app.

(runningwater翻译中)How To Upgrade From Ubuntu 13.04 Raring To Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy** will be released on **October 17th**. Hope it will come with lot of improvements and features than Ubuntu 13.04 Raring and the previous versions. Everybody are curiously waiting to see what Ubuntu 13.10 will offer to Ubuntu lovers. Ubuntu 13.10 Final beta is already out a week before.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have Ubuntu 13,04, 12,10 or 12.04 Precise Pangolin or older version of Ubuntu on your system, and want to upgrade to this new release? I know you wish. Just follow the simple steps below, you can easily upgrade from Ubuntu 13.04 to Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy both Desktop and as well as Server editions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Important**: Before proceeding to upgrade, make a **full backup of your data** to an external device (USB stick or CD/DVD).
|
||||
|
||||
**Desktop Upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
1. Update the system before to upgrade**
|
||||
|
||||
Before to upgrade, we need to update the system, press open up Terminal and enter the following commands.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
Now it is time to upgrade to new available version.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo update-manager -d
|
||||
|
||||
Software Updater will open up and will search for the new releases.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After a few seconds You will see screen just like below that saying “**However, Ubuntu 13.10 is available now (you have 13.04)**”.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then click **Upgrade** to start.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Software Updater will ask you to confirm still you want to upgrade. Click **Start Upgrade** to begin installing Ubuntu 13.10.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now the Software Updater will fetch and install the files. It will take a while depending upon your Internet connection speed. Sit back and relax.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After a while you’ll be asked to remove unnecessary applications.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally click Restart to complete the upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now you have latest Ubuntu 13.10 distribution in your system.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Server Upgrade**
|
||||
|
||||
To upgrade from Ubuntu 13.04 server to Ubuntu 13.10 server, do the following steps.
|
||||
|
||||
Install the **update-manager-core** package if it is not already installed:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the file **/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades**,
|
||||
|
||||
sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
|
||||
|
||||
and set **Prompt=normal** as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
# Default behavior for the release upgrader.
|
||||
|
||||
[DEFAULT]
|
||||
# Default prompting behavior, valid options:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# never - Never check for a new release.
|
||||
# normal - Check to see if a new release is available. If more than one new
|
||||
# release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
|
||||
# the release that immediately succeeds the currently-running
|
||||
# release.
|
||||
# lts- Check to see if a new LTS release is available. The upgrader
|
||||
# will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
|
||||
# the currently-running one. Note that this option should not be
|
||||
# used if the currently-running release is not itself an LTS
|
||||
# release, since in that case the upgrader won't be able to
|
||||
# determine if a newer release is available.
|
||||
Prompt=normal
|
||||
|
||||
Now it is time to upgrade your server system to latest version using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the on-screen instructions. You’re done!!.
|
||||
|
||||
You successfully upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10, so what’s now? Check out our new article “**Top Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu 13.10**″. Now you’ll be able to get a full fledged perfect desktop. Cheers!!
|
||||
|
||||
**Please Note: This is a beta release. I recommend you to do not install it on Production environment. The final stable version will be released on 17th, October 2013.**

翻译中by Luox Installing XScreenSaver In Ubuntu
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
This tutorial intention is to show you how to add screen savers in Ubuntu 12.04 (although in other Ubuntu versions) which does not with any screen savers. But, many people new to computers and Linux, don’t know about the screensaver, what is a screensaver?
|
||||
|
||||
A screensaver is a computer program used primarily for security. This program blanks the screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use. A screensaver can also be used for entertainment or to display system status information. It is a very good solution while you plan to leave your office and don’t want anybody to see what you working on.
|
||||
|
||||
**How does a screensaver makes my computer secure?**
|
||||
|
||||
A screensaver can be configured to ask users for a password before permitting the user to resume work, but be careful because if you have set set your account to automatically log in upon startup the attacker will be able to access your account simply by restarting the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to install a screensaver?**
|
||||
|
||||
Fire up a new terminal like shown in Figure 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 1
|
||||
|
||||
Before installing a new screensaver we have to remove the default one. Run the ‘**sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver**’ command shown in Figure 2 to uninstall gnome-screensaver.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 2
|
||||
|
||||
Install XScreenSaver and some additional screensaver packages with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra
|
||||
|
||||

Manage Passwords Securely in Ubuntu with KeePassX
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**With security issues becoming more and more important, the emphasis on secure passwords (as well as other methods like multiple step authentication) has never been greater.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
With that in mind I recently tried out several secure password managers to try and find something secure, but also easy to use and cross-platform.
|
||||
|
||||
First, I went to [LastPass][1]. It’s probably the most known tool for managing your passwords, and since it’s based on the web, it’s the most **cross platform** of them all. However, I found the interface lacking, and the number of tools and options on offer was overwhelming.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, I tried [KeePass 2][2]. While this is a perfectly capable app, very similar to the tool I’m going to talk about in a minute, it doesn’t provide official Linux packages, and the community ports, while serviceable, aren’t the nicest looking apps out there. So I tried other apps.
|
||||
|
||||
My favourite of all those I tested was **KeePassX**. It started out as a Linux port of KeePass, but eventually evolved as its own app. It bests KeePass 2 with a nicer, more native looking interface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using KeePassX in Ubuntu ##
|
||||
|
||||
Conveniently, KeePassX already has packages in Ubuntu available for installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Install keepassx from the command line or **install it from the Software Centre**:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Install KeePassX from the Ubuntu Software Centre][3]
|
||||
|
||||
When you open it, you’ll see a blank window. Use the first button on the toolbar to create a new database. You can either protect it by using key files, or a password. You probably want a password which is quite easy to remember and type — you’ll be typing it in a lot, but on the other hand you don’t want anyone else accessing your database.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, you need to save it somewhere. I saved mine in my Dropbox, so I can access it from multiple locations. Dropbox uses two factor authentication, so if anyone wants to get into my Dropbox to access this database, they’ll also need to have my phone, which makes the process secure enough.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use other services like Google Drive and Skydrive which both use standard [Authenticator][4] apps, or Box which uses SMS for two factor authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, if you’re **really** worried about your passwords, you probably won’t want to save it where other parties can theoretically access it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*The main screen of KeePassX in Ubuntu*
|
||||
|
||||
Using the app is actually pretty straightforward. You can add groups, and into those groups you can add keys. KeePassX includes a handy password generator whenever you need to input a password. I tend to generate my passwords with all the basic characters and special characters selected as well, at 20 characters long, but that of course depends on what the website accepts.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s important to note that some websites don’t always tell you how long a password they’ll accept, and opt to just put a limit on the input box. If your pasted in password doesn’t quite look long enough, it probably isn’t. It’s happened to me a few times.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*KeePassX password generator*
|
||||
|
||||
n my everyday usage of KeePassX, I’ve noticed a few things that should make using it a bit easier:
|
||||
|
||||
**Copy & Paste Paranoia**
|
||||
|
||||
You might be worried about the notion of copying and pasting passwords. It sure is more efficient than typing them out manually. By default, KeePassX clears the clipboard about a minute, but you can shrink this in the settings. You don’t need to be worried about someone else pasting the password and viewing it on your computer. You can also use a feature called AutoType, which types your password automatically, but this is a bit useless since for some reason it puts the password together with the username in the same field.
|
||||
|
||||
**Database Dilemma**
|
||||
|
||||
If you save the database in the cloud, don’t set the password to the cloud service to something completely random. It’s no good having the password to it saved inside the cloud if you can’t access the cloud. It might seem obvious, but it’s not something I originally realised.
|
||||
|
||||
**SECURE ALL THE PASSWORDS**
|
||||
|
||||
Whipping out your phone constantly while at work or school to access your most commonly used accounts can be a pain, so keep that in mind when settings passwords.
|
||||
|
||||
## The future ##
|
||||
|
||||
If you’ve looked into KeePass 2 and KeePassX previously, you might’ve noticed that they use different database formats.
|
||||

KeePass 2 uses a newer version of the format, which offers things like custom fields. Even though KeePassX is not yet ready for the newer .kdbx format, a new version of it is in development which supports this format.
|
||||
|
||||
You can view the new version of KeePassX, with a vastly improved interface below. You can also download it to compile it yourself on [GitHub][6].

|

As I said in the beggining of my post, **I was looking for something cross platform**. This is a great advantage of the .kdb format — there are quite a few apps currently supporting it. KeePassX is also much easier to get running on Mac OS X than KeePass 2, and runs fine on Windows too.
|
||||
|
||||
On Android I use [KeePassDroid][6], which works solidly both on my phone and tablet.

Mark Shuttleworth Thinks Apple Used the Ubuntu Edge Convergence Idea for iPhone 5S
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Canonical's founder, Mark Shuttleworth, has made an interesting statement that ties together the concept of the Ubuntu Egde superphone and the new iPhone 5S.
|
||||
|
||||
A couple of months ago, Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth tried to raise money in order to build a phone that was supposed to be the “Formula 1” of mobile devices. It failed, but he thinks that Apple has taken some inspiration from the concept of the Ubuntu Edge.
|
||||
|
||||
"I think [Ubuntu Edge] may have accelerated the idea of convergence. You saw Apple's description of their new mobile CPU as 'desktop class' and I don't think that's accidental," he said in an interview for [ZDnet][1].
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical's founder may have some inside information that’s unavailable to us, but that’s an interesting speculation coming from someone who has no interest in drawing gratuitous parallels.
|
||||
|
||||
It remains to be seen if Apple follows the convergence path drawn by Canonical's Ubuntu Edge.

Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.6 released with Ubuntu 13.10 support and improvements
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ubuntu Tweak is a powerful, advanced tweaking tool featuring a massive amount of functionalities and tweakable options, permitting an in-depth tweaking of the desktop via a clear, clean interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Font sizes, GTK+ themes, Unity launcher, quicklist editor, kernel removals are among the abilities contained by Ubuntu Tweak, abilities covering the whole of the powerful Ubuntu desktop.

||||
|
||||
[Ubuntu Tweak][1] **0.8.6** has been [released][2], bringing support for Ubuntu **13.10** and, therefore, allowing users to utilize the handy app under the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10.
|
||||
|
||||
The newly-released 0.8.6 version comes with enhanced old-kernels handling,--allowing a more accurate removal of the unwanted kernels from one's system--, as well as with disabled `Application Center` and `Source Center`; navigating now to `Ubuntu Tweak-->Admins` the user is to notice the removal of `Application Center` and `Source Center`.
|
||||
|
||||
The mentioned features, along with bug fixes and removed errors, are part of the newly-updated Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.6.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How do we **install** Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.6?
|
||||
Add the following **official** PPA (Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 13.10)

Weather App updated with subtle color refinements
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Gradually, as seen in the latest months, Ubuntu converged is gaining a massive amount of software, software including under-the-hood services, modern Unity 8, Ubuntu developers-only applications, as well as the [core applications][1], latter being produced by a meaningful collaboration between talented third-party developers, Ubuntu developers and Ubuntu designers.
|
||||
|
||||
During the latest weeks, [Weather App][2] has seen numerous optimizations and refinements, polish effort aimed at delivering a stable version of the weather application in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
Weather App comes with support for multiple cities and a rich range of weather values, values (like for example, Celsius degrees) expressed in relation to predefined colors; for example, the value 20 degrees Celsius is rendered with an orange-to-red color, while lower temperatures are expressed with green-to-gray color tones.
|
||||
|
||||
Weather App has been updated to a minor-yet-interesting release, bringing, along with bug fixes, more dark colors for the vividly-rendered color tones on its views.
|
||||
|
||||
Meaning, high temperatures (such as 20 degrees Celsius) retain the same orange-to-red color, yet, their color vitality has been decreased by eliminating percentages of light, while adding subtle-yet-noticeable dark tones.
|
||||
|
||||
The result: the weather's colors are now more pleasant to the eye featuring more calm colors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How do we **install** Weather App 0.3?
|
||||
Add the following **official** PPA (Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 13.10)

采用Saucy Salamander墙面壁纸包为你的桌面添加活力
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
2013年10月17日，Ubuntu 13.10即将发行，这将是又一个令人兴奋的功能强大的操作系统，该系统包含许多新的特性和改进，以及设计比赛产生的、默认设计的新的桌面壁纸。
|
||||
|
||||
**俏皮的蝾螈壁纸**是一组简约风格的桌面环境，它的中心图案由一个活泼的蝾螈组成。
|
||||
|
||||
基本来说，这套壁纸的核心内容是一只在橙色背景上白色风格的蝾螈，同时在壁纸的四个边角添加了白色的圆角，用来衬托这只可爱的蝾螈小演员。
|
||||
|
||||
这样做的结果是：映入眼帘的图案是愉快和安静的，同时橙色的背景也为Dash添加了温暖的色调。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
俏皮的蝾螈壁纸包含有以下几个**尺寸**：1024x768, 1080x1024, 1366x768, 1440x900, 1920x1080, 1920x1080, 用来满足不同分辨率的需要。

我们正在见证Ubuntu的没落？
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
真正的历史总在事情发生多年以后才会写就。但是，当将来某天自由软件的历史最终定稿的时候，我始终相信，今年，将作为Ubuntu没落的初始之年而被载入史册。
|
||||
|
||||
起初，这个想法可能看起来荒谬可笑或者不怀好意。因为你仍能看到Ubuntu的狂热支持者们在为其每一个发行版的改进鼓掌叫好呐喊助威；记者们也还在谄媚地报道Ubuntu创始人Mark Shuttleworth所说的每一句话；
|
||||
|
||||
社区负责人Jono Bacon正在为Ubuntu Touch移动操作系统开发一个新的应用开发者社区；最近，Ubuntu的商业部门Canonical还公布了一些重大项目，例如与中国政府合作，为其开发[国家级的中文操作系统][1]，以及被Linux基金会选中负责实现[Steam][2]游戏平台等等。
|
||||
|
||||
然而，[Ubuntu在Google上搜索量][3]的锐减趋势也许能说明一些问题。除了Android和Mageia，其他Linux[主流发行版][4]情况虽然与Ubuntu类似，都有所下降，但事实是，即便这样，却没有哪个发行版像Ubuntu一样下降得如此厉害 —— 搜索量还不到2007年10月的一半，为2006年六月以来的最低值。
|
||||
|
||||
一直以来，质疑都在持续。Shuttleworth曾经希望能引领自由软件，但现在Ubuntu和Canonical已经将他们自己孤立于自由软件社区之外。就在去年，社区已经多次暗示，它至少部分感到权利被剥夺。
|
||||
|
||||
最糟糕的的是，去年，Ubuntu发起的倡议一再被否决，Canonical盈利能力也出现了明显的持续下降。所有这些现象，看起来好像其决策层已经陷入一片难以挽回的混乱，当然，如果这些真的可以挽回的话。
|
||||
|
||||
###半途而废
|
||||
|
||||
和去年形成鲜明对比的是Ubuntu的早几年。2005年到2007年，三年间，Ubuntu成为了Linux桌面世界最新最伟大的希望之星，连评论界都鲜见关于Ubuntu的负面文章，在此之前，评论界一直在声讨Debian注资不足或是质疑某个古怪暴发户投资的动机。
|
||||
|
||||
在那些风光的年月里，Ubuntu确实做出了很多努力，大大推进了Linux桌面系统的易用性与普遍性。也许最值得铭记的就是它对多语言环境和键盘区域切换（键盘多输入法？）的支持，现在这已成为各大主流发行版的标准。
|
||||
|
||||
但好景不长，渐渐地，Ubuntu和Canonical开始将自己孤立于主流自由软件社区之外。Shuttleworth的那些美好初衷，诸如项目协作、强调易用性等等，都被严重忽略了。GNOME开发也开始变得急功近利 —— GNOME社区也许认为这是一种进步 —— Shuttleworth甘愿放弃Canonical CEO的职位，也要参与主导开发让他疯狂着迷的Unity。
|
||||
|
||||
由此，Unity以及与之相关的一切迅速成为了新版Ubuntu发布的关注焦点。由于Canonical不断要求完善的压力（很少有人注意到这是跳票的真正原因），有时软件包的开发像之前一样无法赶上发布进度，这样就使得开发团队总是无法得到Ubuntu社区的肯定。
|
||||
|
||||
在这种情况下，开发团队被迫将所有的精力都放在了Unity上，结果就是，华而不实的Unity终于能更好地匹配在移动设备，而不是工作站或笔记本电脑上了。经Distrowatch的统计，尽管有多达[75个发行版][5]是由Ubuntu衍生而来，但其中只有[11个发行版][4]默认采用了Unity。Ubuntu家族尚且如此，其他的主流发行版就更不会采用Unity了，更不要说推动它的发展。
|
||||
|
||||
同样的情况还发生在[Upstart][6]上，Ubuntu使用它代替了init服务；最近，Ubuntu还用[Mir][7]代替了Wayland，而被替换下场的Wayland，正是其他发行版一直看好的X系统的最佳替代者。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu为什么要这么做？Upstart和Mir虽然都保留着自由软件许可，但其实它们都在Canonical的实际控制之下，Canonical主要通过[贡献者协议][8]将所有权利都划归到了公司手里。
|
||||
|
||||
这种控制也许就是Intel最近[宣布][9]它将不再支持Mir的原因。在过去4年里，Ubuntu和Canonical已经从最受自由软件社区欢迎的成员变成了表面遵守自由软件许可暗地里却背道而驰的牛犊子。现在，这个圈子里已经没有人再愿意帮它任何忙了。
|
||||
|
||||
###后院起火
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical将自己孤立得越发遥远，它却越想控制整个Ubuntu社区。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical之所以这样，也许可以解释为这是越来越坚定想努力盈利的结果。尽管Canonical一直在忙于宣布获得了新的合作与支持，但是[这些声明][10]中却总是缺少任何提及合作资金数额的词句。要说这是遗漏了？经过长达九年的商业化运行，很难想象他们会漏掉任何可以报道的好消息。但是，无论原因是什么，Canonical已经越来越多地不经任何商讨，就将它的决定强加给志愿者社区。
|
||||
|
||||
其中的许多决定都是很琐碎的。范围从决定不再支持完全自由许可的Ubuntu版本或者一个基于KDE的版本到标题栏图标的重新定位，以及替换[HUD][11]菜单的介绍。
|
||||
|
||||
其实，在争论中，解决问题并不是最重要的，重要的是解决问题时人们之间的关系。与Canonical不同，Ubuntu每天的运行看起来就像是任何预期中规范的自由软件项目一样，有讨论有商议。而Canonical呢？据说，Canonical公司中的高级雇员经常滥用否决权，即便是礼貌的否定，都可能会导致摩擦 —— 更何况，这种否定还常常是粗鲁的。Canonical已经不再欢迎开诚布公的讨论，而是借着“为了让Ubuntu成功”的名义越来越倾向于扼杀人们的不同意见。
|
||||
|
||||
矛盾积蓄久了终会爆发。经过长时间的公开质问，Ubuntu社区贡献者们的地位仍得不到肯定，2013年2月，许多人开始考虑退出社区（事实上，貌似只有一个人付诸行动）
|
||||
|
||||
表达不满的首次发声很快就被Jono Bacon老练的公关手段平息下来，但也仅仅过了几个月，由于Ubuntu首页上[通往社区的链接被移除][11]，矛盾再次爆发。
|
||||
|
||||
Bacon再一次平息了事态，在局外人看来，这几个月社区似乎重新归于平静。但是长期积累的不满不可能完全消失，理由很简单，Canonical一直都在无视Ubuntu社区。矛盾再次爆发看起来只是时间问题。
|
||||
|
||||
###迷失方向
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical是否曾经相信Ubuntu发行版能够盈利，这我们不得而知。当然，之前无数的教训已经警告了Canonical，为赚钱而生的发行版成功的几率有多渺茫。但是多年来在Ubuntu上付出的努力似乎表明Canonical希望——或者曾经希望——能将不可能变为可能。又或者，也许Canonical只是简单地将一个优秀发行版看作是其宏伟目标的踏脚石。
|
||||
|
||||
一方面，如今看来，在Unity上付出如此多的努力已经是一步错棋。直到今天，Canonical似乎仍然缺乏一个商业计划为其带来任何可以盈利的合理机会。
|
||||
|
||||
至于那些周边产品，诸如在线存储、音乐商店、或者Dash中的合作广告，这些努力可能有助于弥补开发Ubuntu所需的花销，但要说这些东西就能帮助Ubuntu盈利，没人会张这个嘴。而用在线会议代替实际会议，这只能说明一家公司正在寻找削减开支的手段，而不是盈利的方法。
|
||||
|
||||
更重要的，这些“努力”会导致新的问题。其中格外要提到的是，Dash中的广告已经导致了对个人隐私的担忧，甚至被[Richard Stallman][12]称之为间谍软件。这些广告还加重了社区的不满情绪。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical用了一年时间来[解决个人隐私问题][13]，但即使这样，缺乏足够的细节说明它只是想让用户们相信它。
|
||||
|
||||
其他方面，像[Ubuntu TV][14]，仍然没有成形。当然，Ubuntu的主战略看起来正向多样化多元素靠拢，但是尝试闯入一个饱和市场，其合理性仍然值得怀疑。Ubuntu Touch计划于10月份同13.10一起发布，但是如果有手机制造商要搭载预装产品，Canonical还将推迟发布日期。
|
||||
|
||||
更糟的是[Ubuntu Edge][15]投资人计划，该计划打算通过众筹基金打造一款时尚前卫的经典手机，如果能够成功，Canonical就可以在市场中为其建立一个小生态圈。
|
||||
|
||||
然而，最终3200万美元的筹资目标只达到了四成，Canonical对此只能“强颜欢笑”，因为参与众筹的投资者们也确实为产品卖力的宣传了。但是这个结果意味着Canonical在潜在的商业伙伴眼中背上了失败者的名声，现实就是如此残酷。Ubuntu Edge的失败给Canonical的商业计划留下的是更多的不确定性，希望愈加渺茫。
|
||||
|
||||
###拭目以待
|
||||
|
||||
以上我所写的这些并不是说一夜之间Canonical和Ubuntu就会消失。任何“没落”都才刚刚开始，并不是无法挽回。管理层引进新面孔，或者执行内部改革，都有可能让Canonical和Ubuntu重新振作。也许倾听Ubuntu社区的声音也是一个好的选择。
|
||||
|
||||
如果问题依旧，即使再过一个9年，Canonical和Ubuntu也不会成功。Linux桌面那些早年的主要贡献者，他们甚至都没有对自己的代码有所创新，更不要提一般的自由软件了。长此以往，要么困惑要么绝望，都将会加速Ubuntu的没落。
|
||||
|
||||
如果不加以改革，Ubuntu和Canonical也许能改变之前失败者的印象，尽管Ubuntu Edge项目表明这种可能性并不大。但是，渐渐地，Canonical和Ubuntu已经开始失去他们多年来拥有的领袖地位。
|
||||
|
||||
到底是扭转颓势，还是依靠不疼不痒的措施加速没落，这些都是未知数。接下来的这几年会很有趣，充满变数，让我们拭目以待！

Linux平台上的Audacious 3.4回顾
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**在Linux平台上，虽然音乐播放器软件多如牛毛，但是称得上音乐播放器这个名称的为数不多。Audacious是一款非常知名的软件，并且就是这些能被叫做音乐播放器的少数软件之一。**
|
||||
|
||||
**版本回顾：Audacious 3.4**
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious是一款开源的音乐播放器软件。 作为XMMS播放器软件的分支，Audacious播放器可以随心所欲的播放你的音乐，并且不会抢占其他任务的系统资源。 在你的所有音乐库里，你可以进行拖动文件夹和放置私人的歌曲文件、搜索歌手和专辑或者编辑你的自定义播放列表等操作。
|
||||
|
||||
**特性:**
|
||||
|
||||
- 聆听CD
|
||||
- 简洁的播放列表
|
||||
- 清爽的界面
|
||||
- 轻量级的系统资源利用
|
||||
- 多种音效设置
|
||||
- 大量的plugins
|
||||
|
||||
在Linux平台上并不缺乏音乐播放器软件，但每过去一年，这种类型的软件定义变得越來越模糊。开发商正在实验新的东西，他们尝试着模仿其他平台的软件以及从其他平台复制有特色的功能过来。
|
||||
|
||||
今天在用的大多数播放器，至少是一些主要的发布版本，已经尝试着加入一些功能，并不仅仅是一个简单的媒体播放器。开发商已经实现了在线电台、广播，甚至在界面上就可以直接购买音乐的功能。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然这种创新是值得提倡的，但在音频播放器上做的太过火了。开发商已经忘记了这软件的主要作用。虽然不用打开网络浏览器就能购买音乐很不错，但是一款音频播放软件不应该把此功能当作核心。
|
||||
|
||||
我们现在看看Audacious，一款在Linux平台上的“老校友”式的音频播放软件，仍在更新及增加新血液，它不会为了要得到所有第三方服务而改变核心功能。
|
||||
|
||||
## 安装 ##
|
||||
|
||||
有复杂的和简单的两种方式来安装Audacious。复杂的方式即从源代码开始编译安装。没有必要这样做，如果选择从源代码编译开始，用相同的方法安装任意更新将是非常繁琐的过程。
|
||||
|
||||
我们已经在Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)系统上安装了Audacious 3.4。虽然Ubuntu 13.10系统仍然处于测试阶段，但是除了一个异常外它已经被证实是一个稳定的操作系统。
|
||||
|
||||
这个软件的最新版本是在官方资料库已经可用，可以通过Ubuntu软件中心安装或使用终端来安装。通常，我们建议用后种方式，因为Ubuntu软件中心需要一些依赖的软件登录，即使它们是免费的，而且最好看看在安装过程中具体的发生了什么。
|
||||
|
||||
打开终端，输入如下的命令：
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install audacious
|
||||
|
||||
当所有的包都已安装结束，像平时一样，打开Unity Dash，键入应用程序的名称，你就能找到这个播放器的快捷图标。
|
||||
|
||||
## 优点 ##
|
||||
|
||||
我最喜欢Audacious的就是它清爽干净，而不是伪装简单的界面。从一开始，你会发现，一切都已经设计了这样一种方式，你几乎不可能会犯任何错误。
|
||||
|
||||
不像它的一些竞争对手软件（对，我说的就是Rythmbox），为了导入一个简单的文件夹，你将四处摸索此功能所在何处。它不会用各样的排序你的音乐库的方式来打扰用户，显示歌曲的元数据也不是侵入式的。
|
||||
|
||||
它还配备了一个非常简单和高效的悬停界面，当你想看到一首歌的细节，但你不想点击该特定项目，这是非常有用的。
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious还配备了三个不同的可以使老用户回到以前所用的“真正的”音频播放器的可视化模型，并且所有的都可以修改和定制。
|
||||
|
||||
所有你期望一个媒体播放器所具有的其他选项，它都具有，谈论他们不是主要目的。您可以导入播放列表，设置重复点，甚至还有一个非常简单和良好的均衡。
|
||||
|
||||
Audacious的优势之一是默认包括的音效，如去除人声，采样率转换器，通道混合器，速度和间距，以及更多。
|
||||
|
||||
从偏好设置里，大量的插件也可以被激活，如：专辑封面，歌词，状态图标，GNOME快捷键，和其他的等。请注意，所有这些插件在默认情况下是禁用的，他们得由用户手工开启，以便使界面干净漂亮。
|
||||
|
||||
## 不足 ##
|
||||
|
||||
关于此软件的评论，我可能会有点主观，因为我真的不能忍受过于复杂的音频播放器，Audacious正对我的胃口。但是，说句公道话，我曾经是爱过能够添加排序字段的播放列表功能的。
|
||||
|
||||
这款应用还具备第二个“Winamp”模式的特性，这使它看起来像Windows平台上的Winamp播放器，不幸的是，每次我试着激它的时候Audacious崩溃了，但也可能是因为Ubuntu13.10目前还不稳定。
|
||||
|
||||
## 总结 ##
|
||||
|
||||
如果您正在寻找仍挂靠在过去但也集成了一些新的功能的音频播放器，你应该试试Audacious。
|
||||
|
||||
该软件有一个简单的界面，它几乎不占用任何系统资源，没有任何花里胡哨的功能，这也正是它的样子。Audacious播放音乐，就这样，一点也不突兀。

联系人应用已经支持高级avatar功能
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
为下一代Ubuntu设计的新一代软件们正在通过多方面的支持逐步的建立起来，包括了一组由第三方的程序员和Ubntu程序员还有Ubuntu的设计者们一起开发出来的核心软件，同样还有由Ubuntu的开发者和设计者们创建出来的软件。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在官方的开发出来的软件们中有一个联系人应用程序，它非常的容易上手，并且是一个拥有友好界面的联系人信息收集管理程序。拥有许多可以编辑的字段。 快速滚动条 还有被列出来的项目还会提供一个有趣的相关联系的应用（正在研发中。）
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[联系人应用][1]被更新了另外的一个附加的功能，正在展现出来的[最近几个新的][2]功能。也就是所说的 avatar的联系人支持
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在它的上一个版本中，用户可以通过联系人中心选择avatars的支持。现在在主界面中也开始支持图片显示了。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
意思是，点击一个联系人，按下下方的`编辑`按钮来为这个联系人添加一个虚拟的头像在之前单色图标的位置，在点击保存之后那个那个头像就会被保存下来了。之后回到主界面就能够看到之前添加的头像了，之前的单色调的方块图片被我们替换成刚刚添加的图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
此外，avatar可以将四角变成圆角，用于美化联系人的显示。如果用户选择的话甚至可以同时将缩略图也美化成圆角的，其实对于avatar来说，一般情况都是采用没有棱角的图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
还有更多的功能呦~点击那些已经开启avatar的联系人。点开联系人，在用户查看之前保存图片的地方，可以新的图片替换掉就 图片。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
联系人应用已经[可以][3]在Ubuntu13.10的 Ubuntu软件中心中找到了，并且可用用来安装使用或者用来做测试。

正在开发中基于GTK3的Twitter应用“Corebird”
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Corebird是一个Twitter应用，它的界面让人想到了Twitter在OS X上的[官方应用](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12%27)。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird是由一个Archlinux用户开发的，它具有GNOME 3.10的外观和功能集。
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird的界面使用GTK3开发，因此当你把它放在其他的GTK应用旁边时，Corebird会感觉在家一样。Corebird充分利用了最新版GNOME 3.10 release的新标题栏，这正是GNOME 3.10 release所强调的顶级功能。Corebird的标题栏展示了你的Twitter，头像，以及一个快速编写微博文章的按钮。这把本该是单独的工具栏整合为了一个紧凑，简洁的标题。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然Corebird的界面可能是为了GNOME 3.10而设计，但Corebird具备的功能是要让所有的Twitter用户之间交友，无论你是使用GNOME或是其他桌面环境。
|
||||
|
||||
## 功能 ##
|
||||
Corebird在某些方面与Mac的官方Twitter应用相似（这当然是好事！），而且它有一套功能集来充分展现Twitter。转发，喜爱，收听，搜索，个人资料查看，会话，音视频上传，以及其他的一系列功能都可以正常使用。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你管理着几个帐号，多帐号设置也是支持的，但是要注意，在最新的版本中，重新打开Corebird后，你之前配置的账户都会被移除。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*GNOME锁屏时的Corebird提醒*
|
||||
|
||||
在GNOME锁屏时，Corebird也会有提醒，当你回到电脑前，它会提示你有多少个Twitter提醒。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird有浅色的主题，也有深色的主题，这当然是为了让你晚上玩Twitter时眼睛更舒服。Corebird还有一些其他的设置选项，包括显示哪些提醒，是否显示微博内的音视频等，你可以在设定对话框中进行设置。
|
||||
|
||||
## 如何获取Corebird ##
|
||||
如果你还在使用Ubuntu 13.04，非常不走运，Corebird使用了GNOME 3.10的新功能，因此Ubuntu 13.04并不支持。如果你把系统升级为13.10（下周将发布release版本），你就可以在Saucy（13.10的代号简称）的GNOME 3 PPA中体验GNOME 3.10了。
|
||||
|
||||
Corebird仍在开发当中，而且PPA也还没有（Corebird已经在[AUR][3]里建了仓库，Archlinux用户进去逛过就会知道），因此，你要使用Corebird就必须手动编译了。
|
||||
|
||||
这个项目给了那些开发逐渐慢下来的Linux Twitter应用一个希望的信号，例如，Birdie在今年的夏天没有达成它的[crowdfunding][4]目标。
|
||||
|
||||
如果Corebird不是你的菜，去看看[gFeedline][5]，另一个基于GTK3的Twitter应用。

以前在Ubuntu安装主题、图标甚至是鼠标光标，那叫一个麻烦，但是近几年这事变得容易多了。想要安装新的图标，只需要输入几条命令就行。

在开始之前，请注意一下。本文使用的PPA(Personal Package Archives)只能在Ubuntu 12.04上运行。这是因为，在复制iOS的图标时候是在Ubuntu 12.04版本上建立的。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，正如开始提到的，这些图标可以在Ubuntu 13.04 和 Ubuntu 13.10上使用，只是需要改变一点小小的操作。
|

||||
除此之外，你需要一个小软件使这些图标生效。我们推荐使用GNOME Tweak Tool，当然你也可以根据自己的习惯选择。

Mark Shuttleworth认为苹果5S使用了Ubuntu Edge收敛的创意
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Canonical公司的创始人Mark Shuttleworth通过这一有趣的说法将Ubuntu Egde智能手机与iPhone 5S联系了起来。
|
||||
|
||||
几个月前，Canonical和Mark Shuttleworth尝试筹资来推出一款手机，该手机被认为是手机中的“F1赛车”。虽然失败了，但是他认为苹果已经从这款手机（Ubuntu Edge）的概念中获得了灵感。
|
||||
|
||||
“我认为[Ubuntu Edge]可能加速了收敛的概念，你看苹果描述他们的新的CPU为‘桌面级’的，我认为这并不是偶然。”他在接受[ZDnet][1]采访时这么说。
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical公司的创始人可能有一些我们不能获得的内部消息，但是这是一个对无缘无故将事情相提并论完全不感兴趣的人的有趣的推断。
|
||||
|
||||
苹果是否会按照Canonical的Ubuntu Edge手机描绘的收敛性发展还有待观察。

Ubuntu 13.10 vs. Ubuntu 13.04: Reasons to Upgrade

**Ubuntu 13.10(Saucy Salamander) 于8月17日发布，但是来自之前Canonical操作系统的用户就有疑问了，新的版本似乎并没有添加多

少新的特性，有鉴于此，为什么他们要更新呢。

Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)，相较而言，令人乏味，但是人们并没有意识到Ubuntu每一次发布的背后都意味着需要完成大

量的工作,即使初看起来没有太大的变动。
|
||||
|

那么，对于普通用户来说如果新的版本并没有显著的变更，为什么还要升级到 Ubuntu 13.10呢？事实上,初看起来似乎几乎没什

||||
么变化，然而许多东西已经升级改善,这就很好啊(多数情况下是这样)。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，最重要的一点，发布新的linux内核3.11.x，是目前为止最新的稳定版本。新内核版本支持更多的设备和硬件组件，更好的

电源管理性能，还有很多很多其他方面的改善。
|
||||
|

GNOME 也可以升级了。Canonical 支持 Unity 桌面环境，但是任然使用许多GNOME的包。Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) 自带
|

有来自3.8 分支的应用，这些应用都非常棒,对偏好Ubuntu GNOME的用户来说尤其如此。

安全性设置全面检修，现在用户可以对系统产生的流量有更多控制权。用户可以停止自己的PC或者laptop和Canonical服务器之间
|
||||
的通信。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 也为软件包格式奠定了基石。迄今，所有Ubuntu应用都是以deb格式提供的。不过用户需要事先安装相关依赖项，
|
||||
或者用户选择自己单独安装。
|
||||
|
||||
使用新的点选模式, 所有的依赖项都可以同多包本身获得，这就意味着, 只要应用开发者使用的是ubuntu SDK, 用户就不会再碰到
|
||||
任何与当前使用版本不兼容的软件包。
|
||||
|
||||
最后，Unity得以大量改善，理应比任何以前的ubun版本工作得更出色。
|
||||
|
||||
如果这些缘由仍然不足以说服你升级ubuntu，那就只有等待Ubuntu 14.04 LTS的发行了。不过不保证新的版本会看起来跟Ubuntu
|
||||
13.10有多么大的不同。

天气预报软件有了细微的颜色改进
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
正如最近几个月所见，Ubuntu渐渐汇聚的是获得了大量的软件，这些软件涵盖了底层的系统服务，新的Unity 8界面程序和Ubuntu开发人员专用的应用程序，另外还有一些正由能力较强的第三方开发者、Ubuntu开发者和Ubuntu设计者通力合作来联合生产的[核心的应用][1]程序。
|
||||
|
||||
最近几周，[天气预报软件][2]已经有了很多的优化和改进,这些使该软件日趋完美的努力是为了在不久的将来提供一个稳定版本的天气预报应用。
|
||||
|
||||
天气预报应用程序自身支持多城市和丰富的天气值，这些天气值(比如说摄氏度)的表达和预先设定的颜色有关；比如，20摄氏度就用桔红色表示，而比较低的温度则用灰绿色表示。
|
||||
|
||||
现在，天气预报应用已经更新到了一个小而有趣的版本，该版本不仅修复了一些bug，同时也为在视觉上生动地渲染色调方面带来了更多的暗颜色。
|
||||
|
||||
也就是说，高温（比如20摄氏度）仍然是与以前一样的桔红色，但是其色彩的生动性因消除了光线的百分比而降低了，同时也添加了细微但明显的暗色调。
|
||||
|
||||
以更多冷色调为特点的天气颜色比以前更加赏心悦目了。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
那么我们如何安装天气预报软件3.0呢？
|
||||
|
||||
添加下面的官方PPA（Ubuntu 13.04，Ubuntu 13.10）就可以了。
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk ubuntu-weather-app
