[125011560020] |Welcome to Maverick Meerkat Alpha 1, which will in time become Ubuntu 10.10.
[125011560030] |Pre-releases of Maverick are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage.
[125011560040] |They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.
[125011560050] |Alpha 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Maverick development cycle.
[125011560060] |The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Maverick.

[125011570010] |<title>How to install Neatx (Similar to FreeNX) server on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)</title>
[125011570020] |Neatx is an Open Source NX server, similar to the commercial NX server from NoMachine.
[125011570030] |<strong>What Works</strong>
[125011570040] |* Session creation
[125011570050] |* Session suspension
[125011570060] |* Session resumption
[125011570070] |* Session shutdown
[125011570080] |* Gnome/KDE/Application/Console sessions
[125011570090] |* Floating Window/Virtual Desktop sessions
[125011570100] |* Fullscreen/Resolution/Keyboard preferences
[125011570110] |* Session shadowing (though only sessions belonging to you)
[125011570120] |<strong>What Doesn’t Work</strong>
[125011570130] |* Terminating a session from the session list
[125011570140] |* Windows/VNC sessions
[125011570150] |* Sound, printer tunneling, Samba tunneling
[125011570160] |* Local session sharing
[125011570170] |* Load balancing
[125011570180] |<strong>Install Neatx server on Ubuntu 10.04</strong>
[125011570190] |Open your terminal
[125011570200] |Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[125011570210] |and type in this command
[125011570220] |sudo apt-get install python-software-properties &&sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
[125011570230] |Then Update Apt
[125011570240] |sudo apt-get update
[125011570250] |At this point, the repository is added and apt is updated, then install the neatx-server package (using Aptitude to install extra needed packages).
[125011570260] |sudo apt-get install neatx-server
[125011580010] |<title>How to Recording Internal Audio in Ubuntu</title>
[125011580020] |This how-to should show the steps required to record whatever audio is playing on your computer, similar to recording “stereo mix” in windows.
[125011580030] |This makes recording audio played by any application, including flash videos, possible.
[125011580040] |We are using the Sound Recorder application that comes in standard Ubuntu installations.
[125011580050] |To set this up using other programs (like audacity) just substitute it in these instructions.
[125011580060] |1. Install pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) using apt-get or the Ubuntu Software Center.
[125011580070] |2. Open PulseAudio Volume Control.
[125011580080] |It should be in the applications menu under Sound and Video.
[125011580090] |3. Open Sound Recorder and start recording.
[125011580100] |Playing any sound at this point would be helpful, as your level indicator should react once you have finished.
[125011580110] |4. Go to the “Recording” tab in the PulseAudio Volume Control window.
[125011580120] |5. Make sure that “Applications” is selected in the drop down menu on the “Recording” tab.
[125011580130] |6. Choose “Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Atereo” from the “Record Stream from” menu in the Sound Recorder entry of the application list.
[125011580140] |This appears to be persistent so that you will only have to do this once, but you will have to repeat these steps to record in another application.

[125011800020] |Are you like me and have multiple Ubuntu machines under one roof?
[125011800030] |Are you tired of downloading the same update multiple times?
[125011800040] |Sick of what seems to be duplicate work?
[125011800050] |Let me introduce you to my little friend… squid-deb-proxy.
[125011800060] |Squid-deb-proxy is a new package for Ubuntu 10.04, and it’s designed to make your life easier and allow faster updates if you manage more than one Ubuntu machine.
[125011800070] |Conceptually, squid-deb-proxy consists of two pieces, a client and a server.
[125011800080] |The server package is “squid-deb-proxy” and the client package is “squid-deb-proxy-client”.
[125011800090] |The “squid-deb-proxy” server package is basically a squid caching server, with an out-of-the box configuration that allows it to cache .deb packages and make them accessible to the local area network.
[125011800100] |The “squid-deb-proxy-client” package is basically an include file to your standard apt configuration that makes apt aware of the squid-deb-proxy.
[125011800110] |To install the server, simply “sudo apt-get install squid-deb-proxy avahi-tools” on the machine that you wish the server to be on.
[125011800120] |This will install the squid caching server and the avahi (Bonjour) auto-configuration network utilities, and start both servers, so your new caching squid proxy will start broadcasting its availability on your network.
[125011800130] |Then, a “sudo apt-get install squid-deb-proxy-client” on each Ubuntu 10.04 machine (including the squid-deb-proxy server) will install the apt configuration.
[125011800140] |You’ll want to install the client on the server as well, so whenever the server downloads updates those updates get cached by the squid proxy.
[125011800150] |This will also allow the server to install already-fetched updates via the proxy.
[125011800160] |Once this is done, squid-deb-proxy is transparent to the user.
[125011800170] |Each machine’s apt program will look on the network for a squid-deb-proxy, and if it finds one, it’ll pass its requests through that.
[125011800180] |The proxy will cache any .deb packages that come through it, and make them available for the next update client that needs them.
[125011800190] |The second client to request these same updates will pull them down from the squid proxy, rather than having to get them from the Internet.
[125011800200] |You get the benefit of a local repository without the hassle of setting one up!
[125011800210] |<a>Full Story</a>
[125011810010] |<title>Boot-Up Manager (BUM) - Graphical runlevel editor</title>
[125011810020] |The scripts located in /etc/init.d are part of the bootup sequence of every Debian-like distro.
[125011810030] |Very often Ubuntu’s documentation and guides have suggested - in order to deactivate init scripts - to change the permissions of the scripts in /etc/init.d, making them non-executable.
[125011810040] |This will have the following consequences:
[125011810050] |* You’ll get an error message at boot time (to avoid it you need to patch all the scripts);
[125011810060] |* You are breaking the logical chain stated in debian-policy concerning runlevel configuration.
[125011810070] |If the logic of a debian-like system boot up sequence is not very clear and familiar to you, you should not play with symlinks, permissions, etc.
[125011810080] |In order to avoid messing up your system, Boot-Up Manager will automate all of your configuration in a nice and clean graphical interface.
[125011810090] |Boot-Up Manager is a Perl-Gtk2 application to handle runlevels configuration of any debian derivative system.
[125011810100] |With this program the user will easily start and stop boot-up scripts, without the necessity to handle thru complex links and permissions.
[125011810110] |Boot-Up Manager has been developed and tested on Ubuntu, but as it only relies on Perl-Gtk2 libraries, it can be run on any Debian-like system.

[125011860010] |<title>Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) changes</title>
[125011860020] |Ubuntu Lucid was released in April and the next release of the popular Linux operating system is now looming large.
[125011860030] |Planned for final release in October this year, Ubuntu 10.10, otherwise known as Maverick Meerkat, is already available as an alpha release.
[125011860040] |The alpha release doesn’t yet include many of the features that are planned for the final version and many of those that are included are still in the dearly development stages.
[125011860050] |<strong>Better sound management</strong>
[125011860060] |One of the major things to look forward to in the Maverick Meerkat are better sound controls.
[125011860070] |Sound on Linux has been a major stumbling block over the past few years with a confusion of tools available to manage sound output from applications.
[125011860080] |Ubuntu 10.04, the current release, went some way to improving these issues and included per-application control over sound, but the plans for 10.10 are a little more ambitious.
[125011860090] |The plans for 10.10 are not only to enable per-application control for each sound action on the desktop but for the drop-down volume control to act more like a “remote control” for all audio applications.
[125011860100] |So, for example, the drop-down sound panel will not only display a volume slider but also list the title, run time etc of currently playing songs.
[125011860110] |This will initially include only support for the Rhythmbox audio player and will also include control buttons (stop, play, skip etc) in the drop down volume box.
[125011860120] |The drop-down will probably also include a place for album art.
[125011860130] |<strong>Gnome desktop</strong>
[125011860140] |One thing that will be missing in Ubuntu 10.10 will be the full Gnome 3.0 desktop.
[125011860150] |Although version 3.0 is expected to be released by the time Ubuntu 10.10 is released, Ubuntu chief Mark Shuttleworth has already said that the developers will treat the next-generation desktop with caution.
[125011860160] |This doesn’t mean that all of the changes being built into Gnome 3.0 will be absent from Ubuntu 10.10, just that some will be included by default and some will be optional extras.
[125011860170] |At this point it looks likely that Ubuntu 10.10 will include the Gnome 3.0 platform but will not include by default all of the interface changes.
[125011860180] |So things such as GnomeShell, the new way to work with files and applications, will be included as an optional extra.
[125011860190] |<strong>Application changes</strong>
[125011860200] |With each new release of Ubuntu decisions are made about the default applications that are included in the release.
[125011860210] |This time around the major changes proposed as far as default applications go are that Firefox remains the default browser for the desktop release but that Google’s Chromium is used for the Ubuntu Netbook Release version.
[125011860220] |The default image editor with the release of Maverick will be the Shotwell application.

[125011880020] |Gnaural is an opensource programmable auditory binaural-beat generator, implementing the principle as described in the October 1973 Scientific American article “Auditory Beats in the Brain” by Gerald Oster.
[125011880030] |The central theme of Oster’s article was that processing of binaural beats involves different neural pathways than conventional hearing.
[125011880040] |Research inspired by the article went on to show that among other things, binaural beats could be used to induce a “frequency-following response” (FFR) in brainwave activity.

[125011900010] |<title>How to add an icon to apps in Ubuntus’ Application-menu that only show a generic icon</title>
[125011900020] |Have you ever installed an application “manually” (not via Synaptic or Update-Manager, but by compiling it yourself and using some kind of installer-script for example)?
[125011900030] |And were you annoyed that only a generic icon was shown in Ubuntus’ Applications-menu?
[125011900040] |If so, this tip is for you.
[125011900050] |I will take the application named “RSSOwl” as an example.
[125011900060] |The first thing we have to do is to open this folder:
[125011900070] |~/.local/share/applications
[125011900080] |Here we find a lot of files and some with a name ending with “.desktop”.
[125011900090] |These are textfiles and therefore can be opened via any texteditor (like gedit).
[125011900100] |But when we do a doubleclick, the appliction representing the file (in this case RSSOwl) will be opened, so we have to open the file by dragging it onto an opened gedit-window (actually, this was the only way I was able to open it, as this file wasn’t shown in gedits’ file-requester.
[125011900110] |The problem that came up with this solution was that gedit showed that files’ name as “alacarte-made-3.desktop”.
[125011900120] |I can’t say why this happened and the edited file got saved with the original filename as well (when I went on editing) a backup-file with that strange filename was saved.
[125011900130] |When we open the file named “RSSOwl” with gedit, we see this: (username is replaced with ###):
[125011900140] |#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[125011900150] |[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Icon[en_US]=gnome-panel-launcher Name[en_US]=rssOwl Exec=/home/###/apps/rssowl/RSSOwl Name=rssOwl Icon=gnome-panel-launcher
[125011900160] |The interesting parts are the lines starting with “Icon”.
[125011900170] |There are two, the first being language-specific, the other being generic.
[125011900180] |These lines have to be edited like described below.
[125011900190] |But for that we first have to find an appropriate icon.
[125011900200] |And a good place to find one is the path that is found in the line starting with “Exec=”.
[125011900210] |If we look into that folder, we will find a file named “icon.xpm”.
[125011900220] |To actually use that icon, we have to replace this line:
[125011900230] |Icon[en_US]=gnome-panel-launcher
[125011900240] |with this (### should be replaced with your username):
[125011900250] |Icon[en_US]=/home/###/apps/rssowl/icon.xpm
[125011900260] |We have to do this with all lines starting with “Icon”.
[125011900270] |To be 100% correct, it would probably be sufficient, if we would only change the line starting with “Icon[en_US]=”, if we would only use one language all the time.
[125011900280] |But if we change all the lines, we can be sure that the same icon is used, regardless which language is activated in Ubuntu.
[125011900290] |Anyhow, after saving this file, we should see the appropriate icon for “RSSOwl” within Ubuntus’ “Applications/Programming”-submenu

[125011910020] |Transmission is a cross-platform BitTorrent client that is: Free and Community-Driven.
[125011910030] |Transmission differs from bigger clients like ?Torrent, Vuze, and BitComet in that it is volunteer-based, open source, and noncommercial.
[125011910040] |There is no payware version as with Vuze Plus.
[125011910050] |We don’t bundle toolbars, adware, DNA, or anything else.
[125011910060] |If we did, someone else would fork the project and strip it back out.
[125011910070] |So what you see is what you get -- and if you’d like to check under the hood to see for yourself, the source code is available for anyone to read.
[125011910080] |If you’re a programmer, translator, tester, web designer, graphic artist, or a regular person who wants to help, we happily welcome volunteers. <img/>
[125011910090] |Easy.
[125011910100] |Transmission is designed to for easy, powerful use.
[125011910110] |We’ve set the defaults to “Just Work” and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface.
[125011910120] |When Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve.
[125011910130] |Lean.
[125011910140] |Transmission has the lowest memory footprint of any major BitTorrent client.
[125011910150] |Imageshack chose Transmission for its BitTorrent farms because the competition “requires amounts of memory several times greater than Transmission”.
[125011910160] |The headless version of Transmission is the client of choice on low-memory hardware, leading many users to install it on their routers to leave running 24/7.
[125011910170] |Some commercial devices ship with it preinstalled.
