[125012340020] |cdck (CD/DVD check tools) is a simple console program to verify CD/DVD quality.
[125012340030] |The known fact is that even if all files on the disc are readable, some sectors having bad timing can easily turn into unreadable ones in the future.
[125012340040] |To get an idea about a disc cdck reads it sector by sector, keeping all reading timings and then tells you its verdict.
[125012340050] |Optionally it can write the timing table into text file usable by gnuplot program, so you can draw some graphs out of it.
[125012340060] |<strong>Install cdck in ubuntu</strong>
[125012340070] |sudo apt-get install cdck

[125012390030] |Obsolete, but it’s my first gadget from that I have <img/>
[125012390040] |Because iPod can play audio files with <code>*.mp3</code> and <code>*.m4a</code> format, and then how to convert audio files from <code>*.mp3</code> to <code>*.m4a</code> since <code>*.m4a</code> is the most common format used today?
[125012390050] |Just use Nautilus Script Audio Converter, very simple!
[125012390060] |Run this command to install it:
[125012390070] |sudo apt-get install wavpack mppenc libmpcdec3 faac flac vorbis-tools faad lame nautilus-script-audio-convert

[125012390110] |Simple, just “right click” on audio file(s) you want to convert and choose <code>Scripts ? Audio files converter</code>.
[125012390120] |In the next pop-up, you’ll prompted to select output format:
[125012390130] |Select output format and OK (int this case, choose <code>aac)</code>.
[125012390140] |Next pop-up:

[125012390180] |And converting <img/>
[125012390190] |DONE!!!
[125012390200] |You’ll see <code>*.aac</code> audio file(s) in same folder with original file(s).

[125012410010] |<title>Canonical, IBM plunk DB2 databases on Ubuntu</title>
[125012410020] |Commercial Linux distributor Canonical has won the buzzword bingo for the week by putting Ubuntu, cloud, and appliance in the same sentence in announcing a partnership with IBM.
[125012410030] |It’s meant to bring the latter company’s DB2 databases to the latest Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition Linux.
[125012410040] |The deal has two parts.
[125012410050] |First, Canonical has taken IBM’s DB2 Express-C database, which is a lightweight relational database with PureXML integrated XML features like the real DB2 databases, and hardened it for Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition and wrapped it all up in a loving Amazon Machine Image (AMI) format so it can be deployed on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) utility.
[125012410060] |According to Neil Levine, vice president of commercial services at Canonical, the Linux distributor thinks that getting a basic database certified for Ubuntu on EC2 is a key to getting IT shops to eventually deploy Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, a clone of Amazon EC2 based on Ubuntu and the open source Eucalyptus cloud framework that sports KVM hypervisors and supports Amazon’s APIs for EC2.
[125012410070] |The DB2 Express-C image can be deployed on the Amazon public could or on a private cloud based on UEC, despite the fact that Amazon runs its cloud on a home-tweaked Xen hypervisor.
[125012410080] |“The developers are the ones really starting out on Amazon today, and they are figuring out what works and what does not,” says Levine.
[125012410090] |The DB2 Express-C appliance running on Ubuntu helps them get an image up and running on EC2 in a couple of clicks, and for the low, low price of zero that developers love.
[125012410100] |(DB2 Express-C is not open source, but it is freely distributed by IBM.
[125012410110] |Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition is freely distributed.)

[125012430020] |VLC Media Player is a long-time open-source favorite, and the latest version is also the first to be out of beta development.
[125012430030] |It’s not the only option for free video playback, but it’s one of the best, and the feature updates in version 1 make it well worth the upgrade.
[125012430040] |Users can now get frame-by-frame advancement, granular speed controls allowing for on-the-fly slower or faster playback, and live recording of streaming video.
[125012430050] |The toolbars are fully customizable, so you can have only the buttons you need in the interface, there’s AirTunes streaming, and there’s better integration in Gtk environments.
[125012430060] |Along with the improvements, VLC continues to offer robust support for a wide range of video and audio formats, including OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, HD codecs like AES3, Raw Dirac, and even support for playing back zipped files.
[125012430070] |The default interface is still a stripped down player that belies VLC’s functionality and features.
[125012430080] |Skinning can fix that quickly, but behavior can still be a bit unpredictable depending on the quality of the skin.
[125012430090] |VLC’s open-source foundation and community ensures that it evolves quickly and often, with new features and fixes released frequently.
[125012430100] |Overall, VLC Media Player is a must-have application for its ability to open just about any type of video file you throw at it.

[125012500020] |Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users, targeting the GNOME desktop.
[125012500030] |Smuxi is based on the client-server model: The core application (engine) can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more frontends then connect to the core.
[125012500040] |This way, the connection to IRC can be kept up even when all frontends have been closed.
[125012500050] |The combination of screen and irssi served as example for this architecture.
[125012500060] |Smuxi also supports the regular single application mode.
[125012500070] |This behaves like a typical IRC client; it doesn’t need separate core management and utilizes a local engine that is used by the local frontend client.
[125012500080] |Why did you start making Smuxi, we have many IRC client out there?!
[125012500090] |Development of Smuxi started in 2004 making an IRC client that fits the needs I could not satisfy with irssi.
[125012500100] |I was using irssi over 4 years and it’s the best the IRC client I have used so far.
[125012500110] |Most annoying was that it didn’t integrate at all into my desktop experience (such as mouse / clipboard / theming / highlight handling).
[125012500120] |Thus irssi inspired lots of features and commands seen in Smuxi.
[125012500130] |Smuxi pioneered the separated engine / frontend concept inside a single graphical client application and has been the focus of development since ever then.
[125012500140] |<strong>Install smuxi in ubuntu 10.04/9.10</strong>
[125012500150] |Open the terminal and run the following commands
[125012500160] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:meebey/ppa

[125012510010] |<title>How to View bash shell history and Change bash history file size in Ubuntu</title>
[125012510020] |The Bash shell is the default shell environment in most Linux distributions, including all flavours of Debian.
[125012510030] |One default feature of the Bash shell is to record a history of all the commands entered by a user in a log file called .bash_history, found in the user’s home directory.
[125012510040] |<strong>View user bash history in Ubuntu</strong>
[125012510050] |First open up a terminal from Applications >Accessories >Terminal and type the following command
[125012510060] |history
[125012510070] |This will show you all your terminal commands history on the terminal
[125012510080] |If you want to save this history in to a file use the following command
[125012510090] |history -w ~/userhistory.txt
[125012510100] |Once you have save the file you can view using the following command from your terminal
[125012510110] |gedit ~/userhistory.txt
[125012510120] |<strong>Change bash history file size</strong>
[125012510130] |If you want to change bash history file size open up your .bashrc using the following command from your terminal
[125012510140] |gedit ~/.bashrc
[125012510150] |Now add the following line at the top
[125012510160] |export HISTFILESIZE=3000
[125012510170] |Save and exit the file
[125012510180] |As you can see, the limit can be changed.
[125012510190] |Bash shell keeps it’s own history in a file.
[125012510200] |You can view that file as stated before, or by opening ~/.bash_history.

[125012610240] |The standard web browser is now Rekonq, a KDE browser based on Webkit.
[125012610250] |Qt was updated to the current 4.7 beta release.
[125012610260] |<h3>Xubuntu</h3>
[125012610270] |Xfce4 was updated to the current 4.6.2 release.
[125012610280] |This fixes many of the bugs and updates the programs used in Xubuntu.
[125012610290] |New default applications: Parole (Xfce4 Media Player) replaced Totem Movie Player, Xfburn (Xfce4 CD/DVD burning tool) replaced Brassero, and xfce4-taskmanager (Xfce4 process manager) replaced Gnome-Task-Manager.
[125012610300] |<h3>Edubuntu</h3>
[125012610310] |Edubuntu changes include the changes from Ubuntu.
[125012610320] |The edubuntu-artwork package has been split into smaller packages to improve future updates and reduce download sizes.
[125012610330] |<h3>Software-Center</h3>
[125012610340] |The software-center got a “Featured” and “Whats New” carousel in the Frontpage.
[125012610350] |It is faster and more responsive and contains a “History” feature that keeps track of what was installed/removed/upgraded.
[125012610360] |Plugin support is added and technical items will not be shown by default
[125012610370] |<h3>Linux kernel 2.6.35</h3>
[125012610380] |Alpha 3 includes the 2.6.35-14.19 kernel based on 2.6.35 final.
[125012610390] |This kernel includes new <a>security enhancements</a>.
[125012610400] |Of major note is the change the default behavior of PTRACE which is used by gdb, strace, ltrace, etc.
[125012610410] |The behavior for 10.10 is that only child processes can be PTRACEd, due to the default value of “1″ in <tt>/proc/sys/kernel/ptrace_scope</tt>.
[125012610420] |This value may be inappropriate for some development systems and servers with only admin accounts.
[125012610430] |If using “sudo” for PTRACE is not desired, please change this value to “0″.
[125012610440] |<h3>Ubuntu Server Cloud images</h3>
[125012610450] |cloud-init, the configurable initialization process for Ubuntu Server cloud images, has gained new features in Maverick Alpha 2, including pluggable hooks, ebsmount, ext4 support, and new stanzas in the cloud-config format.
[125012610460] |Starting with Alpha3, cloud images instances can now manage their own kernel, and can upgrade kernels with apt.
[125012610470] |This is done by utilizing pv-grub provided by Amazon.
[125012610480] |<h3>Installation</h3>
[125012610490] |The new btrfs file system may now be used during installation via manual partitioning, as long as <tt>/boot</tt> is on some other file system.

[125012650010] |<title>How to install Oracle 10g XE in 64-bit Ubuntu</title>
[125012650020] |Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) is an entry-level, small-footprint database based on the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 code base that’s free to develop, deploy, and distribute; fast to download; and simple to administer.
[125012650030] |Oracle Database XE is a great starter database for:
[125012650040] |* Developers working on PHP, Java, .NET, XML, and Open Source applications
[125012650050] |* DBAs who need a free, starter database for training and deployment
[125012650060] |* Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and hardware vendors who want a starter database to distribute free of charge
[125012650070] |* Educational institutions and students who need a free database for their curriculum
[125012650080] |With Oracle Database XE, you can now develop and deploy applications with a powerful, proven, industry-leading infrastructure, and then upgrade when necessary without costly and complex migrations
[125012650090] |<strong>Install Oracle 10g XE in 64-bit Ubuntu</strong>
[125012650100] |First of all we need to be sure that we have installed the 32 bits libraries.Open the terminal and run the following command
[125012650110] |sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
[125012650120] |After this we do the following.
[125012650130] |We have to download Oracle 10g XE.We download it from <a>Oracle official site</a>.
[125012650140] |We also have to download an extra deb package.
[125012650150] |For that we to the following
[125012650160] |wget -c http://oss.oracle.com/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb
[125012650170] |When we got this two packages.
[125012650180] |We have to force the installation of oracle.
[125012650190] |dpkg -i --force-architecture libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb
[125012650200] |When the installation is ready.
[125012650210] |We need to configure it
[125012650220] |sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
[125012650230] |and we edit the ~/.bashrc
[125012650240] |gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc
[125012650250] |Add the following lines and save the file
[125012650260] |ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin export ORACLE_HOME export ORACLE_SID=XE export PATH
[125012650270] |After this we go to Applications Oracle Database and we click on to Database Home Page (http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex) on our web browser.

[125012660010] |<title>Install Ubuntu Light Themes in Ubuntu 10.10/10.04</title>
[125012660020] |One of our key objectives when we started conceptualising the new themes was their ability to be immediately recognisable as Ubuntu, even if represented as a small screenshot.
[125012660030] |As easily recognised as when it used to be brown – but not that brown… the incarnation that we initially launched was a bold new statement: a little unrefined maybe, but a good starting block on which to build.
[125012660040] |<strong>And so the evolution continues…</strong>
[125012660050] |A lot has been learnt in the last year and we are now in the process of making constant tweaks and improvements.
[125012660060] |I have been working extensively with Andrea Cimitan (creator of the Murrine theme engine) over the last couple of months to improve and accelerate our workflow.
[125012660070] |It’s been fantastic having his extensive knowledge, ideas and fresh perspective to fine tune across the board.
[125012660080] |There are far too many refinements to mention, but below are a few of note:
[125012660090] |Removal of the beige/brown/cream tints to windows and buttons – it was rather intense and the buttons in particular felt too dark and claustrophobic.
[125012660100] |The whole interface has a lighter, refined and more precise approach.
[125012660110] |<strong>Try it out for yourself</strong>
[125012660120] |As yet only the Ambiance theme is in a fit state for testing.
[125012660130] |Radiance now shares far more closely – so shouldn’t be far behind.
[125012660140] |The Ambiance Maverick Beta is available here: <a>http://people.ubuntu.com/~stefanor/light-themes/</a>
[125012660150] |Thanks to Stefano Rivera for assisting with the packaging – much appreciated.
[125012660160] |It seems that the dark version of the theme has been leaked.
[125012660170] |This is still very much a work in progress and *at this stage* is not necessarily intended as a full theme but to be used by certain application environments that would benefit from a darker UI, for example: image/photo manipulation and video editing.
[125012660180] |<strong>Install ubuntu light themes in Ubuntu 10.10/10.04</strong>
[125012660190] |Open the terminal and run the following commands
[125012660200] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:murrine-daily/ppa
[125012660210] |sudo apt-get update 
[125012660220] |sudo apt-get upgrade 
[125012660230] |One update, new Ambiance theme look very awesome with Faenza icon theme

[125012670010] |<title>Basenji - A portable volume indexer</title>
[125012670020] |Basenji is a volume indexing tool designed for easy and fast indexing of volume collections.
[125012670030] |It currently supports indexing of removable media such as CDs and USB sticks and stores them as volume objects in a database.
[125012670040] |After being stored in this database, volumes can be browsed and searched trough for specific files very quickly.
[125012670050] |Basenji has been developed with platform independency in mind right from the start and presently consists of a GTK+ GUI frontend and a reusable library backend (VolumeDB) that implements the actual indexing, searching and database logic.
[125012670060] |<strong>Basenji Key Features</strong>
[125012670070] |* Clean, Straightforward GUI
[125012670080] |Basenji’s GUI is easy to use and only exposes functionality that really matters.
[125012670090] |* Powerful XESAM End User Search Language (superset)
[125012670100] |Search files using queries like e.g.: “holiday and type=image and filesize >1MB”
[125012670110] |* Audio CD Support
[125012670120] |Besides indexing of filesystem volumes, Basenji also supports indexing of audio cds.
[125012670130] |* Metadata Extraction
[125012670140] |Metadata like image dimensions or MP3 tags is extracted from files automatically.
[125012670150] |* Thumbnail Creation
[125012670160] |Miniature pictures of media and document files (e.g. video, images, PDF) are created if desired.
[125012670170] |* Modular, Extensible Software Architecture
[125012670180] |Basenji’s code base is split up in several modules (GUI, database API, platform specific code) and makes extensive use of modern OO concepts, resulting in increased maintainability/extensibility and reusable code.
[125012670190] |* Crossplatform
[125012670200] |Basenji can be compiled on many platforms.
[125012670210] |Linux and Windows builds are available already.
[125012670220] |<strong>Install Basenji in ubuntu 10.04</strong>
[125012670230] |Open the terminal and run the following commands
[125012670240] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulb/ppa
[125012670250] |sudo apt-get update
[125012670260] |sudo apt-get install basenji

[125012680010] |<title>Canonical Begins Tracking Ubuntu Installations</title>
[125012680020] |Just uploaded to the Ubuntu Lucid repository for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (and we imagine it will appear shortly in Maverick too for Ubuntu 10.10) is a new package called canonical-census, which marks its initial release.
[125012680030] |Curious about what this package provides, we did some digging and found it’s for tracking Ubuntu installations by sending an “I am alive” ping to Canonical on a daily basis.
[125012680040] |The canonical-census v0.1 description is simply “canonical-census - send “I am alive” ping to Canonical.”
[125012680050] |When looking at the Debian package source to this Python program, “Send an “I am alive” ping to Canonical.
[125012680060] |This is used for surveying how many original OEM installs are still existing on real machines.
[125012680070] |Note that this does not send any user specific data; it only transmits the operating system version (/var/lib/ubuntu_dist_channel), the machine product name, and a counter how many pings were sent.”
[125012680080] |When the canonical-census package is installed, the program is to be added to the daily Cron jobs to be executed so that each day it will report to Canonical over HTTP the number of times this system previously sent to Canonical (this counter is stored locally and with it running on a daily basis it’s thereby indicating how many days the Ubuntu installation has been active), the Ubuntu distributor channel, the product name as acquired by the system’s DMI information, and which Ubuntu release is being used.
[125012680090] |That’s all that canonical-census does, at least for now.
[125012680100] |Previously there haven’t been such Ubuntu tracking measures attempted by Canonical.
[125012680110] |The good news for those concerned about privacy is that it appears for now Canonical is just interested in tracking the users of OEM installations -- those PCs that ship with Ubuntu by default such as from ZaReason, System76, and Dell.
[125012680120] |This information will obviously be valuable to both companies to see whether customers are keeping around their Ubuntu installations or just wiping them and just how often Ubuntu is being used on these systems (judging by the number of times that system reported to Canonical’s server previously).
[125012680130] |For those not wanting to participate in this anonymous data gathering process, they could always sudo apt-get remove canonical-census
[125012680140] |The Canonical Census package can be found on <a>Launchpad.net</a> for those interested.

[125012690010] |<title>Install transmission 2.04 in Ubuntu 10.04/9.10</title>
[125012690020] |Transmission differs from bigger clients like ?Torrent, Vuze, and BitComet in that it is volunteer-based, open source, and noncommercial.
[125012690030] |There is no payware version as with Vuze Plus.
[125012690040] |We don’t bundle toolbars, adware, DNA, or anything else.
[125012690050] |If we did, someone else would fork the project and strip it back out.
[125012690060] |Feature Spotlight:
[125012690070] |* Uses fewer resources than other clients
[125012690080] |* Native Mac, GTK+ and Qt GUI clients
[125012690090] |* Daemon ideal for servers, embedded systems, and headless use
[125012690100] |* All these can be remote controlled by Web and Terminal clients
[125012690110] |* Bluetack (PeerGuardian) blocklists with automatic updates
[125012690120] |* Full encryption, DHT, PEX and Magnet Link support
[125012690130] |Install transmission 2.04 in Ubuntu 10.04/9.10
[125012690140] |Open the terminal and run the following commands
[125012690150] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
[125012690160] |sudo apt-get update
[125012690170] |sudo apt-get install transmission
[125012690180] |If you want to upgrade run the following commands from your terminal
[125012690190] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
[125012690200] |sudo apt-get update

[125012700010] |<title>KDE Releases Development Platform, Applications and Plasma Workspaces 4.5.0</title>
[125012700020] |KDE today celebrates its semi-annual release event, making available new releases of the Plasma Desktop and Netbook workspaces, the KDE Development Platform and a large number of applications available in their 4.5.0 versions.
[125012700030] |In this release, the KDE team focused on stability and completeness of the Desktop experience.
[125012700040] |More than 16,000 bugs have been fixed, and many feature requests have been filled.
[125012700050] |The result for the user is a system that feels faster, takes less time to “think”, and works more reliably.
[125012700060] |The large number of bug fixes goes accompanied with many parts that have got an extra portion of tender loving care.
[125012700070] |Plasma 4.5.0′s new notification system is one example here.
[125012700080] |It is designed to get less in your way, yet to support your workflow as smoothly as possible.
[125012700090] |Visually, the striking monochromatic icons make for a more consistent look in the notification area.
[125012700100] |A highlight of the KDE Applications 4.5.0 is surely Marble, which can now be used for map routing as well as viewing.
[125012700110] |The Konqueror web browser can now also use the WebKit engine to render its content.
[125012700120] |The KDE Development Platform 4.5.0 offers a new generic cache for applications that need high-speed access to certain data, such as icons or other pre-rendered artwork.
[125012700130] |The new KSharedDataCache speeds up loading of many components, while the new HTTP scheduler is optimized for concurrent access to web servers, and makes loading of pages in Konqueror and other parts using the KIO HTTP mechanism faster.
[125012700140] |Today’s releases are the first in the 4.5 series and will be followed with updated versions approximately monthly that will focus on fixing bugs.
[125012700150] |The next feature releases are planned for January 2011.
[125012700160] |If you would like to test-drive 4.5.0, you can do so by installing the packages that should be made available by your operating system vendor.
[125012700170] |You can also choose to build 4.5.0 from source, the nitty-gritty of that can be found on TechBase.
[125012700180] |For the impatient, there is also a Live CD available.

[125012710010] |<title>Ubuntu Linux provisioning automation with Cobbler</title>
[125012710020] |<a>Cobbler</a> is a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments.
[125012710030] |It glues together and automates many associated Linux tasks so you do not have to hop between lots of various commands and applications when rolling out new systems, and, in some cases, changing existing ones.
[125012710040] |With a simple series of commands, network installs can be configured for PXE, reinstallations, media-based net-installs, and virtualized installs (supporting Xen, qemu, KVM, and some variants of VMware).
[125012710050] |Cobbler uses a helper program called ‘koan’ (which interacts with Cobbler) for reinstallation and virtualization support.
[125012710060] |Cobbler is a small and lightweight application (about 15k lines of Python code).
[125012710070] |It tries to be extremely simple to use both for very small and very large installations -- as well as easy to work on, extend, and hack.
[125012710080] |It avoids being “enterprisey” (as in complicated) whenever possible, but is highly useful in all sorts of enterprises by having a lot of advanced features and doing small things to save a large amount of time in repeated tasks.
[125012710090] |Cobbler can also optionally help with managing DHCP, DNS, and yum package mirroring infrastructure -- in this regard, it is a more generalized automation app, rather than just dealing specifically with installations.
[125012710100] |There is also a lightweight built-in configuration management system, as well as support for integrating with configuration management systems like Puppet.
[125012710110] |Cobbler has a command line interface, a web interface , and also several API access options.
[125012710120] |That sounds like a lot, but it’s really pretty simple.
[125012710130] |New users may like to start with the web app after doing the initial setup steps on the command line (cobbler check; cobbler import) as it will give them a good idea of all of the features available.
[125012710140] |Advanced features don’t have to be understood all at once, they can be incorporated over time as the need for them arises.
[125012710150] |<strong>Install cobbler in ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)</strong>
[125012710160] |<strong>Preparing your system</strong>
[125012710170] |Open the terminal and run the following commands
[125012710180] |sudo apt-get install python-yaml python-cheetah python-netaddr python-urlgrabber
[125012710190] |Get the source code from git tree
[125012710200] |sudo git clone git://github.com/proffalken/cobbler.git
[125012710210] |change to the new directory and run the setup as root
[125012710220] |cd cobbler
[125012710230] |sudo python setup.py install
[125012710240] |and there we are, Cobbler should now be running on your server

[125012720010] |<title>Creating a VPN in Minutes Using Remobo</title>
[125012720020] |Remobo is a free software which can be used to replace the paid versions of existing difficult to use VPN setups as it can create a VPN instantly and securely.
[125012720030] |It lets you login easily and add users to your buddy list, and create a secure network for you.
[125012720040] |In private chat messaging, the file sharing client helps share information within the buddy list as well.
[125012720050] |Remobo lets you control your computer and access files securely while away from the system.
[125012720060] |It also creates a direct, peer-to-peer connection between your computers to attain maximum speed.
[125012720070] |We can share files amongst computers, friends, and family in a private and encrypted format using BitTorrent and run games apart from running business apps such as video conferencing, streaming media, secure instant messaging etc.
[125012720080] |Almost any 3rd party application can be run on top of Remobo using the VPN setup.
[125012720090] |<strong>Procedure to follow</strong>
[125012720100] |<strong>Step 1.
[125012720110] |Download and Install</strong>
[125012720120] |Install Remobo in ubuntu
[125012720130] |First you need to download .deb packages from <a>here</a> once you have .deb packages install by double clicking on it or by running the following command from your terminal
[125012720140] |sudo dpkg -i remobo_0.30.2_i386.deb
[125012720150] |<strong>Step 2.
[125012720160] |Start It Up</strong>
[125012720170] |Launch Remobo if this is your first time using it, then you will need to create a new account.
[125012720180] |If not, you can skip the next step and simply login.
[125012720190] |<strong>Step 3.
[125012720200] |Create a New Account</strong>
[125012720210] |Create a new Remobo account by following the setup procedure.
[125012720220] |You will basically need to choose a username and password that will be used to login and start Remobo.
[125012720230] |We also ask for an e-mail address so you can recover your password in case you lose it.
[125012720240] |It will not be used for spam or shared with others without your consent.
[125012720250] |<strong>Step 4.
[125012720260] |Login and Connect</strong>
[125012720270] |Once you have an account, just login by entering your username, password, and also a descriptive name for the computer you are logging in from.
[125012720280] |For example, “mylaptop”, “HomePC”, and “WorkComputer” would all be good choices.
[125012720290] |This will help your buddies see what computer you are using and also help you pick which computer to connect to if you are logged in on several different machines.
[125012720300] |After logging in, you will be ready to start using Remobo to connect to other computers!
[125012720310] |Remember, you can also login with one account on many different computers simultaneously to create an instant private network between all your computers.
[125012720320] |<strong>Using Remobo</strong>
[125012720330] |<strong>Adding a New Buddy</strong>
[125012720340] |You can add new buddies by clicking on the “settings” button on the main window.
[125012720350] |Then click the “Add a Buddy” menu item.
[125012720360] |Enter your buddy’s username in the window that pops up and click “OK”.
[125012720370] |If all goes well, your buddy will receive a new request which they can accept or deny.
[125012720380] |Once accepted, you will be able to connect directly to this buddy when they are logged in.
[125012720390] |<strong>Understanding the Buddy List</strong>
[125012720400] |Your buddy list contains a complete list of all your buddies.
[125012720410] |When offline, they will show up in a grey color and you will not be able to connect to them.
[125012720420] |When online, a green dot will appear next to the buddy and they will no longer be greyed out.
[125012720430] |You will also see one or more entries appear under the buddy’s name.
[125012720440] |Each of these entries corresponds to a computer where the buddy is logged in.
[125012720450] |In general, they should have descriptive names like “MyHomePC”, “laptop”, “officeComputer”, etc.
[125012720460] |This way, you can decide exactly which of their computers you would like to connect to.
[125012720470] |Also note that the last entry in your buddy list is always yourself.
[125012720480] |So, if you are logged in at more than one computer, you will see the list of these computers appear under your username.
[125012720490] |You can easily connect to any of these computers as well.
[125012720500] |<strong>Connecting to a Buddy</strong>
[125012720510] |Once you have a buddy added to your list, you can connect to any of them by clicking on the computer name under their username.
[125012720520] |You can also click on any computer name listed under your own username if you are logged in at more than once machine.
[125012720530] |A pop-up menu will appear giving you several choices of what you would like to do.
[125012720540] |For example, you can choose to send a file to another computer, browse through any files your buddy has shared with you, remotely control that computer (if you know the password), start a video conference, and lots more!
[125012720550] |<strong>Advanced Connections</strong>
[125012720560] |The real benefit of Remobo is the fact that you can use it to run any application between your computers or buddies as if you were on the same LAN.
[125012720570] |If you are familiar with VPN (virtual private network) technology, Remobo is a great alternative for those looking for easy setup, no maintenance or configuration, and its very secure!
[125012720580] |For example, if you like to play games, you can play with your buddy as if you were on the same LAN… or if you prefer using Windows Remote Desktop instead of the bundled VNC, you can do that too!
[125012720590] |Other uses include, running video conferencing software, creating an instant VPN, streaming media between computers, and much more.
[125012720600] |The key is in the virtual IP address that is assigned to each Remobo client.
[125012720610] |To find the virtual IP address of any computer in your list, just mouse-over that computer and it will appear.
[125012720620] |You can then write it down or better yet, right-click that same computer and choose “Copy IP Address”.
[125012720630] |This will copy that computer’s virtual IP address and you can paste it into any application you want to use.
[125012720640] |Don’t want to deal with ip addresses?
[125012720650] |You can also address any of the buddies and computers in your list using the following domain names:
[125012720660] |<username>.remobo.com <computername>.<username>.remobo.com
[125012720670] |Of course, you should leave out the <and >.
[125012720680] |The second version is only needed if the user you want to connect to is logged in at multiple different computers.
[125012720690] |This way, you can specify exactly which computer to connect to.
[125012720700] |Each of these domain names will resolve directly to that machine’s Remobo virtual IP address.

[125012790020] |The (Not So) Simple Backup suite, short just nssbackup, is a fork of the SBackup project, the Simple Backup suite. nssbackup is basically using the same technology that Unix administrators have been used for decades but it adds some some intelligence for interaction with users within a graphical interface.
[125012790030] |This means dumps of files were created using the good old TAR but the usage is much more convenient than from a command line.
[125012790040] |The (Not So) Simple Backup suite is the successor to SBackup.
[125012790050] |It was started in the SBackup SVN repository, but shares no code.
[125012790060] |Our project adds new features like handling of log files, a plug-in framework, status indication and many more that were requested by users.
[125012790070] |Lots of bugs that were experienced in SBackup are fixed in (Not So) Simple Backup suite.
[125012790080] |All the time compatibility between nssbackup and sbackup was, and will, preserved.
[125012790090] |So basically, nssbackup and sbackup are doing the same job.
[125012790100] |Please note that practically no effort is spend on sbackup and we would strongly advise you to use (Not So) Simple Backup suite instead.

[125012810010] |<title>Install Latest Version of shutter in Ubuntu 10.04/9.10</title>
[125012810020] |Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot program.
[125012810030] |You can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website – apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window.
[125012810040] |Shutter is free, open-source, and licensed under GPL v3.
[125012810050] |Capture
[125012810060] |Shutter allows you to capture nearly anything on your screen without loosing control over your screenshots (tabbed interface).
[125012810070] |Here is an overview of what you can do with Shutter:
[125012810080] |* Capture a specific area
[125012810090] |This allows you to select an arbitrary region of your screen and capture only those parts you really need.
[125012810100] |Shutter offers two different tools to do so in order to meet any user’s taste.
[125012810110] |* Capture a window
[125012810120] |Simply use your mouse to select the window you want to capture.
[125012810130] |Shutter will highlight the currently select window in an attractive and useful way.
[125012810140] |It is even possible to simple select a window from a list and capture it right a way.
[125012810150] |* Capture a menu or tooltip
[125012810160] |Capturing menus or tooltips is very easy with Shutter.
[125012810170] |You select one of the options and a (user-defined) countdown starts.
[125012810180] |During this time you can open the desired menu or let a specific tooltip come up.
[125012810190] |Shutter will recognize and capture it.
[125012810200] |* Capture a website
[125012810210] |<strong>Install Latest Version of shutter in Ubuntu 10.04/9.10</strong>

[125012820010] |<title>gimp-plugin-registry - A repository of optional extensions for The GIMP</title>
[125012820020] |It is a collection of scripts and plugins for The GIMP.
[125012820030] |The name is based on the webpage GIMP Plugin Registry, where most (new) plugins and scripts are listed.
[125012820040] |So far the package ships with 170 scripts/plugins.
[125012820050] |The package contains the following plugins:
[125012820060] |* Add Film Grain (2.4): Helps adding realistic film grain to BW images.
[125012820070] |* btn4ws (0.8.0.1): Generates a series of buttons in three states (passive, active, pressed) with various selectable effects on them, as well as XHTML, CSS and JavaScript code for using the buttons.
[125012820080] |* Black and White Film Simulation (1.1): Converts the selected layer into Black and White using the channel mixer.
[125012820090] |Tries to produce results resembling tonal qualities of film.
[125012820100] |* CMYK Tiff 2 PDF for Gimp (20090321): This plugin completes the prepress workflow of using Separate+ to generate CMYK Tiff images by allowing you to convert the saved CMYK Tiff image into a PDF file.
[125012820110] |* Contact Sheet (2.02): Generates a contact sheet(s) for a directory of images.
[125012820120] |* David’s Batch Processor (1.1.9): A simple batch processing plugin for The Gimp - it allows the user to automatically perform operations (such as resize) on a collection of image files.
[125012820130] |* Diana-Holga2 (c): Diana/Holga Toys Cameras effect simulator.
[125012820140] |* El Samuko GIMP Scripts:
[125012820150] |* Antique Photo Border Script: This script simulates a yellowed and slightly jagged border like these of old photographies.
[125012820160] |* Che Guevara Script: This script generates a poster like the famous Che Guevara one from Jim Fitzpatrick.
[125012820170] |* Cyanotype Script: This script simulates the Cyanotype printing process.
[125012820180] |* Difference Layer Script This script generates two difference layers from the two layers on the top.
[125012820190] |It’s similar to GIMP’s built-in Grain Extract/Merge function, but the tonal range is bigger.
[125012820200] |Now you can apply further editing and “switch on/off” the adjustment by switching the visibility of the subtractive and the additive layer.Also you can change the modification intensity by changing the intensity of these two layers.

[125012820580] |This image is propagated along the second dimension of the image plane at a constant speed.
[125012820590] |The result is a picture of the time dependency of the object.
[125012820600] |* Traditional Orton: This is an effect invented by Michael Orton in the 1990’s, which consists of taking two copies of an image, one blurred, and one sharp,and mixing them to produce an image with a dreamy quality.
[125012820610] |It is especially well suited to landscape and flower photography.
[125012820620] |* Wavelet Decompose (0.1.2): The wavelet decompose plugin decomposes a layer of an image into layers of wavelet scales.
[125012820630] |This means that you can edit the image on different detail scales (frequencies).
[125012820640] |The trivial recomposition of the image can be done by GIMP’s layer modes so you can see the results of your modifications instantly.
[125012820650] |Among the applications are retouching, noise reduction, and enhancing global contrast.
[125012820660] |* Wavelet Denoise (0.3.1): The wavelet denoise plugin is a tool to selectively reduce noise in individual channels of an image with optional RGB<->YCbCr conversion.It has a user interface to adjust the amount of denoising applied.
[125012820670] |The wavelet nature of the algorithm makes the processing quite fast.

[125012830010] |<title>Multi-touch Support Lands in ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)</title>
[125012830020] |Canonical is pleased to announce the release of uTouch 1.0, Ubuntu’s multi-touch and gesture stack.
[125012830030] |With Ubuntu 10.10 (the Maverick Meerkat), users and developers will have an end-to-end touch-screen framework — from the kernel all the way through to applications.
[125012830040] |Our multi-touch team has worked closely with the Linux kernel and X.org communities to improve drivers, add support for missing features, and participate in the touch advances being made in open source world.
[125012830050] |To complete the stack, we’ve created an <a>open source gesture recognition engine</a> and defined <a>|a gesture API</a> that provides a means for applications to obtain and use gesture events from the uTouch gesture engine.
[125012830060] |Our multi-touch work began in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, when we worked to get additional touch hardware supported in the Linux kernel, particularly the Dell XT2, HP tx2 tablets and the Lenovo T410s laptops.
[125012830070] |With that in place, and active development in X well under way, we reviewed our options for gesture recognition in Linux.
[125012830080] |The Maverick cycle has seen us produce several prototypes for gesture recognition software and the Ubuntu archives now include the results of that effort.
[125012830090] |The world’s expectations of software experience are being raised by advances in mobile computing.
[125012830100] |We are bringing that revolution to the Linux desktop: for window management and applications.
[125012830110] |Though our work at the application level has only just started, we are certain that multi-touch and gestures will be central to the way we use Linux applications in future.
[125012830120] |The success of touch in applications depends on several key factors:
[125012830130] |<li>toolkit integration of gesture APIs</li>
[125012830140] |<li>touch support for legacy applications</li>
[125012830150] |<li>designing new applications for finger-based interactions</li> 
[125012830160] |Work has begun on all three fronts in Ubuntu, and we expect it to remain an area of active interest over the next few releases up to 12.04 LTS.
[125012830170] |Ubuntu is the fruit of collaboration across the huge Ubuntu community, and also the amazing work of many other communities that form around individual projects and initiatives like Debian.
[125012830180] |The uTouch framework enables work to begin across many of those communities to make touch a first-class interaction model in open source desktop and mobile software.
[125012830190] |Existing contributions in other projects have provided fertile ground for uTouch.
[125012830200] |To name just a few:
[125012830210] |<li>Stéphane Chatty at ENAC has lead much multi-touch hardware support in the kernel</li>
[125012830220] |<li>Peter Hutterer at Red Hat defined multi-pointer X and proposed a multi-touch protocol for a future version of X</li>
[125012830230] |<li>Carlos Garnacho of the GNOME community has done multi-touch work in X and GTK</li> 
[125012830240] |We’re look forward to continued collaboration, ensuring that Linux remains the preferred platform for people building cutting-edge devices and software.
[125012830250] |Canonical is working with manufacturers of touch-enabled products and those of their underlying technology in order to bring innovations in user experience to a broader audience.
[125012830260] |Our aim is to bring the natural, tactile experience of the world to the desktop, window manager, and applications you value — all the software that you depend upon to get things done and have fun.
[125012830270] |Touch will be part of the Ubuntu Netbook, Desktop and Light products from 10.10 and beyond.
