April 1. 7Posted in News Roundup at 5: 3. Dr. Roy Schestowitz. Contents. Desktop. For years, the classical desktop has been the main interface for interacting with computers. Consisting of a menu, a panel, and an area to display widgets and open windows, its main virtue was originally its easy access to applications and files. It remains popular today, featured in at least five of the seven major Linux desktop environments. Increasingly, though, it is becoming inefficient — a trend that is not helped helped by experimental designs that decrease access to resources rather than increasing it. When the classical Linux desktop emerged years ago, it was a marked improvement over the command line for the casual user. Icons on the desktop and menu items ensured that executables were always one or two clicks away, and that users spent more time on productivity than in interacting with the desktop. Windows is infamous for the “blue screen of death” that millions of users have encountered over the years. Issuu is a digital publishing platform that makes it simple to publish magazines, catalogs, newspapers, books, and more online. VR-Zone Tech News for the Geeks Jan 2013 Issue. Parent's drugged so teens could stay online Source. Companies of movie : Columbia Pictures Corporation, Centropolis Entertainment, Mutual Film Company, Global Entertainment Productions GmbH & Company Medien KG. But I’ve never heard of a Linux user getting one. Yes, a Linux user actually got a blue screen of death. This may be the first time in history that we’ve seen something like this in Linux. System. 76 has announced the immediate availability of Sable, a powerful desktop computer powered by the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu Linux. An “Endless Computers” Kickstarter project is pitching a Celeron- based PC for emerging markets starting at $1. Endless OS” Linux distro. A San Francisco based startup called Endless Computers, is close to its $1. Kickstarter. Funding packages for its Linux- based Endless Computer start at $1. GB, moving to $1. You can watch online movie. You've just seen the movie categories messias titled The Matrix (1999) Free Megashare. Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) Online.When you’re strapping on the latest smart watch or ogling an iPhone. Men in Black and Resident Evil. Wi. Fi and Bluetooth. The price goes to $2. GB HDD. There are also options to give computers away to poor schools and students around the world. The project closes May 1. June. Today we bring good news for Linux users, especially for the Ubuntu lovers.
Nimbini mini- PC is the youngest and smallest member of the cirrus. PC family. As you may know, Cirrus. Germany- based company which received Red Dot Product Design Award last year. Just like its big brother Cirrus. Nimbus, the Nimbini is completely fan- less and as a result is a quite, compact desktop for everyday usage. A couple weeks ago I bought the Lenovo T4. I have to say. Over the last two weeks I’ve been using the T4. Fedora Linux. Server Docker has shot to prominence as a developer tool but version 1. The latest iteration of the open- source platform that first appeared in early 2. December at the Docker. Con EU conference in Amsterdam. Kernel Space. Linus Torvalds this week released the Linux 4. It’s also a milestone for the project in a few unintentional ways, which Torvalds spells out in his 4. First, rather than rollover the kernel version from the previous release, 3. Torvalds in February polled the community and determined that a slim majority favored pushing the new version to 4. Through collaborative development, Alliance members are looking to leverage their broad industry expertise to advance a common platform for devices, services and applications within the Internet of Everything. Back in February, we interviewed the Alliance’s senior director of Io. T, Philip Des. Autels (shown), who said, “We are building out an open source software project that delivers code that will help people build interoperable tools and devices.” Takashi Iwai sent in his sound driver updates for Linux 4. ALSA in the sequencer core and HD- audio code. The live kernel patching support was one of the big additions to what became Linux 4. Linux 4. 1 there aren’t many improvements to show for the past cycle. While full Dyn. Ticks support has been part of the mainline Linux kernel for quite a while, it’s now become possible to use it with KVM guest virtual machines. Rafael Wysocki of Intel sent in the ACPI and power management updates for the Linux 4. As usual, there’s a lot of new code part of this big pull request. With the new GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) versioning where they’re going to be bumping the major version number every year, Linux kernel developers are now re- working the way they handle the compiler’s quirks/changes within the kernel. Ingo Molnar sent in the perf subsystem updates for Linux 4. Tuesday and one of the biggest changes is the ability to attach e. BPF programs to KProbes. This means that there’s support for user- defined, sandboxed instrumentation running on a live kernel that at the same time can’t cause the kernel any harm. Earlier this week I wrote about how it looked like KDBUS would be included in the Linux 4. Linus Torvalds by Greg Kroah- Hartman. However, since that pull request, KDBUS is taking a lot of heat and there’s calls for it to be postponed from mainlining. Graphics Stack. Linux users have long had a love- hate relationship with Nvidia. On the one hand, Nvidia’s proprietary graphics drivers have always been the best- performing ones for Linux gaming. On the other hand, Nvidia has been so hostile to the open- source community that Linus Torvalds literally gave it the middle finger a few years ago. Torvalds also called them “the single worst company” the Linux developer community has ever had to deal with. To the dismay of linux die hards, the Linux 3. Nvidia Maxwell GPUs. This includes only the basic mode- setting without hardware acceleration (Phoronix via Fudzilla) in Nouveau. Just in case you don’t already know, Nouveau is the beloved reverse- engineered, open source driver used by the Nvidia- Linux community as an alternative to the proprietary linux driver. Open sourcers are furious that while Nvidia’s Ge. Force GTX 9. 00 series is a dominant card for Linux gamers it is about as open source friendly as an Apple fanboy who has been queuing for two months for the latest pointless tool he cant use. The NVIDIA 3. 49 driver series has been stabilized today for Solaris, Free. BSD, and Linux with the debut of the NVIDIA 3. While the Ge. Force GTX 9. Nouveau on Linux 4. Maxwell Ge. Force GTX 7. GK2. 0A Tegra K1 graphics processors. It looks like AMD might finally be close to publishing the code to their new AMDGPU kernel driver that’s key to their new unified Linux driver strategy where their open- source stack and Catalyst share a common, open- source kernel driver. Windows users this week saw the release of an AMD Catalyst 1. Beta driver, but if you’re looking out for the equivalent Linux build, sadly it has yet to surface. Benchmarks. All of the continuous Linux benchmark results from these systems aren’t part of the routine flow of new Linux performance data published on Phoronix. Linux. Benchmarking. These systems are still all powered by the Git code of the Phoronix Test Suite and Phoromatic. The final piece left to code of the project is to export all of the data in real- time to an external server from the local Phoromatic Server with having a read- only results viewer similar to what’s been done at Open. Benchmarking. org. I hope to have that done in the near future or if you would like to help out or test there is the Phoronix- Test- Suite on Git. Hub. Applications. Calibre, a complete application to edit, view, and convert e. Book files, has been updated yet again, and the developer has added a number of new features and various other fixes. I released 3. 1. 6. Despite many months of 1. I wanted to get into the “initial” release. I kept pushing through to make 3. I could. The Inverse team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Packet. Fence 5. 0. 0. This is a major release with new features, enhancements and important bug fixes. This release is considered ready for production use and upgrading from previous versions is strongly advised. In an operating system, logs are all about keeping track of events, be it critical system errors, resource usage warnings, transaction history, application status, or user activities. These logs, which are stored as (text or binary) files in the system, are useful for system auditing, debugging and maintenance. However, with so many different system entities generating log files, and even at growing rate, the challenge as a system admin is to how to “consume” these log files effectively. Production- ready Open Source Puppet 4 is now available! We’re excited to announce new features and enhancements that will extend your use of Puppet for faster, more consistent management of server configurations. We’ve added capabilities to help you save time, reduce errors, and increase reliability. From there, textprint goes from zero- to- 6. Instructionals/Technical. Games. Age of Wonders III has been highly requested by Linux fans, and now that it’s fully released I decided to take a look. The developers graciously gave me a copy to test, so many thanks to them for this. The Linux (and Mac) versions came alongside a new patch, and a brand new expansion. You can see their official news post on Steam linked here. The Banner Saga has been highly sought after from Linux users, and the day has finally come. The new update also adds controller support. It’s a great time to be a fan of space combat games, and the latest release for us is Gratuitous Space Battles 2 which I’ve taken a look at. The game was ported to Linux thanks to Ethan Lee, who has done quite a number of ports for us now. He’s much like Ryan Gordon in the way that he ports a lot of other people’s games. His ports are usually good too. Desktop Environments/WMs. K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt. Qt 5. 5 is a very exciting release for new features and functionality being added to this open- source toolkit, but it’s continuing in the Qt. When we were porting Kamoso to Qt. KF5, at some point I realized that it was about time we came up with whatever we’d want to do with sharing. Kipi is definitely an interesting technology, but no matter how I looked at it I found that it missed an iteration in the concept. In some aspects it’s very specific, in some others very broad. In fact, I already tried to improve it, back in 2. In the last Qt on Android episode we learned the basics of JNI on Android in a Qt way.
