LinuxLiensNews linux RSSIndex (hide) 1. News forge2. LockergnomeIt’s not all that shocking to see Ubuntu taking off in the retail market, finally. Despite the belief that KDE is going to make more sense to Windows users, it would appear that GNOME’s use on Ubuntu, is proving that simple is sometimes better. Just expressing my opinion on the situation, of course. Flash forward into today, we have news of Ubuntu doing what Linux was not able to do successfully previously, finding a home in the retail market pre-installed on desktops and laptops. Ubuntu is finally getting it right in finding the best way to get their wares in front of people is to sell them pre-installed. Definitely, this is the way to go and with any luck, we’ll see more expansion here in the future.
Flash forward into today, the future of the concept is largely unknown. The concept, actually, is sound. And Instructables did a great job with the idea initially. So the big question becomes whether or not we’ll see see restaurants for this concept in the future. Speaking for myself, I’d eat someplace that has this kind of format. Imagine really digging what you just ate, but being able to make it at home! Even better, being able to come back once again for new recipes! Crazy, I know. Out of what sounds like a bad dream, it seems that the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) is attempting to do what was previously thought to be impossible. Seems one lobby group has it in their mind that they are able to impede on our personal freedom due to their perception to open source software as it poses a threat to their proprietary software. This is utter and complete nonsense. IIPA is clearly either incredibly misinformed, or looking for a world-wide fight they will most surely lose. If I was the IIPA, I’d stick to their typical patent troll duties and leave us alone. Honestly, i totally understand concern about legitimate issues over real pirated software…software that was licensed as proprietary in nature, license ignored and then used for personal gain later on. But in this case, clearly this is not the issue. Do we need Evolution, or does using DavMail with Thunderbird make more sense in the long run? This seems to be the real question here. For those who don’t already know, using DavMail acts as a gateway that translates into being able to elimnate the use of Outlook or Evolution, thanks to its ability to bridge Microsoft Exchange. The idea itself seems fairly straight forward, but the visual outline provided here does vastly better. There is no question this is a great way to provide access to MS Exchange, with just a little less Microsoft in the user’s diet! The move to put compliance in front of the Exchange user, is a great plan. And using something like DavMail certainly makes a lot of sense in contrast to trying to connect to exchange directly. But for people like me who are totally fine using Evolution, using DavMail is just not needed.
Still, this is more than I am currently able to do with my iPhone thus far, so score one for the OpenWRT hacker who figured this out. At this point however, I see this as more of a proof of concept than anything of substantial value. Then again, if the hack is made available to others to add to, who knows where such a project could end up? I see stuff like this serving as a friendly reminder that the strangest experiments in “can it work” often lead to greater things. With any luck, this will be one of those situations. Even with the need for the hack, it was pretty cool to hear about the Droid being used for with various USB devices. »
[+] Sticky Notes For UbuntuIf you goto Applications, Ubuntu Software Center, you will find that there are a few different sticky note type options available. The most commonly known include TomBoy and for those afraid of the evil Mono monster, Gnotes. I tend to lean with Tomboy myself as it is what I am most used to. Well that and I do not make my software selections out of politics, rather what does what I want. If you don’t mind using KDE apps, there is also KNotes and KJots. Other options still, include Rhinote among a few others. In each case, I have found that the best available for my needs remained Tomboy. This is not to say that the other note options aren’t great as well, but it just seems like Tomboy crashes less and has the functionality to work with other third party programs, something that does not always exist with other solutions. At the end of the day, I would suggest using which ever solution works best for you. »
[+] Taboontu And You
But the real question is whether or not simply using an alternation of the netbook remix might not simply be a smarter approach? Seems to be a heck of a lot easier in the long run. And consider the amount of time it takes to run yet another “based on Ubuntu” release, this seems like the best approach. What do you think? Do we need any one distro to base a specific version of itself to meet the perceived demand for tablet PCs as they are released? Hit the comments, let’s hear your thoughts. »
[+] VLC Kicks It Up A Notch
Once I found some examples as to why extensions might be a great match for VLC, I suddenly found myself realizing just how fantastic this actually could end up being. Wikipedia, IMDb, Last.fm…the list goes on. No, there is something to be said for this inclusion of extensions for VLC. So long as the extensions are relevant, safe to use and provide value to the end user, I think this whole idea is going to lead to greater things for what I believe to be the worlds best media player.
The biggest problem I find with it is that even though the explanation is good, it really doesn’t do anything to make Flash work better for those struggling with it. The kicker for me is the defense against the HTML 5 vs. Flash argument presented. Complete hogwash — HTML 5 outperforms Flash hands down. Sorry, but this explanation needs to be reworked as it, again, solves nothing when it’s a Flash ad that crashes the browser. Normally this would sound like an awesome job, but I have found that the groups surrounding specific distros tend to be rather cliquish with new comers. Seems that Novell is now looking for a new community manager. Apparently the previous manager, is leaving on good terms. So this leaves open a position that to be honest, is likely to be more difficult than most people likely realize. But if you are up to a challenge, then perhaps this is the kind of gig you should explore. The biggest challenge I foresee is attracting new users with the newbie love for Ubuntu, over to the OpenSuSE side of the fence. Not due to one distro being better than other, rather the fact that the Ubuntu PR machine does better overall in attracting new users. It kills me to see people who understand what Linux is as an OS, ask one of the dumbest questions I have ever had the displease of reading. What specs do I buy to support Linux on a notebook. Really, are we this stupid? I mean I get it if they were talking about a desktop, to be built themselves. No, asking this about a laptop means that these morons are unable to master the power of Google. It’s pretty tricky, you type in Linux laptops. Now if the organic results are not working, look to the right! Dell, System76, EmperorLinux, among others. While some of the little guys might not be listed there, the big boys are. There, was that really so difficult? Best part – all of these notebooks are pre-configured AND they come with support. Specs? Please… »
[+] Open Source Tax SoftwareNot for taxes, but budgeting. that seems to be the common theme when it comes to locating tax preparation software for the open source platform. Worse is the fact that most of the financial software for Linux is designed for Euro users more than Americans. Even then, it’s often buggy and lacking a decent work flow. The closest thing to usable is MoneyDance which ironically converted from Open Source to closed, just to stay alive. Even funnier, it too, LACKS the single killer level of functionality that would triple its sales overnight. No tax preparation options. What makes this so sad is the fact that it would be compatible with this tax prep option, as it would not need to adhere to any open standards…something completely vacant in the US Tax world. One can only surmise that the only thing that prevents Linux financial software from supporting tax preparation is the perceived lack of a market. I can promise you, the market is totally there. So where are our options then? »
[+] Dumbed Down Nautilus
This brings us to Nautilus Elementary. Designed to be a more functional version of Nautilus in the eyes of its developers, you will note the biggest single difference is the placement. Speaking exclusively for myself, I see little reason to jump into any changes. Both standard Nautilus and the Elementary version both do the same basic thing – allow for browsing of files. And if you are looking for a real minimalist setup, fall back to a command shell!
In addition, there is the factor that Moonlight is ALWAYS behind Silverlight in ability. Last time I tried Moonlight, it was buggy at best…useless at worst. Now I am not one of those against Mono based projects. As far as I am concerned, it’s simply software based on what people wish to use. But I am against Microsoft Silverlight which basically puts Moonlight into the “why bother” category.
This is certainly the case with the Vector graphics program known simply as Inkscape. Despite not being the most attractive app in the world, it is very powerful. For those already using Adobe products, you will likely find this an easy transition as you have used Vector graphics before. As for everyone else, this is something like GIMP or Blender, that is going to take a real time investment to learn.
According to the above survey link, Canonical is exploring the idea of trying to get more proprietary software support for the Ubuntu Linux distro. Most people thus far seem mixed with the idea. But after I voted myself, I felt like I could better understand why. It’s a big change; obviously most people will be a little unsure about it.
What makes this all the more interesting is that Norway is in no way a poor country. They are provided with a high standard of living, one in which everyone is generally pretty comfortable. No, the big motivation here seems to be that they are just tired of fighting with cross platform compatibility, something that is clearly missing from the Microsoft side of the fence. And despite what everyone seems to believe, open office provides a great value considering the price of FREE.
To better respond to this need, Linux.com is now providing Linux job openings on their website for all to view and participate in. This means you could very well end up with a Linux job without having to rely on the typical job websites out there. What’s really cool is that many of the folks doing the hiring are from big companies doing pretty well even in this economy. So with that, among some other strong start-ups listed, prospects for finding a great match look fantastic. »
[+] Benchmarking Gone Wild
But for those who want a better understanding of how performance tracking works with the Linux kernel, using the Phoromatic Tracker is a great tool to demonstrate just how it works. This is not to say that this is the ultimate tool for most people to use. Frankly, it’s not. Rather I think it is interesting to be able to see just how well or poorly the kernel runs given a specific architecture.
Running NVIDIA graphics, an Intel Core i7 CPU along with other Intel related goodies, clearly System76 was not kidding when they said this thing was fast. At the end of the day, this notebook is the polar opposite of the various netbooks available out there. Once again, System76 is bucking the trend and defining their own value. I think they might have a winner here myself.

3. Linux MagOne of the sorely missing aspects of storage is analyzing and understanding the IO patterns of applications. This article will examine some techniques for performing IO profiling of an application to illustrate what information you can gain. Appcelerator ups the ante for mobile developers It's been a few days but the latest kernel, 2.6.33 is out. There are some changes that affect the storage world that you probably need to check out. Download and use Nikto before an attacker reduces your website to a burned-out cinder. Google Chrome has only had extensions available for a few months, but it already has a great collection of add-ons that will boost your browsing experience. We look at a handful of extensions that let you manage tabs effectively, learn more about the sites you browse, and read feeds with panache. In the land of Linux, there are three giants. Three distributions which have stood the test of time and from which most others have come. What makes these three unique and how have they shaped Linux as we know it today? »
[+] POSIX IO Must Die!POSIX IO is becoming a serious impediment to IO performance and scaling. POSIX is one of the standards that enabled portable programs and POSIX IO is the portion of the standard surrounding IO. But as the world of storage evolves with greatly increasing capacities and greatly increasing performance, it is time for POSIX IO to evolve or die. Gentoo is a source based distribution which lets the user decide how to optimize their system in many ways and includes building for a specific CPU architecture. Linux Magazine benchmarks four such options; i486, i686, pentium3, core2, and throws in Ubuntu for good measure. Building a scrollable, dynamic user interface for iPhone.

5. Linux Weekly News Headlines
Texas Linux Fest has announced the initial list of speakers and
presentations for its inaugural event. Keynote speakers include Joe
"Zonker" Brockmeier and Randal L. Schwartz, with additional presentations by
Linux, free software, and open source experts such as Jon "maddog" Hall,
Amber Graner, Bradley Kuhn, and Max Spevack. The event will take place on
Saturday, April 10th, in Austin Texas. Registration is available online. The complete list of talks is
available as well.
Almost exactly one year ago, LWN examined the problem of 4K-sector
drives and the reasons for their existence. In short, going to 4KB
physical sectors allows drive manufacturers to increase storage density,
always welcome in that competitive market. Recently, there have been a
number of reports that Linux is not ready to work with these drives; kernel
developer Tejun Heo even posted an extensive,
worth-reading
summary stating that "4 KiB logical sector support is broken in
both the kernel and partitioners." As the subsequent discussion
revealed, though, the truth of the matter is that
we're not quite that badly prepared; click below (subscribers only) for details.
The LibrePlanet conference, being held March 19-21 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will be featuring a day-long Women's Caucus on Sunday March 21st. That track will be
focusing on finding concrete ways to increase women's participation in
free software, including a panel on recruiting and retaining women, a
presentation on mentoring, and a workshop on how non-coders can take up
critical roles in free software projects. In addition, LibrePlanet has keynotes from FSF founder Richard Stallman and EFF founder John Gilmore. More information can be found on the web sites or in the schedule.
Bruce Byfield takes
a look at innovations in GNOME and KDE. "Of course, GNOME and KDE have long had features that Windows lacked, such as multiple desktops and finer controls for customizing the user experience. However, in the last few years, both major free desktops have added features that show not only an interest in usability, but, at times, an effort to anticipate what users might actually want. The focus is by no means consistent, yet scattered here and there are features that can make any user glad that they're using a open source desktop."
The H covers
the CeBIT Open Source Forum. "The CeBIT Open Source Forum, a prominent feature in the Open Source area of Hall 2, featured several lectures, demonstrations and keynote speeches on several topics, from Open Source in data centres and security, to web browsers, mobility and multimedia. The H attended several of the Open Source Forum sessions, including the introduction of the latest 6.3 release of the popular Knoppix Live Linux distribution by Knoppix creator Klaus Knopper."
Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer at Sun, reminisces about some
achievements during his tenure. "Got some of the most important software in the computer industry released under Free licenses that guarantee software freedom for people who rely on them, regardless of who owns the copyrights. Unix, Java, key elements of Linux, the SPARC chip and much more have been liberated."
Debian has updated typo3-src
(multiple vulnerabilities).
Fedora has updated bournal (F13, F12, F11: multiple vulnerabilities), F12: curl (arbitrary code execution), and F11: sudo (unintended privilege escalation). Pardus has updated sudo (unintended privilege escalation) and firefox (multiple vulnerabilities). Slackware has updated httpd (multiple vulnerabilities). »
[+] Fedora 13 Alpha released
The first alpha release of Fedora 13 is out. "We need your help to make Fedora 13 the best release yet, so please take
a moment of your time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure
the things that are important to you are working. If you find a bug,
please report it -- every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the
experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide." There is a
lot of new stuff in this release; see the announcement for a
summary.
Linus has kept his promise and released 2.6.34-rc1 a bit earlier than usual, even
though he reserves the right to pull in a few more trees yet. "So if you feel like you sent me a pull request bit might have been
over-looked, please point that out to me, but in general the merge window
is over. And as promised, if you left your pull request to the last day of
a two-week window, you're now going to have to wait for the 2.6.35
window." Nouveau users should note that they can't upgrade to this
kernel without updating their user-space as well.
TuxRadar takes a
look at several desktops and applications. "For the tinkerers and testers, 2010 is shaping up to be a perfect year. Almost every desktop and application we can think of is going to have a major release, and while release dates and roadmaps always have to be taken with a pinch of salt, many of these projects have built technology and enhancements you can play with now. We've selected the few we think are worth keeping an eye on and that can be installed easily, but Linux is littered with applications that are evolving all the time, so we've also tried to guess what the next big things might be."
Fedora has updated drupal (F12, F11:
multiple vulnerabilities), F12: fetchmail
(arbitrary code execution), and F12: sudo
(unintended privilege escalation).
Mandriva has updated openoffice.org (multiple vulnerabilities) and apache (information leak). rPath has updated openssh (information disclosure), postgresql (multiple vulnerabilities), gzip (arbitrary code execution), and mysql (multiple vulnerabilities). Slackware has updated firefox (multiple vulnerabilities). SUSE has updated kernel (multiple vulnerabilities). Ubuntu has updated gnome-screensaver (lock bypass).
LWN first looked at LogFS, a
new filesystem aimed at solid-state storage devices, back in 2007. It has
taken a long time, but, as of 2.6.34, LogFS will be in the mainline kernel
and available for use; let the benchmarking begin.

[+] Apache 2.2.15 released
Version 2.2.15 of the Apache HTTPD server is out. "Notably, this
release was updated to reflect the OpenSSL Project's release 0.9.8m of the
openssl library, and addresses CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org), the TLS
renegotiation prefix injection attack. This release further addresses the
issues CVE-2010-0408, CVE-2010-0425 and CVE-2010-0434 within mod_proxy_ajp,
mod_isapi and mod_headers respectively."
»
[+] OpenSSH 5.4 released
The OpenSSH 5.4 release is out, with a number of new features; these include a
new certificate format, a "netcat mode," a key revocation operation, better
multiplexing support, and strengthened encryption. This release also
The Register has posted an
article on a reported OpenSSL vulnerability that allows attackers to
obtain a system's private key. Before hitting the panic button, though,
it's worth seeing what's involved in carrying out this attack: "The
university scientists found that they could deduce tiny pieces of a private
key by injecting slight fluctuations in a device's power supply as it was
processing encrypted messages. In a little more than 100 hours, they fed
the device enough 'transient faults' that they were able to assemble the
entirety of its 1024-bit key." It could be a problem for keys
hidden in embedded systems, but that is probably about the extent of it.

[+] Gentoo at SCALE 8xSCALE 8x is almost here, and Gentoo will be there! Southern California's premier open-source software event is just around the corner, running from Friday, February 19 through Sunday, February 21. Several Gentoo developers will be there; it will be our biggest showing since SCALE 5x. We'll be showing off some nifty devices running Gentoo, and we'll be giving out installation media. Whether you're a developer, user, or simply curious, be sure and stop by booth #33. See you there! Gentoo has turned up in lots of interesting places before, but Michael from Misa Digital has put Gentoo to work in something entirely different: a unique instrument he invented, a MIDI guitar that uses a touchpad and digital keys instead of strings! Behold the Misa Digital Guitar: ![]() The Misa runs Gentoo Linux on an AMD Geode processor, using the Linux kernel version 2.6.31. It sports MIDI and Ethernet ports for connectivity. I had the chance to ask Michael some questions about the guitar and his preferred choice of operating system: Why Gentoo? Since the guitar is an embedded system, I needed a really minimal distribution that would boot fast and had a small footprint. After investigating Linux From Scratch, I realised I did not have the time to invest in building a complete system. I was told that the minimal install of Gentoo is like Linux From Scratch with a package manager. I probably made you cringe with that simplistic analogy but essentially it was right for me. Once I had the install up it took me no time to recompile the kernel and streamline it as much as possible. I'm not a Linux expert though, so I reckon someone else could shrink it even more. Yes, there are other solutions out there but they are surprisingly inaccessable. And the "live-CD" style distributions do not allow you to change the actual workings of the system. I figured it was best if I just used Gentoo because I have full control. What were the two biggest challenges in crafting this instrument? I would say the two biggest challenges are: 1) manufacturing and tooling the actual parts; and 2) sourcing components. When you are a lone developer with no company, trying to keep the idea "secret", no one wants to cooperate with you. For example if you need a particular electrical like a screen, ordering "one" of something is surprisingly difficult - and you can expect it in 4 to 6 weeks - really slow! And then when you get it, you realise it is not suitable, so you have to repeat the process. The only exception is a website called Digikey, which will have the parts at my doorstep in 1 week guaranteed. But they don't have everything. Working with Gentoo was a breeze, the Linux community in general is extremely helpful. What can you tell us about the hardware? There is no signal processing, it outputs digital signals via a MIDI connection. I had toyed with having an onboard sound generator but ultimately you limit the sound possibilities. By using MIDI, you are guaranteed support with practically every sequencer, synthesizer etc on the market - it is a standard that has been around for over 20 years. [The touchpad] is a 5 wire resistive touch sensor. These are the most durable screens available on the market. The LCD behind it is OEM and ordered from China. What changes to Gentoo (as a distribution) would make it easier for you to run it on the guitar? I thought Gentoo was a breeze to work with. And can I just say, the Gentoo x86 install handbook? BRILLIANT. I used it so much that I think I actually know it off by heart now. What's in store for the future? I'd just like to see these instruments hit TV :) Thanks for your time, Michael, and for crafting such a unique instrument! Be sure to watch a demonstration video of the Misa Guitar in action. »
[+] German Gentoo BookA parting gift for the German Conspiracy, Gunnar Wrobel recently acquired the rights for his own book about Gentoo, and it has now been published under a free license and is available for download. The latex source for the book is also included. Gunnar's intentions in publishing the latex source was to encourage translations... it would be neat if that really happens. Please take the time to thank Gunnar for all the excellent work he has done for Gentoo. Stephanie J. Lockwood-Childs contributed to the draft for this announcement. Yes, we will be there! Compiling all the way ... , Gentoo will be present at the 26th Chaos Communication Congress (26C3), from December 27th to 30th in Berlin, Germany. The annual conference of the Chaos Computer Club takes place at the Berliner Congress Center (bcc) in Berlin, Germany. Enjoy our ebuild hacking sessions, bug filing workshops, get some merchandise and use our local rsync/http mirror. You will find the Gentoo table on the upper floor. Hope to see you there! Robert Buchholz contributed to the draft for this announcement. The Gentoo Foundation Inc. has been approached by a few large Gentoo users about purchasing advertising on the gentoo.org side bar. They are not in the IT industry so cannot support us in the traditional way, by donating their own product. The trustees anticipate that more approaches of this nature will be received and view it as a sign of Gentoo maturing. Recognising that this would be a break with tradition, by allowing even major users to contribute to Gentoo in this way the trustees determined to put the question to a vote of Foundation members. The recording date for the vote will be 29th November. Voting will be from 1 December to 11 December, to enable the result to be available for the next Trustee meeting on 13 December.
Requirements: Please refer to the Gentoo Foundation Bylaws, in particular 4. Article IV Members The motion to be voted on will be: Should major Gentoo users be permitted to purchase ads on the sidebar - Vote yes or No If you have any questions please contact Trustees or on irc at #gentoo-trustees. Please turn your KDE radio on, and make sure to increase the volume to its maximum level for this important message. After multiple setbacks we have finally managed to stabilise KDE4 on both major desktop architectures (amd64 and x86), with other teams to follow. For this and other reasons as discussed , those of you who still use KDE3 should be seriously considering an upgrade in the near future. The KDE3 support is being deprecated with immediate effect. This means that ebuilds are dropping KDE3 support where they were broken, or clashing with KDE4.
If you wish to still use KDE3, and you want to help others with having KDE3
around, drop a mail to kde@gentoo.org, where we can give you commit access
to the special overlay which will specifically contain only KDE3 packages. Sadly upstream is not supporting KDE3 anymore and we simply lack the manpower to keep support for both (as you might have noticed in the past few months KDE3 has become more and more rusty for which we humbly apologize). Sorry to bring you the bad news and with hope that KDE4 will suit your needs, Tomas Chvatal KUDOS to Nirbheek Chauhan and David Abbott for helping to put this announcement together and Alec Warner for proofreading it. Attention Gentoo Community, After numerous bug fixes and enhancements the Ten Team would like to encourage everyone to try out the 10.1 release. A FAQ is available to assist you. We have also started a thread in our Forum. Please post any BUGS you encounter. Please download the latest testing release for your architecture Gentoo Ten Live DVD 10.1 x86 | Gentoo Ten Live DVD 10.1 amd64. Thanks for your continued support, The Gentoo-Ten Project David Abbott contributed to the draft for this announcement. Woot! Happy Birthday Gentoo. As part of the Birthday party today we announce the winning screenshots. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest. There were 54 entries using 5 different window managers / desktop environments.
For all the specifications and cool details please visit the winners page. Happy Tenth Birthday, Gentoo! Gentoo Linux is proud to announce the immediate availability of a new, special edition LiveDVD to celebrate this monumental occasion. The LiveDVD features a superb list of packages, some of which are listed below. ![]()
The Gentoo-Ten LiveDVD is available in two flavors, a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and an x86_64-only version. The livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-10.0 will work on x86 or x86_64. If your arch is x86, then boot with the default gentoo kernel. If your arch is amd64 boot with the gentoo64 kernel. This means you can boot a 64bit kernel and install a customized 64bit userland while using the provided 32bit userland. The livedvd-amd64-multilib-10.0 version is for x86_64 only. Please select your architecture to be redirected to a mirror for download: x86amd64 A FAQ is available to assist you. We have also started a thread in our Forum. Please post any bugs you encounter. In addition, we have some exceptional new artwork from Ben Stedman, and Gentoo Developer Alex Legler.
