The 3.1 series is the first based on the new netcode, with new terrain renderer and many other changes. The main target are systems capable of OpenGL 2.0 (with shaders), but at least the important things like team colours should work with OpenGL 1.4+ (some things might look strange though). Configuration uses a new directory, [...] The 10.8 version of Simutrans Experimental has been recently released. This is a bug fix release, with some small feature changes to assist in balancing games, especially online games. Xonotic, the open-source multi-platform game that succeeded Nexuiz, is finally moving closer to its 1.0 release. Xonotic 1.0 was talked about at FOSDEM 2012 this weekend in Belgium within the open-source game developers’ meeting room. Nexuiz was forked as Xonotic by the community in early 2010 following and their first development preview came more than [...] KDE is fast becoming the favorite of GNU/Linux users. At least that’s what I have been witnessing in my circle. I can’t say about others but I am currently running Gnome Shell 3 and KDE on my main machines. Gnome Shell 3 and KDE While Gnome Shell is on a development highway and we can [...] Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 251 for the week January 30 – February 5, 2012. == Links to UWN == * Wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue251 == In This Issue == * Precise Pangolin Alpha 2 Released! * Developer Week: Summaries Days 1-3 * The Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter Needs You! * Ubuntu 12.04 Development update [...] The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 12 KDE. Linux Mint 12 KDE New features at a glance: KDE 4.7.4 Hybrid ISO images Search engines Upstream components For a complete overview and to see screenshots of the new features, visit: “What’s new in Linux Mint 12 KDE“. Release notes: Moonlight Upstream [...] Welcome to Precise Pangolin Alpha 2, which will in time become Ubuntu 12.04. Pre-releases of Precise Pangolin are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and [...] Canonical announced a few minutes ago, February 1st, that the Unity 5.2 interface is ready for testing on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) platform. Unity 5.2 brings multi-monitor support (Unity launchers appear on each monitor, and when scrolling across a monitor, you should feel some resistance in order to allow for you to use [...] The first question you will ask yourself (probably) is “why on earth would I need a firewall? Linux is secure, right?” Right, and I know lots of desktop Linux users that never had to touch the subject or don’t know what iptables or Netfilter is. Which is probably just fine, but that doesn’t mean Linux [...] The recently released Linux Mint 12 offers a two pronged approach to supporting those who prefer the traditional Gnome desktop. Firstly, the Mint Gnome Shell Extensions (MGSE) transform Gnome 3 into something resembling Gnome 2. Secondly it ships with Mate, the Gnome 2.0 fork project. The latest version of Mint channels Gnome 2.0 goodness via [...] Hi people! The “DEFT team” (formed by me, Massimiliano Dal Cero, Sandro Rossetti, Paolo Dal Checco, Davide “Rebus” Gabrini, Emanuele Gentili, Meo Bogliolo, Marco Giorgi and Valerio Leomporra) is pleased to announce the release of the stable version of DEFT 7, the first toolkit able to perform Computer Forensics, Mobile Forensics, Network Forensics, Incident Response [...] I have been a long time Ubuntu user, been using it since 2006. I loved it and have been installing it on user’s PC’s until version 11.04 came out with Unity. Before you get a wrong impression let me make it clear that I love to try new things as long as they don’t come [...] Ubuntu team knows how to stay in news. Two months before the release of Ubuntu 12.04, Mark has exploded a bomb which is making everyone talk about Ubuntu. This time its HUD in the spot-light. Both sides, those against the idea of messing up with Ubuntu UI and those who support it are trying to [...] When it comes to branding, the open source world is rarely at the front of the pack. Free software hackers tend to be much better at writing code than they are at designing logos, inventing names and developing elegant color schemes. But Canonical has long stood out as an exception, and its latest stride — [...] Basic Linux system auditing is a bit tricky and data collected and information of that is out of place and… Cloud infrastructure was always meant to be based on open standards, and organisations that choose to buy capacity from public clouds that only support one standard are creating problems for themselves in the future, according to Ubuntu creator Canonical. “All the world’s biggest clouds are built on open source technology,” said Canonical’s vice president Chris [...] This article is about how to create a DVD image of your machine with the exact same software included on the disk. This can be done using a software called Relinux. Relinux is a fork of the recently discontinued Remastersys. 1 Preliminary Note The image created with Relinux can under no circumstances be greater than [...] A discussion for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has been ignited about bringing back an “Ubuntu Classic” option that would attempt to mimic the old GNOME 2.x experience. Meanwhile in the Fedora camp there is a discussion about a Unity desktop port to their distribution. While Ubuntu’s Unity interface has come a long way since it made [...] The Ubuntu operating system is to replace its application menus with a “head-up display” (HUD) box. Users control the HUD interface by typing in the command they want carried out. Developers of the Linux-based software say they will initially offer the HUD as an option, allowing users to “hide” their menu bars. They say that [...] Canonical’s Mark Shuttleworth is getting a lot of notice for a blog post he has up, that defends the Heads-Up Display (HUD) interface that the upcoming version 12.04 LTS version of Ubuntu will feature. Shuttleworth’s post characterizes the interface as a big new step for Ubuntu, and he offers a screenshot and a video illustrating [...] | |||||
