dock – Jupiter Broadcasting

Deepin Software Center, aka DSC, is one of the most talked about applications of Linux Deepin. Installing new applications is just a one-click operation. DSC supports parallel downloading, resuming downloads, update notification and cache cleaning. DSC also comes with colorful skins that can be swapped as your mood changes.

Deepin Desktop Environment

Similar to other projects Deepin went ahead and developed their own Shell which was simply called Deepin Desktop Environment. DDE is based on HTML5 and WebKit and uses a mix of QML and Go Language for different components. Core components of DDE include the desktop itself, the brand new launcher, bottom Dock, and the control center.

Release Cycle

Deepin – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The release cycle of deepin new versions has been changed from twice a year (in June and in December) to four times a year, including two new versions and two amended versions, for example, Deepin 2014.1 is the amended version of Deepin 2014.

Moving the Steam folder on Linux is causing users’ entire file systems to be deleted

Users of Steam on GNU/Linux are reporting that attempting to move the Steam folder – something that the GNU/Linux Steam installer doesn’t allow you to set at the time of installation – is leading to everything able to be deleted being deleted recursively from root. First entered as a bug report by the Github user keyvin, he explained how he tried to move the directory somewhere else and symlink it to the original location. In almost every use case under the Sun, this usually works without too many problems. Unfortunately for keyvin, however, a bug in Steam proceeded to delete everything it was able to on his computer – even the content on his 3TB external storage.

‘Goodbye Photoshop’ and ‘Hello Krita’ at University Paris 8

The ATI (Art and Technology of Image) department at University Paris 8 is switching to Krita this year. This department has the double aim to train students both to use graphic software (2D,3D,VFX and Compositing) and to code their own (Python, C#, C++). Until recently the classes used only Adobe Photoshop, but because of inadequate support from the company the department decided to
replace that.

After rebuilding his KDE desktop better and stronger than before, Chris and Matt dig into what really seems to be troubling the Gnome project, what really makes a desktop easy to use, and if the Ubuntu Edge campaign was a sophisticated PR stunt.

Shit KDE Says:

Saturday 18:22 I perform an packer -Syu like a boss.
Elect to not reboot, like a boss
Sunday Morning I shutdown before LAS to move out to the studio. Gotta clean the pipes.

[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded perl-xml-libxml (2.0101-1 -> 2.0103-1)
[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded pyqt4-common (4.10.2-2 -> 4.10.3-1)
[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded sip (4.14.7-1 -> 4.15-1)
[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded python-sip (4.14.7-1 -> 4.15-1)
[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded python-pyqt4 (4.10.2-2 -> 4.10.3-1)
[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded python2-sip (4.14.7-1 -> 4.15-1)
[2013-08-22 18:22] [PACMAN] upgraded python2-pyqt4 (4.10.2-2 -> 4.10.3-1)

I log in, trying to get ready for LAS but KDE kicks an error

Executable: plasma-desktop PID: 830 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

My desktop flashes a few times and I am SOL.
Based on recommendations from the professional internet people in the IRC, I backup/move my .kde4 folder
I log in, and find my KDE as fresh as a up and coming crossdressing porn star\’s arse.
Debated the quick fix, which involved going in with laser like rm strike teams.

rm -rf ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*

But in stead upted for the boss level route:

rm -rf ~/.kde4

This put me back at square zero with my KDE config.
This time around I decided to double down on tweaking defaults from the go.
My initial switch to KDE I tried to keep things default. That was a big mistake.
KDE is meant to be tweaked.
Started with \”System Settings\” and just went down each and every single option one by one until I was happy.
My KDE setup is even more amazing then before. Really love my current setup.

Ubuntu Edge: Things Just got Crazy

Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage
4.5in 1,280 x 720 HD sapphire crystal display
8mp low-light rear camera, 2mp front camera

GPS, accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor, compass, barometer
Stereo speakers with HD audio, dual-mic recording, Active Noise Cancellation
MHL connector, 3.5mm jack
Silicon-anode Li-Ion battery
64 x 9 x 124mm

In this post I will share some materials, stories and process during the development of the Ubuntu Edge.

“Today, Geeksphone announced the pre-sale of a new device based on Boot to Gecko technology. We want to clarify that this new phone that was announced is based on Boot to Gecko technology with pre-release software, but is not a certified or supported Firefox OS device.”

Enter the contest for a chance to win $500 worth of eBooks from O’Reilly Media, free registration to LinuxCon/CloudOpen conference, an Adafruit kit to make a solar MintyBoost, or a one-year subscription to MAKE Magazine.

— /etc: ReactOS Review —

Brought to you by: Untangle

Download | ReactOS Project

The ReactOS software includes binary and source distributions of the latest ReactOS. This includes the kernel, various subsystems and some basic applications.

Notes:

Installer looks straight outta NT4 / Win2k DOS days.
File system choices are FAT32 or ext2
In a future where ChromeOS and tablets are a viable platform for the majority of your computing, ReactOS could play the role of enabling legacy support for old Win32 apps. In a sense, further eliminating in shred of legitimacy the Windows platform could hold 7+ years out.

Thanks for the TBs!
