Fixing a broken or forgotten Gnome Keyring

• GNOME/Keyring – ArchWiki

If you get a password prompt every time you login, and you find that passwords are not saved, you might need to create/set a default keyring.

Ensure that the seahorse package is installed, open it (“Passwords and Keys” in system settings) and select View > By Keyring If there is no keyring in the left column (it will be marked with a lock icon), go to File > New > Password Keyring and give it a name. You will be asked to enter a password. If you do not give the keyring a password it will be unlocked automatically, even when using autologin, but passwords will not be stored securely. Finally, right-click on the keyring you just created and select “Set as default”.

Goran J Writes

Subject: HiDPI Support in Linux
Message: Hi Chris and Noah…and Rikai

Today I bought a brand new 28” Samsung UHD monitor so I could enjoy its glorious 4K resolution in my Linux Mint desktop. When I turned on the monitor I was caught by surprise. The image was beautiful and everything was super sharp….and super super tiny at the same time. Searching through the Linux Mint and the nVidia settings I could not find HiDPI option so I can scale my desktop and have a more enjoyable environment. Internet search came back with results that HiDPI in Linux is still not a standard feature. With the amount of 4K display on the market I wonder why. Is there any other Linux Distro that offers HiDPI scaling or I am out of options?

Thanks!
Goran J

Dave M Writes

Subject: Contact other listeners
Message: Hi Guys/Gals!

I often hear Chris mention anecdotes of listeners getting hired into Linux jobs, and I’d like to hire some of them.

Since there’s no official forum aside from Reddit, and I’m not keen on the idea of posting job listings on Reddit, what would you suggest as a way for me to reach out to JB listeners in the New England area (or willing to move here) that might be looking for a Linux-centric tech job?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Dave M

Linux Adventure pt 1: First Look | dominickm.com

The machine I’m running is Ubuntu 15.10 on a slim Dell tower with no graphics card and 8GB of Ram — it should be noted that it started with 4GB but I found that I had a spare stick lying around, so I went ahead and pushed it to eight. Overall, the performance has been phenomenal and there have been no obvious speed or animation issues in the Unity desktop.

Cyanogen Launches A New MOD Platform For Deeper Integration Of Apps In Android — Not To Be Confused With The CyanogenMod Custom ROM

Here is a list of the MODs that will be available on launch and what you should expect them to do:

• Skype: integrates in the native dialer for VOIP calling, call history, and easy switching from voice to video calls.
• Cortana: “hands-free multitasking” including voice-activated selfies.
• Hyperlapse: integrates as a mode in the native camera, allows you to shoot Hyperlapses.
• OneNote: has many entry points in the OS (dialer, browser, email, calendar) to quickly jot down notes, as well as a Quick Settings tile.
• TrueCaller: identifies spam calls and texts right away and lets you block them.
• Social lockscreen: shows relevant posts right on your lockscreen. The promo photo only demonstrates Instagram with the full photo taking up your lockscreen and the caption in the lower part.

You should expect the MOD platform to roll out to users with the Cyanogen OS 13 update

• Upgraded to KDE 4.11 this AM before Coder Radio. Audio problems better?

The rate of games coming to Linux. I check for new games weekly now, and almost install two or three new games a week. This is amazing.

We need to track Steam better as a community. Each month the numbers come out we don\’t have any good visualization of how we are doing. Asymco for Apple for example.

Luna OS review Forgot:

• Good desktop for developers. Ubuntu LTS compatibility/support with simple UI to let them focus.

• App indicators work

• In a couple years high end OEMs like System76 might move to Elementary OS if Ubuntu totally jumps the mobile shark

• They plan to go w/Wayland, not Mir. Big diff from Ubuntu.

The post Edge of Failure | LINUX Unplugged 2 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

We’ll review this highly anticipated distribution. Is it heavy handed idealism, or one of the true desktop contenders? It’s been in development for years, elementary OS hits 1.0 this week, and we give it our full attention.

PLUS: Our prognoses for the Ubuntu Edge campaign, more Firefox OS hardware hits the streets, we share some Podcasting secrets…
