Runs Linux:

ESA astronaut Tim Peake will take part in an experiment dubbed ‘SUPVIS-M’ (Supervisory Control of Mars Yard Rover) in which he will operate, from the International Space Station (ISS), a UK-built rover – Bridget – located in the Airbus Mars Yard in Stevenage, UK.

Source: [Runs Linux] Rover controlling software – ESA – Starts at 5:09s : LinuxActionShow

Getting started with Linux:

Obtain the Ubuntu Install image from ubuntu.com

Write the Ubuntu installation image to a USB flash media device. On PC use Etcher or Rufus & on a mac, use Etcher. Be careful to make sure the flash drive is chosen in this step.

Once that is finished, eject the drive and insert the drive into your PC/Mac

When booting the PC/Mac press F2 (or your computer’s hotkey to access the boot menu), or if you’re running a newer version of Windows such as 8 or 10 boot into Windows, press start, go to advanced start options, choose UEFI Settings, Disable secureboot. Boot back into Windows repeat the steps to get back into UEFI and choose to boot off of the USB device.

Play around with the live demo system and if you enjoy it, follow the on screen instructions to install Ubuntu either as a secondary option to MacOS X or Windows, or as the only option, whichever you prefer.

Weekly Spotlight

OpenRA – Release 20150424

New Spring 2015 release of OpenRA, the Open Source classic Command & Conquer game engine

OpenRA is a Libre/Free Real Time Strategy project that recreates the classic Command & Conquer titles.

We include recreations of C&C (Tiberian Dawn), C&C: Red Alert, and Dune 2000. These are not intended to be perfect copies, but instead combine the classic gameplay of the originals with modern improvements such as unit veterancy and the fog of war.

OpenRA’s primary focus is cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, OS X, and Linux; however, we include a number of single-player missions, and also support skirmish games against AI bots.

Debian 8.0 Jessie Released – Phoronix

As expected, Debian 8.0 “Jessie” was officially released today after being in development for two years.
Over at Debian.org you can read the official release announcement for Jessie. Among the changes in Debian 8.0 are improved UEFI support, defaulting to systemd as the init system, and a whole ton of package updates.

Ubuntu 15.04 Flavors Now Available for Download

Arriving with the final stable release of Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet are downloads for a colorful array of official community flavors.

And this year there’s an extra spin in motion.

Ubuntu MATE (pronounced Maah-tay) wasformally welcomed into the official Ubuntu flavors club earlier this year.

Ubuntu MATE ships with a fork of the older GNOME 2 desktop called MATE and is well suited to both lower-end hardware.

Ubuntu MATE 15.04 was released today, this being the first version as an official member of the Ubuntu family. Compared to the previous releases, when the distro was an unofficial flavor, there are numerous changes, including new default applications, a built-in panel layout switcher, new default theme and much more.

crouton is a set of scripts that bundle up into an easy-to-use, Chromium OS-centric chroot generator. Currently Ubuntu and Debian are supported (using debootstrap behind the scenes), but \”Chromium OS Debian, Ubuntu, and Probably Other Distros Eventually Chroot Environment\” doesn\’t acronymize as well (crodupodece is admittedly pretty fun to say, though).

“You guys weren’t kidding, they really do pay attention to all the small details. There’s even a removable, cleanable filter on the bottom at the vent intake! Now that’s class! It says we really care about what we sell and go the extra mile to make sure it lasts as long as possible. And from the moment of my order, until and after it shipped, Emma was right there answering any questions I had and letting me know what the status was. A very personal touch you just don’t find anymore. You can bank on any future computer I purchase will have the System76 logo on it.”

Matt’s Howto:

The bulk of the howto is going to be in the video. However, there are some things you need access to.

1) Kdenlive – use this Ubuntu PPA if you’re using Ubuntu 11.10.
In a terminal window:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kdenlive

2) When you first run Kdenlive, it’s likely going to give you some first run errors, regarding ML, cancel instead of closing the app (so the first run wizard runs again later).
If running Ubuntu 11.10 and you’ve added the PPA, you will want to add/update the following.

From Synaptic, search for libmlt++3 – if it’s showing you have anything older than version 0.7.6, update the package. Also double check that libmlt-data and libmlt4 are installed.

Now you can run kdenlive again and it will show everything is working perfectly.

3) To run your webcam successfully in Google Plus hangouts, make sure your webcam is plugged in (directly, no hubs). Open up a Google Plus hangout without joining it. Visit “check settings”. If the webcam is working, great. If it’s not, then close the browser and install WebcamStudio from the latest Deb package. It will installed either via Gdebi or from the Software Center automatically.

3a) If you want/need to run WebcamStudio, perhaps because your webcam wasn’t detected in Firefox or Chrome, start the software, follow along with the video to get the software running with your webcam.

4) Since your end goal is to record Google Plus hangouts as a video, you will need to install the screen recording software known as Kazam.
In a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kazam-team/stable-series
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kazam

5) Open the Kazam software as I showed you in the video and confirm your settings and begin recording. To stop recording once you’ve started, look to the upper right near the network settings and clock, right click on the Kazam widget and stop recording from there. Remember: Do not export to a video editor directly as the video file will not be saved normally. Choose to save it for later instead.

6) With Kazam recording and WebcamStudio using your webcam, open a browser with the Google Video chat plugin installed, browse to Google Plus, then start a hangout.

7) Once the hangout is finished, close the hangout, stop Kazam, save the file, import it into Kdenlive. Drag the video into the timeline, cut the clip as to make sure the area you wish to obscure is covered. Tip: When moving the obscure box corners, understand that it’s very sensitive and getting the cursor into position takes a steady hand. So patience is critical.

8) Save the project, export it as you see fit.
