Introducing Pinos

So what is Pinos? One of the original goals of Pinos was to provide the same level of advanced hardware handling for Video that PulseAudio provides for Audio. For those of you who has been around for a while you might remember how you once upon a time could only have one application using the sound card at the same time until PulseAudio properly fixed that. Well Pinos will allow you to share your video camera between multiple applications and also provide an easy to use API to do so.

ownCloud 8.1 Coming Soon

The first release candidate of ownCloud 8.1 is ready for testing. This release will bring many performance improvements, Encryption 2.0 and much more. If you’re an avid ownCloud user, this is the time to test the upcoming release and make sure it can deal with your specific installation. Get the release on the ownCloud website.

Yotaphone Adopts Sailfish – Drops Android

Today the news has it for us as Yota Phone, the recently famous Russian [Android] phone manufacturer with their revolutionary “two-faced” phone has dropped their near-stock Android OS in favor of our beloved Sailfish OS which has raised a fair bit of keyboard warriors to attack the comments section on some websites saying things like “Why dumping the most popular OS in the world for the least popular?” Uh, excuse me as your most popular OS (Which I admit I am an Android user alongside Sailfish) does not care about user’s privacy and wants to send everything directly to that famous and most hated agency in the world! (NSA)

No, the Yotaphone Isn’t Switching From Android to Sailfish | Ink, Bits, & Pixels

Codeweavers On DX11 in WINE, Steam Machines & Porting

The recent news of WINE/Crossover supporting DX11 is significant, because up until now there were no FOSS solutions to get such support. Sure, the eON wrapper from Virtual Programming was one commercial option for game companies to develop ports for Linux, but it was not available for end users. With WINE supporting DX11, this opens up a whole new library of recent Windows games for the Linux platform.

Steam Streaming Revealed:

Brought to you by: System76

How do you get it?

Steam Community :: Group :: Steam In-Home Streaming

Requirements

A machine powerful enough on the “server” side to play the game, and encode it.
A machine on the client side powerful enough to decode whatever the resolution of video is it will be receiving (resolution is set to the servers screen size).
About 3MB/s sustained transfer. That might be trickier than you think over Wifi.

Game Streaming

Games installed on Windows box show up in my Library
Game install status is displayed on the Linux steam client while the Windows box is installing.
I was able to stream Dust from Linux to my Windows box.
When the game you are streaming is running for the first time on the host Windows box, and the DirectX reds is getting installed, Steam will inform you that the remote system is running first time setups on the remote box.
UAC will break this process at this time.
Steam In-Home Streaming Beta Demonstration

Non-Steam Application Streaming

Valve open up in-home streaming beta to non-Steam games

In this latest instance, they’ve updated the Steam client beta’s in-home streaming functionality to support “streaming non-Steam games in the Steam library”. That means, whether they’re part of Steam or not, you’ll be able to beam your most powerful games between local area network PCs. Even Minesweeper.

You might lose title bars.
If you’re tricky enough you can get to the full Windows desktop.
Everything is full screen. Loading boxes, new windows, etc.

Notes

All Windows stream as full screen, so loading boxes are full screen while the app loads.
Works from Big Picture Mode
My Life is now complete – I can now change my main pc to my laptop (arch) and stream my games to either the laptop or shield from the desktop

Linux 3.13 is out bringing among other thing the first official release of nftables. nftables is the project that aims to replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables framework aka iptables. nftables version in Linux 3.13 is not yet complete. Some important features are missing and will be introduced in the following Linux versions. It is already usable in most cases but a complete support (read nftables at a better level than iptables) should be available in Linux 3.15.

The SteamOS non-UEFI / legacy BIOS support is derived from the community’s “Ye Olde SteamOSe” distribution fork. With this SteamOS Beta update, dual-boot and custom partitioning are also possible via the SteamOS installer’s “expert install” mode.

This week on, The Linux Action Show!

We review the new Linux photo management software ShotWell and see how it stacks up to Picasa and F-Spot!

Then we cover the C|Net article that claims 20% of Android Apps are really SPYING on you! We break it down and get to the bottom of what’s really going on, and who the source behind this study gets paid by!

Plus we hand out some useful security tips for new Linux users, and we’ll give you our take on our personal approach to staying secure under Linux, and why the myth that Linux is more secure can lead to carelessness!
