Weekly Spotlight

BitPay’s Internal Mining Pool

At BitPay we are huge proponents of open source software and of course cool gadgets! To do some of our internal testing, we built a small pool of bitcoin miners that run raspbian. Those two miners each have a powered USB hub and a few usb miners each. They are cooled by a pair of simple USB fans. All of which sits neatly on the corner of my desk! Gotta love how easy it is to deploy something like this in such a small form factor on linux… It’s reliable, fast, and just plain looks awesome sitting on my desk!

elementary OS Freya Available For Download, See What`s New

For those not familiar with elementary OS, this is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution (with Freya being based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, supported until April 2019) which ships with its own desktop environment, called Pantheon, and its own custom application for the most part, which look great, integrate very well with the desktop and ship with sane defaults so the user doesn’t have to tweak anything.

Evolve OS Changes Name due to Legal Warning

Thank you everyone for helping us in the naming process!
In that time, one name cropped up time and time again. A name we do own, and one indicative of our history and roots.

Valve games for Mesa/DRI developers

Hi,
At Collabora (my lovely dayjob), we’ve been working with Valve on
SteamOS. Valve are keen to give back to the community, and we’ve been
discussing ways they can help do that, including providing free access
to Valve games on Steam to Debian developers last year.

We’re happy to say that this has been extended to Mesa developers as
well, to say thanks for all the great work. If you have 25 commits or
more (an arbitrary number) to Mesa0 in the past five years, please
drop me an email (with ‘Steam’ in the subject) with your freedesktop
username and Steam username. We can then get you access to all past
and future Valve-produced games available on Steam[1].
Thanks for all the great work, and enjoy.
Cheers,
Daniel

Gnome 3.16 Hits

My Updated 3.16 Packages for GNOME Extensions by Michael Tunnell aka RottNKorpse

GNOME, desktop environment project, released their latest version of 3.16 recently so I decided to make an update to my previous extension package releases. I made a similar post last year for the GNOME 3.14 Release because some of my extension broke. Unfortunately, some of those extensions are still unmaintained and thus not updated for 3.16 either. So I am continuing to update some extensions for myself and anyone else who wants them.

Intel Compute Stick, world’s smallest PC, will cost $150 with Windows, $110 with Linux

Intel Atom quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. It plugs directly into a monitor or TV via HDMI, and is powered through a Micro USB jack on the side of the stick. There’s also a full-sized USB port, and Bluetooth 4.0 for connecting a mouse and keyboard.

Bowling Alley Runs Linux

Sent in by douglascodes

I was at a work party at a bowling alley last night. There were some problems with the alley score system and they had to reboot, so I took some pics of the startup. I wasn’t able to catch it in these pictures. But it is running Ubuntu 10.10.

Desktop App Pick

ClipGrab – Free YouTube Downloader & Converter

Go For It!

Go For It! is a simple and stylish productivity app, featuring a to-do list, merged with a timer that keeps your focus on the current task. To-do lists are stored in the Todo.txt format. This simplifies synchronization with mobile devices and makes it possible to edit tasks using other front-ends, like my Todo.txt Kupfer Plugin. If you already use Todo.txt, beware of the fact, that Go For It! automatically archives completed tasks to the done list!

Microsoft Adopts ODF

Microsoft has confirmed it will start supporting the Open Documents Format (ODF) in the next update to Office 365, following a lengthy battle against the UK government.
In 2014, Microsoft went against the government’s request to support ODF, claiming its own XML format was more heavily adopted. The UK government refutes the claim, stating that ODF allows users to not be boxed into one ecosystem.

Gnome 3.16 systemd-journal coming in next Tumbleweed snapshot

It’s official, Gnome will be in the next Tumbleweed snapshot and the development experience is highly anticipated. A clean installation works, but the guys are working on one last test before its released. We’re not promising an early Easter gift, but Tumbleweed users won’t have to wait long for Gnome’s latest upgrade.

A small change to Linux can be seen in Tumbleweed with a change from the syslog to systemd-journal; the systemd-journal as a binary file needs special tools to look at it.

systemd-journal has been in Fedora since Fedora 18

Audacity 2.1.0 Released

For a long time, we have wanted Real-Time Preview for effects.
It seemed nearly unachievable without major restructuring.
But with Audacity 2.1.0, we have it in
LADSPA, VST, and Audio Unit (OS X) effects!
Thanks to Leland Lucius for these great new capabilities!

Much improved
Noise Reduction
effect replaces Noise Removal. Thanks to new contributor Paul Licameli!

Lots of other improvements to effects, also thanks to Leland, including:

VST: FXB preset banks, hosting multiple plugins

All effects can now be used in Chains, and can be sorted on name, publisher, or class.

Most Nyquist effects now have Preview button.

Redesigned Meter Toolbars show a lot more information in smaller area. Thanks, Leland Lucius and James Crook!

Spectral Selection
in Spectrogram view. Thanks to Paul Licameli!

How to Install and Run Android Apps in a Linux OS

Basically, anyone with a computer will be able to get an APK file and get it running inside the Google Chrome browser with a minimum amount of effort. What’s even more interesting is that the app only needs Google Chrome installer, it doesn’t need it to run. If you check the background processes, you will notice that a Chrome one is running along with the Arc Welder.

ARC Welder – Chrome Web Store

Gentoo, after 10 years, has a new website! – not April Fools this time!

Blender New Version 2.74 Is Out With New Tools And Improvements

The Blenders Institute’s sixth open film

The Blender Institute’s sixth film project, codenamed Gooseberry, is in deep into the most open production from the Blender Institute yet. If you’ve been following the project so far, then you already have a sense of what Blender means by an “open production”—lots of sharing.

Chrome Remote Desktop

Relies on Google, scary message when installing on Ubuntu.

VNC

Great for testing but performance is terrible and requires router configuration. Only seems to work well if client and host are on the same machine (virtual host / guest)

TeamViewer

Native on Linux and other platforms, has android app, free for personal use, but expensive for business.

Screen Connect

Perfect for large support companies, doesn’t really require user to install software. Owner is in control of branding, fraction of the cost of Bomgar

Guacamole — HTML5 Clientless Remote Desktop

Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC and RDP.
We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required.
Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

My Work Runs Linux

Sent in by Zach H
A video of me walking through the computer room (I show a couple of
different things, but feel free to edit it a lot, I have a horrible cold
right now, and this didn’t help especially since the computer room is so
loud and that it was recorded on my phone.

Desktop App Pick

Remmina

Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks.

SteamOS Update 157 has been pushed to the Alchemist Beta channel a few hours ago and the ISO images are now available for download.

Gnome 3.16 Released

Version 3.16 of GNOME, the primary desktop environment for GNU/Linux operating systems has been released. Some major new features in this release include a overhauled notification system, an updated design of the calendar drop down and support for overlay scrollbars. Also, the grid view in Files has been improved with bigger thumbnail icons, making the appearance more attractive and the rows easier to read. A video is available which demonstrates the new version.

New Ubuntu Phone Flash Sale

Canonical confirmed a few minutes ago on their Twitter and Facebook accounts that a new flash sale of the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition smartphone will take place tomorrow morning, on March 26, starting 9 AM CET (Central European Time). BQ already started shipping the Ubuntu phones to users from the European Union, so it should arrive quickly this time.
