KDE Neon Now Available as Docker Image

• I’m announcing a beta of KDE neon on Docker. Docker containers are a lightweight way to create a virtual system running on top of your normal Linux install but with its own filesystem and other rules to stop it getting in the way of your OS. They are insanely popular now for server deployment but I think they work just as well for checking out desktop and other UI setups.

NVidia New ShieldTV

• Nvidia’s Shield set-top streaming device got an update at this year’s CES, and it was a big one: The new hardware is 40 percent smaller than the original, with a new Android 7.0 Nougat-based operating system and a redesigned UI that groups games together and just generally organizes things a bit more logically. It also handles 4K HDR content streaming, and boasts the most sources available for such content of any set-top streaming device currently available.

Pornhub 2016 – Linux up by 3%

• When it comes to porn, we usually ask if you’re more into ass or tits, though the increasingly more important question when it comes to porn consumption is Apple or Android? And Pornhub never misses a chance to report on the different behavior between different OS users. So looking back at 2016, we (of course) dug into the difference in traffic and tastes by operating systems. Let’s start with desktop. While Windows continues to dominate when it comes to which operating system users count on to watch Pornhub (about 80% of desktop users), Mac OS and Linux are on the rise, with Mac OS up 8% in traffic share and Linux up an impressive 14%.

• Message: I tried this out a few times throughout this year and was happy with it until i found out it will never support ZFS. solus os has some bells and whistles as far as steam goes. except for data integrity. simple question for Ike: Do you expect me to amass 500 gig of games over a cell phone connection and trust that data wont get bit rot with any other file system than ZFS? wanna re-download 10 of them over cell connection? i didn’t think so. ike has done a great job with solus os but it falls short if it leaves out ZFS. kinda like building a car by hand and equipping it with bicycle tires. you can still drive it on some roads maybe, under some circumstances. handicapped

ive been entrusting my data to a 2 TB ZFS mirror for 2 years now and i cringe thinking about anything else.when you dont have the time or resources, you use the best.

if solus had zfs, it would be a no-brainer, especially for a game machine.

I have been listening to several of the shows that Jupiter Broadcasting has, and religiously tune in to LAS and Linux Unplugged every week. You guys are doing a great job!

Would studying with Linux Academy and getting my RHCA and RHCE be enough to get into a job making a decent wage? I know there is the Catch 22 of certs are worthless without experience. However, but if I am correct, RHCA and RHCE are performance based exams. Wouldn’t that be enough to get your foot in the door?

I have taken several Linux, Windows and Cisco courses back in 2005, 2006, however I know a lot has changed since then.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything you guys do at Jupiter Broadcasting and I want to wish you all a belated Happy New Year!

You Can Now Package Your Apps as Snaps Without Bundling Their Dependencies

This is possible now because the latest ubuntu-app-platform snap build incorporates the standard Qt 5 libraries, the QML (Qt Meta Language) runtime, the Ubuntu UI (User Interface) toolkit, and their dependencies. The Oxide web engine library based on Chromium and related QML bindings is also bundled in the ubuntu-app-platform snap, so the new Snaps should now be significantly smaller.

DalmatinerDB – A fast distributed metric store

DalmatinerDB’s performance relies heavily on taking advantage of facilities like ARC, ZIL, checksums and volume compression. Expecting those things to be handled on a filesystem level makes it possible to remove most of the code for caching, compression, validation from the application improving code simplicity, stability, and performance significantly.

• DalmatinerDB documentation
• Playing with DalmatinerDB

Essentially the main difference is that it relies on some very well tested software as the foundation. Clustering is a first class citizen and complicated compression and checksumming code is kept out of the database where ZFS can do it instead.

Currently Dalmatiner is a great database if you are looking for a reliable time series metrics store that scales and is 100% open source and not backed by a commercial company.

Ubuntu 16.10 Review

• Ubuntu 16.10

• Super fast boot into Unity (set your login to auto and give it a shot, tell me that’s not crazy fast)

• For me personally I never expected to be this surprised by Ubuntu 16.10. I was expecting just another simpler interaction. And that’s exactly what I got, and I didn’t even know I wanted it.

• Unity 7 is fast, simple, and now runs are lower end hardware and VM’s a lot better.

• This is the simple, clean, modern looking desktop I’m comfortable recommending to friends and loved ones.

• But my biggest surprises came when I found myself reloading studio production machines to Ubuntu MATE 16.10.

• From a desktop environment perspective, we need our desktops to be light on the GPU, simple in their function, and steady. MATE has played that role for a while now on top of Arch in the JB studio.

• But Ubuntu 16.10’s based on Kernel 4.8 (which brings Skylake improvements, and USB capture/camera device improvements). 16.10’s MATE flavor also ships with MATE Desktop 1.16. The first major distribution to ship a full GTK3+ implementation of the MATE Desktop.

• The roll out of the Unity 8 Preview is very humble. Very clear on what state this is in, and how end users can play and improve it.

Kernel 4.8 Features

• Linus Torvalds Announces Linux Kernel 4.8 RC4 with Skylake Power Management Fix

The biggest new feature being a fix for an Intel Skylake power management bug

• NFS Client Sees Some Performance Improvements With Linux 4.8 – Phoronix

NFS client updates for Linux 4.8, the next major kernel release, include several performance-related features, more aggressive caching, optimized several code paths, SUNRPC updates, pNFS improvements, and various bug fixes. The performance changes for the NFS client in Linux 4.8 include removing a “performance killer.”

• Support for overclocking AMD graphic cards
• Initial NVIDIA Pascal support in Nouveau driver
• Raspberry Pi 3 SoC support
• ACPI Low-Power Idle support
• Support for the Microsoft Surface 3 touch screen
• Wider range of audio device, USB and webcam drivers

Unity 8 preview session in Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak | Ubuntu Insights

The current experience comes with a minimal set of applications; a browser, terminal and systems settings. Here are a few things you might like to try to flesh out your Unity 8 session and get the most from it.

• What to do with Unity 8 now – whizzy.org

The main driver for getting Unity 8 in to 16.10 was the chance to get it in the hands of users so we can get feedback and bug reports. If you find something doesn’t work, please, log a bug. We don’t monitor every forum or comments section on the web so the absolute best way to provide your feedback to people who can act on it is a bug report with clear steps on how to reproduce the issue (in the case of crashes) or an explanation of why you think a particular behaviour is wrong. This is how you get things changed or fixed.

Ubuntu MATE 16.10 | Ubuntu MATE

The work to port MATE Desktop to GTK3+ has been ongoing for a couple
of years and Ubuntu MATE is the first major distribution to ship a
full GTK3+ implementation of the MATE Desktop. And the absolute latest
release too, MATE Desktop 1.16! Firefox and LibreOffice are also GTK3+
only in Yakkety.

This has been no small undertaking, we’ve changed toolkits twice this
cycle. First from GTK 2.24.x to GTK 3.18, and then again to GTK 3.20. The
themes required two significant upgrades during this process.
We’ve also upgraded through three MATE Desktop versions this cycle,
starting from 1.12 to 1.14, to 1.15 and finally to 1.16.

We originally planned to complete the migration to GTK3+ for the
Ubuntu MATE 17.04 release, but thanks to those of you who have generously
supported the Ubuntu MATE crowd-funding we’ve achieved that
objective well ahead of schedule!

• Ubuntu MATE 16.10 Hits the Streets with MATE 1.16 Desktop and GTK+ 3 Goodness

newest _MATE 1.16 desktop environment_based on the latest GTK+ 3.20 technologies, Ubuntu MATE 16.10 is probably the most important milestone of the official Ubuntu flavor built around the MATE Desktop

Being re-worked from scratch, more or less, Ubuntu MATE 16.10 ships with the ability for users to uninstall default applications without issues.

Subject: Ghislain is looking for a distro to do the following three things

1. Full Disk Encryption
2. Installation on RAID 1
3. Support multi screen three by default

Full Message: Hi Noah !

I still have my windows machine but i go rid of the last windows software necessary to run my business bu going webbased for my billing. For my workstation as my main working PC at my company i wanted to run a linux KDE desktop ( i love the layout of the plasma 5 desktop) but gnome would do also, i do not like at all the ubuntu unity one so i prefer to avoid it but i can live with it if i have raid and encryption.

On my research i had quite a lot of issue as most distro i tried to install do not support the basic i need “out of the box”. Those “basics” are:

• full disk encryption ( i use truecrypt on windows)
• installation on a raid 1
• support multi screen (3) by default

For now i do not find any distro that support the raid 1 thing in the installer.

I have to manually do some magic mojo to have a simple install in raid1 in the installer.

The second challenge is that allmost all the non KDE 5+ distro i tried did not support the 3 screen i have with my 2 low power AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series cards. The others would see 2 screen and not the third or see it but do not allow to move the mouse to it.

So right now i have kubuntu and antegros that is working , the last one was installed but i had to do some mojo to install it with raid and i do not have encryption so i must restart my install.

This is where you can help Do you know of a distro you think can support those simple business need (raid1, encryption, multi screen) without the need to manually tweak many thing by hand and pray no error was made ? Hope you do

Ghislain.

Ubuntu 16.10 Isn’t Going To Use Mir / Unity 8 By Default – Phoronix

Similar to the current situation with existing Ubuntu releases, Unity 8 and Mir will be available as an opt-in feature for users wanting to upgrade their desktop, but Unity 7 and the faithful X.Org Server is planned to be the default for Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak.

Plasma Mobile : New base system… Ubuntu Touch?

Our initial Ubuntu Touch base was Ubuntu 15.04. Eventually, our image started to diverge from the Ubuntu Touch base. For example, we upgraded _libhybris to upstream version_because libhybris available in Ubuntu archive diverged too much from upstream to be useful in our context. We also had to upgrade to a newer Qt version, and we also needed to upgrade the base system to Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) because we did not have the resources for managing different branches for packaging the latest git KF5/Plasma for 15.04.

OpenWRT Gets Forked By Some Of Its Own Developers As LEDE Project – Phoronix

LEDE will continue to focus upon being “a great embedded Linux distribution” with predictable release cycles and transparent decision making. Among the stated reasons for this “reboot of the OpenWRT community” is that the active core developer count was low, unreliable infrastructure, lack of communication and coordination around the project, not enough people with commit access, and lack of focus on stability and documentation.

Subsonic (music streaming software) is no longer open source, starting with 6.0 release

Sorry, no. Starting with 6.0, Subsonic is no longer open-source (the source code for older versions is still available).

The main reason for this change is that the source contains some software license codes I have purchased and that shouldn’t be used by forked projects.

Linux kernel lawsuit SCO v IBM is alive, 13 years and counting

At its core, SCO Group, then named Caldera Systems, filed suit (PDF) against IBM in March 2003 for allegedly contributing sections of commercial UNIX code from UNIX System V—which the SCO Group claimed it owned—to the Linux kernel’s codebase. SCO Group claimed that the alleged presence of its proprietary code in the open source kernel devalued its proprietary code and that by making the source code available, IBM had violated its license agreement with SCO Group. Along the way, SCO filed for bankruptcy, and the group claimed that anyone who used Linux owed them money. All the while, Novell successfully claimed ownership of the allegedly infringing code and agreed to indemnify Linux users.

Plasma 5.7 will let you login through online account

KDE is going to provide an ownCloud installation to let Plasma and KDE PIM (Kontact) users sync their data: you can already use ownCloud with cardDAV, calDAV and webDAV protocols to keep contacts, calendars and files synced across your devices, including the ones powered by Plasma and Kontact.

The next step is providing an ownCloud app to sync Plasma configurations and manage them.

Currently I’m getting around 250fps.

Google crafts new Cardboard virtual reality headset – CNET

Google on Thursday detailed its newest virtual reality device, the second-generation Cardboard. The new version is an even simpler product than the initial device, taking only three steps to construct instead of 12, and it also fits larger phone sizes, including screens up to 6 inches.

Unlike virtual reality rivals that have created systems that cost hundreds of dollars, Google has been pushing an inexpensive product that essentially anyone could afford and build, opening up VR to a broader group of consumers.

The second-generation Cardboard also includes a change in a button to cardboard from the first generation’s magnet to make input functions work with all devices. It went on sale Thursday with partners, and Google will hand out the device to everyone at its I/O developer conference — where the product was unveiled — said Clay Bavor, vice president of product management.

Fedora 22 Review Follow Up

• fedup for F23 and beyond

We’ve come to the conclusion that the current design is unsupportable,
mostly due to upgrade.img, which turns out to cause more problems than
it solves.

So! For F23, fedup needs to be redesigned. Here’s how it should work:
1) Download packages for the new system
2) Use the systemd Offline Updates facility to install packages

This is really simple – simple enough that it should probably be
provided by the system packaging tools themselves.
As a proof-of-concept, I’ve implemented it as a DNF plugin, which you
can see here: https://github.com/wgwoods/dnf-plugin-fedup
