Fixing a Trackpad

We recently purchased an Asus Republic of Gamer Laptop. Model G752V

The issue is when you press on the trackpad buttons they do not register a click right or left. If you place your finger even lightly on the trackpad the left button then registered but not the right. If you place TWO fingers on the trackpad and click with the left button it registers as a right click.

If you execute the command synclient ClickPad=0 the left button then works but still no right click.

We have researched the problem at length and basically what we’ve concluded is that it requires a Kernel patch.

I have a meeting on Monday evening at which point I either need this problem fixed or I am going to have to find another solution, and I don’t have any more time to spend on it.

If there is someone out there that knows how to / is willing to help me fix this, I am willing to pay you! Get ahold of me via telegram, twitter, or email @Kernellinux or noah [at] jupiterbroadcasting [dot] com with a quote. BY MONDAY NIGHT I WILL HAVE ANOTHER SOLUTION!

Subject: Bulletproof Linux
Message:

Here’s my suggestion for your bulletproof Linux setup.

Stick with Arch that you know and love, but build it on a filesystem that supports snapshots (I’d recommend ZFS). Then setup auto snapshotting e.g. every day.

I rebuilt my main system just before Christmas on ZFS, then some weeks later as an after thought, enabled daily snapshots. The very next day I did something silly whilst browsing, clicked on a dodgy link, and started having windows opening by themselves. The solution – logout, drop to a terminal, issue a single “zfs rollback” command, and my home partition was restored to how it was when I’d booted that day!

Arch is pretty stable, despite being rolling. Providing you reboot when you update and follow the Arch Announcements list you won’t have any issues. I also only update monthly as I can’t see the point in doing so more frequently for a system that you want to keep stable.

Dell XPS 15 Kaby Lake w/ Nvidia 1050 review

Re: RAID56 status?

I’d like to update the wiki to “More and more RAID5/6 bugs are found”

OK, no kidding, at least we did exposed several new bugs, and reports
already exists for a while in mail list.

Some examples are:

1) RAID5/6 scrub will repair data while corrupting parity
   Quite ironic, repairing is just changing one corruption to
   another.

2) RAID5/6 scrub can report false alerts on csum error

3) Dev-replace cancel sometimes can cause kernel panic.

And if we find more bugs, I’m not surprised at all.

So, if really want to use RAID5/6, please use soft raid, then build
single volume btrfs on it.

I’m seriously considering to re-implement btrfs RAID5/6 using device
mapper, which is tried and true.

Building a local Steam caching server to ease the bandwidth blues | Ars Technica

SteamPipe is used to deliver what the client needs, be it a whole game or just an update, in roughly megabyte-size chunks. (Chunking like this allows developers to publish updates without having to push a whole new game package—they just invalidate old chunks and upload new ones.) As Valve points out on the SteamPipe developer community page, SteamPipe uses plain ol’ HTTP rather than a proprietary protocol. And that gives us the opportunity to stick our fingers into the process and mess with it.

How things will work with our Steam caching server if what we want isn’t in cache.

MATE in 16.04 to support Client Side Decoration (CSD) and Header Bars

The attached screenshot shows a number of applications that use Client Side Decoration and Header Bars. They are pictured here running on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 daily using the Marco window manager with software compositing enabled.

You may not be a fan of CSD applications, but there are a good number of them and undoubtedly there will be many more released over the coming years. It would be remiss of the Ubuntu MATE team to not provide first class CSD application support for the upcoming LTS release. With these changes, Ubuntu MATE can finally bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary applications.

Is the Future Snappy?

Snappy are repackaged .deb packages, which bring its own libraries and therefore might be a bit bigger than usual debs.

Advantages
Developers can choose which version of libraries they want you to use
If an update failed you can reverse to the last working one without any problems
Apps are sandboxed and cannot modify or read files that they aren’t supposed to
Cons
Bigger files
Developers have to update snaps if there is a security hole in a library
Snaps are Ubuntu exclusive, afaik

The questions we have:

Its approach is nothing new: just bundled libs, as Windows does. This is a security nightmare.

Could this lead to a security nightmare? All those linked libs?

Open source webmail clients for browser-based email

Gmail has enjoyed phenomenal success, and regardless of which study you choose to look at for exact numbers, there’s no doubt that Gmail is towards the top of the pack when it comes to market share. For certain circles, Gmail has become synonymous with email, or at least with webmail. Many appreciate its clean interface and the simple ability to access their inbox from anywhere.

But Gmail is far from the only name in the game when it comes to web-based email clients. In fact, there are a number of open source alternatives available for those who want more freedom, and occasionally, a completely different approach to managing their email without relying on a desktop client.

Let’s take a look at just a few of the free, open source webmail clients out there available for you to choose from.

FastMail: Fast, reliable email

FastMail is the choice of over 100,000 individuals, families and businesses. We deliver the highest standards of security, privacy and reliability for your email, calendars and contacts, backed up by our exemplary 15-year track record.

KolabNow

With over 108 billion business emails sent daily, email is the backbone of professional communication. Kolab provides the email, contact and file sharing functionality that empowers enterprise communication.

Looking for a fully featured collaboration and communication platform? Seeking the convenience of the cloud, without having to worry about who else might have access? Want to ensure that your data is stored only in a single legislation, with highest barriers to data disclosure? Kolab Now is that service.

Safeguard your professional and personal data with Kolab Now. Enjoy the world’s world’s best privacy legislation and terms of service that put you first. All of this with a feature set that is complete to allow you to run your entire business collaboration.

DarkMail

Silent Circle and Lavabit are developing a new way to do email with end-to-end encryption. We welcome like-minded organizations to join our alliance.

To bring the world our unique end-to-end encrypted protocol and architecture that is the ‘next-generation’ of private and secure email. As founding partners of The Dark Mail Technical Alliance, both Silent Circle and Lavabit will work to bring other members into the alliance, assist them in implementing the new protocol and jointly work to proliferate the world’s first end-to-end encrypted ‘Email 3.0’ throughout the world’s email providers. Our goal is to open source the protocol and architecture and help others implement this new technology to address privacy concerns against surveillance and back door threats of any kind.

Flowblade 1.2

Flowblade 1.2 is the ninth release of Flowblade.

Flowblade has now been ported to GTK3.
The process was not as straight forward as one might think but eventually everything worked out. There always seemed to be just one more little change in API that required all instances to be fixed by hand. Luckily there was a conversion script available that did most of the grunt work to get things going.
We did get something in return. A small but percipteble responsiveness improvement was gained probably because GTK3 provides a Cairo widget for creating custom widgets that is now used instead of the project specific Cairo widget that was used before. GTK3 also seems to render widgets a bit crispier.
I really hope that major API breaking version jumps for widget toolkits are avoided as much as possible. Projects with large interface and small man power can really suffer here.
There were some other major developments during the cycle too:
All rendering was moved out of process as the in-process rendering was found to not work correctly in same cases.
Dark theme support was improved. It is now possible to use a dark theme just by setting a preference if the GTK3 theme used has a dark variant available.
Small screen support has been upgraded. The application now works better on 768px height screens.

Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition No Longer Available for Sale in Europe

“Unfortunately Europe has already run through their forecasted inventory (they sold better than we expected). The US still has inventory on hand. Because there will be a next gen coming out we won’t be getting any more of this model. Thanks for the support!” wrote Dell’s Barton George on his website. He’s the same guy who announced that the XPS 13 was brought back to the shop a while back.

Mozilla: data stolen from hacked bug database was used to attack Firefox

Mozilla added that the attacker accessed 185 non-public Firefox bugs, of which 53 involved “severe vulnerabilities.” Ten of the vulnerabilities were unpatched at the time, while the remainder had been fixed in the most recent version of Firefox at the time.

Attack code exploiting Android’s critical Stagefright bugs is now public

The critical flaws, which reside in an Android media library known as libstagefright, give attackers a variety of ways to surreptitiously execute malicious code on unsuspecting owners’ devices. The vulnerabilities were privately reported in April and May and were publicly disclosed only in late July. Google has spent the past four months preparing fixes and distributing them to partners, but those efforts have faced a series of setbacks and limitations.

Another btrfs snafu… glad I am sitting this one out

Stable kernel version 3.19.1+ can cause a deadlock at mount time

workaround: boot with older kernel, or run btrfs-zero-log to clear the log (beware of the consequences)

fix: scheduled for 3.19.4, or apply 9c4f61f01d269815bb7c37.

also affected: 3.14.35+, 3.18.9+

Versions from 3.15 up to 3.16.1 suffer from a deadlock that was observed during heavy rsync workloads with compression on, it’s recommended to use 3.16.2 and newer

Razer is launching an open-source VR headset this year

This year, Razer’s announcing an open-source software and hardware initiative known as “OSVR.”

That acronym stands for — you guessed it — “Open-Source Virtual Reality.”

Razer is releasing every detail of its virtual reality headset and the software that makes it work as open-source, enabling developers, makers and other enterprising individuals to create their own versions. The company’s also making and selling its own “Hacker Dev Kit”, set to debut sometime between now and June.

Razer Unveils Its $100 Android-Powered Gaming Console, Razer Forge TV

The Razer Forge TV is a micro-console, 4×4 inches and selling for $100, and Razer hopes it will give the company three new routes into your living room: as a platform for hardcore PC gaming, for Android gaming, and for Android-based entertainment services via Google Play. The Razer Forge TV is due out in Q1.

It has quad-core processing (Qualcomm Snapdragon 805; Quad-Core Krait 450 CPU – 2.5 GHz per core); a high-end graphics engine (Adreno 420 GPU

Wireless and network connectivity; 16 GB of internal storage and 2 GB of RAM.

On the non-gaming front, the Forge TV will also work as an entertainment hub, letting users stream music, videos and other apps, and photos to their televisions.

External hard drives? Pfah! Samsung just launched external SSDs

Samsung’s 250GB external SSD is priced at $179.99, a 500GB drive is $299.99, and a 1TB drive is $599.99.

The Portable SSD T1 drives will connect to a PC’s USB 3.0 port. The SSDs have sequential read and write speeds of 450MB per second, random read speeds of 8,000 IOPS (input/output per second) and random write speeds of 21,000 IOPS.

Dell’s new XPS 13 has a stunning edge-to-edge display

2015’s XPS 13 will ship with an even better and truly beautiful 13.3-inch “infinity” display. It has an incredibly tiny 5.2mm bezel on the top and sides. While previous models of the XPS 13 have always had an impressively small bezel, the latest feels truly edge-to-edge, and it’s dazzling to look at. Dell hasn’t just stopped at thin bezels, though, and the 2015 model now has an optional 3200 x 1800 high-resolution touchscreen display. That’s a massive improvement over the 1366 x 768 resolution we disliked on the original.

Dell is claiming the new XPS 13 is the “smallest 13-inch laptop on the planet,” thanks primarily to the 13.3-inch borderless display that’s squeezed into an 11-inch size laptop

Russel shares re code academy:

“Ultimately we came to the conclusion that learning from a book or a more rigorous source is far better for actually learning a language, but Codecademy is still useful for a quick reminder on stuff like syntax. I used Code School to learn Ruby and didn\’t have any of these issues, I suppose the lesson is that you get what you pay for.”

John writes:

“After your last C++ show I got all fired up to learn C++. I\’ve heard many times how bad Java guys are C++ so I am trying my best not to suck too much. One thing I don\’t quite understand is where C++ coders go for much of the API that I am used to using with Java. i.e stuff like HTTP libraries, XML/XSLT manipulation, database integration etc. I know Qt has a lot of that but so far all my C++ applications have just turned into Qt applications and I feel i\’m somewhat missing the point. “
