Ubuntu MATE 16 10 Yakkety Yak Gets A Unity HUD Like Searchable Menu

Ubuntu MATE 16 10 Yakkety Yak Gets A Unity HUD Like Searchable Menu


MATE HUD, a Unity HUD-like tool that allows searching through an applications menu, was recently uploaded to the official Yakkety Yak repositories, and is available (but not enabled) by default in Ubuntu MATE 16.10.

Ubuntu MATE HUD

MATE HUD is a fork of i3-hud-menu, which weve covered recently, with a few changes:
  • xprop was replaced with a Python implementation;
  • rofi is used instead of dmenu;
  • rofi is automatically themed based on the current GTK theme;
  • the settings (including configurable keyboard shortcut) are stored in Dconf (org > mate > hud).

Slightly off-topic: Rofi is a lot like dmenu, with various improvements, like mouse support (allows selecting items using the mouse; dmenu does not). Furthermore, Rofi provides a window switcher, run dialog and SSH launcher. Check it out HERE. Youll find Rofi in the official Ubuntu repositories (15.10+).

Like i3-hud-menu, MATE HUD has some limitations, like not supporting Qt applications, Firefox, Thunderbird, or LibreOffice. It can also break the LibreOffice menu completely, as long as the "libreoffice-gtk" desktop integration package is installed. Check out our i3-hud-menu article for more information.

To try MATE HUD, you need to be running the latest Ubuntu MATE 16.10 Yakkety Yak. After installing all the available updates, you should see an option in MATE Tweak (under "Panel") that allows enabling MATE HUD:


If you cant see this option, make sure youve installed all the available updates (if youre using a repositories mirror, it may take a while until the package is synced). Alternatively, you can install MATE HUD using the following command:

sudo apt install mate-hud
Once installed, restart the session (logout/login) and enable MATE HUD from MATE Tweak.

The default keyboard shortcut for opening MATE HUD is Ctrl + Alt + Space. This can be changed using Dconf Editor, under org > mate > hud.

Ubuntu like Debian Font Rendering using Infinality Font

Ubuntu like Debian Font Rendering using Infinality Font


In this guide we are going to see the steps to improve Debian font rendering and get Ubuntu like font rendering using Infinality font. I�m not going to add any before/after screenshots as the font rendering will differ from display to display based on the resolution, the pixel density etc.
Before we proceed, I would like to let you know that installing packages by adding PPA is not the way things are done usually in Debian.
But in this case, this is the easiest way to do it as these packages does not have any dependencies.

First let add the infinality font repository from launchpad.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
#Infinality Fonts
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/no1wantdthisname/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/no1wantdthisname/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

First we have to add keys to access the repository. To do that, we have to run,
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E985B27B

Now lets update & install infinality font.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fontconfig-infinality


To configure infinality font, follow these steps
cd /etc/fonts/infinality/
sudo bash infctl.sh setstyle
Select a style:
1) debug 3) linux 5) osx2 7) win98
2) infinality 4) osx 6) win7 8) winxp
#?
I chose 3 (i.e. linux).

Now lets change the font style.
sudo vi /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh
#################################################################
########################### EXAMPLES ############################
#################################################################
#
# Set the USE_STYLE variable below to try each example.
# Make sure to set your style in /etc/fonts/infinality.conf too.
#
# Possible options:
#
# DEFAULT � Use above settings. A compromise that should please most people.
# OSX � Simulate OSX rendering
# IPAD � Simulate iPad rendering
# UBUNTU � Simulate Ubuntu rendering
# LINUX � Generic �Linux� style � no snapping or certain other tweaks
# WINDOWS � Simulate Windows rendering
# WINDOWS7 � Simulate Windows rendering with normal glyphs
# WINDOWS7LIGHT- Simulate Windows 7 rendering with lighter glyphs
# WINDOWS � Simulate Windows rendering
# VANILLA � Just subpixel hinting
# CUSTOM � Your own choice. See below
# �� Infinality styles ��
# CLASSIC � Infinality rendering circa 2010. No snapping.
# NUDGE � CLASSIC with lightly stem snapping and tweaks
# PUSH � CLASSIC with medium stem snapping and tweaks
# SHOVE � Full stem snapping and tweaks without sharpening
# SHARPENED � Full stem snapping, tweaks, and Windows-style sharpening
# INFINALITY � Settings I use
# DISABLED � Act as though running without the extra infinality enhancements (just subpixel hinting).
USE_STYLE=�UBUNTU�
Now search for �USE_STYLE� or scroll (around line 710) till you see the option to set the style.
Now change the value of USE_STYLE as per your preference & save the file. I�m using UBUNTU style in this example.

LCD Filter Setting

We need to set the LCD filter setting in our home directory using a file called �.Xresources�.
Method 1
  1. Create a new file and name it as �.Xresources�.
  2. Open the file (If you can�t see the file, then you need to change setting to show hidden files), add the following line, save & close the file
    • Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Method 2
Run the following command
echo "Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault" >> ~/.Xresources
Note: In my LCD display, font rendering look best with hinting set to slight. You may change this value �medium or full� as per your preference.

Xfce

Go to Settings -> Appearance.
  • Tick the checkbox to Enable anti-aliasing
  • Set Sub-pixel order to RGB
  • Set Hinting to Slight
Xfce4 Font Setting









Gnome

Gnome does not have options to configure font rendering methods. So you need to install gnome-tweak-tool which can be done by running the following command.
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
Then change the settings
Open Gnome tweak tool and to fonts setting.
  • Set Antialiasing to RGB
  • Set Hinting to Slight

Logout & login back to see the new font rendering.

Check Font Rendering Settings

You can check the current font rendering settings by running the following command,
xrdb -query
On running the above command, you should see the following settings.
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb

Ubuntu Snap now universal coming to Linux distros like Fedora Arch OpenSUSE and more!

Ubuntu Snap now universal coming to Linux distros like Fedora Arch OpenSUSE and more!


 
My biggest complaint about Linux based desktop operating systems is fragmentation. There are too many desktop environments, too many package managers, heck, too many distros! Not only can end-users be negatively impacted by too many choices, but more importantly, developers can be spread too thin. Ultimately, the Linux community ends up being unfocused and unable to move the desktop dial.
 
Today, something miraculous happens. Believe it or not, the Linux Community largely bands together to embrace Ubuntus "Snap" packages. Yes, you are reading that correctly -- competing Linux-based operating systems like Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, and more, will utilize the now-universal "Snap," meaning Linux software can be made to install regardless of distro. This should be particularly brilliant for operating systems optimized for mobile and IoT.
 
"Snaps sit alongside the native packages of the base Linux operating system. Each distribution has its own mechanisms to provide the base OS and its updates. Snaps complement the base OS with universal apps that cannot interfere with the base OS or one another", says Canonical.
 
The company further says, "the snap format is simpler than the native internal package formats of individual Linux distributions, because it is focused purely on applications rather than the core system itself. Snaps are essentially self-contained zip files that can be executed very fast in place, making them easy to create".
 
Canonical shares the following Linux-based operating systems which can now natively work with Snaps.
  • Arch
  • Debian
  • Fedora
  • Kubuntu
  • Lubuntu
  • Ubuntu GNOME
  • Ubuntu Kylin
  • Ubuntu MATE
  • Ubuntu Unity
  • Xubuntu
Snaps are being validated to work in the future on the following distros.
  • CentOS
  • Elementary
  • Gentoo
  • Mint
  • OpenSUSE
  • OpenWrt
  • RHEL
Mark this date on your calendar, Linux fans. By simply porting snapd to the distro, the Snaps can be installed without worry. This is revolutionary, and will change the way both developers and end-users deal with packages. The container-like design should prove more secure too.
 
 
Jason Shepherd, Director, IoT Strategy and Partnerships, Dell says, "we believe snaps address the security risks and manageability challenges associated with deploying and running multiple third party applications on a single IoT Gateway. This trusted and universal app format is essential for Dell, our IoT Solutions Partners and commercial customers to build a scalable, IT-ready, and vibrant ecosystem of IoT applications".
 
If you are a developer and you want to create a Snap, you can do so here. If you need some assistance, you can reach out on IRC here.
 
Do you think the universal acceptance of Snaps is a game-changer? Tell me in the comments.

Transforming your Ubuntu 8 04 Desktop to look like Mac OS X

Transforming your Ubuntu 8 04 Desktop to look like Mac OS X


Please read THIS, the link points to an Updated Article for Ubuntu 11.04.

MAC OS has been traditionally known for their impressive graphical interface and stability. Now even though i have been an avid Linux follower over the past 9 years I have been using Linux still i find my self attracted to MAC OS .Now even though these days its possible to run Hackintosh on normal Intel hardware but its not stable and well there are hardware compatibility issues . So well other alternative to using MAC OS is either to purchase MAC hardware(which would be naturally expensive) and run full fledged MAC OS or you could tweak and customize your Ubuntu desktop to look more like MAC OS X .

In this tutorial i describe step by step how to make your Ubuntu 8.04 desktop look more like MAC OS X Leopard :) .
Installing Cursor , GTK and Icon Theme

To install cursor,gtk and icon theme first download the package from the link given below :

http://rapidshare.de/files/38210507/MyTheme.tar.gz.html

Now to install the theme package we have created in the above step , go to (System -> Preferences -> Appearance) and click Install and point to our newly downloaded Mytheme.tar.gz archive.



This should start installing the theme package (Cursors/Icons/Theme) once installation is completed . Chose Customize in theme and click on Customize .



You will find a window like this:


Customize Dialog Box
In this window in Icons chose LeopardX , in Controls Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v0.3 , in Window Border Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v0.3 and in Pointers White Cursor .


If you have followed the steps properly the theme and icons should have been installed , and you should be able to see the new theme applied to your default desktop .

Enabling Compiz Graphic Effects and installing Mac4Lin Theme

Ubuntu 8.04 comes with Compiz Fusion pre-installed and on supported hardware offers a wide array of Visual Effect . Now depending on graphic hardware of computer one could chose from three level of Visual Effect (From
System -> Preferences -> Appearance )

None : - This mode causes Ubuntu to use Metacity instead of Compiz Fusion , with no visual effect


Basic : - Has only simple visual effects like shadows , fading windows-menus etc


Advanced : - Recommended for PC with descent graphic hardware , enables effects like wobbly windows, transparency , animated workspace switching etc
Visual Effect Dialog Box


However , compiz-fusion is capable of much more and you can enable more desktop effects /customize compiz by typing the following command in the terminal window : -
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
After completing above step , you can customize compiz by going to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings .
After installation is over , open Terminal from (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) and issue the following command to install emerald which is necessary for using themes in compiz .

sudo apt-get install emerald
After installation is over download MacOS X Emerald theme from this link : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac4Lin+Leopard+Emerald+Theme?content=68409

Now open (System -> Preferences -> Emerald Theme Manager )

After Emerald theme manager opens click on import and point to the downloaded theme package from withing the Theme Manager , you will find Mac4Lin Theme listed select the theme , click on refresh and quit the application .

Emerald Theme Manager

Mac like Dock with Avant Window Navigator

IMPORTANT : - To use AWN Compiz-Fusion should be up and running as mentioned in the step above

Avant Windows Navigator is cool little tool that allows you to have a cute looking dock at the bottom of the screen . Even though AWN is still very buggy, still because it is so feature rich and cool looking you could install it .


To install AWN you need to add extra repositories, now adding any additional repository carries certain amount of risk of screwing up your system so follow these step at your own risk :

To add repository :

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

and

echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

After issuing above command type the following command to update your repositories :

sudo apt-get update
anf finally to install AWN issue the following command in the terminal window :

sudo apt-get install awn-manager-trunk awn-extras-applets-trunk
Now after completing above mentioned steps AWN should be properly installed , To Launch AWN go to (Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator )

Now you could customize AWN by choosing to add more applets , configuring 3D effects for AWN etc by going to AWN Manager (
System -> Preferences -> Awn Manager )




Three ScreenShots of AWN Manager
Though the theme which AWN comes with preinstalled is also good , you might like to try this its cool and very Mac like

http://rapidshare.com/files/71511920/Transparent.tgz.html

you could install this theme through AWN Manager go to (System->Preferences->AWN manager) and go to themes there and click on "Add" and point it to the downloaded theme.



You will see a confirmation dialog box that theme has been added properly. Close AWN Manager and start it again and chose the theme just installed and press apply button to make this theme default theme of AWN.


This is how my AWN Dock looks(with the above theme installed) like : -


AWN-DOCK

Desktop Widgets with Screenlets
Screenlets gives user a collection of impressive widgets that can be placed on desktop this is similar to feature available on Windows Vista and Mac OS X Dashboard , it gives impressive look to the desktop.

To install Screenlets type in the following command in the terminal window :
sudo apt-get install screenlets

Now , After the installation is over you can add Widgets/Screenlets on your desktop by going to (System -> Preferences -> Screenlets ) , you will find a dialog box like this from where you could add Screenlets onto the desktop .Also you might like to tick the checkbox "Autostart on login" so screenlets starts automatically when Gnome starts.




Changing the Log In Screen / GDM Theme

To change the Log In Screen/GDM Theme download the package from website listed below :
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/OSX+Session+Login?content=68346

After downloading the package , open (System -> Administration -> Log in Window ) and there go to Local and click on Add and point to the downloaded theme package (osx-login.tar.gz) . Now you would find OSX-Login theme listed in the window , select OSX-Login and close the window . Logout and Login again you should find the new theme installed .

Log-in Window allows easy changing of the Login Screen Theme

Getting MAC OS X Leopard Wallpaper
Finally you can get MAC OS X Leopard wallpaper from the following website :

This is how my desktop looks after following all the above steps :
