UBUNTU Linux Give it a try!

UBUNTU Linux Give it a try!


Well, I made a tutorial for installing Windows XP on your computer even it was against my will, lol. I am an Ubuntu Linux user and I support opensource softwares and anti-piracy programs of the governement (lol). And what I can say about this Operating System is that it is so smooth, so fast, so stable and so good coz its free! Unlike Windows OSes, you dont have to pay. OpenSource software is the answer and not piracy.

So, what is Ubuntu OS? Why is it called Ubuntu?

"Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning humanity to others. It also means I am what I am because of who we all are. The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers."

It is  a computer operating system originally based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available. 


So whats the advantage of using Linux Ubuntu over Windows OS?

  • No more hangs, no more lags!

  • No more file corruptions, no more BSOD errors!

  • No more viruses, spyware, malware and underware! (kiddin lol)

  • Has a section called "Software Center" where everything could be downloaded easily and for free!

  • And lastly and the most important is..... its FREE to use, free to distribute and free to modify!

Oh, so you want one now? 

1. Go to www.ubuntu.com
2. Download the latest Ubuntu release, as of this writing, Ubuntu 11.04. The file is in .ISO file, just burn it on a CD and your good to go, its FREE!

3. Install Linux Ubuntu. Just boot from your CD and follow the onscreen instruction. You can install it side by side with Windows or other OS you use or try it using your CD without installing it.

For more information on how to install Linux Ubuntu, just go to their website. (www.ubuntu.com)

Enjoy using Ubuntu!

Try Fira Sans A Free Font Family Commissioned By Mozilla

Try Fira Sans A Free Font Family Commissioned By Mozilla


In 2013, the Mozilla Foundation commissioned Erik Spiekermann, a famous typographer, to work on a free, open source font family called Fira Sans (initially called Feura Sans).

Recently, the typeface was updated to version 3.1, getting 12 different weights (bringing the weights number to 16), all accompanied by italic styles, a huge character map and extensive language supports. Theres also a monospaced variant: Fira Mono which includes 2 weights (regular and bold).

Fira Sans is already used in Firefox OS and it will be used in the Firefox Preferences and Add-ons Manager, among other places.

Fira Mono (Regular)

Fira Sans (Regular)

"Complimenting Erik Spiekermann for Fira Sans, his latest typeface, seems a little like telling the Iron Chef that he really knows how to cook. Yeah. Duh. We might even ask whether Fira has an unfair advantage over other fonts from 2013, because it�s built on the adamantium-plated skeleton of FF Meta, which Spiekermann has had 25+ years to polish (see also FF Meta Serif and FF Unit)".

- Matthew Butterick on Typographica.org


Try Fira Sans


If you want to give Fira Sans / Fira Mono a try, you can download it from dev.carrois.com (available in OTF/WOFF/EOT/TTF formats).

The typeface is also available on GitHub but, at the time Im writing this article, its an older version than the one available on dev.carrois.com and it doesnt all the new weights available with version 3.1

To install the fonts in Ubuntu, download the font archive, extract it in your home folder, then run the following commands:

- to install the fonts system-wide:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/FiraSans
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/opentype/FiraSans
sudo cp ~/Fira*/WEB/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/FiraSans/
sudo cp ~/Fira*/OTF/Fira* /usr/share/fonts/opentype/FiraSans/

- to install Fira Sans / Fira Mono for your user only:
mkdir -p ~/.fonts/FiraSans
cp ~/Fira*/WEB/*.ttf ~/.fonts/FiraSans/
cp ~/Fira*/OTF/Fira* ~/.fonts/FiraSans/

Then, update the font cache:
sudo fc-cache -f -v

Arch Linux users can install Fira Sans / Mono via AUR: otf-fira-mono | otf-fira-sans | ttf-fira-sans

Try Chrome OS Canary Without Risking Your Chromebooks Stability

Try Chrome OS Canary Without Risking Your Chromebooks Stability


Theres been some buzz recently about Kenny Strawns discovery of Chrome OS Canary (nice work Kenny!). If youre not aware, Canary is a version of Chrome OS that is even more up to date with code changes and new features than dev channel. So it goes stable --> beta --> dev --> canary with stable being the most stable, reliable and least often updated version and canary being the least stable and least reliable but most often updated. A Canary version of the Chrome browser has been available and can be run in parallel with other Chrome channels on Windows and Mac for some time but theres been no publicly known equivalent for Chrome OS until Kennys discovery and normally, your Chromebook is only on one channel of Chrome OS, switching between channels meant a USB recovery or powerwash.

So Canary is going to give you the latest and greatest Chrome OS features weeks or months before stable channel gets them but you sacrifice the stability of your Chromebook because Canary isnt tested nearly as heavily as stable channel is. What if we could run stable channel on our Chromebook and only boot into Canary channel when we wanted to test something or check out a new feature? Wouldnt that be handy? Well, here are instructions:
  1. To get started, make sure your Chromebook is in developer mode. Model-specific instructions can be found here.
  2. Turn your Chromebook off then turn it back on but do not login. Make sure you have a WiFi or Ethernet connection configured at this point. 3G/4G is not recommended. Press CTRL+ALT+=> (=> is the forward arrow where the F2 key would be on a PC). Do not use the normal CTRL+ALT+T method to get a shell. Use the CTRL+ALT+=> method while no one is logged in.
  3. Login as user chronos, no password is needed.
  4. Run the command:

    sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1

    this tells your Chromebook to allow booting from USB / SD Card. Note that not all Chromebooks can boot from all USB or SD Card ports. For example, the Acer C710 cant boot from an SD Card and the Samsung Chromebook cant boot from the blue USB 3.0 port. Youll need to use a port on your device that supports booting. When in doubt, start with one of the black USB ports and go from there.
  5. Stick a USB or SD Card of at least 8gb size in your Chromebook and run the command:

    rootdev -s -d
    youll get output like:

    /dev/sda

    or it might say /dev/mmcblk0. Whichever it is, that is the device for your Chromebooks primary drive.
  6. Now run:

    sudo fdisk -l | grep Disk

    this will list out all drives your Chromebook sees. Your Chromebooks main drive will be listed and youll see some devices we dont care about like /dev/mapper/blahblahblah. Were looking for the USB or SD Card you inserted (compare sizes). On an Intel Chromebook with a USB drive its likely to show as /dev/sdb, with an SD Card its likely to be /dev/mmcblk0. On a ARM-based Chromebook, a USB drive is likely to be /dev/sda and a SD Card, /dev/mmcblk0. Make sure youve got the right device and remember what it is for the next step.
  7. Now we can run:

    sudo chromeos-install --skip_src_removable --skip_dst_removable --skip_vblock --dst <insert /dev/whatever from above step>

    chromeos-install is a script to copy Chrome OS to another drive. Normally the script is meant to copy from a removable device to a SSD or hard drive but were going in the reverse direction, thus we need the --skip_src_removable and --skip_dst_removable options to turn off those checks. The --skip_vblock option is needed to prevent an error message that should not matter anyway. The --dst option allows you to specify the destination device you determined in the previous 2 steps. So on my Intel-based Pixel Chromebook and using a USB drive I would run exactly:

    sudo chromeos-install --skip_src_removable --skip_dst_removable --skip_vblock --dst /dev/sdb

    this command will output some details about the install process and may spit out errors if theres trouble copying to your drive (USB drives and SD Cards fail after awhile, get a new one if you need it).
  8. When the process completes, your Chromebook will reboot. Now with the USB/SD Card still inserted, if you press CTRL+U on the keyboard at the ugly computer screen youll boot from your new installation on the external card instead of the internal drive. Youll probably notice its slower, USB 2.0 is very slow compared to SSDs. On first boot, the Chrome OS installation on the external drive will want to repair itself by wiping out the stateful partition (note that this is the stateful partition on your external drive, not the one on your internal drive which should remain untouched). Eventually, after a reboot, you should see Chrome OS boot to the setup process.
  9. Lets confirm were booted off of the external device by running:

    rootdev -s -d

    this time, we should see the USB/SD Cards device listed instead of the internal SSDs so we know were running off the external device.
  10. Now weve got a separate Chrome OS install that we can boot into at will with CTRL+U instead of CTRL+D but we need to switch it to Canary channel. Thats easy enough to do by running:

    sudo update_engine_client --channel canary-channel
    sudo update_engine_client --update
    this will install the latest Canary channel update for us on the external device, again leaving the internal device untouched. Now were up and running! Canary channel without the risk.

Try Vocal A Podcast Manager Designed For elementary OS

Try Vocal A Podcast Manager Designed For elementary OS


Vocal is a podcast manager designed to integrate tightly with the elementary OS desktop, which supports both audio and video podcasts, with built-in video playback.


The application doesnt have every feature you can think of and instead it focuses on what its supposed to do: play podcasts while taking care of everything automatically, without going through N tabs of settings.

For instance, Vocal can stream episodes without having to download them locally however, if you want to save some episodes for offline listening, Vocal can do that too - it can even automatically check for and download new episodes in the background.

Another useful feature is its library management: Vocal can automatically delete old downloads so you dont have to worry about doing this yourself.

Vocal elementary OS

Also, since the app was designed for elementary OS, it integrates perfectly with the Pantheon desktop: it comes with native notifications, launcher count and progress bar support, media keys support and Sound Menu integration.

Other Vocal features include:
  • you can assign custom skip intervals for the skip forward and backwards buttons, useful if for instance youve missed something or to jump past an advertisement;
  • episode position saving, you can can easily start an episode from where you left off;
  • supports library import/export (can import from iTunes, gPodder, etc.).

For those are new to podcasts, the Vocal website offers "starter pack" which contains a selection of great podcasts which you can add either individually or as a complete .opml pack which you can import into Vocal. Note that in my test, the imported podcasts didnt show up in Vocal until I restarted the application.

While the app reached version 1.0 recently, there are a couple of missing features: Vocal lacks a search/filter and it cant download feeds which require authentication, but hopefully theyll be added in a future release.

Its important to note that while Vocal was designed for elementary OS, it should work on any desktop environment that supports header bars (also known as client side decorations) and has GTK 3.14 or newer. As far as *buntu is concerned, Vocal should work on the following:
  • Ubuntu GNOME / Xubuntu 15.04;
  • Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 with GNOME 3 updated to version 3.14 via PPA.
  • Ubuntu 15.04 (with Unity) - partially, because the app wont have any shadows and to avoid various parts of the app being transparent (bug caused by overlay-scrollbar), youll need to launch the app like this: "LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 vocal".

The app should also work on elementary OS Freya (obviously), Fedora 21 or 22, etc.


Download Vocal


Download Vocal (packages available for Fedora and Ubuntu-based distros)

Important: youll also need to download the Granite framework packages (available on the Vocal downloads page) if youre not using elementary OS or Ubuntu 15.04, or else you wont be able to install the app.

If you encounter bugs, report them @ Launchpad.

Try Toggl A Cross Platform Time Tracking And Reporting Tool

Try Toggl A Cross Platform Time Tracking And Reporting Tool


I recently stumbled upon Toggl, a tool that provides online time tracking and reporting, and thought Id share it with those of you who need such an application and are not yet familiar with it.

Toggl offers free, as well as paid plans, and you need to register to be able to use it. The free plan offers time tracking, timeline, autotracker, team management features (for up to 5 members), exporting reports as PDF or CSV, and much more. Check out the Toggl plans HERE.

Furthermore, Toggl integrations with various services such as Wunderlist, GitHub, Trello, Google Docs, and many others.

You can use Toggle directly from its website or by using its desktop applications for Linux (64bit only binaries; source code available), Windows and Mac, Firefox and Chrome addons, as well as mobile (Android and iOS) apps.

Both the time entries and active timers are synchronized using the Toggl cloud service across all applications as well as the Toggl website, which also offers various detailed reporting features.

Heres the Toggl Linux desktop application:

Toggl Linux desktop application

And the online timer and reports pages (available on toggl.com):

Toggl online timer

Toggl online reports


Features available in the Linux desktop application (which uses Qt5 and is open source) include:
  • syncs time entries and active timers with the Toggl cloud service;
  • record timeline (it records websites and applications that you view for more than 10 seconds; this feature is not available the first day after signing up for Toggl);
  • idle detection (notifies you about idle time and lets you choose whether to keep the time, discard it or add it to a new entry);
  • option to remind to track time;
  • pomodoro timer and break timer;
  • global keyboard shortcuts to show or hide Toggl and to continue stop the timer;
  • a tray/appindicator (the icon changes depending on the app state: recording/stopped);
  • offline login after youve logged in at least once online;
  • grouped time entries;
  • proxy support.

A few features are missing in the Linux desktop application, like an option to show the timer in the panel, adding new tags or editing tags (you can only select already existing tags), as well as the autotracker feature (this feature allows defining applications or keywords that trigger the tracker).

Despite of this, Toggl is a great tool, especially for those who work on multiple computers / operating systems, thanks to its synchronization feature.


Getting started with Toggl Desktop application for Linux


To get started with Toggl, create an account (you can also sign up with Google), download the application and log in.

Note: for Linux, Toggl Desktop is available as a deb and generic tar.gz, both for 64bit only. If you want to use Toggl Desktop on 32bit, youll have to built it from source. Also, pay attention to the Linux download page - on Ubuntu 16.04 and newer, youll have to install gstreamer 0.10, which is no longer available in the Ubuntu repositories (exact instructions are provided for how to do this).

Arch Linux users can install Toggl Desktop via AUR: toggldesktop | toggldesktop-bin.

Before starting to track your time, you may want to take a look at the Toggl Desktop Preferences and enable the options you need, like global shortcuts to show or hide Toggl, continue/stop the timer, enable the Pomodoro time and so on:

Toggl Linux preferences

Then simply enter a description for your task and click the "Start" button:

Toggl Linux app


Toggl Desktop Linux application

Right clicking a task allows accessing some advanced options, like assigning a project to the task, change its duration, start and end time, date, assign tags, as well as an option to delete it:

Toggl Linux advanced settings

I should also mention that the Toggl Desktop application for Linux lacks an option to start automatically on system startup. To get it to start with your computer (assuming youve installed it using the .deb package), open Startup Applications, click "Add", enter "Toggl" under name and "/opt/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop.sh" under "Command".

Try different OSs in your single installation of Ubuntu

Try different OSs in your single installation of Ubuntu


This tutorial clarifies on how to install a different OS inside VirtualBox. This particular tutorial is based on VBox OSE installed in Ubuntu Karmic, still would be able to cover other similar systems even inside windows.


If you do not already have VBox installed in your system goto- Add/remove (ubuntu software center) and install VBoxGtk and VirtualBox OSE


If you have VBox installed then run it from Applications -> Accessories -> VirtualBox OSE . A window will appear like follow-


The left side panel shows the available virtual machines. I have a machine named testy (in fig) The right side shows its description. By default there will be no installed Virtual system.

To create a new system click on "New".

The "Create new Virtual Machine" dialogue appears.

click next. The next dialogue shows-


Give the VM(stands for Virtual Machine) a name in the name field and selt the type as you desire.when finished click next


Next dialogue shows how much of the main memory (RAM) would you like to give to the VM. 256MB is usually enough but would be a little slower, increase it as you wish. If you have a RAM of 1024MB then dont exceed 512MB. click next two times to continue.


If you have followed the instructions then you would be prompted to create a Virtual Disk at this stage. Click next


Set the location "Where the Virtual Disk will be saved" and the size "Size of the virtual disk". Depending upon what OS you are willing to install in the system you can set the size. The Virtual disk will act as the Hard disk of the VM. And always be sure that you have enough space int the directory. 4GB will be enough for XP. Click next and Finish to build the Virtual disk. And finish again to create the VM.


You can set other devices from the list at your right. (e.g: Click on the CD/DVD -ROM to set the Virtual CD/DVD drive.) or you can just click start. When you start the VM for first time the "Wizard" will start. click next


Select the installation CD of the desired Operating system. Mark the CD-ROM device. Mark the "Host drive" if you want to allow the VM to use your physical CD-ROM(You may have to select the device from drop-down menu if multiple devices are connected).

or, you can select a ISO image from hard disk.In that case a following window will show up-


Click on "Add" and browse to select your iso (xpsp2.iso,..ubuntu910.iso..) and click select. finish to go the VM.





The VM will act just like a PC. You can enter bios and set the boot priority. and install XP or whatever OS you want just the way you install in a original system.








Press F12 to enter boot menu

And choose your installation medium (CD-ROM in our case)





If you are using windows and interested to use VBox OSE visit-

http://www.virtualbox.org/

Sun Microsystems has developed this to work in different platforms. It is still under development so try to stay updated.

Try Ubuntu Netbook Remix On Desktop Ubuntu

Try Ubuntu Netbook Remix On Desktop Ubuntu


 
  
 
Canonical -the company behind Ubuntu- released a remix version of Jaunty which is tailor made to run on netbooks.
Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix comes with faster boot speeds, and with a built-for-purpose interface that means that favourite applications and websites are just a click away. Ubuntu Netbook Remix makes a great choice for netbook users.

If youre running the standard desktop edition of Ubuntu 9.04 you can switch to a netbook interface quite easily, but be warned: it might take a little effort to return your desktop to the way it was!

Warning: if youre using Compiz (aka "desktop effects") please turn it off now. UNR doesnt need them, and in fact it may collide with its own deskop effects system.

Open up a terminal window and run this command:
sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus netbook-launcher window-picker-applet

When you enter your password, that command will pull in various dependencies required to make UNR work. Now reboot your PC, and you should come back to a desktop that has the two largest parts of UNR working - the netbook-launcher app (the thing that now owns your desktop) and maximus, the window maximiser. But this is only the beginning of the transformation - to get the full effect, you should do the following:
  • Remove from the top panel the Ubuntu menu (Applications/Places/System) from the left and the switch user applet from the right, plus any app launchers you dont want. Just right-click on things and choose Remove From Panel to get rid of them.
  • Right-click on the top panel, choose Add to Panel, then add Go Home and Window Picker, moving them to the left and centre of the panel respectively.
  • Remove the bottom panel entirely - right-click and choose Delete This Panel.
  • Now go to System > Preferences > Appearance and choose the Human-Netbook them
Those of you who have installed Ubuntu on their EEEPC might want to give this a go!

    Try Pool Mining

    Try Pool Mining


    After a few successfully blocks on my own, I decided to switch over to pool mining. I just was not seeing any returns on solo mining. It had been over a month since my last block....



     etherchain.org is a site that allows you explorer the entire block chain. You can see how many blocks you have mined, and transactions sent and received.

    The first step in pool mining is to pick a pool you want to join. There are a lot of pools out there and the etherminig subreddit has some great information. I went with etherite.com because it currently has no fees and is relatively new pool.

    Then you need to download stratum client to work with the pool. A stratum client is  more efficient in way it receives works from the pool, than the traditional clien geth. I downloaded and configured the stratum-proxy on one of my nodes.

    The download can be found here. http://ethpool.org/downloads/eth-proxy.zip. The setup instructions can be found here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1200891
