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 Linux 16 10 Yakkety Yak Beta 2 open source OS now available for download

Ubuntu Linux 16 10 Yakkety Yak Beta 2 open source OS now available for download


 
Next month, one of the most important desktop operating systems will get a major update. No, I am not talking about Windows or macOS; I am referring to Ubuntu. True, from a market share perspective Linux-based desktop operating systems are rather insignificant, but for those in the know, Canonicals open source OS is quite brilliant. Its fans and users are very loyal and passionate.
 
Today, the final beta of the upcoming Ubuntu Linux 16.10 becomes available. While this version -- dubbed Yakkety Yak -- will not reinvent the wheel, it should offer enough to delight existing users of the open source operating system. Hey, if its not broke, why fix it, right? That is a lesson Microsoft learned the hard way with Windows 8, but I digress.
 
"Codenamed Yakkety Yak, 16.10 continues Ubuntus proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs", says Steve Langasek, Developer, Canonical.
 
Langasek further says, "the beta images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of 16.10 that should be representative of the features intended to ship with the final release expected on October 13th, 2016".
 
While there arent many new aspects, there are some significant changes. The Linux kernel has been updated to 4.8 and the included GNOME apps have all been updated to 3.20 and higher. The wonderful LibreOffice is now at version 5.2.
 
If you are ready to download Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak, you can use the below links. Desktop users will most likely want to select Ubuntu Desktop (Unity), but I recommend Kubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME too. Want to install Google Chrome on the operating system? You can follow our how-to guide here.
  • Ubuntu Desktop (Unity)
  • Ubuntu Server
  • Less Popular Ubuntu Images
  • Ubuntu Cloud Server
  • Ubuntu Netboot
  • Kubuntu
  • Lubuntu
  • Ubuntu Studio
  • Ubuntu GNOME
  • Ubuntu Kylin
  • Ubuntu MATE
