Install Google Earth in Ubuntu 14.04 64Bit to Properly Install Google Install Google Earth in Ubuntu 14.04 64bit To properly install Google Earth (along with the required 32bit dependencies) in Ubuntu 14.04 (or 13.10) 64bit, use the following commands: sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxext6:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsm6:i386 cd /tmp && wget http://dl.google.com/dl/earth/client/current/google-earth- stable_current_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb sudo apt-get install –f Some Commands To Get System Information In Linux For beginners, these commands are not that tough. Rate this news: (5 Votes) Tuesday, August 20, 2013: If you want information about your system on Linux, then these commands will help a lot. linux, open source, open source for you, linux system info, linux command info, linux open source, beginner commands linux. linux beginner commands pwd This command is short for ‘print working directory’, which is exactly what it does. hostname The machine that is currently being worked on is known as the local host. The command ‘netconf’ can be used to change the name of the local host and ‘hostname’ is used to print the local host’s name. whoami As the name suggests, this command prints the user’s login name. id username Unlike the above command, this one prints the user id of the user along with his group id, effective id and all the supplementary groups that are involved. date This command can be used for both printing and changing the date and time of the operating system. time The amount of time that a particular process is allowed to take can be changed using this command. It’s different from the date command. who This command tells the user who all are logged into the machine. rwho -a This is the same as the above, but it tells you the users that are logged into the network. In order for this to run, the rwho service has to be enabled. finger user_name This command gives the system information of a particular user. last This one gives a list of users that were last logged in to the system that you are using. history | more As the name suggests, the history command shows the previous commands that had been executed on the account that you are on. The | more is used to make the display stop whenever the screen is full. uptime This command gives you the time elapsed after the last reboot. ps The print status command lists the processes that are being run on the system by the user. ps axu | more This lists all the processes that are running. top This command keeps on listing the processes that are running currently. uname -a This command stands for Unix name with option ‘all’. It displays all the information about your local server. free This gives information about available memory, which is displayed in kilo bytes. df -h This one gives information about the file systems in a form that is understandable outside the machine. du / -bh | more This command starts at the root level and prints the disk usage information for each subdirectory available. cat /proc/cpuinfo There is a file called cpuinfo and this command shows the content in it. cat /proc/version This command will tell you the Linux version that you are using and then some other information as well. cat /proc/filesystems This command is responsible for showing the type of file systems, which are being used currently. cat /etc/printcap This command can be used to see the printer setup. lsmod This command should be used when you are a non-root user for the system. It shows the Kernel modules. Last updated By Abhishek 115 Comments Care to Share? 76 Ubuntu 14.04 features include plenty of eye candy and some performance boost. Its successor 14.10, on the other hand, doesn’t after a lot of new things when compared to 14.04. If you are doing a clean install, you may wonder about what things to do after installing Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10. Requirements vary from person to person, depending upon whether the person is experienced Ubuntu user, a novice user, an artist or a programmer, but most of the things listed here are essential after a clean install of Ubuntu. Without wasting time anymore, lets have a look at must to do things after installing Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr. Things to do after installing Ubuntu 14.04 & 14.10: Change software sources and update your system: First and foremost thing to do after installing Ubuntu is to change the software sources and add Canonical Partners in it. This will increase the number of applications and programs in your repository and you can easily install them via Ubuntu Software Center or command line. Open Unity Dash (press Super/Windows key) and search for Software & Updates: Open it and in Other Software tab, make sure that Canonical Partners is checked. Doing this will update your repository. It takes some time in doing so. Once done, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade The above command will update your system. Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras for media codecs: “Ubuntu restricted extras” is a package of several codecs that are not installed by default in Ubuntu system. The reason why these these codecs are not included by default is legal constraints in many countries. Canonical cannot include them by default but if you install these codecs, it is you who would be held responsible for the usage and not Ubuntu. Don’t worry it’s safe to install these codecs. With these codecs installed, you can play different media formats such as MP3, MP4, AVI and several other formats without any trouble. Install it using the following command: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras Note: For beginners, if you see EULA screen, press TAB to switch between options and use Enter to confirm a choice. Install Adobe Flash player: Normally after installing Ubuntu Restricted Extras, you should be able to play videos that run Adobe flash player such as You Tube videos. But for one reason or other you may have issues with Flash Player. To install Adobe Flash Player in Ubuntu 14.04, use the following command: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer Enable edge scrolling Staring with Ubuntu 13.10, two finger scroll is enabled by default. Which means the normal (and more popular) edge scroll will not work on your laptop’s touchpad. To enable edge scrolling, go to System Settings->Mouse & Touchpad and un-check the option of Two finger scroll. If you are facing issues, follow the screenshot tutorial to enable edge scrolling in Ubuntu. Install Dropbox and fix the indicator issue Ubuntu One cloud service for files is being discontinued. Which leaves us with Dropbox and Google Drive as main cloud storage services in Ubuntu. While Google Drive does not have an official Linux client, Dropbox is still the best bet when it comes to desktop Linux. Use the command below to install Dropbox in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox Alternatively, you can download the installer from their website. One of the issue that you might face is the missing Dropbox indicator in the top panel. To bring back the Dropbox indicator back, use the following command: sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 Once installed, restart the computer. Drobox icon should be back in top panel. Remove keyboard input from Unity Panel For some reasons, Ubuntu started to put the keyboard input indicator by default in the top panel. While it could be useful for some people who change their keyboard layout frequently, it certainly is of no use to me. For me, it unnecessarily takes space in the top panel. If you find it annoying as well, disable it from System Settings-> Text Entry and uncheck the Show current input source in the menu bar. Fix brightness issue [For Intel graphics] Don’t worry, you are not the only who find Ubuntu too bright and you are definitely not the only one who cannot reduce the brightness in your laptop using the function keys. It’s a known bug which is ‘ported successfully’ in Ubuntu 14.04. If your video driver is Intel, you can easily fix the brightness control issue in Ubuntu. Install VLC media player: Let me confess, I cannot imagine using my personal computer without VLC media player. It’s the best out there. It can download subtitles automatically, you can manually synchronize the subs, you can watch online videos with subtitles with VLC and now you can enable desktop notification for VLC in Ubuntu. Use the following command to install VLC: sudo apt-get install vlc Play encrypted DVD in Ubuntu 14.04: Enable encrypted DVD playback in Ubuntu 14.04 using the following commands: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh If you are facing problems with playing DVDs altogether, read this article to play DVDs with VLC in Ubuntu. Install RAR: To avoid error like “There is no command installed for RAR archive files“ install RAR using the following command: sudo apt-get install rar Install additional drivers in Ubuntu 14.04: Ubuntu provides some third part propriety drivers for wireless, graphics cards etc. If you are facing with them, try to install these additional drivers. You can find additional drivers available for your system in Software & Updates, under Additional Drivers tab: Improve battery life and reduce overheating: Overheating of laptops is a common issue, not only in Ubuntu but in any operating systems.

  • Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit!
    Welcome to Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit! What is Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7? Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is a full replacement for Microsoft©s Windows and Macintosh©s Mac OS for any Intel based PC. Of course we recommend you check the system requirements first to make sure your computer meets our standards. The 64 bit version of Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 works faster than the 32 bit version on a 64 bit PC however the 32 bit version has support for Frets On Fire and a few other 32 bit applications that won©t run on 64 bit. We have worked hard to make sure that you can justify using 64 bit without sacrificing too much compatibility. I would say that Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 64 bit is compatible with 99.9% of all the GNU/Linux applications out there that will work with Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 bit. Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is based on Ubuntu 8.04 but includes KDE 3.5 as the default interface and has the Mac4Lin Gnome interface for Mac users. What is Different Than Windows and Mac? You see with Microsoft©s Windows OS you have to defragment your computer, use an anti-virus, and run chkdsk or a check disk manually or automatically once every 3 months in order to maintain a normal Microsoft Windows environment. With Macintosh©s Mac OS you don©t have to worry about fragmentation but you do have to worry about some viruses and you still should do a check disk on your system every once in a while or whatever is equivalent to that in Microsoft©s Windows OS.

The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • Ubuntu Kung Fu.Pdf
    Prepared exclusively for J.S. Ash Beta Book Agile publishing for agile developers The book you’re reading is still under development. As part of our Beta book program, we’re releasing this copy well before we normally would. That way you’ll be able to get this content a couple of months before it’s available in finished form, and we’ll get feedback to make the book even better. The idea is that everyone wins! Be warned. The book has not had a full technical edit, so it will con- tain errors. It has not been copyedited, so it will be full of typos and other weirdness. And there’s been no effort spent doing layout, so you’ll find bad page breaks, over-long lines with little black rectan- gles, incorrect hyphenations, and all the other ugly things that you wouldn’t expect to see in a finished book. We can’t be held liable if you use this book to try to create a spiffy application and you somehow end up with a strangely shaped farm implement instead. Despite all this, we think you’ll enjoy it! Throughout this process you’ll be able to download updated PDFs from your account on http://pragprog.com. When the book is finally ready, you’ll get the final version (and subsequent updates) from the same address. In the meantime, we’d appreciate you sending us your feedback on this book at http://books.pragprog.com/titles/ktuk/errata, or by using the links at the bottom of each page.

  • Linux En Desktop Y Su Entorno Gráfico
    LINUX EN DESKTOP Charla realizada el 02/06/2009 Lic. Mariano Acciardi – Instructor grupo CATI http://www.marianoacciardi.com.ar Esta charla constituye un complemento de la anterior realizada el año pasado que puede encontrarse en http://www.marianoacciardi.com.ar/textos_gnulinux/bienvenidos.pdf , pero centránda en esta oportunidad en las particularidades del entorno gráfico y la disponibilidad de aplicaciones. Historia e Introducción Erase una vez un Sistema Operativo, poco amigable, de tristes consolas de texto, alejado de los usuarios.... Por fortuna, gracias a Mandriva (ex mandrake) y Ubuntu ello cambió y bastante. Afortunadamente hoy un usuario medio de una PC de escritorio no debería tener demasiadas dificultades para utilizar GNU/LINUX. Los instaladores han evolucionado radicalmente a apartir de knoppix y Ubuntu y esos cambios se han portado a las grandes distribuciones tradicionales como Debian. El reconocimiento de hardware no es ya un problema. La rápida evolución del kernel no ha sido indiferente en esta mejora. Hoy prácticamente no hay hardware que no sea reconocido por el kernel. Y la mayoría de los dispositivos tienen drivers genéricos aportados por la comunidad que funcionan OK. Algunas empresas se niegan aún inexplicablemente a liberar el código de sus drivers. Sin embargo siempre hay genios hackers que realizan ingeniería inversa del código y finalmente logran armar los drivers correspondientes. Este fue una de las mayores limitaciones de las primeras distribuciones, hoy en gran parte, completamente superada. La otra falsa limitación que se profesa por ignorancia es que no existen muchas aplicaciones en GNU/LINUX como si existen en Windows. Es una realidad que hay más aplicaciones para Windows que para Linux, sin embargo si tratamos de hacer un balance entre calidad y cantidad, por lejos salen ganando las aplicaciones para LINUX, hechas por hackers enamorados de la programación y por tanto adscriptos a la ética de programar bien.

  • 10 Must-Have Linux Desktop Enhancements
    10 must-have Linux desktop enhancements September 23, 2010 If you haven't experienced the Linux desktop as offered by one of the more recent distributions, you don't know what you're missing. Not only is the default desktop a thing to behold, it also allows for the addition of some amazing enhancements. From eye candy to tools that make your work more efficient, the Linux desktop can be expanded to include just about anything you want. I'm going to share some desktop enhancements that will make your Linux desktop experience far better. Some of these tools you might already know (or use) and some of them you might not -- if you find one listed that you haven't tried, install it and let us know what you think. 1: Compiz Compiz is to the Linux desktop as HiDef is to the world of television. Is it necessary? Not at all. Will it enhance your experience? Absolutely. Compiz is a compositing window manager that adds tons of functionality to the desktop -- from the stellar Desktop Cube to the various window switchers and everything in between, on top, on bottom, and around the corner. If you haven't experienced Compiz, you have no idea what the PC desktop can really do. 2: Screenlets Screenlets are tiny applications that live on your desktop and provide extra functionality. Some of these applets do little and some do quite a bit. My personal favorites are the ring sensors (various sensors for your PC) and CopyStack (a stack of clipboards that allow you to select from your clipboard history as well as drag and drop a "page" of your clipboard onto a document).
