[125010010010] |<title>New ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) proposed themes</title>
[125010010020] |<strong>Finestly</strong>
[125010010030] |Yin and Yang - Dark and Bright …My idea is that many peoples loves dark- or bright-themes …or they like to switch sometimes, depending the wallpaper they use.
[125010010040] |The Theme is adjusted to the Humanity-Icons and pointed to be a simple EyeCandy-theme.
[125010010050] |The used engine is murrine.
[125010010060] |<strong>Lucid X</strong>
[125010010070] |Lucid X is a dark theme which uses glossy buttons and the murrine engine from git.
[125010010080] |The idea was to make a dark, modern and usable theme for Ubuntu.
[125010010090] |<strong>MRS</strong>
[125010010100] |A theme with very soft lines
[125010010110] |<strong>Peaches and Cream</strong>
[125010010120] |This is an alternate window decoration for the Kin GNOME theme.
[125010010130] |<strong>Sorbet</strong>
[125010010140] |Ubuntu derived theme with subtle gradients and lighter colors based on a loose interpretation of the new look of Ubuntu\’s Single Sign On.
[125010010150] |Metacity buttons based on the phenomenal Homosapien theme.
[125010010160] |<strong>Elementary: Empathy</strong>
[125010010170] |After deciding to switch to the new IM client of GNOME I started to develop a theme to integrate it into our elementary interface.
[125010010180] |I started working from vectors published by DanRabbit and, after little modification, I used the color scheme of elementary icons theme to adapt them to the interface.
[125010010190] |24×24 icons are positioned in the upper panel, notification area, which is why I used the totally gray vettors.
[125010010200] |The colored icons 16×16 and 22×22 are used in the interface of the program, they include states (online, busy, away, etc) but also the action, if there is a new message, and applications, the two stars are been replaced.
[125010010210] |The theme is beautiful, and brings an air of innovation built a program with infinite potential, but still must grow.

[125010020010] |<title>Tulip - Graph visualization software</title>
[125010020020] |The research by the information visualization community show clearly that using a visual representation of data-sets enables faster analysis by the end users.
[125010020030] |<a>Tulip</a>, created by David AUBER, is a contribution of the area of information visualization, “InfoViz”.
[125010020040] |Even if the Tulip framework enables the visualization, the drawing and the edition of small graphs, all the parts of the framework have been built in order to be able to visualize graphs having to 1.000.000 elements.
[125010020050] |A visualization system must draw and display huge graphs, enables to navigate through geometric operations as well as extracts subgraphs of the data and allows to change the representation of the results obtained by filtering.
[125010020060] |The Tulip architecture provides the following features :
[125010020070] |* 3D visualizations
[125010020080] |* 3D modifications
[125010020090] |* Plug-in support for easy evolution
[125010020100] |* Building of clusters and navigation into it
[125010020110] |* Automatic drawing of graphs
[125010020120] |* Automatic clustering of graphs
[125010020130] |* Automatic selection of elements
[125010020140] |* Automatic Metric coloration of graphs

[125010060020] |A utility to multiplex ssh dynamic tunnels.
[125010060030] |Frequently, for instance when proxying a torrent client through a tunnel established with ssh -D, the tunnel will be swamped by traffic. sshsplit spawns multiple instances and distributes the load among them.
[125010060040] |An example perhaps serves better.
[125010060050] |Normally you would: ssh -D 54321 remote-host – to get a tunnel on 127.0.0.1:54321 that goes through remote-host.
[125010060060] |However, if you are using a network-resource-intensive application (torrent clients for example), this single tunnel will not suffice for, say, 1000 concurrent connections. sshsplit launches several instances of the ssh dynamic tunnel and then load balances between them.
[125010060070] |If no arguments are passed, sshsplit launches the configuration GUI.
[125010060080] |Otherwise, for help, run: sshsplit -h. sshsplit can also be configured to use any binary you would like
[125010060090] |<strong>Install sshsplit in Ubuntu Karmic</strong>
[125010060100] |Open the terminal and run the commands

[125010170020] |The Zero Install Injector makes it easy for users to install software without needing root privileges.
[125010170030] |It takes the URL of a program and runs it (downloading it first if necessary).
[125010170040] |Any dependencies of the program are fetched in the same way.
[125010170050] |The user controls which version of the program and its dependencies to use.
[125010170060] |Zero Install is a decentralized installation system (there is no central repository; all packages are identified by URLs), loosly-coupled (if different programs require different versions of a library then both versions are installed in parallel, without conflicts), and has an emphasis on security (all package descriptions are GPG-signed, and contain cryptographic hashes of the contents of each version).
[125010170070] |Each version of each program is stored in its own sub-directory within the Zero Install cache (nothing is installed to directories outside of the cache, such as /usr/bin) and no code from the package is run during install or uninstall.
[125010170080] |The system can automatically check for updates when software is run.

[125010180010] |<title>Canonical’s design team responds to theme criticisms</title>
[125010180020] |Canonical is burying Ubuntu’s traditional brown theme and is adopting a new visual style for version 10.04, which is scheduled for release in April.
[125010180030] |The new theme was revealed last week as part of Canonical’s broader effort to overhaul Ubuntu’s branding and visual identity.
[125010180040] |The new theme includes a richer color palette and a number of stylistic enhancements.
[125010180050] |The change that has generated the most controversy is the placement of the window management buttons in the left-hand side of the titlebar.
[125010180060] |In response to some of the concerns that have been raised by users, Canonical designer Ivanka Majic has written a <a>blog entry</a> that describes the reasons behind the change.
[125010180070] |Majic is also seeking additional feedback from the Ubuntu community.
[125010180080] |The designers looked closely at the placement and configuration of the window management buttons on other platforms and considered a number of factors, such as the use cases for maximization, the potential advantages of moving the window management buttons into closer proximity with the menu elements, and the challenges of diverging from the configuration that is currently familiar to users.
[125010180090] |When I first started testing the theme, I didn’t really have an opinion because I generally don’t use the titlebar for window management.
[125010180100] |I have keyboard shortcuts configured for all the standard window management operations.
[125010180110] |To move the window, I typically use alt+click dragging, because it lets me click anywhere inside of the window.
[125010180120] |That’s more efficient than having to aim for the titlebar, which is a much smaller target.
[125010180130] |For similar reasons, I configured Compiz to let me close a window by using alt+right-click anywhere inside the window’s boundaries.
[125010180140] |(When I use other operating systems that don’t have alt+click dragging, I’m always amazed by how profoundly the absence of that feature detrimentally impacts my productivity.)
[125010180150] |Although I rarely ever touch the titlebar, the new layout consistently confuses me on the rare occasions when I attempt to do so.
[125010180160] |The resulting disorientation has started to bother me and I’m beginning to sympathize a bit with the critics.
[125010180170] |It’s possible, however, that users who rely more heavily on the titlebar for window management will adapt more quickly.
[125010180180] |Our readers have already broadly discussed their preferred titlebar button positioning in the threads of our previous articles about the new theme.
[125010180190] |Unfortunately, I think that the hyper-focus on the minutiae of widget placement has detracted from the opportunity to take a look at the bigger picture.

[125010200020] |These days, I’ve heard a lot of arguments about the new design of the window control of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.Some people like buttons on the left, and some like the right side.I think the important thing is: how user can change it.So that’s what Ubuntu Tweak does.
[125010200030] |It was 0.5.1 when Ubuntu Tweak supports arrange the window titlebar layout.In order to make it much more easier to let user switch the place, I improved this feature in Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.3.

[125010210020] |Mark Shuttleworth’s response to left side button criticisms.
[125010210030] |The default position of the window controls will remain the left,throughout beta1.
[125010210040] |We’re interested in data which could influence the ultimate decision.
[125010210050] |There are good reasons both for the change, and against them, and ultimately the position will be decided based on what we want to achieve over time.
[125010210060] |Moving everything to the left opens up the space on the right nicely,and I would like to experiment in 10.10 with some innovative options there.
[125010210070] |It’s much easier to do that if we make this change now.
[125010210080] |I appreciate that it’s an emotive subject, and apologise for the fact that I haven’t been responding in detail to every comment - I’m busy moving house this week.
[125010210090] |But the design team is well aware of the controversy,your (polite) comments and more importantly *data* are very welcome and will help make the best decision.
[125010210100] |When we have a celebrity bug report like this, it’s a real exercise for our values of communication, civility, and ubuntu.
[125010210110] |Thank you to those who have pointed to the code of conduct when things get heated.

[125010210140] |Please centre the window title like in previous Human theme, and also re-order the window controls in classic order, positioned on the right side (menu - title - minimize, maximize close).

[125010270010] |<title>How to install ZTE MF626/MF100 HSDPA modem in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)</title>
[125010270020] |This guide explains a very easy way to reconfigure your ZTE MF626 HSDPA modem to be plug and play in Ubuntu in just 6 simple steps.
[125010270030] |You will need a computer with hyperterminal (included with windows XP) to send AT commands to the modem.
[125010270040] |I’m sure there is a way to do this from Ubuntu - someone with more expertise can correct me here.
[125010270050] |For now just borrow your friend’s XP netbook while he is looking the other way.
[125010270060] |Please note that Vista no longer includes hyperterminal - see <a>here</a> for information on alternatives.
[125010270070] |1. Connect your ZTE MF626 to the USB port of your computer with hyperterminal on it.
[125010270080] |The modem will automatically install the appropriate drivers and launch the User Interface (UI).
[125010270090] |2. Determine the COM port of the modem by inspecting the modem properties under <strong>Modems</strong> in the Device Manager (do not get confused with ZTE Dianostics Interface or others).
[125010270100] |3. Close the UI and open hyperterminal (or equivalent) and connect to the appropriate COM port using these parameters:
[125010270110] |Speed: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: None
[125010270120] |4. Input the following command (you may wish to turn on local echo so you can see what you are typing):
[125010270130] |AT+ZCDRUN=8
[125010270140] |You should receive the following back in confirmation:
[125010270150] |Close autorun state result(0:FAIL 1:SUCCESS):1
[125010270160] |5. Close the hyperterminal connection and unplug the modem.
[125010270170] |Your modem is now reconfigured to be plug and play in Ubuntu.
[125010270180] |6. Connect you modem to your Ubuntu computer.
[125010270190] |In the NetworkManager Applet you should find the option to create a new mobile broadband connection.
[125010270200] |Do so with the location and APN appropriate to you ISP.
[125010270210] |You should now be able to connect successfully to the internet and your modem should function as a plug and play device in Ubuntu.
[125010270220] |This works by disabling the self installation and autorun features which would otherwise cause Ubuntu to detect the modem as a CD-ROM.
[125010270230] |If you wish to revert the modem to it’s orginal settings to allow atomatic UI installation on windows PCs the command to do so is: AT+ZCDRUN=9 (administered by hyperterminal as above)

[125010360020] |Flat file extractor (ffe) can be used for parsing different flat file structures and printing them in different formats. ffe can also process fixed length binary files. ffe is a command line tool developed in GNU/Linux environment and it is distributed under GNU General Public License 2 or later. ffe has been build using GNU autotools so it should be possible to build ffe in many kinds UNIX-like systems.
[125010360030] |Main areas of use are:
[125010360040] |* Extracting particular fields or records from a flat file, text or binary
[125010360050] |* Converting data from one format to an other, e.g. from CSV to fixed length
[125010360060] |* Verifying a flat file structure
[125010360070] |* Testing tool for flat file development
[125010360080] |* Displaying flat file content in human readable form
[125010360090] |* Modifying flat file structures
[125010360100] |* Map flat file fields to another format
[125010360110] |<strong>Main features</strong>
[125010360120] |* Command-line tool
[125010360130] |* Reads standard input and writes to standard output as default
[125010360140] |* One input file can contain several types of records (lines or binary blocks)
[125010360150] |* Fields in a flat file can be fixed length text or binary fields or separated fields
[125010360160] |* Input file structure and output definitions are independent, meaning one output format can be used with several input files
[125010360170] |* Input file structure and output format are configurable, they are not predefined
[125010360180] |* Output can be formatted e.g.: fixed length, separated, tokenized, XML, SQL,…
[125010360190] |* ffe tries to guess the input format, user needs not to give it as a parameter
[125010360200] |Install ffe in ubuntu
[125010360210] |sudo apt-get install ffe
[125010360220] |<strong>Example</strong>
