Dropbox Uploader Bash Script: Useful For Servers, Raspberry Pi And More

| Date: January 31, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: cloud, dropbox, linux, macosx, Raspberry Pi, script, server, ubuntu

Dropbox Uploader is a bash script you can use to access your Dropbox files from the command line, without having to install the Dropbox client. The script can upload, download, delete, share or list the files available in your Dropbox account.

The script is useful in many situations, including: automatic backups, access Dropbox from an ARM server / Raspberry Pi, etc. (since Dropbox isn't available for ARM). That's because its only requirement is cURL, so you don't have to install the Dropbox client to quickly upload or download some files from Dropbox.

Sublime Text 3 Beta Available For Download

| Date: January 29, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: ide, linux, macosx, sublime text, text editor, ubuntu, windows

Sublime Text is probably among the best text/code editors available for Linux, and it's cross-platform so it works on Windows and Mac OS X too.

Sublime Text 2 stable was released about 7 months ago and since then, its developer has been working on a new version: Sublime Text 3. Even though Sublime Text is not free, up until now, users could evaluate it for an unlimited period of time which basically meant you didn't really had to buy it unless you wanted to support the developer. However, the latest Sublime Text 3 beta can only be used if you've purchased a license (USD $70, pretty expensive I'd say), but the old evaluation model might be used later on.


I-Nex: Tool To List Hardware Information In Linux, Similar To CPU-Z

| Date: January 29, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: hardware, i-nex, linux, ubuntu

I-Nex is an application that gathers information for hardware components available on your system and displays it using an user interface similar to the popular Windows tool CPU-Z.

I-Nex can display information for the following components: CPU, GPU, Motherboard, Sound, Hard disks, RAM, Network and USB as well as some system info like the hostname, Linux distribution and version, Xorg, GCC, GLX versions and Linux Kernel info.

Besides being able to display hardware information, I-Nex can also generate an advanced report for which you can select what to include and optionally send the report to a service such as Pastebin (and others). It also features an option to take a screenshot of the I-Nex window directly from the application.

Upgrade To Gvfs With MTP Support In Ubuntu 12.04 To Easily Connect Android 4.0+ Devices

| Date: January 28, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: android, fix, gvfs, linux, mtp, ubuntu

Like I was telling you a while back, Gvfs has been updated in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, bringing a new MTP backend which allows users to access Android 4.0 devices which do not support the USB Mass Storage protocol, along with many other changes. Since it's unlikely for the latest Gvfs (1.15.2) to be backported to older Ubuntu releases, you can use a PPA which has the latest Gvfs MTP backend backported to Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.

Watch LOVEFiLM, Maxdome And RedBox Videos In Ubuntu Using The Netflix Desktop PPA

The Netflix Desktop Ubuntu PPA has been updated with separate packages for LOVEFiLM, RedBox and Maxdome, three video streaming services similar to Netflix.

LOVEFiLM, Maxdome and RedBox, like Netflix, are on demand TV shows and movie streaming services that require Microsoft's Silverlight plugin to play so they don't work natively under Linux, but thanks to Erich Hoover's custom WINE build, it's now possible to use all these services on Linux.

Eclipse IDE: Get Ubuntu AppMenu And HUD Support

| Date: January 24, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: appmenu, eclipse, hud, ide, linux, tweak, ubuntu

By default, the popular Eclipse IDE does not support the Ubuntu AppMenu or  HUD. The reason for this is that Eclipse has been blacklisted so it wouldn't use the AppMenu around the time of Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat because it didn't work back then.

Now Eclipse does work with the AppMenu, however, there are some minor glitches like some menu shortcuts not being displayed (although they do work). If this isn't a problem for you, here's a quick way to whitelist Eclipse so it can make use of Ubuntu's Appmenu and HUD.

Below you can see Eclipse IDE with global menu and HUD support running in Ubuntu 13.04:

Ubuntu may become a rolling release distribution, but keeping LTS (Long Term Release) releases every two years.

Leann Ogasawara, Canonical Kernel Team Manager has said in a recent Google+ hangout that it has been discussed to use a rolling release model between LTS releases. This is just a discussion for now, but it could become a reality starting with Ubuntu 14.04:

Unity Reboot (Launcher To Quickly Reboot In A Different OS) Updated For Ubuntu 12.10 And 13.04

| Date: January 22, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: dual boot, launcher, linux, ubuntu, unity, unity reboot

Today I've updated Unity Reboot to work with the latest GRUB 2.0 available in Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04.

Unity Reboot is a custom Unity launcher that can be used to quickly reboot into a different OS / Linux distribution, useful for those who dual boot (or triple boot or... it should work with any number of operating systems, including Windows, various Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora, etc.). This isn't just for Unity and it should also work with docks that support Unity quicklists, like DockBarX, Cairo Dock or Plank.

Here's a screenshot with Unity Reboot in Ubuntu 12.10 on a system on which I triple boot: Ubuntu 12.10, Fedora 18 and Windows 7 (in VirtualBox, set up just for testing this):

Unity Changes - Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail

| Date: January 19, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: linux, raring ringtail, ubuntu, unity

As you probably know, there will be no alpha milestones for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail and Unity has got some minor, but interesting changes since the Raring development has begun, so I though I'd make a video showing some of these features so you can see what's new.

For instance, in an update last night, the BFB (the Ubuntu logo button used to open Dash) got the new asset (icon) we wrote about a while back. The same update has brought refreshed Launcher tile assets and the removal of the 32px minimum Launcher icon size limit.

| Date: January 18, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: drop-down, linux, terminal, ubuntu, xfce

Xfce4 Terminal drop-down running in Xfce
Xfce4 Terminal has been updated recently, two new versions being released: 0.6.0 and 0.6.1, and many new features were added, including an option to use the terminal as a drop-down console, like Guake or Yakuake. But this new feature isn't available as an option in the Xfce4 Terminal preferences, so here's how to use it.

Among the new features added in the latest Xfce4 Terminal 0.6.x, are:
  • Added search dialog;
  • Terminal tab color changes when activity occurs in a tab since last viewed;
  • Support for color presets and some presets were added by default, including "Solarized Dark", my favourite terminal / text editor color scheme that I've been using everywhere for a long time (see: Solarized: A Must Have Color Scheme For Gnome Terminal, Vim, Gedit And Lots More)
  • Drop-down window support when using "--drop-down" parameter

Enable TRIM On SSD (Solid-State Drives) In Ubuntu For Better Performance

| Date: January 15, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: hardware, hdd, linux, optimize, performance, ssd, tips n tricks, ubuntu

kingston ssd 120gb v200


TRIM allows the OS to "inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally". Without using TRIM, the SSD speed decreases after a while so if you have a solid-state drive that supports TRIM, you should enable it so your SSD remains fast over time.

This isn't easy to benchmark because the performance decreases over time so you'd neet to check the SSD speed constantly for a few months to see exactly how the SSD is affected when TRIM is not enabled. But if your SSD read / write speed decreases a lot over time and you haven't enabled TRIM, this may be way.

Some articles mention using online discard - enabling TRIM by adding the "discard" option to /etc/fstab -, but there are many who say this isn't a good idea for most solid-state drives and you'll get a pretty significant performance hit when trying to delete a large number of small files. So below I'll let you know how to use both of these methods: online discard (not recommended) and the recommended way: using fstrim and a cron (anacron) job.

Note: the instructions below have been tested in Ubuntu, but they may (most probably) work with other Linux distributions as well.

Beautiful MediterraneanNight GTK 3.6 Theme Pack Updated

| Date: January 15, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: eyecandy, gnome3, themes, ubuntu, xfce

MediterraneanNight is a pack of 3 darkish GTK3 themes based on Gnome Cupertino available for both GTK3.4 (Ubuntu 12.04) and GTK3.6 (Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04) as well as for Xfce.

The beautiful theme pack has been updated yesterday, getting some interesting changes, but only for the GTK3.6 version:
  • new switches,
  • more rounded buttons,
  • improved Rhythmbox sidebar color,
  • Nautilus 3.6 changes: pathbar better spacing, improved icons sidebar color, changed the style of tabs (better readability),
  • many fixes and details like fixed OSD widget, checkbox and radiobutton symbols in menus, fixed Synaptic GTK3 toolbar and more.

Below you can see a few screenshots featuring the latest MediterraneanNight, MediterraneanDark and MediterraneanLight for GTK 3.6:

Spotify Ubuntu Ambiance Theme

Michael Tunnell has created a nice Ambiance theme for Spotify which makes the Spotify Linux client integrate better with the Ubuntu desktop.

For those not familiar with Spotify, this is a music streaming service with comes with desktop applications for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X as well as iOS, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone. The service is available in a limited number of countries. More @ Wikipedia.

The Ambiance Spotify theme comes with Ambiance-like toolbar and colors, a better Spotify tray icon especially designed to look like the Ubuntu Mono Dark icon set (the default icons used in Ubuntu), along with other tweaks that try to give Spotify a more native feel.

Here's a screenshot in which I'm using the Ambiance Spotify theme in Ubuntu:

Fix Facebook Not Working With Gwibber In Ubuntu 12.10 Or 12.04

| Date: January 14, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: facebook, fix, gwibber, linux, tips n tricks, ubuntu

Facebook doesn't currently work with Gwibber (the Facebook feeds aren't updated - bug HERE) and this bug affects Ubuntu 12.10, 12.04 and probably older Ubuntu versions as well.

Update: This bug also affected Ubuntu 13.04 (currently under development), but a fix was pushed a few minutes after publishing this post. Hopefully the fix will make it into older Ubuntu versions soon.

There is, however, a work-around which I can confirm it works for Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal and 12.04 Precise Pangolin - so here's how to apply it and get Facebook to work with Gwibber again!

Undistract-me Notifies You When Terminal Commands Are Completed

| Date: January 12, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: cli, linux, terminal, ubuntu, undistract-me

Undistract-me is a simple tool that notifies you when a command you run in a terminal which takes longer than ten seconds to finish is done.

Besides letting you know that the command has finished running, the notifications sent by Undistract-me display the command you ran (useful if you run multiple commands in the same time) and the number of seconds it took for the command to finish.

This can be useful e.g. when you start to compile something and then you switch to some other window to read your emails or whatever and get distracted and forget about the command you ran: Undistract-me displays a notification when the command / job you ran in the terminal is done so you can go back to the terminal and see the final result, etc.

It's time for another fix, this time for wired / wireless network not working after resume from suspend. In Ubuntu, sometimes when resuming from sleep, the wired network doesn't work and I keep getting "disconnected" notifications. I've read that some users are having similar issue with the wireless connection but for me, it's always the Ethernet connection.

Ubuntu: LightDM Black Screen When Using SSD Workaround

| Date: January 08, 2013 | View Comments | Tags: fix, gdm, lightdm, ssd, ubuntu

Some Ubuntu users are reporting LightDM errors when using a SSD: about half the time when starting the computer, LightDM (the default Ubuntu display manager) doesn't load correctly and only a black screen and a blinking command line cursor shows up. The issue isn't limited to those who are using a SSD, but it's a lot more frequent when booting Ubuntu from a solid-state drive.

I too am experiencing this issue with Ubuntu 12.10 (not tested on older Ubuntu versions because I didn't have a SSD when I was using 12.04) and I've found two possible workarounds which have worked for me so I thought I'd share them with you, in case you're experiencing the same issue.

Bodhi Linux 2.2.0: Desktop profile, default theme

The latest Bodhi Linux 2.2.0, released yesterday, is the first version to ship with the new stable E17 desktop.

But that's not all, the new release also comes with two 32bit versions: one that has PAE enabled by default and one that uses the non-PAE Linux Kernel - however, the non-PAE Kernel is older: 3.2 while the PAE-enabled version ships with the 3.7 Kernel. This means that old computers that couldn't boot the previous release (or that can't boot Ubuntu 12.04 / 12.10) can now do so by using the Bodhi Linux 2.2.0 non-PAE ISO.
