Feedly and Unity, a lovely couple

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”68″>

If you are one of those users that Google is going to stop lying to the closure of Reader and all of the alternatives, which are many, I’ve opted for Feedly, if also a member of Ubuntu and I like to take advantage Unity, you’re in luck, because webapp of Feedly is available .

web app feedly 500x264Feedly unity and Unity, a lovely couple

In fact, the application has been in development a couple of months, but it was not until Monday that unveiled via OMG! Ubuntu! It was a story that was reserved for the PING , and we had to do “weird things” to install, but everything has changed since the advent of, yes, a PPA repository .

So without much eat the head, because I’m not interested Feedly especially (for me), I was able to install the app , test and check that runs luxury and Here I come, to recommend it to any user of Ubuntu and Feedly because it is, as they say, must have .

To install this application, available for Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04, open the console and:

Once installed

to activate entering Feedly, which as you know users of this service is only available on PC from your extension for Firefox or Chrome / Chromium (above link). And although presumably Chrome Chromium-that also integrates -webapps of Ubuntu, me I only worked with Firefox . Yes, it has worked very well.

In fact, it has worked exceptionally well, considering the profound disappointment that I took with webapps on Ubuntu 13.04. The same to which Mark Shuttleworth introduced at the time as “first class citizens on the desktop” and I have found-all I’ve tried: Gmail, Docs, Twitter, Google, Grooveshark … – useless. What the hell I want an icon in the panel that serves only pitcher

that happens with Feedly, which shows the number of unread items in the panel icon and integrates with the Ubuntu notification system , as shown in the header image for this post. This really is a webapp ! I said: Recommended one hundred percent.

Note: I remember reading some incompatibility issues webapps in Ubuntu 13.04, but I have not quite clear. If there is a ‘ubuntero’ advanced out there that I can get out of doubt, be happy to read your comments.

openSUSE LXDE could switch to E17 in the installation DVD

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”59″>

A new feature of openSUSE 12.3 was the final version of include Enlightenment , E17, but only in the repositories, because it does not fit in in the DVD image. Now, according to Phoronix echo, distribution developers are considering this desk take the place of LXDE, that “there seems to be very much alive”.

openSUSE could change E17 LXDE installation DVD

The reasons for this change, which is being discussed in the openSUSE mailing list factory, would be mentioned, that does not fit all on one DVD and LXDE seems to have a too active, which is not entirely true, because although the desktop version numbering remains constant light, its different components if they receive updates from time to time. At the same time, no one could say that the development of E17 is a roundabout, when the development of the current version is “completed” last December, after 12 years of work.

biggest problem solving conducted this proposal would be the inability to install from the DVD to LXDE desktop environment , and is thus posed other ways, such as leaving out both E17 LXDE as the installation image, and include the option to access YaST both with an Internet connection, redundant, since the same facility as they continue and will remain available in the repositories.

Before jumping the ‘opensuseros’ bolder should be noted that it is possible to do so from the YaST installer , and include few additional repositories you want, choose packages, etc. ., but are options for the experienced user.

Back then, you’d think users prefer LXDE E17 to at least seeing the results of our latest survey, which ended yesterday and we’ll find out tomorrow.
