On Thursday May 9 ended official support for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. It is therefore time to upgrade for users of these versions and derivatives, which have not yet done.

UbuntuSe ended support for Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 11.10

For Ubuntu 11.10, it will be unusual to find users stuck in that version, the second in having Unity as desktop interface. But Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx is another thing then, with the permission of Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, whose support ended last year, marked the farewell in style GNOME 2 desktop so dear.

So, what would be the recommendation for those users who will no longer receive any more updates? In the case of Ubuntu 11.10 could be the next version of the distro, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which has a long road ahead. Although the last 13.04 is another possibility, more chilly.

By contrast, someone who has so far kept in Ubuntu 10.04 may have other interests for your machine. What Debian 7 with Xfce? Recall that Wheezy has virtually the same packages that Ubuntu 12.04.

a new Saturday comes a new PING highlight some links due to time constraints we were unable to adequately cover in MuyLinux but can make you spend an interesting time this weekend.

PING # 11: RHEL, Stallman, virtualization, OpenOctave, Ubuntu 10.04, servers, Skype

Active Kubuntu

  • available : Kubuntu makers have announced the availability of this distribution with Active Plasma, the KDE desktop oriented tablets. Apparently the thing is just beginning, but it is a promising endeavor.
  • Guadalinex v8 : the distribution of the Junta de Andalucía has presented the latest edition of the popular distro that comes with a boot to 40% faster and a desk completely renovated. You can see the news on the official site of the project.
  • How Red Hat
  • became a business of 1,000 million dollars : The perfect example of successful Linux company in Ars Technica discusses the evolution of Red Hat, who left (partially) to the user end to focus on the company, managing a company with very good benefits.
  • much Stallman Stallman : I recently interviewed on The Linux Action Show by phone and this free software guru again to clarify his beliefs. In the article you have Lunduke some loose pearls.
  • Ubuntu better than RHEL servers : Mark Shuttleworth wrote an article this week on the momentum of Ubuntu on servers, and according to data from NetCraft this distro already exceeds that of Red Hat, but also says nothing about CentOS or Debian to Ubuntu still above long. As always, you can see the glass half full or half empty.
  • Virtual Machines in your browser : a very interesting article on VMware Workstation 8 in which we see how you can control the windows of our virtual machines from your browser. More details ChipLog.
  • 14 ways to help the Open Source without programming : we often wonder what we can do to help the open source community grows, and this blog will give us no less than 14 ideas for the Open Source and Free Software are becoming more and more popular.

  • Ubuntu 10.04, back to the future : funny tutorial to take advantage of many of the upgrades to the latest versions of Ubuntu, applying them to the last currently available LTS, Ubuntu 10.04. You have such practical advice in The powerbase.
  • Skype Open Source? The plot thickens : although it has long talked about the progress that had been made to reverse engineer the Skype protocol, it appears that the project is rather neglected, probably because of pressure from Microsoft and Skype itself. The Phoronix count.
  • Four years old
  • of MuyLinux : Finally, a brief reminder because this week we are celebrating the fourth anniversary of MuyLinux online. Again, thank you all for your support!
  • Gnuplot 4.6.0
  • available : This powerful application to generate graphs from all kinds of mathematical functions has made the jump to version 4.6.0, which added things like the ability to add time formats to within microseconds, new syntax for blocks of code or a statistical summary of data to draw.

    This news certainly reminds you that one in which were found up to 40 security holes in Ubuntu 10.04 kernel, only now are those detected 11 . As on that occasion, update the current recommended .

     Ubuntu10 04 Beta March 1 500x375 11 vulnerabilities in the kernel of Ubuntu 10.04. must be updated.

    find it on Softpedia News, and WIN refers only to Ubuntu . It may be shared vulnerabilities found by the same kernel version, but the bug reports are from Canonical and Ubuntu are about nothing else, it is understood that also affect the rest of the family, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc, version 10.04, which as we all know is prolonged support (LTS), so surely it is widely used in production environments.

    say, just update the system (security updates), something everyone should do every so often, so it should not present major problems. Still, in the original story warns of a change in the version number of the kernel packages, so recompile hand touch any third party module is installed afterwards.

    normal, that actualicéis once a week enough to not have any problem, no matter what the distribution that you use. But, from time to time, the importance of the changes, warning touches (the case ).

    Linux is the operating system for excellence in supercomputers and clusters, and it shows the TOP500 list is released every 6 months and clear that this is the most versatile platform at the time of taking advantage of the massive computing this kind of super machines.

     Linux supercomputer cluster Hop your Ubuntu 10.04 (or another distro)

    Well, if you have multiple computers at home can make a small Linux cluster with different solutions. In fact there are very popular alternative, but a user named Pétur wanted to write an entry on his blog that explains how to build a Cluster MPI (Message Passing Interface) with Ubuntu 10.04 .

    Pétur original goal was none other than the power to implement this joint password cracking with John The Ripper , an application that actually takes advantage of such clusters. There are other solutions are also designed to be run on clusters, so it’s an interesting idea.

    find a tutorial introduction to the experiment, addition to the requirements (at least two networked computers with Ubuntu 10.04) and all steps necessary to reach fruition.

    interesting tutorial that makes sure you know a little more the world of parallel computing , which until recently did not have so much to us.

    If you’re on Ubuntu 10.04 or its derivatives, you should know that have found numerous security problems in the Linux kernel that has this distribution . But do not sweat, just have to update to fix .

    Ubuntu

    ZDNet

    read in first and then Genbeta have discovered 40 vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel that has Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx , a version that is currently using a lot of people, especially in environments production, being the latest LTS (Long Term Support, with expanded-) which has launched Canonical.

    According to reveal the original source, some of these problems would be related to the way packages are validated, allowing a Denial of Service (DOS) or a security hole in NFSv4 ( Network File System v4), which allow an attacker to gain administrative privileges (have been detected up to 14 problems of the first type and 9 of the second).

    bad continues and errors related to file permissions , which would not respect the recommended settings by putting privacy at risk in multiuser environments.

    The whole family

    Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu …) is affected by these vulnerabilities, so it is highly recommended update the system as soon as possible . No dramas, but do not you go .
