To remind its finest, Apple published a video on the front page of your website. The tribute includes pictures of different stages in the life of Jobs and audios with his most remembered.

In the open source world really like the antics of the versions, and is often complicated a program that comes easily to a round version . In fact, it may be years until the developer or developers decide to give their projects the honor to get to version 1.0.

what happened with FFmpeg, one of the most respected open source projects, legendary and valuable worldwide because its developers have decided to finally launch FFmpeg 1.0 , a version that comes after more than a decade of work and that is the basis of many media tools like VLC, MPlayer and even plays a role in the YouTube service.

Phoronix

How to recover Ubuntu boot animation and Co. after installing the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA and ATI

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”61″>

There is an error, the more seedy than annoying, at least affected Ubuntu and family for a few versions, which, once installed proprietary drivers for your graphics card (ATI or NVIDIA), the boot animation disappears . You asked for a solution to this issue, so I’ll give you the recipe that I served to me.

Recovering plymouth1 ubuntu boot animation and Co. Ubuntu after installing the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA and ATI

The first is

check what resolutions your monitor supports , so install a few packages for this purpose:

Now it see if you’re lucky:

Do you find the optimum resolution of your monitor from the list? No? Bad luck … If yes, pass to edit the GRUB configuration . You open the terminal, and:

If you are in Kubuntu, the first command should be replaced by kdesudo , and in all cases, the three ‘x’ for your default text editor (gedit on Ubuntu, kate in Kubuntu leafpad in Xubuntu or Lubuntu … all directly or nano).

looking GRUB_GFXMODE line # = 640 × 480 and below it you copy the following, changing the resolution you play: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX = 1024 × 768.

You observe the commandments file and console the three steps below :

When you finish

and only have to reboot , whose boot should have regained the corresponding animation.

sources because I took the solution of the Ubuntu forums, but I can not remember the exact page (the information I saved it just in case). Anyway, there must be a thousand and one similar publications over the Internet, so if you do not work what I just told you, you have to keep looking.

One of our readers in the comments explaining the failure is due to lack of support from NVIDIA and ATI framebuffer kernel mode, where Plymouth works, so that affects any distribution that uses the system boot . However, testing with openSUSE 12.2, which opens with GRUB2 and Plymouth, I have not had that error. Unsolved Mysteries …

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”45″>

Beyond expectations are creating the next arrival of Steam for Linux, a few days ago announcing the release of Warsow 1.0 , a milestone in the development of the FPS, which was 7 years in beta.

Warsow Wallpaper 3 by Nickelpat After seven years of development, Warsow 1.0

Warsow is one of many games arising from Quake II engine , one of its modifications, Qfusion-, although it differs from most by a visual style close to that of cartoon of cyberpunk imagery. Of course, like the rest, only offers online multiplayer.

For updates to Warsow 1.0 you have at your disposal a list of changes, which explains everything in detail. If, however, want to take action in the download section find installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu 12.04 (the ‘tar.gz’ should work on any distro).

1.0 Nouveau comes seven years after

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”36″>

effort to achieve an Open Source driver for NVIDIA graphics cards spent seven years running: the Nouveau project has concluded with the publication of Nouveau 1.0.0 , a development version of redondísima with a huge merit.

nvidia linux 1.0 Nouveau comes seven years after

The move to that version shows the maturity of the open controller, which have long been part of Mesa 3D long and WIN Nouveau DRM driver which is developed as part of the Linux kernel and left the area Linux 3.4 kernel staging for some time.

This development supports 2 monitors configurations with aa 2D acceleration via EXA, while providing all the necessary components to achieve 3D acceleration with virtually all NVIDIA chips .

firm proprietary drivers are doing much better 3D gaming but not too complex in structure and WIN graphical effects for GNOME or KDE Nouveau drivers and 3D performance is more than enough . That’s right: these drivers are not able (yet) to manage the power saving modes, so that fans of our discrete graphics shall be operated with much greater frequency. Anyway, many congratulations to the entire development team for a simply fantastic.

The vulnerability comes to stay …

recent scandal first came to Apple with the “Antennagate” couple of years ago. Much as in the biography of Mr. Jobs said that the strategy used by the former founder was a milestone in the marketing business, also stripped the company to put its users to question the (expensive) quality that was presumed.

The ghost returned to haunt after the start of the new iPad tablet to achieve in less than ten minutes, the temperature nearly 34 degrees Celsius (its predecessor, the iPad 2, was not getting to 28 degrees ).

While the company was met by saying that the heat was within allowable limits, reappears Flashback, a Trojan who had flirted subtly in September 2011 with Macs and that this time returned to affect more than 600 000 computers (and prove, by the way, which brand teams are no strangers to facing daily virus Windows)

The company did well tattoo the word “vulnerable” on the forehead. Need to know if it will be temporary or permanent.

All against Apple

this bed of roses, the next step could not occur if there are no thorns. After leaving the iPad high definition, the word “demand” also reappeared against the creator of the iPhone and iPod. The campaign coordinated among several European consumer organizations put Apple on the altar of sacrifice for technicalities and fees in your warranty service.

768 hours, 1 month. That’s what has passed for the company at this time … and 2012 still looks like the carnival queen makeup-just-that has yet to cross 8 lanes.
