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.

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”50″>

Lightworks Anyone remember? This software professional nonlinear video editing it would be Open Source in 2010 and reach Linux in late 2011 … A picture is worth a thousand words, they say:

500x281 Lightworks Lightworks Beta could come in late March

According to Engadget

count, just shown the first official video Lightworks , and by the looks of it, and the publication of the video itself, it appears that the beta program might be to fall, at least in Ubuntu and derivatives.

is true. The beta of Windows Lightworks reached in December 2010, but it was not until August that we saw the first video of this software running on Ubuntu. “You are about to arrive,” we said. But no. In October we launched the alpha version available to a few, and that was the last we had information about it. Until now.

This new video is different because it’s official , and in fact the first thing it says is that “ as the roadmap one major update will arrive in late March to all platforms “, including Windows, Mac OS X and … yes, Linux. Do we trust this time?

Here you can see

Lightworks in action on Ubuntu , a video that serves as a tutorial introduction to the application:

We recall that

Lightworks is a software with a lot of baggage behind , behind film editing level Raging Bull , The Aviator , The Departed , Pulp Fiction or Shutter Island . We also recall that is not going to be Open Source. At least not as originally promised. Anyway, look forward to good news soon.

China could open its doors to consoles

If you did not know, probably feel a little weird to read that in 2013 there is a country that has banned the entry and console sales to their lands for over 12 years. However the reality is that China closed its doors to video games and today is looking back to trade them.

measure was taken to protect children and adolescents considering that consoles can produce a danger to the mental development of young people. It was taken by seven mysteries of Chinese and need the same number to lift the sanction.

China Daily said sources close to the Chinese Ministry have stated that they are “analyzing policy to open the console market.”

reading that you can have for this is purely commercial, because at the moment there is a black market in China console and remove barriers to companies like Sony and Nintendo do not just end with this dark market but also help the two companies.

With respect to the latter China would be an entirely new market to exploit and, for that reason, to allow sales of these consoles in the eastern country shares would rise sharply Sony and Nintendo in the Japanese market by increasing sales this would produce.

forecast mode, Sony would have installed a secondary venue in the middle of last year in Guangdong Province, China. Furthermore, Microsoft managed to introduce its Kinect last year but not as a console but under the heading of medical treatment and education.

In China there is currently only games for mobile devices and other online titles that can be played through the computer, to approve this motion would be a new world for the people of that country.

Could be rolling release Ubuntu from Ubuntu 14.04

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”44″>

Canonical developers are debating a change really crucial in the development cycle distribution, which since its inception has respected that pace for a new version every six months. Ubuntu users have become accustomed to that pace, but that does not mean there is an equally interesting turn distro Ubuntu in a ‘rolling release’ .

500x365 ubuntu rolling release could be rolling release Ubuntu from Ubuntu 14.04

The best example is probably rolling release distribution Arch Linux, which has become a model of efficiency of this philosophy on which no predetermined cycles of new releases: our distribution is always the last because they are installed components that are considered ready for production automatically.

Actually this behavior is similar to the versions of Windows , who for years have worked with the mechanism of the automatic updates and only looked radically affected Where the appearing service packs, which are merely sets updates. The advantages of a rolling release model are obvious, for example would not have to wait for the next version of Ubuntu to enjoy the improvements in new kernels.

are debating what the Ubuntu developers, as confirmed in a Google Hangout a developer Canonical, indicating that possible migration to a rolling release philosophy from Ubuntu 14.04 , which would the latest version of Ubuntu would respect the classic cycle of 6 months of development.

The downside, as discussed in Ars Technica, is the fact that to some extent rolling releases are usually less stable distributions that distributions with fixed cycles of renovation, especially by the fact that distributions like Ubuntu have the opportunity to have several drafts and plenty of time to detect problems (most, anyway) and fix them before releasing the final versions.

can see the video of this Google Hangout and jump to minute 42 to hear those comments on the possible migration to a rolling release model.
