Online searches (such as Amazon) may disable Unity easily

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”40″>

Jono Bacon , Ubuntu community manager, published a post in which he explains how Canonical act before the doubts generated by the inclusion of the Amazon product searches in the latest Unity.

Search online (like Amazon) Unity may easily disable

According

Bacon, Canonical developers are working on a switch in Ubuntu Privacy Preferences that let users disable all online searches that are dispnibles in the system (for now, only the Amazon).

That means that the results will not get those results from the Internet unless you so wish, but be aware that others are disabled as well as Internet searches of Gwibber or YouTube, so you probably should create independent switches as search interest to one or the other.

Actually I can

disable those searches which are also made in Amazon Shopping uninstalling the Lens with the following command:

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

But

facilitate the switch on or off the property without having to uninstall the package. is expected to Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2, which appears today, and integrate this mechanism .

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”41″>

to mount shared folders with Samba SMB protocol advantage is something that Linux distributions have tried to facilitate, but inexperienced users may feel a little dismayed at this task. But there are alternative solutions, and WIN one of them is NitroShare, we just discovered and that looks good .

500x388 nitroshare NitroShare, share files and folders easily between Linux and Windows

WebUpd8 count, where we explain the installation and use is easy: simply install the application on Windows and Linux you want, from which those teams detect that can share files and Folders automatically.

original article explaining the complete operation of the tool, for example in Linux offers several ways to share those files, both from within the application, from Nautilus or from so-called “Share boxes” , which are sort of desktop widgets that let you drag and drop items to share.

NitroShare install Ubuntu will have to do the following: 

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa: george-edison55/nitroshare
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nitroshare

While other distributions and Windows you have the binary executable and well-prepared source code, of course, to take full advantage of this interesting and useful development.

Mozilla has added a new tool to its suite Webmaker: the launch of Mozilla Thimble allows users, especially novices, to design a website in a simple way.

Thimble is in its most basic a visual HTML editor with an integrated tutorial providing the means for users to create and preview the websites that are created in real time, using an interface that colocal an editor to the left and a preview window on the right.

The application also alerts users when they make a programming error, offering simple explanations that emphasize their guidance to people with little knowledge of HTML . Users can start their projects from scratch or take any of the available templates.

Once

completes the design, users can publish the result on the web with one click , and then share the result with a custom URL.

Additionally, Mozilla has improved the design of your site Webmaker.org, where users can find other related projects as Popcorn Thimble-one video authoring environment-or X-Ray Googles-a tool Easy to inspect elements of web sites. The cornerstone of this suite is nonetheless Thimble could become an extremely valuable resource for anyone who wants to enter the world of web design.

Cryptsetup, encrypts your external USB drives easily

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”41″>

Cryptsetup utility provides a simple way to encrypt our external storage units , which normally connect through USB port, protecting the units so that even if we lose the data that we stored can not be decrypted by any onlookers.

cryptsetup Cryptsetup 500x230, encrypts your external USB drives easily

to use it, as shown in HowToGeek, simply install the tool, which in Ubuntu is done with the simple command : 

 sudo apt-get install cryptsetup

after which we can verify the operation of the utility, which works closely with the Ubuntu disk utility , we can launch from the Dash to Ubuntu. If we did not have enough installed to install the package gnome -disk-utility .

the original article shows the different steps, which basically explains that have to format the drive again , so it should pass the data we had on the drive or partition to another device hard disk, with a special format that will encrypt the partition that you indicate and will allow you to access it only through a password we set during the process.

Unfortunately

unit may not be used on other computers that do not have the GNOME desktop available because the technology uses LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup), but if that does not concern you, Cryptsetup can be a valuable guarantee to protect our external storage drives.

Get Linux distros or how to download easily from Windows

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”37″>

its developers say, Get Linux is a download client for Windows that interacts with a number of servers to provide the download from over 100 Linux distributions .

500x281 getlinux1 Get Linux distros or how to download easily from Windows

This saves users having to be going to the download Web pages every distro, and centralizes all these efforts on a client where you simply choose the distribution download the install we feel like our machine , but can that really recent versions have to go to the original page.

Each distribution present in this customer has a thumbnail image or links to more information that lead us to Distrowatch and even videos of the distribution in action on YouTube .

The interface and operation and client options are still somewhat green, but is an interesting idea to help those downloads. I do not understand is how the developer has not released a Linux version , but yes, the source code is available.

problem is that the client requires Microsoft Windows. NET Framework 3.5 , and that’s probably a bit complicated the issue of preparing functional packages for Linux distributions.

Integra Meld in gedit, compare files easily

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”43″>

January 20, 2011 – by techy

3 comments

Meld is a great tool to compare files and look for differences between two versions of the same file, but can only be used for that and it is especially true for direct programming. On the other hand, gedit is a great text editor that can also program but do not have the ability to compare files, so … Why not unite the two?


is what we have in WebUpd8, which indicate a simple way to integrate Meld in gedit but not exactly in a direct : I can not have a direct functional comparison in gedit, but we can compare the file in gedit we are seeing with another file that will open in Meld.

For this purpose we have installed both Meld as Zenity : 

 sudo apt-get install meld zenity

gedit have to go to Edit -> Preferences and the tab will have to enable plugins plugin External tools “(” External Tools ” .) There will have to click “Configure Plugin ” (“Configure Plugin”), add a new external tool (the button “+”), give any name (for example, “Compare with Meld” ), and if we want to set a keyboard shortcut. Finally, before finishing, we can write the following under the “ Edit “:

 # / bin / sh$  meld GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR / $  GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME `zenity - file-selection - title =" File for comparsion "- filename = / home /` &

Thus when you press the keyboard shortcut set by us or go to Tools -> External Tools -> Compare with Meld will open a window asking Zenity the file you want to compare with we are seeing in gedit.

Good

trick , right?
