We still Songbird on Linux: Nightingale 1.12

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”48″>

is odd that I remember in The H Open that came out a few days ago the new version of Nightingale, when I’m testing the same version for the same. But it has, and I must say that not bad this player , I’ve been groping as an alternative to Amarok / Clementine in Ubuntu.

nightningale one 500x322Seguimos taking Songbird on Linux: 1.12 Nightingale

While Nightingale

not look too much into KDE this new version improves support for Unity and GNOME 3 , system notifications and sound menu system tray both desktops. Also, 1.12 Nightingale launches a plug-in that integrates SoundCloud.

Remember

Nightingale is a fork of Songbird, developers emerged when the latter decided to leave the Linux version to focus on versions for Windows and Mac OS X. It’s a pretty complete player, based on the same technologies of Firefox , sharing with the additions or features like the ability to browse without leaving the application.

If you fancy trying

Nightingale 1.12 , at its download page you will find packages that unzip and run the binary spare, plus a PPA repository for Ubuntu and derivatives Source code and installers for Windows and Mac OS X (also in AUR!).

I’ve tried this version, you could get many small and not so small flaws, but, for once, I’ll good : not sleazy visually supplements I installed work well and does not suck as much memory as expected. A pleasant surprise, with gaps.

DistroRank says that Ubuntu is still the most popular

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”51″>

You know that the statistics on the use of GNU / Linux have to catch them all with tweezers, and no better example of this than the figures offered DistroWatch, a site that directs major based distros to search on their page. Without wishing to detract from its value to DistroWatch, their statistics serve as timely curiosity, nothing more. And here comes into play DistroRank.

500x302 ubu DistroRank says Ubuntu is still the most popular

As we discovered in

Ostatic, recently has been born a new site that aims to specialize in measuring the use of GNU / Linux, DistroRank, each week presents the results of its findings both GNU / Linux to BSD . What how? As they explain (including method), the factors that enter into the calculation are:

Number of results in major search engines
Number of news published on the distro

Percentage

indicating server are running the distro

Percentage

desktop users who are using the distro report

you are (home, work, or both), you use the distribution and additionally if they like, a comment. With all that data, each bit is updated list , which is actually not one but two, which includes only the votes of visitors and makes the mean with all data (the latter is considered more reliable).

Now I see apetecerá latest results . We start with the user ranking (published yesterday).

The truth is that I could not find information about the actual number of users who voted , which would be an important detail to know. At the same time, mixing it in a list at home and business users, desktops and servers … Well, the same thing will happen in DistroWatch, right?

Wayland 1.0 available, but there is still some way to go

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

for months been talking about this alternative to traditional X11 windowing system, and although its advantages are remarkable both for users and for developers, there are still many points to be resolved. And that has just announced the availability of Wayland 1.0 (and its window manager, Weston).

1 0 Wayland Wayland 1.0 available, but there is still some way to go

is because as indicated on Phoronix, the creator of Wayland Wayland explained that Kristian Høgsberg 1.0 “ simply defines the point at which developers can Wayland sure no backward compatibility with the Wayland-based protocol and its API “.

So we have a version particularly relevant Developer , but not as crucial for end users: it will take even see Wayland in action in any standard distribution, and in fact the list points to be solved is important, as revealed in the original article.

Phoronix

believe that although there may be attempts to integrate Wayland in Ubuntu 13.04, and that support this integration will not be realized until Ubuntu 13.10 , which only appear within a year. Other distributions like Fedora will also demonstrate the experimental possibilities of this system of windows, but again we are left with this message: way to go.

Firefox still has much to say

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”53″>Firefox and Mozilla

have made headlines in recent days for various reasons, not all good. Without going any further, we saw appear yesterday its latest version, which is good, a few days ago the situation was more revolt, which is not good. But all is well now . Let’s see why this is so.

firefox Firefox still has much to say

First, the gray clouds have dissipated on Mozilla at the moment because its agreement with Google, which meant far more than 80% of the income of the Foundation, has renewed for another three years , as reported yesterday MuyComputer our colleagues. This is not to say that since Mozilla is not the batteries they will continue to raise funds by other parties.

Thus, an economic resolving the problem at least for now, what about what really matters? That is, Firefox has something to do against this whirlwind called Google Chrome, the classic but always at the forefront or the renovated Opera Internet Explorer 9? Well, again according to our fellow MuyComputer fox fire remains one of the best applications of its kind (the comparison is of ZDNet, but anyone can do it on your own).

Of course, this is referring only to test JavaScript, which can serve as an indicator but not everything. Still, Firefox 9 is second only to Google Chrome 15 , leaving behind 11.60 Opera, Internet Explorer 9 and Safari 5.

that Firefox is not dead, was on a spree, and has slept it off and was awakened eager to make war. Now it .
