I wonder if I should write the "New Frugalware developer" + announcement in advance? :)</p> + + <h4>Frugalware GNOME Shell theme</h4> + + <p>Frugalware developers Devil505 and bouleetbil worked together to create + a GNOME Shell theme which features the Orta theme and the default + wallpaper for Frugalware release 1.5. The result looks great and is + certainly different to the rather plain default theme. The Linux news web + site LXnews.org <a href= + "http://lxnews.org/2011/05/02/frugalware-gnome-shell-theme/">featured</a> + the theme on 3 May 2011. It was also mentioned on <a href= + "http://linuxoutlaws.com/podcast/205">episode 205</a> of the Linux Outlaws + podcast.</p> + + <h4>EFI support enabled in the kernel</h4> + + <p>Support for EFI was recently enabled in the Linux kernel of 'current' by + developer ryuo. He kindly agreed to provide an explanation of EFI for the + newsletter and here it is:</p> + + <p>Newer laptops, netbooks, desktops, and other systems using x86 and/or + x86_64 motherboards are beginning to come with EFI/UEFI support. This + support in the kernel is critical for booting. These systems cannot boot + without this support. Although they have legacy support for the old MBR + booting, it may eventually be unavailable.</p> + + <p>EFI/UEFI has a master boot manager that is maintained in the hardware. + This eliminates the need for using GRUB for having a multiboot setup. + Under MBR, this was one of the few ways to multiboot. You had to use a + specific software implementation. Under EFI/UEFI, GRUB can be reduced to + booting only linux. Windows 7 64 bit has its own EFI/UEFI bootloader, so + you no longer need GRUB to multiboot with it.</p> + + <p>EFI/UEFI still works with the MS DOS partition table, but it is best to + use it with GPT partition table. Windows 7 will only use EFI if GPT is in + use. Switching to GPT also allows partitions to be created of beyond 2 TB. + And, GPT does away with primary/extended partitions and leaves you with a + flat limit of 128 partitions.</p> + + <h4>Thanks for your bug reports</h4> + + <p>Thankyou to everyone who reports bugs in the Frugalware Bug Tracker + System (BTS). Without these reports we wouldn't know that these problems + exist and so not be able to fix them. Even better is the fact that it's + not just a few people reporting bugs but different people. It's great to + see "new" names appearing because it confirms that Frugalware is useful to + so many people. If you find a problem then please report it in the BTS but + before doing so, please read <a href= + "http://frugalware.org/docs/stable/bugs.html">Frugalware Bug Reporting + HowTo</a>. For an example of a good bug report, search for any submitted by + user Feherke because he/she provides very good information with every bug + they report.</p> + + <h4>Newsletter is no longer being translated</h4> + + <p>I had been hoping that the translation of the past few newsletter + issues into French and Danish might simply have been delayed but it's time + to be honest. These translations are no longer being done so I have removed + mention of them from the bottom of the newsletter. Thanks to those who + provided the translation of past issues and of course if someone starts + translation I'd be very happy to announce it here.</p> + + + <br /> + <div class="postheader">New Packages</div> + <img class="face" src="/images/newsletter/package-new.png" width="85" height="85" alt="" /><br /> + + <p>This section of the newsletter features packages which have been added + since the previous issue.</p> + + <table rules="all" width="80%" frame="border" cellspacing="0" cellpadding= + "4"> + <col width="33%"> + <col width="33%"> + <col width="33%"> + + <thead> + <tr> + <th align="left" valign="top">Package</th> + + <th align="left" valign="top">Description</th> + + <th align="left" valign="top">Maintainer</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">frandom-1.0</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">A RNG that is faster than /dev/urandom.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">James Buren</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">marlin-20110416</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">The sexiest fish in the large sea of file-browsers. an elementary Team project.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Devil505</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">jumanji-20110423</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Highly customizable and functional web browser based on the libwebkit web content engine and the GTK+ toolkit.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Devil505</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">stockfish-2.0.1</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">An open-source UCI chess engine.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Elentir</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">dreampie-1.1.1</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Graphical and cross-platform interactive Python shell</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Pingax</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">luminance-hdr-2.0.2</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">An open source graphical user interface application that aims to provide a workflow for HDR imaging.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Melko</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">gptfdisk-0.7.1</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">A clone of fdisk that works on GPT disks instead of MBR disks.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">James Buren</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">calibre-0.7.59</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Ebook management application</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Melko</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">conkygui-1.3.1</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Conky GUI aims to quicken the customization of Conky files.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">kikadf</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">mjm-1.1</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">mjm makes jwm's menu from many (freedesktop) desktop files automatically.</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">kikadf</p> + </td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">gource-0.34_rc2</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Tool to visualize, in 3D, SCM logs</p> + </td> + + <td align="left" valign="top"> + <p class="table">Pingax</p> + </td> + </tr> + </tbody> + </table> + + <br /> + <div class="postheader">Tips and Tricks</div> + <img class="face" src="/images/newsletter/terminal.png" width="85" height="85" alt=""><br> + + <h4>Skeleton files</h4> + + <p>When a new user is created on Linux, the contents of the <pre>/etc/skel + </pre> directory are copied to the users' home page. This allows the + computer's administrator to specify configuration settings and/or have + folders already available when the user first logs on. For anyone who <b>is + </b> the administrator in their home ( :D ) you might use this option, for + example, to encourage everyone to store files by type in specific folders: + Videos, Photos, Downloads for example. To do this you create directories of + the required names in /etc/skel (as user 'root'). Note that this applies + <em>only</em> to newly created users, not existing users.</p> + + <h4>System information script</h4> + + <p>Some time ago, Frugalware developer Devil505 and Frugalware user Aptano + modified a Perl script which presents information about the GUI + environment on the console. A great feature of this is that as well as the + system information it displays the Frugalware logo in ASCII art. This + works well when you combine it with a desktop screenshot because it + clearly identifies the distribution. Look at Botchchikii's screenshot in + the Users' Desktop Screenshots section below to see an example of the + script's output. To get a copy of the script itself, go to <a href= + "http://blog.glag.la/article2/capture-decran-sous-frugalware">this</a> + page.</p> + + <h4>Checking for outdated packages</h4> + + <p>In the previous newsletter issue I gave a link to a web page which + listed all packages for which we know there are updated versions upstream + - i.e. at the packages' home site. What I didn't explain was that this + link appears at the bottom of the "Packages Search" web page. It was added + so that if you you looking for a later version of a package, you could + quickly confirm if we knew that a later version was available. For many + reasons, some packages are not updated so if you find that if a package + you want upgraded is not upgraded, perhaps raise a Feature Request in the + Frugalware <a href="http://bugs.frugalware.org/">Bug Tracker System </a>, + including a brief, reasonable explanation. Everyone on the development + team is busy, so a reason why you want the package upgraded helps them + prioritise your request.</p> + + + <h4>Do you have any tips or tricks to share?</h4> + + <p>This section relies on your contributions! If you have some tips and + tricks that you would like to share, <em>please</em> post them on the forums + or the comments section below.</p> + + <br /> + <div class="postheader">Focus on Packages</div> + <img class="face" src="/images/newsletter/package-new.png" width="85" height="85" alt=""><br> + + <h4>Quod Libet</h4> + + <p>I'm sorry to feature another audio player after featuring Pogo in the + most recent newsletter but I couldn't help myself. :) Quod Libet is a + full-featured audio player developed in Python and uses the GStreamer + framework. For anyone who is looking for an alternative to players such as + Banshee, Rhythmbox or Amarok, Quod Libet could be just what you're looking + for.</p> + + <p>Its features include:</p> + <ul> + <li>Album art;</li> + <li>Track ratings;</li> + <li>Internet radio;</li> + <li>Numerous plugins including Scrobbling support, Tray Icon, Alarm Clock + and Lullaby.</li> + </ul> + + <p>Quod Libet makes it very easy to play your music in the way you want. It + offers many different ways to browse or search your music and assemble a + playlist. If you need to correct your music's tags you can do this easily on + either individual files or several files at once. Tag editing even includes + some common built-in functions including replacing underscores with spaces, + removing characters which are incompatible with Windows and removing + non-ASCII characters.</p> + + <p>One quite interesting feature is its Tray Icon plugin. Of course most + audio players provide system tray support so that you can continue listening + to a playlist without the player's window cluttering your desktop. Quod + Libet's tray icon is better than most though because, with the mouse + cursor over the icon, scrolling the mouse's wheel will change volume and + holding down the Shift key and scrolling the wheel will change track. As + with other music players, you can also right-click on the icon and get more + functions.</p> + + <p>Even if you're currently using a music player, try Quod Libet because it + offers a great range of features while still being very easy to use.</p> + + <a id="imagebox" href= + "http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/issue79_quodlibet.png" title + ="Screenshot of QuodLibet audio media player"><img src= + "http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/issue79_quodlibet_t.png" alt + ="Screenshot of QuodLibet audio media player"></a> + + + <br /> + <div class="postheader">Users' Desktop Screenshots</div> + <img class="face" src="/images/newsletter/desktop.png" width="85" height="85" alt=""><br> + + <p>This new section of the newsletter features screenshots of users' desktop + configurations.
