  Summary:

  • The community continues to strongly support the distribution. 88 people donated money in June for a total of $2402.
  • The amount of money received from our sponsors grew to $498.5.
  • All indicators show that the release of Linux Mint 7 created a boom in the size of our user base and that its growth is now getting back to normal.
  • On Distrowatch, Linux Mint is slowly loosing its popularity as the novelty factor isn’t there anymore and the news related to the distribution aren’t relayed in the press and on Linux related websites. Linux Mint isn’t new anymore, but it isn’t as established as other distributions yet and de facto not considered a “major” within the Linux community even though the size of its user base can in times be as much as two to three times larger than the ones of projects like SUSE, Fedora or Mandriva.
  • The Overall income is up 29%, and June 2009 was the (4th consecutive) best month ever since the start of the distribution.
  • In brief: Finances have never been so good, Linux Mint sits in a very comfortable position on the Linux home desktop market second only to Ubuntu, its user base continues to grow but the distribution needs to engage in marketing, ads and/or promotion campaigns to get the attention of the medias. Now that Linux Mint is known to most Linux users and that it gathers the second biggest share on the market, it needs to get itself known to others and to compete with other desktops such as Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS.

  X-Bus – a daemon for input devices

   » ‎ Alberto Milone

  What is X-Bus?

  It’s a personal project I’ve been working on (among other things) since I joined Canonical. It’s a daemon which handles input devices through the XInput protocol. In the future I hope to add support for outputs too.

  What’s the purpose of X-Bus?

  Its main purpose is to provide developers with a common (and simplified) way to access XInput from languages which have DBus bindings (Python, Ruby, C, C++, Java, Perl, etc.). It is not specific to any desktop environment, even though it uses C++ and QT4 (see below).

  Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc. applications which make use of the same backend with different frontends (as opposed to having different backends and frontends)?

  Current features:

  • Exposes XInput (listing/setting properties, catching signals, etc.) through Dbus with a simplified API.
  • Stores the (per-user) current inputs configuration in an XML file and applies it at startup or when requested.
  • Emits signals (through Dbus) when new devices are plugged in or unplugged (so that, for example your client application can refresh its UI to reflect the new situation).
  • Tracks keyboard activity so as to disable your touchpad when you’re typing.

  It’s an attempt to combine the features in syndaemon and xinput (the command line tool), from both of which X-Bus borrows code.

  3 examples of what X-Bus can be used for:

  • User interfaces to configure touchpads (which is the 1st thing I would like to work on).
  • User interfaces to configure touchscreens whose drivers support XInput (I still need to expose the calibration functions provided by XInput though).
  • Automatic rotation of your touchpad (figuratively speaking) when your screen is rotated (after this is implemented).

  Why QT?

  Because of its DBus and XML modules and because it’s a pleasure to work with QT in general.

  Example: if you add the Q_SCRIPTABLE macro to the function in the header file, this function will be made available in your DBus interface. This applies to signals too. This makes maintenance a lot easier.

  In my opinion it would be overkill to use the DBus low-level API and I don’t think the glib (DBus) bindings can offer what I described in the example (feel free to prove me wrong on this). Furthermore I would have to use an external xml module to perform validation and the things that I currently do with the xml file.

  Doesn’t it duplicate efforts? Why don’t you work on $INSERT_DAEMON_HERE instead?

  Yes, it does (partially) but my point is: can we use $INSERT_DAEMON_HERE on KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc. ?

  Furthermore, if you have a look at X-Bus’ API you’ll see that (currently) there’s very little duplication.

  Where’s the code?

  Source code (have a look at the examples which are written in Python)
  Packages

  NOTE: this is just a first release and users won’t benefit from it without a user interface (unless they want to edit the xml file manually).

  Les Boards Warez : Destinations estivales

   » ‎ Linux Manua (fr)
  
  
  A la découverte des îles du Warez
  
  
  Les boards Warez sont des communautés organisées en forum dans lesquelles les membres échangent leur liens vers des films, en général protégés par des droits d'auteurs. Pas de films de vacances donc.
  
  Ces films, eux, sont souvent stockés sur des serveurs à l'étranger. Les grands sites de stockage (type Megaupload) sont aussi massivement utilisés.
  
  L'inscription y est généralement gratuite et rapide. L'ambiance y est conviviale et l'état d'esprit est orienté vers le partage.
  
  En complément, vous pouvez aussi lire, sur ce sujet, le reportage de 2006 de ZATAZ.

  Les îles Warez et les barbares hadopiens
  
  
  Bien entendu, l'activité dans ces lieux est totalement illégale. Cependant, Bruel et Arditi et compagnie peuvent dormir tranquille : Ils ne trouveront pas leurs films sur ces forums Warez. En effet, ces derniers ne s'intéressent pas aux grosses daubes.
  
  Les Boards français sont régulièrement attaqués par une tribu de barbares cupides, dépassés et dégénérés à cause d'une trop grande consanguinité : les Hadopiens. A leur tête : Un Nain jusqu'au boutiste.
  Cet été, c'est l'île de Wawa Mania qui est victime de ces raids organisés par ces sauvages nuisibles, experts en kidnapping et en racket.
  
  Mais les indigènes habitant ces îles merveilleuses, dans ces contrées lointaines, sont certains que le temps leur apportera la victoire et résument la situation avec philosophie : "1 site fermé, 10 ouverts"

  Small improvements on the website

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  Reviews and interviews related to Linux Mint are now tracked on the website: [www.linuxmint.com]

  A list of download mirrors was published and we’re also starting to mirror the repositories. There was a period of downtime a few days ago and while our server was down we were unable to provide users with an alternative way of contacting our repositories. We’re hoping to solve this issue by providing users with repositories mirrors and a list kept up to date at the following address: [www.linuxmint.com]

  Finally, the screenshots were updated to show Linux Mint 7 and changes were made to the donors and sponsors pages to better explain why we need donations, what sponsoring is, and how it works.

  Linux Mint 7 x64 wydany!

   » ‎ linuxmint.pl (pl)
  Zespół z dumą ogłasza wydanie Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" x64. Wprowadzenie do systemu Linux Mint 7 x64: Wydanie x64 jest niemal identyczne jak Main Edition ale skompilowane dla 64-bitowych procesorów (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, AMD Athlon X2 64 i inne zgodne). Zawiera wszelkie ulepszenia jakie zawarte są w Linux Mint 7 Gloria Main Edition. Wymagania systemowe:Dla x86_64 64 bitowych procesorów (Intel Core 2, AMD X2 64, itp ...).
  
  Wymagane jest co najmniej 512 MB pamięci RAM. Po zainstalowaniu systemu działa poprawnie już z 256MB RAM. Pliki instalacji zajmują około 2.5GB danych skompresowanych na 700MB płycie CD. Podczas instalacji systemu z mniejszą ilością pamięci RAM niż 512MB może nastąpić zawieszenie i być może będziesz musiał(a) spróbować instalowania systemu kilka razy. Szybki sposób cieszenia się z nowej wersji x64:
  

  • Pobierz obraz ISO bezpośrednio ze strony lub za pomocą klienta torrent.
  • Podczas pobierania zapoznaj się z materiałami wideo i przyjrzyj się nowym funkcją w systemie Linux Mint 7. Zapoznaj się z Podręcznikiem Użytkownika aby szybko uporać się ze znanymi problemami.
  • Po pobraniu pliku ISO sprawdź czy zgadzają się sumy MD5 (tak jak opisano w instrukcji obsługi).
  • Wypal ISO wybierając niską prędkość nagrywania i zacznij się cieszyć z testowania nowej wersji Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1.

  Możesz pobrać Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1 wybierając menu pobieranie.

   » ‎ Mint-Italia

  E’ stata rilasciata, a distanza di un mese dalla Main Edition, la versione stabile di LinuxMint 7 “Gloria” in versione per architetture a 64 bit (con processori Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, AMD Athlon X2 64 etc.).

  Qui il link per scaricare la iso, qui quello per il torrent; qui l’annuncio ufficiale.

  Vale tutto quanto scritto riguardo al rilascio di Gloria Main Edition, compresa la procedura per l’upgrade dalla RC1 (ovvero lanciare mintUpdate, abilitare l’opzione “dist-updgrade” e installare tutti gli aggiornamenti di livello 1 e 2).

  Prossimamente un tutorial per l’aggiornamento da Felicia a Gloria.

  Linux Mint 7 x64 released!

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 7 “Gloria” x64.

  

  Quick steps:

  • Download the ISO or the torrent.
  • While it’s downloading look at the videos and the overview of the new features in Linux Mint 7, read the User Guide and make sure to quickly go through the known issues.
  • After the ISO is downloaded verify the MD5 (as described in the user guide).
  • Burn the ISO at low speed and enjoy Linux Mint 7 x64.

  Introduction to Linux Mint 7 x64:

  This x64 edition of Linux Mint 7 is almost identical to the Main Edition but compiled for 64 bit processors (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, AMD Athlon X2 64 and all x86-64 compliant processors). It comes with all the improvements featured in Linux Mint 7 Gloria Main Edition.

  System requirements:

  An X86_64 64 bit processor (Intel Core 2, AMD X2 64, etc…) .

  A minimum of 512MB of RAM is recommended. Once installed the system works fine with as low as 256MB RAM. The installation process deals with 2.5GB of data compressed on a 700MB CD and it can hang or fail on systems with less than 512MB RAM. If you have between 256MB and 512MB RAM you may have to try to install several times.

  Important information and known issues:

  For a complete list of known issues read the Release Notes.

  The root password is now set as the same as the one chosen during the installation. A blog post will follow to explain why and how this was implemented.

  If you’re using Mint tools in other distributions, make sure to turn off the adjustment system by editing /etc/linuxmint/mintSystem.conf.

  Mint 7 Review: tech-no-media

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  Gloria was reviewed by Erlik from tech-no-media:

  [www.tech-no-media.com]

  Happy reading everyone.

  Comments:

  Erlik wrote: “after about a minute I am in front of a very nicely designed login prompt with a 10 second countdown to login. Maybe they should have made the CD autologin faster, as the wait could worry newbies.”

  –> This autologin usually happens fast and in the background so most people don’t see it. On slower machines the login process isn’t fast enough and GDM has enough time for you to see the prompt. It’s a minor annoyance that we should get fixed upstream.

  Erlik wrote: “No network connection however. I have a look in the start menu for help: the menu is very Windows like and the control center easily accessible. The hardware driver applet tells me that I will need to download a legacy driver for my Broadcom wireless adapter.I am not too surprised as I know from my old Mint 3.0 installation that this adapter is badly supported on Linux.”

  –> Broadcom wireless chipsets have always been troublesome. The Hardware Drivers application is designed to pop up 60 seconds after you’ve logged in. It’s an upstream application so I’d have to check in the code to make sure it’s designed to start automatically on the live session as well.

  Erlik wrote: “There is a welcome screen waiting for me: I am offered the option to see the new features of Linux Mint 7.0, download a pdf manual or visit the Linux Mint forums. These are very good starting points for users new to Linux.”

  –> We got some feedback from a review made on Linux Mint 6. The review was extremely positive but the reviewer was confused by mintAssistant and found it disturbing to be asked about a root password and the activation of fortunes in the terminal. He had a point and we decided to throw mintAssistant in the bin and to start with a new application. MintWelcome doesn’t try to mix everything, it just welcomes new users. A lot of people were unaware of the User Guide, the Release Notes or even the new features so such an application was needed. As for the root password and the fortunes in the terminal, they had to be implemented in a different way. Fortunes are activated by default and we’re planning to patch the Ubiquity installer in the future to ask the user whether to disable them or not (probably in the “advanced” section, or in a new “options” section). The root password is activated by default and set to be the same as your own password. For this as well we’re thinking of patching the Ubiquity installer.

  Erlik wrote: “There is also a message appearing on the screen to tell me that a new restricted driver is available.The driver applet is also present in the system tray, just where a Windows user would expect to find it. I click on this driver applet and the missing wireless driver is flagged for my attention. I click activate, enter my password and the missing driver is installed automatically. I enter my wireless access point name, disable and enable networking and then I am connected through Wifi: all my hardware works! I tried to suspend and wake up the machine and this worked flawlessly too.”

  –> Credits go to Ubuntu on this one. They designed the hardware drivers application and made it extremely easy for people with exotic hardware to get the proper drivers installed on their machine.

  Erlik wrote: “The first thing that strikes you when starting Linux Mint 7.0 is how the design is polished. Not only is the theme and wallpaper superb, but everything seems to be just where someone straight out of the Windows world would expect it to be. Although this is no Windows copycat, it is much easier to get used to immediately than Ubuntu.”

  –> The look and feel was built around a popular theme called “Shiki” and the “Mint Dew” wallpaper made by Zwopper one of the artists from the Linux Mint community. There is no intent to make Linux Mint look like Windows but we also use ideas and copy them from other operating systems when they seem good to us, no matter where they come from. Ease of use is important to us and I think it’s important to Ubuntu as well. In my opinion, both distributions make an easier desktop to use and maintain than Microsoft Windows.

  Erlik wrote: “One thing that is very different from Ubuntu is the start menu: it looks like an improved version of Windows start menu. On the left pane you have shortcuts to important places like your home folder, the software installation applet, control center, command line (terminal) and quit button. On the right pane you have either your favorite applications or a start menu. This is a good design decision, as it allows users that just want to surf, email and play music to do that without having to search for the proper application, but at the same time all the other applications are only a button away.”

  –> The concept behind the Linux Mint menu is for the user to be able to perform as many tasks as possible (both simple and advanced) in the most confortable and trivial ways. It’s not only geared towards novice users but also towards experienced ones. From the menu you can launch applications of course but you can also remove them, search for or install new ones, set them to run automatically when you log in… etc. Initially mintMenu was a fork of a project called USP which itself was inspired by SUSE’s Slab menu. Windows also has an advanced menu, particularly since the release of Vista, and although it shares similar features with mintMenu (filtering for instance) it’s extremely different in both its layout, what it lets the user achieve and how one can interact with it.

  Erlik wrote: “Given how good Linux Mint is why would you install anything else? Well, there are a few caveat. First Linux Mint does not have a big support corporation behind it like Ubuntu. This means that it is more difficult to purchase paid support and that there is no software shop where you can purchase commercial applications like PowerDVD for Linux.”

  –> This is very true. In brief, Linux Mint is still a very small project and it lacks the resources and structure necessary to offer adequate paid support. In comparison to Ubuntu, Linux Mint cannot support big corporations. We also recently stopped to offer paid support to small companies and individuals as our current structure wasn’t fitted for this activity and we could not guarantee satisfying response times.

  Erlik wrote: “The second point is that there is no “one click upgrade” option right now, although I think that the Mint developers are working on a solution for that.”

  –> Well, I both agree and disagree on this. First, let me agree on the fact that upgrading Ubuntu isn’t only easy it’s actually trivial. Upgrading Linux Mint is easy as well, we’ve got a graphical upgrader for that, and although it goes through a few more steps than its Ubuntu equivalent, it does the job. What’s important though, is that upgrading a system like Ubuntu or Linux Mint is risky and that users who aren’t experienced with APT, Xorg, kernel modules and so on can end up with a broken system that they’re unable to fix. In that regard both Ubuntu and Linux Mint need to work on the issue as it’s not enough to make the upgrade path easy, the risk has to be communicated to the user and proper workarounds, restoration paths, “plan B”s, or whatever will make this operation 100% safe will have to be implemented.

  Erlik wrote: “The Final point is that the inclusion of multimedia codecs in the main edition could bring some users into legal a gray area in some countries, however a version of Mint without the codecs, the universal edition, is also available for those users.”

  –> The choice is made by the user at download time instead of post-installation as it is the case in Ubuntu.

  Erlik wrote: “If Linux Mint continues to provide such high quality releases I may well switch back from Ubuntu by the time of the next Long Term Support release.”

  –> We’ll sure try

  Téléchargement : Passez à la vitesse supérieure

   » ‎ Linux Manua (fr)
  
  Un tiers des internautes partageurs utiliseraient encore principalement Emule et compagnies pour s'échanger leurs fichiers. Cet article, sponsorisé par HADOPI (Haute Autorité pour le Développement Optimal du Piratage sur Internet) a été rédigé pour eux.
  
  
  Si le temps est important pour vous,
  Passez d'Emule au BitTorrent
  
  
  En effet, Emule est lent. Attendre, pendant 3 jours, la fin du téléchargement d'un fichier, accroit aussi le risque de recevoir, sur un malentendu, dans 10 ans, un email de la future HADOPI qui vous menacera de vous envoyer un deuxième email si vous ne passez pas immédiatement sur des solutions sécurisées de téléchargement (cf. 10 antidotes anti-hadopi).
  
  Le protocole BitTorrent vous permet de télécharger plusieurs fichiers en moins d'une heure, même si cette solution, comme Emule, ne garantit pas l'anonymat.
  
  
  
  1) Stand Technique : Comment utiliser le Torrent ?
  
  Je ne vais pas vous faire un nième guide sur ce sujet, il en existe déjà des dizaines sur le Web. Vous en trouverez quelques uns ci-dessous :
  
  Infos générales sur Wikipédia : BitTorrent
  
  Explications rapides en 2 mn + Tuto : >Ici
  
  Explications complètes en 15 mn + Tuto : Le guide complet
  
  Autres liens avec explications : >Ici, >Ici, et pour Mac
  
  
  
  2) Choisissez votre bolide
  
  
  Vous l'avez compris, lors de votre passage au stand technique : il faut installer un client BitTorrent qui est un petit programme gratuit vous permettant d'effectuer ces téléchargements.
  
  Voici la liste des logiciels les plus populaires : >Ici
  
  Alors que choisir ? Ce n'est que mon avis mais je vous conseille les programmes suivants :
  
  

  • µTorrent (Mac OS, Windows)
  • Transmission (Linux, Mac OS)
  • Deluge (Linux, Mac OS, Windows)
  • Vuze / Azureus (Linux, Mac OS, Windows)
  • Bitcomet (Windows)

  
  Téléchargement : >Ici
  
  Si vous téléchargez peu, vous pouvez simplement vous contenter de l'extension Firefox FireTorrent.
  
  N'hésitez pas à laisser un commentaire en bas de l'article si vous souhaitez décrire les avantages/inconvénients de celui que vous utilisez.
  
  
  
  3) Connaissez les codes pour éviter de tourner en rond
  
  
  Avant de passer à l'étape suivante, il est indispensable de connaître la signification de quelques mots clefs qui vous aideront dans votre recherche. L'intégralité des codes se trouvent sur Wikipédia. Voici les plus connus :
  
  

  • DVDRIP : il s'agit d'une copie de DVD la plupart du temps au format MPEG4 ou XviD (extension de type .avi). La qualité est la meilleure.

  
  

  • VO/VOST/VOSTFr : Ces termes ne sont attribués que pour les films ; VO signifie « Version Originale », VOST signifie « Version Originale Sous-Titrée » (dans la même langue que l'audio) et VOSTFr est la « Version Originale Sous-Titrée en français ».

  
  

  • FR/French : Langue française

  
  
  Exemples :
  
  

  • pour télécharger le film "Home", mis gratuitement en téléchargement sur Internet, tapez dans le moteur de recherche (Cf. étape 3) : "Home FR"

  • pour les adeptes de la série télévisée américaine sur les fameuses femmes désespérées au foyer, et qui désespèrent, eux-aussi, de ne pouvoir regarder la saison n°5, uniquement diffusée aux Etats-Unis, utilisez le code "VOSTFR".

  
  
  
  4) Faîtes le plein de fichiers avec les annuaires et les trackers de torrents
  
  
  Il en existe des centaines. N'hésitez pas à laisser un commentaire en bas de l'article si vous souhaitez signaler celui que vous utilisez. Vous en trouverez ci-dessous quelques-uns.
  
  J'utilise principalement les 4 premiers de cette liste :
  
  
  Isohunt
  
  
  Mininova
  
  J'ai hésité à vous signaler Mininova. En effet, il est connu et excellent mais il commence à filtrer les contenus. A suivre donc.
  
  
  
  TorrentSee
  
  
  The Pirate Bay
  
  
  Torrentz
  
  
  Google
  
  Il s'agit effectivement du moteur de recherche Google, néanmoins légèrement customisé pour rechercher des liens torrents.
  
  
  
  The Pirate Google
  
  Même principe que le précédent, en un peu plus customisé.
  
  
  
  Torrent-finder
  
  La force de Torrent Finder est de rassembler près de 180 différents trackers et sites de torrent pour vous donner le maximum de chances de trouver les fichiers que vous cherchez.
  
  Vous pouvez également installer ce moteur de recherche directement dans la liste des moteurs de recherche de votre navigateur (Firefox ou IE7) ou installer l'extension Torrent Finder Firefox Toolbar
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Pour rappel, sauf si vous en avez rien à taper : la loi sur le droit d'auteur interdit l'exploitation et le téléchargement d'une œuvre sans l'autorisation de ses ayants-droit sauf si vous possédez le DVD original, ce qui est bien entendu le cas de tous les lecteurs de ce Blog.

  Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1 released!

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 7 x64 Gloria RC1.

  

  Quick steps:

  • Download the ISO or the torrent.
  • While it’s downloading look at the videos and the overview of the new features in Linux Mint 7, read the User Guide and make sure to quickly go through the known issues.
  • After the ISO is downloaded verify the MD5 (as described in the user guide).
  • Burn the ISO at low speed and enjoy testing Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1.
  • Report bugs on the dedicated forum thread.

  Introduction to Linux Mint 7 x64:

  This x64 edition of Linux Mint 7 is almost identical to the Main Edition but compiled for 64 bit processors (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, AMD Athlon X2 64 and all x86-64 compliant processors). It comes with all the improvements featured in Linux Mint 7 Gloria Main Edition.

  System requirements:

  An X86_64 64 bit processor (Intel Core 2, AMD X2 64, etc…) .

  A minimum of 512MB of RAM is recommended. Once installed the system works fine with as low as 256MB RAM. The installation process deals with 2.5GB of data compressed on a 700MB CD and it can hang or fail on systems with less than 512MB RAM. If you have between 256MB and 512MB RAM you may have to try to install several times.

  Important information and known issues:

  As an RC (Release Candidate) this release is targeted at developers and beta-testers who want to help Linux Mint find and correct bugs before the stable release. Please do not use this release as your main desktop. For a complete list of known issues read the Release Notes.

  The upgrade path from Linux Mint 6 x64 will be finalized for the stable release.

  Feedback and bug reports:

  Please report any bug you may find via the Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1 Bug Thread and give us your feedback on this release by posting a comment right here on the blog.

  Dailymotion : Soyez anonyme et furtif comme un sous-marin en 3 étapes

   » ‎ Linux Manua (fr)
  
  
  Voici comment plonger profond pour trouver la Liberté
  
  
  Comme vous le savez certainement, si vous suiviez récemment l'actualité, une dizaine de nos compatriotes, peut-être davantage, sont convoqués par la police judiciaire suite à des commentaires laissés, il y a 2 ans, sur Dailymotion et Youtube, concernant des vidéos, (notamment celle-ci) dénigrant des politiques.
  
  Parmi les internautes ciblés, Dominique Broueilh, une mère de famille de 49 ans domiciliée à Saint-Paul-lès-Dax, est convoquée au commissariat pour le 11 juin à 16h.
  
  Cette terroriste a eu l'audace d'écrire le commentaire suivant : "Hou la menteuse".
  
  La gravité de l'affront est telle que la Royauté va dépêcher spécialement un policier parisien pour se rendre à Dax afin d'interroger cette terrifiante opposante.
  
  Ce genre d'histoire, de plus en plus fréquente, commence à me gonfler sérieusement. Heureusement, en informatique, il n'y pas de problème sans solution :
  
  Pour les Français qui veulent s'exprimer sur des sujets politiques, sur Dailymotion, sans risquer le Gnouf, voici donc la méthode :
  
  
  
  Etape 1 : Connectez-vous à un serveur proxy
  
  
  Connectez-vous à un serveur proxy web anonyme étranger et gratuit afin de masquer votre adresse IP :
  
  [www.justproxies.net]
  
  
  En haut de la page qui s'affiche, décochez la case "Remove Script".
  
  Dans le champs "Link" mettre : [www.dailymotion.com]
  
  
  
  Etape 2 : Ouvrez un compte anonyme sur Dailymotion
  
  
  Utilisez un nom bidon et une adresse email temporaire de 10 minutes.
  
  Attendez le mail de confirmation d'inscription puis connectez-vous à votre nouveau compte en renouvelant l'étape 1.
  
  
  
  Etape 3 : Écrivez en toute liberté

  HADOPI : Voici les affiches électorales !

   » ‎ Linux Manua (fr)

  Enclosure: [download]

  
  Que celui qui a voté la loi Hadopi lève le doigt ?
  
  Le 12 mai, ils ont voté la loi Hadopi.
  
  Le 7 juin, c'est nous qui votons.
  
  
  Les panneaux d'affichage électoral commencent à apparaître dans les rues donnant ainsi le signal du déclenchement de la phase D du plan ABCDEFUCK.
  
  
  D comme Destituer
  
  
  Je vous invite à être des citoyens modèles c'est à dire non seulement à aller voter mais aussi à participer activement à la belle et courte campagne électorale qui commence :
  
  
  Ils ont leurs affiches électorales.
  
  Nous aurons les nôtres.
  
  
  Voilà les affiches que je vous propose de découper et de coller, en A4, sur les tronches de Cake des candidats dont le parti politique a soutenu le vote de la Loi Hadopi.
  
  
  
  
  Tout afficherTélécharger votre code
  
  On n'a pas fini de les emmerder car, après Hadopi, une nouvelle Loi visant à filtrer le Net est en cours de préparation : LOPPSI2.
  
  Après la Chine avec HADOPI, bientôt La Corée du Nord avec LOPPSI2 ?

  Hallo,
  
  bin neues Forum Mitglied und möchte auch gerne bei Problemlösungen helfen.
  Nun ist mir aufgefallen, dass viele angesprochene Probleme im Forum schon gelöst sind
  aber diese nicht als gelöst gekennzeichnet wurden.
  Man kann anderen viel (Lese-)Arbeit ersparen, wenn man darauf achtet.
  Meine Bitte und Vorschlag: hat man ein beschriebenes Problem inzwischen selber bereinigt oder
  einen hilfreichen Tip von Forumsmitgliedern bekommen, (gelöst) vor seine ehemals gestellte Frage anfügen.
  Wird ja schon oftmals gemacht. Ist also nichts neues. Einfach nur etwas mehr drauf achten.
  Vielen Dank im Voraus.

  Come aggiornare Mint 6 a Mint 7

   » ‎ Mint-Italia

  Traduzione in italiano del procedimento per aggiornare Mint 6 Felicia a Mint 7 Gloria:

  Avvertimenti:

  • Questa descrizione per l’aggiornamento vale solo per sistemi con la Main Edition, da Mint 6 Felicia a Mint 7 Gloria.
  • Non è garantito il funzionamento per tutti i singoli casi. E’ un processo rischioso. Se avete esperienza e siete in grado di individuare e risolvere dei comuni problemi di Linux (in particolare problemi di X11, dei moduli del kernel e di APT), allora siete probabilmente a posto. Se siete dei nuovi utenti è consigliabile che facciate piuttosto un’installazione da zero di Linux Mint 7.
  • E’ bene effettuare un backup prima di fare l’aggiornamento.

  Upgrade da interfaccia grafica (più semplice):

  • Aprire un terminale ed inserire i seguenti comandi: “apt update” e “apt install mintupgrader-felicia-main”
  • Aprire mintMenu ed avviare “Menu->Amministrazione->Upgrade to Linux Mint 7″
  • Seguire le istruzioni. Scegliere le opzioni di default. Ignorare gli errori (in particolare errori di GPG e di gtk2-engines-aurora).

  Upgrade da linea di comando (più veloce, più sicuro):

  Aprire un terminale e digitare i seguenti comandi:

  • gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (Cambiare tutte le ricorrenze di “felicia” in “gloria”, e tutte quelle di “intrepid” in “jaunty” poi salvare e chiudere l’editor)
  • apt update
  • apt remove mintassistant
  • apt install linuxmint-keyring
  • apt update
  • apt install mint-info-main (scegliere “Y” o “I” per installare la versione del mantenitore del pacchetto)
  • apt install mint-meta-main (scegliere “Y” o “I” per installare la versione del mantenitore del pacchetto)

  Nel terminale, ripetere i seguenti comandi finché entambi indicano che non sono più disponibili degli aggiornamenti:

  • apt upgrade
  • apt dist-upgrade

  Poi digitare i seguenti comandi:

  • apt install mint-meta-main
  • sudo rm -rf /boot/gfxmenu/default.message
  • sudo ln -s /boot/gfxmenu/linuxmint.message /boot/gfxmenu/default.message

  Infine, aprire “Finestra di accesso” dal menu (in Amministrazione, ndt), cliccare sul tab “Locale” e scegliere il tema Arc-Wise. (Se dopo il riavvio ottenete un errore riguardo il tema al login, ripetere questo passaggio.)

  Per far sì che GDM riproduca il suono di default di Linux Mint, aprite “Finestra di accesso”, cliccate sul tab “Accessibilità” ed impostate il suono di “Schermata di accesso pronta” a “/usr/share/sounds/linuxmint-gdm.wav”.

  Promotional materials

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  A call was made on the forums to all artists within the community. The goal is to produce promotional materials for Linux Mint:

  Linux Mint is becoming an important project and so it’s time for it to get good promotional material and to give people the means to efficiently promote it. In comparison to other projects, we’ve made almost no efforts at marketing Linux Mint. I guess you’re all aware of the marketing campaigns lead by Microsoft and Apple, and we can also appreciate the quality of the material provided by projects such as Fedora and OpenSUSE. Our desktop is among the best available, we’re growing fast and it’s been done with people talking to people and our popularity slowly spreading from ear to ear [...]

  Hallo,
  
  ich finde 2 Punkte recht "unhandlich", was aber vielleicht auch an den Einstellungen liegt.
  
  Zum einen muss ich auch bei Antworten das Thema abonnieren, um über neue Nachrichten informiert zu werden. aus anderen Foren kenne ich es so, dass ich über neue Antworten benachrichtigt werde, wenn ich dies in meinem Profil wähle. Doch immer funktioniert auch das abo nicht, ich habe diesen Thread abonniert, die letzten Antworten bekam ich aber nicht per Mail.
  
  Im RSS-Feed bekomme ich nur den ersten Beitrag eines neuen Themas angezeigt, nicht die Antworten.

  Gloria is a success! We have more visitors to our forum and irc than ever before.

  The forum was flooded with spam on May 30 and 31. On June 1 we implemented counter spam measures in the registration process. The result is truly amazing. From what I (Husse) can see as admin this stopped about 50+ spambots from registering every day!

  Repositories were down, working fine again.

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  Edit: The repositories are working fine again. Sorry for the downtime and the inconvenience.

  Original message below:

  We’re experiencing problems with the server hosting our repositories. As we can’t access it remotely we’ve ordered a manual intervention and we’re currently waiting for this to happen.

  In the meantime you can use Linux Mint just as you did before but:

  • mintUpdate will be slower to refresh (it will try to download the latest safety rules from that server, then timeout, then work normally)
  • you will see error messages when updating your APT cache
  • the website [packages.linuxmint.com] will be unavailable
  • you SHOULD NOT upgrade from Mint 6 to Mint 7 (wait until this problem is solved before upgrading, otherwise you’ll miss all the packages maintained by Mint and you’ll only get an update on the Ubuntu package base itself)

  Our apologies for the inconvenience. We’re trying to fix this problem as quick as possible.

  How to upgrade Mint 6 Felicia to Mint 7 Gloria

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  Warnings:

  • This upgrade path is for the Main Edition only, from a Mint 6 Felicia to a Mint 7 Gloria system.
  • There is no guarantee that it will work for you. In fact this is quite a risky process. If you’re experienced and if you know how to troubleshoot and solve common Linux problems (in particular X11, kernel modules and APT problems) then you’re probably OK. If you’re a novice user we recommend you perform a fresh installation of Linux Mint 7 instead.
  • You should make backups of all your data before upgrading.

  Upgrading graphically (easier):

  • Open a terminal and type the following commands: “apt update” and “apt install mintupgrader-felicia-main”
  • Open mintMenu and run “Menu->Administration->Upgrade to Linux Mint 7″
  • Follow the instructions. Choose the default options. Ignore errors (in particular GPG and gtk2-engines-aurora errors).

  Upgrading from the command line (faster, safer):

  Open a terminal and type the following commands:

  • gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (Change all occurrences of “felicia” to “gloria”, and all occurences of “intrepid” to “jaunty” then save the file and close the editor)
  • apt update
  • apt remove mintassistant
  • apt install linuxmint-keyring
  • apt update
  • apt install mint-info-main (choose “Y” or “I” to install the package maintainer’s version)
  • apt install mint-meta-main(choose “Y” or “I” to install the package maintainer’s version)

  In the terminal, repeat the following commands until both show no upgrades available:

  • apt upgrade
  • apt dist-upgrade

  Then type the following commands:

  • apt install mint-meta-main
  • sudo rm -rf /boot/gfxmenu/default.message
  • sudo ln -s /boot/gfxmenu/linuxmint.message /boot/gfxmenu/default.message

  Finally, open “Login Window” from the menu, click on the “Local” tab and choose the Arc-Wise theme. (If after rebooting you get an error about the theme at the login prompt, repeat this step.)

  To get GDM to play the default Linux Mint sound, open “Login Window”, click on the “Accessibility” tab, and set the sound for “Login screen ready” to “/usr/share/sounds/linuxmint-gdm.wav”.

  Sortie de Linux Mint 7 "Gloria"

   » ‎ Liteweb (fr)
  Et hop peu de temps après la sortie de la version 6 arrive la version 7 de Linux Mint, oui mais voilà c'est tout à fait normal ! Etant basée sur Ubuntu, et comme celle-ci vient de sortir une nouvelle version (9.04 Jaunty Jackalope), ils en profitent donc pour nous faire profiter des nouveautés de cette dernière. J'invite tous ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore Mint à l'essayer, elle vaut véritablement le coup d'oeil.
  
  Techniquement qu'est ce que l'on y trouve: Kernel 2.6.28, Gnome 2.26, Xorg 7.4, apt version (qui me semble pratique ;-) ), Moonlight plugin et le support de Silverlight 1.x, pour regarder Roland Garros ?! :-p

  Linux Mint 7 “Gloria” released!

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 7 “Gloria”.

  

  Quick steps:

  • Download the ISO.
  • While it’s downloading look at the videos and the overview of the new features in Linux Mint 7, read the User Guide and make sure to quickly go through the known issues.
  • After the ISO is downloaded verify the MD5 (as described in the user guide).
  • Burn the ISO at low speed and enjoy Linux Mint 7.

  Introduction to Linux Mint 7:

  The 7th release of Linux Mint comes with numerous bug fixes and a lot of improvements. In particular the menu system, the application manager and the upload manager now provide new features such as “Suggestions”, “Featured applications”, “SCP and SFTP support”. The underlying base of the operating system was also strengthened with a new adjustment mechanism which makes Linux Mint more robust and less vulnerable to Ubuntu package upgrades, and the introduction of virtual and meta packages which simplify upgrade paths and the installation of multiple desktop environments.

  For a detailed overview of the new features and improvements included in Linux Mint 7, please read What’s new in Gloria.

  Introduction to the Universal Edition:

  The Universal Edition is a customized version of the Main Edition with the following differences:

  • It comes as a liveDVD instead of a liveCD
  • It comes with built-in support for English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Swedish, Danish, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese/Br, Portuguese/Pt, Arabic, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Galician, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Norwegian, Japanese, Ukrainian, Romanian, Slovenian, Catalan, Greek, Czech, Slovak, Marathi, Norwegian [nynorsk], Croatian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Hindi, Finnish, Hebrew, Serbian, Belarussian and with partial support for Basque and Bosnian.
  • It comes with no codecs, no support for restricted formats and no proprietary components.
  • It features an extra item in the Sound & Video menu which launches the installation of all missing codecs via a built-in .mint file
  • It uses a text-based version of Grub instead of the graphical grub-gfxboot which comes with the Main Edition.

  The purpose of the Universal Edition is to bring a localized live system to non-English speaking users of Linux Mint and to facilitate the distribution of Linux Mint in countries where software patents are enforceable.

  System requirements:

  A minimum of 512MB of RAM is recommended. Once installed the system works fine with as low as 256MB RAM. The installation process deals with 2.5GB of data compressed on a 700MB CD and it can hang or fail on systems with less than 512MB RAM. If you have between 256MB and 512MB RAM you may have to try to install several times.

  Important information and known issues:

  For a complete list of known issues read the Release Notes.

  The root password is now set as the same as the one chosen during the installation. A blog post will follow to explain why and how this was implemented.

  If you’re using Mint tools in other distributions, make sure to turn off the adjustment system by editing /etc/linuxmint/mintSystem.conf.

  Upgrade instructions:

  To upgrade to Linux Mint 7 from Linux Mint 7 RC1, launch mintUpdate, enable the “dist-upgrade” option in the preferences window and refresh the list of upgrades. Make sure to apply all level 1 and level 2 upgrades. Among level 3 upgrades make sure to select gtk2-engines-aurora, gufw, smplayer, and nautilus-sendto.

  An upgrade path for Linux Mint 6 “Felicia” users will be published in a few days.

  Switch to the command line, Part 2

   » ‎ Handleidingen
  Time for part 2:
  
  As i wrote earlier, I've recently switched to the command line. I want to learn this piece of linux also. I've installed a few apps, to replace what i did on a gui. This is what i'm going to tell you about.
  
  The last time I've wrote about Elinks and Moc, and today I'm going to talk about Snownews and Nano.
  (Hey, but you sais you're going to talk about Vim! I know, but I've got some comments that Vim is not good for newbie's, so I'm talking about Nano this time.)
  In the last part we're going to talk about Cone and Screen.
  
  Lets start with Snownews. Snownews is an command line RSS/RDF reader. I like it because it does what it needs to do, and it is quite simple.
  
  First install it:
  sudo apt-get install snownews
  
  You'll need some rss feeds to read in snownews. I have an example feed for the Acer Aspire one Linux Distro Kuki Linux, and that's the one I'll be using here. The address is: [kuki.me]
  
  Fire up snownews:
  
  $ snownews
  
  You'll see a blank screen, because you have no feeds. First add one by pressing a. Type the feed address, in our example that is: [kuki.me] Then press enter. Now it will load the feed. You can add more feeds, if you have site's you follow. If you want to quit, press q.
  
  If you then again fire up Snownews, then you'll have to reload the feeds to check for new items. That is done by presing R (SHIFT+r). If you just want to reload 1 feed, then pres the normal r.
  
  If don't want to check every feed seperatly, then you'll have to press H (Shift+h), and you'll see all the new headlines for your feeds.
  
  Removing a feed can be done by moving upon the feed, and pressing D (Shift+d).
  
  Snownews has a very nice feature, you can automatticly open a feed in the browser. To do that, you'll first have to define the browser you are using. If your command line only, then you'll probably use Links, Elinks, W3M or lynx. Press B (Shift+b) and type the browser of choice. I typed: elinks.
  
  I have not tested if it works, but you can try to type firefox, if you use firefox. Note that you'll have to be on a machine with an X server installed, and you'll need to be working from a virtual terminal like xterm or konsole/gnome-terminal.
  
  
  Now lets talk about nano.
  
  Nano is a very small text editor, and it works unlike Vim with keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+X or CTRL+O. In the program that is shown as ^X of ^O.
  
  In ubuntu it is standard, so fire it up:
  
  $ nano
  
  There we have it. Lets write some basic stuff. The last part of this tut is being written in Nano. Or do some Lorem Ipsum stuff.
  If you've got some text, you can save it by pressing CTRL+O (WriteOut). Then enter a filename like test.txt or index.html and press Enter.
  If you want to open something in nano, like /etc/fstab then you'll need to do it like this:
  
  $ nano /etc/fstab
  
  If you have a large file and you want to search, then press CTRL+W (WhereIs) and enter the search phrase. If it is found, it will place the cursor there, and else it will say  [ "search" not found ].
  And when you want to exit Nano just press CTRL+X, and if you want to save press Y then, and enter the filename. Thats All, it couldn't be simpler.
  
  This was part 2 of my Command line switch. In the last part i'm going to talk about Cone (E-Mail) and Screen. If you have any suggestions, then just leavea comment, and then I'll reply to it.

  What to do if you cannot execute CHMOD

   » ‎ Handleidingen
  Sometimes you do strange stuff with your Linux PC.
  I did yesterday, when I was expirimenting with what would happen if I would chmod /usr/bin/chmod to 000. That gave me some problems :P.

  Luckaly I had an old (dutch) Linux magazine lying around, and there was the solution! Thanx to: Linux Magazine

  If the CHMOD program is not executable anymore, you should start it via the Linker.
  I do not know what it is, but it worked. If someone knows, then please comment :).

  Execute this command:

  sudo /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/chmod 755 /bin/chmod

  If you're on another distro that doesn't need sudo, then just su.

  This also works for other programs, just as long you know the original path to it... (/bin/rm xD)

  Edit: 777 edited to 755,
  Here is another solution thanks to: Rainer Weikusat
  perl -e 'chmod(0755, "/bin/chmod")'

  Linux Mint 7 wird mit Spannung erwartet.

   » ‎ linuxmintusers.de
  Hallo LMU'ler,
  nun dauert es nicht mehr lange, und LM 7 wird die FTP-Server erreichen. Clem hat auf dem Linux Mint Blog nochmals dargelegt, warum man sich noch etwas gedulden sollte.
  
  Linux Mint hat seinen eigenen Twitter. Und dort verfolgt nun jeder, was mit LM 7.0 passiert.
  Es sind nur noch wenige Schritte von dem Stable Release entfernt.
  

  • Clem möchte wirklich alles das gestestet haben, was möglich ist.
  • Der User-Guide muß angepasst werden, das dauert auch 1 -2 Tage etc.
  • Main und Universal werden beide gleichzeitig veröffentlicht

  Wenn alles gut geht, der Blockeintrag ist von Freitag, ist das "Teil" in 48h ready.
  Es könnte als morgen soweit sein!
  Dann warten wir mal ab, was das WE so bringt! :-)

  ETA for a Mint 7 stable release?

   » ‎ Linux Mint Blog

  I can see that’s the question on everybody’s lips right now.. “when is Mint 7 going to be released?”. You probably saw on twitter that LinuxMint-7-DEV-052.iso was approved by Exploder and that it passed all the tests… and yet, no sign of it in the mirrors and no announcements on the website

  I just want to ask the community for a little more patience. There’s very little left to do before the release but we can’t afford to skip any steps.

  - LinuxMint-7-DEV-052.iso wasn’t fully tested by myself, and although it was maintained by me and approved by Exploder, I still want to make sure about a few things before I approve it myself.

  - The Universal edition is going to be released at the same time as the Main edition, so that needs to get approved as well. I’m testing LinuxMint-7-Universal-DEV-007.iso right now. It looks good but I need to make sure it passes all the tests and that it’s easily upgradable to a Main Edition with a single click of the mouse.

  - The User Guide needs to be updated and that will take a day or two.

  - Once everything is fine, it will take up to 48 hours for the ISOs to propagate on the download mirrors.

  After that, we’ll be ready for a release.

  The upgrade path from Mint 7 RC1 is working fine. The upgrade path from Mint 6 will need to be tested and the upgrader will eventually need to be updated. This won’t hold the release though and we’ll make an announcement for Mint 6 users a few days after the release.

  Please be patient and my apologies for the time this is taking.
